Bantu causality is ontological while Hume and Kant make it epistemological

Evidence

Bantu Philosophy holds (as does neo-Scholastic Thomism) an ontological conception of causality; that is, it considers the relation(s) of cause and effect to also exist outside our perception (Tempels 1959: 30). On the other hand, there is the epistemological view, as most often put forward by Hume and Kant, that causality has nothing to do with the reality outside us but with our own capacity to know. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 1019
