I appreciate your persistence with me as I work to understand subtleties of language and meaning you're trying to communicate. I hope I can claim a me...

You imply, as per the Kant quote, being-in-general, because it further elaborates no dimensionality of beings-specific, has no countable being and thu...

And, proceeding from that welcome note of optimism and generosity, let me ask you, regarding, https://philosophy.lander.edu/intro/articles/kantexisten...

I see and accept the truth of what you say above. I don't oppose Heidegger; that fresh thinking requires neologisms is also something I accept without...

Since the above clause has "existence" functioning as a noun, the meaning conveyed is true but trivial. If we say, "I am existing." is a false stateme...

Everything that is possesses the common attribute of being-ness. To deny that being-ness populates a set is, in my opinion, to deny a promising attack...

'existence is not a predicate' = '"is existing" is not a predicate'?

Ah! I now understand you better. At the risk of being tiresome, I feel like I want to repeat the statement you quoted. I say this because my approach ...
March 24, 2023 at 21:27
Okay. That's an appropriate restriction for me to obey. When you make claims, as above, are you not straying from what Heidegger is investigating? If ...

Firstly, it entails the existential fact of my existence and, moreover, it entails my acknowledgement of my own existence. Existence of things is an e...

Although a tautology does not advance the narrative of discovery, that doesn't mean it's false. To say, “all things that are have in common that they ...

How can "beings" as signifier have meaning if it doesn't signify common attributes of things, thereby gathering these things together into a set?
March 24, 2023 at 15:23
Answering this question leads to: extrapolation from members of a set to an axiom of the set? Being is a blood brother to moebius-strip_time-loop? Tim...

This is clear. Now I understand the distinction. Thanks for supplying this quote; it increases my interest in Nietzsche and Heidegger. Curiously, I'm ...

Does the guiding question not imply a search for the essence of being? I don't suppose anyone thinks it seeks after the surface or periphery of being.

Even if the standard of objective truth is fundamentally flawed, it can prove useful in determining the category to which a particular theorist belong...

In the olden days (my childhood), when we had milkmen and they delivered milk in glass bottles to our door, sometimes a bottle would lie burst on its ...

Your analysis is correct. What I'm trying to do has to be processed through the channel of truth. Think of a plumb line and how it's used to keep a bu...

Can you elaborate? Can you give me a link to an article that elaborates?

Thanks for the link. :up:

Thanks for the weigh-in. Dialogue is divine, even when it's not. You think my thinking untidy. The hard trick in slinking behind low expectations: mai...

My central mission in this conversation is to define time in terms of boundaries and their inter-relationships. My central premise is that time is a t...

Are you talking about gravitational attraction? g = 9.8 m/s ^2 You hold this equation in contempt? Is this the language you respect?

March 07, 2023 at 16:32
As I understand you, you're telling me cause and effect is not a temporal phenomenon. Am I reading you correctly?

So d = depth? A variable is not abstract?

You're right about this. Do you buy the notion gravity-and-acceleration are a unified concept within a restricted domain:
