Not self-contradictory; there's a spectrum in idealism from correlationism to full-blown subjective idealism. My short post was meant to cover all the...

Geistige Erfahrung and the Scientific Image of Man Intellectual experience is the common translation of geistige Erfahrung, but occasionally it's rend...

@"Metaphysician Undercover" As to what identity-thinking is, I refer back to my post on page 2: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/9845...

The relevant idealism is the view that reality is mental (in Hegel, rational-spiritual). It's the reduction of objects to correlates of thought. If yo...

Yeah but I still struggle to get my head around such and such. Cool video. Probably not very relevant. But then, MU's mention of Platonic objects was ...

What makes you say that?

That's idealism. And didn't you, yourself, say that society was no more than a concept?

Introduction: Argument and Experience (iii) I like this: I was initially surprised by this, because precisely the kind of arbitrary list of facts you ...

Whether I was wrong to do so, I interpreted @"T Clark" to be referring to innate racial differences.

Yes.

He wrote an OP expressing his belief that race and aesthetics are connected: Northern European people are better than others at producing beautiful wo...

@"Eros1982" was banned for racism.

Do we have to choose?

It might have been a scurrilous rumour but I heard Dave took on bass duties on Animals, at least in places.

Yeah I've been meaning to say something about intellectual experience. The whole introduction is basically a "Theory of Intellectual Experience," as i...

Ouch.

Totally. And even though Adorno hated Heidegger, I see a lot of common ground between them (and you) on this score.

Right. When I asked Google in Russian what colour it was, the A.I. overview said, "?????????????? ?????? ? ?????-?????????? ????? ????-??????? ???? ??...

Why did you say this? Because I quoted Kant on intuition and concepts? Then you have misunderstood. Otherwise, you're failing to understand ... well, ...

It's explicitly about both. That's explicitly what it's saying.

Goats too.

Heidegger's "Origin of the Work of Art" is very relevant: The point he's leading to is that the perception and appreciation of art are not separate, t...

So the reason I brought up Russian blues was to cast doubt on this statement: We now know that how we conceptualize the spectrum does affect how we se...

Yeah, it didn't look like you were attacking him. I just took the opportunity to say something about agenda-driven philosophy, cos it's interesting. A...

Very interesting. I'm in danger of going down a rabbit hole now.

There's no doubt in my mind that @"Wayfarer" is driven fundamentally by an agenda, but I'm in two minds about whether that's a bad thing. On the one h...

Don't feel bad.

The urge to devour and assimilate what is not oneself.

In Russian it's only blue; the other colours correspond. But of all the colours I suspect the green-blue region is particularly variable across langua...

A result of what I just said is that Russians can distinguish shades of blue more accurately than English speakers, showing that perception is to some...

Yes, ????? and ??????? are basic colour terms and are thus seen as basic colours, not as shades of the same colour. The difference is that we think of...

It blows my mind how people don’t get it, and even refuse to accept it. Surely once in my life I’ll get the appropriate reaction: “oh really, that’s c...

So have I and they don’t. But your comment is meaningless without more information. The colours denoted by “?????” and “blue” are not the same.

You need to do more research. What is shown there is closer to ??????? than to ?????. ????? in English is “dark blue” or maybe “deep blue”. The word “...

No. Russians don’t. Some pairs of hues are closer together than others, but the rest is preconceptions.

Nom nom :yum:

Sweet and sour. I've never been a pumpkin man but I’m open to changing my ways.

Do you see light blue and dark blue as shades of the same colour?

Introduction: Argument and Experience (ii) This is the distinction I've mentioned before between examples and models (or "thought-models" as he puts i...

But this is not putting it "simply". Better put it like this: I simply meant that you don't need to be a member to get that information, or similar (s...

:lol:

Are you asking how to work it out? Or are you indulging in meaningless and pretentious verbiage just for the fun of it? I suspect the latter, and that...

Actually, I worked it out by means available to any member.

By my reckoning Banno has posted between 420 and 450 times in the Shoutbox. Thats about 3.6 times per month.

Also available on Spotify etc. I expected some pushback. Disappointed!

:scream: Well, I’m willing to postpone it till we have our final showdown. I will say that “he is clear with his choice” is ambiguous. He is clear tha...

AP’s anti-historicism is also mentioned a few times in the podcast. Whether the book manages to trace that back to social conditions, I don’t know.

You could mean that you literally don't see much in the transcript that is critical of AP, or you could mean you don’t see much good critique. I’ll ad...

I don't know what you mean. On the face of it it doesn’t seem to go against what I’ve said. I never said hermeneutics was just textual interpretation,...

Yeah, but surely analytic philosophy is not just a method of interpretation. It seems like an odd use of the term. But maybe you know better than me—I...
