  The root problem of Rationalist Nativism, as seen through the lens of Kant’s Transcendental Idealism, is that it needs to say more than that something – a framework of concepts, ideas, principles, etc. – is innate in us. It needs to say that it is only in us. It must acknowledge that we create the structure that we find in our experience. The problems of Rationalist Nativism all arise from trying to get from the mind’s structuring to the world’s inherent structure. Once we drop the idea that we are aiming for the world’s inherent, mind-independent structure, the problems (should) dissolve.
