How exactly do apostrophes perpetrate assault?

The most annoying thing about you is that you use backticks for apostrophes, but welcome to TPF anyway. :smile:

You are to be applauded for publicly expressing your regret about getting angry. You have thereby exorcized the demon. There is a semi-conscious demon...

MMA? Screaming in a soundproof booth? Music? Asking for a friend.

I’m not religious but part of me wants to be either Catholic or Muslim. I’ve been in countries where most people come in one of those flavours of Abra...

Sounds like where I used to live. Sounds like capitalism.

:death:

Agreed. My usage was imprecise. I was thinking of knowledge as knowledge about facts and what exists only. Synthetic knowledge.

To the Lounge with this rubbish.

Welcome, Henrilitor :smile:

Or maybe we can’t do (non-dogmatic) philosophy without Hume.

Indeed. So Hume’s scepticism can be viewed in two ways: (a) we don’t know anything about the world around us, or (b) proof and absolute certainty are ...

No worries. I assumed you’d assumed I was replying to your comment in the Shoutbox about Nietzsche.

I know, and nobody can blame the postmodernists for that.

Yes I see. First, distinguish between the truth and the realism issues, because they are, or can be, independent. Regarding truth, have a look at Fict...

Me too. I just had a look in the cupboard and the cup was right there!

Unless what you’re really interested in is postmodern philosophy itself, you’re probably better off looking at the foundations of mathematics and the ...

Perceived sometimes, other times unperceived. The cup in the cupboard and all that. Hume discusses continued existence and concludes we can’t justifia...

Not just that.

There is a chasm between us and I don't know how to bridge it, but if I work out a way I'll get back to you.

:strong:

Knew you'd say that

A swan? I don't think so. A goose plus a quail is about right, if you have to avoid ducks.

The interesting thing here is not the news so much as the unit of measurement. /uploads/resized/files/cb/8ute20xukzrycven.jpeg

:up:

That's interesting, thanks. I have not read the Critique of Judgment and was not aware of any non-conceptually grounded universality. I am guessing th...

:cry:

:cool:

Oh yeah, I forgot it was you who planted the seed. :clap:

I was just ranting, about Schopenhauer's ranting. But you're right: Nietzsche is one of my favourite philosophers, but seriously flawed personally and...

Is this the meaning of "vibrant and happening" these days? :groan:

It's like on the home page, where The Shoutbox, Site Guidelines, and Subscribe to TPF are pinned to the top. Any thread can be pinned like that within...

:up: To me it's like a parable of climate change, but maybe more likely connects with social conflict in Ireland. Great imagery anyway.

Much of what you say is agreeable. On the connections and differences between K and H, I got a lot from that paper I linked to in my last post: Sebast...

“Postscript” by Seamus Heaney And some time make the time to drive out west Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore, In September or October, when t...

I did actually create a draft announcement but didn't follow through. Now that things seem to have calmed down, I'm not going to bother with the annou...

It was pinned to the top of whatever category it was in before. Apparently, when discussions are moved to a different category, their pinnedness attac...

Your wife has good taste, in food at least. I love a good lentil on a winter's eve.

Regarding objectivity in Kant, there is a way of putting it which is less apologetic, less embarrassed about its apparently subjective flavour. For Ka...

Fair enough :cool:

I think he was a ranting, reactionary maniac who stopped thinking after he'd finished the first volume of the WWR, who pushed an innocent woman down t...

Yes, and the interesting thing is that even though the field of possible experience and cognition is immanent--lying within the bounds of sense and un...

Yes indeed, that's the way I think about it, and I'm a bit puzzled why this point is not often made. I guess it's because in Husserl's scheme, there i...

This is a key point. Immanence is within the limits of possible experience. It is opposed to transcendence, which would denote contact with something ...
