Axioma de la patata.

Everything tastes good with potatoes.

Definitely the best fractal vegetable I know of.
January 18, 2023 at 08:11
I've seen those but never eaten one. But it's a Brassica so :up:

Kind of similar in English, which has “squash” to cover them all, although the pumpkin seems to have special status. Can we talk about a better vegeta...

Apparently, pumpkins are winter squashes, but not all winter squashes are pumpkins. It’s almost as confusing as the sardines vs. pilchards debate.

Finished it. A big fat mess. Recommended. Next: Stephen Gregory, The Cormorant.

As always, we're open to suggestions, but I don't see a reason to change things at the moment. We introduced the Suspended status last year, but we do...

Yes, but I'm accustomed to, some would say cosseted by, the culinary conveniences of late capitalism.

Olive oil with tofu? Well, why not? This morning I had toast with butter and marmalade, but it wasn't really marmalade because it wasn't made with Sev...

It has happened many times over the years, both on the old PF and on TPF. It normally doesn't happen without a lot of discussion first, as Hanover has...

It did amuse me when I was in Majorca and other parts of Catalonia and the local speciality breakfast was … toast. They seemed to make a big deal of i...

That’s not the most appetising tostada con tomate I’ve ever seen (I don’t know how this differs from pan con tumaca, if at all). I made this one in 20...

In my mind it’s a flintlock.

I’m curious if your mental image is the same as mine. In mine, Clarky is sitting on a rocking chair on a porch, shouting at passersby.

We can’t see who flagged a post.
January 13, 2023 at 14:15
I’m looking forward to seeing how close your first attempt comes to looking like that one on the cover. Or. Aubergine. I was trying to write something...
January 13, 2023 at 04:32
I agree with this. I also think that those comments in favour of heated conflict were based on a basic misunderstanding. Even if there are some people...
January 12, 2023 at 18:08
Yeah I think that one's outdated, so I'll remove it. Yep, that's item 12 (soon to be 11).

Banned @"Olivier5" for persistently attempting to derail a thread with accusations of trolling and so on, refusing to stop when I asked, calling me an...

I’m in agreement with a lot of what you’ve said in this discussion, but I think it’s worth pointing out why people do this. I think it’s an understand...

Normally I consider the celebration of a ban unseemly, but in this case I encourage it.

It appeared to me from looking at his posting history that he was unpleasant to nearly everyone, usually without provocation. Whatever caused this beh...

Banned @"Bartricks" for a consistently disruptive and insulting attitude. Long overdue really.

Yes and no. They’re certainly not synonymous, as Britannica implies, but things as they are in themselves and noumena are closely related. Both are on...

They’ve been cast before swine.

Someone’s got to do it.

As I recall, these would either both be elements of the understanding (judgements or categories) or else, in the case of form, either an imposition of...

By the way, I can't remember the last time there was a Kant exegesis thread, so thanks! :up: I can't promise I'll contribute much more though, as I do...
January 09, 2023 at 09:22
But if you want to include a priori mathematical concepts and categories of the understanding under the term noumena, appealing to the ancient use of ...

As I explained in the other discussion, I think Schopenhauer is wrong about this, for the simple reason that Kant explicitly contradicts him on more t...

His idea of transcendental apperception could be the key. There is consciousness of oneself as a phenomenal object, and there is a consciousness of on...

My own answer is no, not quite, but this is a big topic that doesn’t belong in this discussion. I poked my head in to challenge Wayfarer’s scurrilous ...

Can you suggest a better alternative? I would happily adhere to this were it not for the inevitable fury of my linguistically misguided compatriots. A...
January 09, 2023 at 07:24
Yeah I don’t want to take things off-topic too much, so I’ll just say the following, because you make a good point. Remember that intuition for Kant m...
January 09, 2023 at 06:25
I and many Kant scholars think Schopenhauer was wrong about that. At the very least his reading is unfair and simplistic. This is also how Kant used t...
