I think you would have to say that moral imperatives are imperatives of perfect reason in order to get to steps 4 and 5.

@"Cobra" My post might be something for you, judging by your comment: I think it's not even a stretch to say God has already committed suicide. @"Corv...

Not true. He criticizes Kant in the sense of making his ideas argumentatively tenable. Prauss is presented in a book calledKantian Subjects Critical. ...

He is considered at least one of the most important Kant experts. But he goes beyond Kant. So he is not a Kantian in the traditional sense, but a tran...

There is a transcendental-idealistic approach, by the already mentioned Gerold Prauss, who has similarities with Fichte, and who refrains from the tra...

Gerold Prauss has an interesting approach in this respect: https://www.reddit.com/r/GermanIdealism/comments/ke93ks/gerold_prauss/

It must be a difference within a unity.

I believe William Lane Craig discusses your problem and offers a solution: Should be in this essay: https://ojs.uclouvain.be/index.php/theologica/arti...

The transcendental idealist Gerold Prauss would say that transcendental idealism makes claims about both the world and us.
February 14, 2022 at 14:57
@"180 Proof" The question would then be whether we are part of the world. If so, a claim about us would be one also about the world. If no, what does ...

By the way. The philosopher of religion Paul Draper calls the view I present here demergent deism: I think you can call it that or nihilistic pandeism...

Yes, with regard to the world of appearances, that is, the empirical world. I mean, however, the will in itself, outside of space and time. Schopenhau...

The concept of the Supreme Being, which I have presented, is different from that of Schopenhauer and the Neoplatonists. Plotin's and Schopenhauer's On...

Here is an excellent essay where the neoclassical approach is also discussed in a nutshell. You can read it online without having to log in: https://w...

As far as I can recall, the perspectivism is discussed most extensively in The Gay Science (or The Joyful Wisdom).
February 14, 2022 at 12:58
The God of theistic personalism is the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham and Moses. The God of Classical theism is the Neoplatonic God, Plotinus' G...

Therefore Heraclitus has to take motion as an inexplicable axiom, against which nothing speaks. He would have to accept, as Nietzsche did in his spiri...

@"Bartricks" Since the word "necessary" exists in normal language, you can use it and reinterpret it according to your theology. That is, you can weak...
June 10, 2021 at 15:03
I have always assumed that in your favor. But you will admit that it makes sense to make a distinction even within the framework set by your God betwe...
June 10, 2021 at 13:28
Why? The necessity is obvious. The sentence 'a triangle is a space enclosed by three lines' is a truth that everyone who is not insane will consider n...
June 10, 2021 at 13:08
1 + 1 = 2 is a necessary truth as long as your God wants it to be so. ‘a triangle is a space enclosed by three lines’. The truth maker is the principl...

So it will always remain speculation. I consider it a legend that there was ever anything delightfully readable by Aristotle. For one cannot construct...
June 10, 2021 at 12:01
Truth is related to propositions in the usual sense, that is true. But truth could also be equated with actuality, reality. That would be a different ...
June 10, 2021 at 11:51
I would like to add a quote from Schopenhauer to this: "Aristotle’s main characteristic could be described as the greatest sagacity, combined with cir...
June 10, 2021 at 10:37
For Heraclitus, the whole of the world (the highest or top in the hierarchy) always seems to remain the same: "This world, which is the same for all, ...

Why call this thing a "square circle"? And not rather "babig"? How do I know that God is not caught in self-deception, should He make something like s...
June 10, 2021 at 09:26
In its generality, your thesis seems halfway plausible at first glance. Nevertheless, it should be allowed to ask what this looks like in concrete ter...
June 10, 2021 at 07:53
It only seems that way because I use a very good translation program that respects grammar and spelling and syntax. I wish you much success with it. I...
June 10, 2021 at 06:59
I agree with you, but on the other hand, there is something futile about good actions without rewards. You can't help feeling this way. One could even...
June 09, 2021 at 13:41
I agree with you, the questions are just how is logic derived and what is its ontological status. I can say that logic can be derived from the things ...
June 09, 2021 at 13:37
Obviously, a circle is a geometric figure that has a two-dimensional base. This is also true for a square, which is a geometric figure with the essent...
June 09, 2021 at 12:54
You're right, I was probably thinking more along the lines of "decorative" philosophy.
June 09, 2021 at 11:40
What you say may be true. I think it's important to be honest with oneself first. I have certain philosophers that I believe are closer to the truth. ...
June 09, 2021 at 11:36
The question is then also why one maintains moral principles whose possible or even probable violation seems threatening and troubling.
June 09, 2021 at 11:18
Yes, you probably don't escape any form of punitive threat, whether you believe in morality or not. If in the future there was something like the Ring...
June 09, 2021 at 11:15
That's a good important point that I hadn't considered in my original post. The punishing own conscience, whereby the conscience turns out differently...
June 09, 2021 at 11:10
It is unclear whether these particular dreams of mine were precognitive or more clairvoyant. I believe the latter is the case. It's always hard to tel...
June 08, 2021 at 09:33
Yes, it is especially problematic when some want to passive-aggressively impose their philosophy on others.
June 08, 2021 at 08:00
That's a nice picture. But do you think it's ever feasible? For one cannot agree even on the deepest philosophical foundations. Whoever says that non-...
June 08, 2021 at 07:57
Or perspectivism. I think, the term relativism does also work, if it is understood as a view, according to which every insight is only relatively (con...
June 08, 2021 at 07:43
Perhaps one can say that many philosophies are not so far away from each other, if one looks more closely. I have found, for example, that Neoplatonic...
June 08, 2021 at 07:35
This also has an absurdist touch to it. Some people would be happy about it, others afraid.
June 08, 2021 at 07:21
Thank you for your response despite its somber content. I am very interested in parapsychological phenomena, that is why I asked you about your precog...
June 07, 2021 at 20:44
I like Nietzsche's short concise explanations: "Misunderstanding of the dream. - The man of the ages of barbarous primordial culture believed that in ...
June 07, 2021 at 20:17
Okay, thanks.
June 07, 2021 at 18:07
Can you maybe delve into that in more detail and describe it? I would be very interested in that.
June 07, 2021 at 17:52
In general, I agree with you, although in the history of philosophy there has always been a dispute about what is semantically inconsistent and what i...

There might be a way to find evidence of at least partial life after death if one lives on in one's donated organs: "A few authors have reported perce...
