I support your effort to become persnickity in the use of terms. Kant is pretty darn specific in Prolegomena to any Future Metaphysic regarding what h...

I read Kant's insistence upon the intuitions as not a claim upon the limits of knowledge but acceptance of a structure we always use. The objection to...

Perhaps so. I will leave you be.

Unlike Plato? Edit to add: Here we are, repeating the discussion of four years ago.

That leaves out the "if at all" which consumed much of that discussion.

A close reading of the Phaedo is a start. There is a discussion put forward by Fooloso4 that frames the different reactions to the text made here and ...

Bernie is showing how it is done with the withdrawal of the GOP from its people.

Are you saying there is no means to compare actions by nations because they all get wrapped in political messaging? I have objected to crappy things t...

After considering the essay as a whole, the argument assumes all consent is manufactured and that there are only two producers of that sort of thing i...

A "no" from what? The claims made by the Administration?

It is rare to have a position argued so forcibly.

I see the claims but not the documents supporting them. You know, the sort that Congress would demand.

Where is all this information sharing happening?

Plato addressed that better than I can.

Or you misunderstood the context of expressing my limited understanding of our experience.

I was not questioning why you claimed what you did. Claiming what minds are is another matter. Literally.

I am not claiming what returns or not in the frame of some future {maybe} possible world. My life dissolves before my eyes. On the other hand, your la...

And if someone was planning to work in this field of research for their entire career, hearing: is tantamount to saying: "Take this chump change or le...

That is the kind of oblivion that I fear. It applies to memory of information and events but most keenly to my life as homo faber. I have learned a nu...

But Boris, what about Moose and Squirrel? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XlO39kCQ-8

Can't wait to read the review. There is mounting skepticism, however, emerging from such claims being made: Rubio's statement about 'consulting with C...

The trade wars Trump is kicking off are an attempt at controlling markets. They are a sharp departure from the "Neo-liberalism" that touted the benefi...

Okay. I will try to stay with it.

how swifty the conversation moves on to something easier to circumscribe. I prefer the original topic about impending death.

The precursor to the 'materialistic' age was people saying they knew what your deal would be after you died. Luther said no human could be involved wi...

What about those centuries when you could change your prospects in the afterlife by getting with the winning team? There is a large distance to travel...

The outcomes of the effort to dismantle civil service are now changing the lives of my friends and family. From the dissolution of pensions to suddenl...

Looking at the table of contents, It does not seem to challenge Heidegger's claim that Nietzsche produced the last metaphysic. A bit of text toward cl...

I will look for it. John Sallis refers to that text in his Verge of Philosophy, saying:

jorndoe is correct in that the 'window' is described in this way: But your coworkers dismissal of your dismay is also a normalization of rhetoric that...

Maybe so.

Understood about the importance of early education. My thinking is if the Federal dough is no longer going to be supporting that then what? All the "s...

Look up the Overton Window and see how what is repulsive at one time becomes "normal" in another. Your coworker is pushing you out of the conversation...

No need to choose. It is a race against time. Rob the store with electric wheelbarrows before the local cops arrive.

Who or what are you quoting from? It is not in the graph page you posted. I get the idea that supporting particular programs in very poor areas is not...

Those are good questions. I think there is a relationship between Timaeus and the Sophist in this regard. The Stranger brings into question the absolu...

Yes, a certain number of us quote freely from it at work.

In European versus Global news, the U.S. decision to cut off Intelligence support for Ukraine is answered by Macron announcing he will pick up the sla...

It looks like the plan to shut down the Department of Education is going forward. It was funny to hear the T complain about U.S. school rankings durin...

Where did you read that?

That, combined with other terminations of intelligence gathering along with the attempts to delete data in each department points to a willingness for...

What if it is both? By this measure, it sounds like you understand what faith is. I think I know what you are saying but please provide your favorite ...

The specific mechanism of U.S. politics that causes so many Republicans to act so sheepishly is the Primary Process whereby eligible candidates for of...

The Ukrainians will decide what the fighting is worth. They are the ones who do it. What others may think of their fortunes will not replace that deci...

It is the U.S. Marshalls who enforce court orders as well as 'contempt of congress' actions. In the case of impeachment, Congress has more power than ...

These GSA cuts undercut the support for the digital platform of Social Security accounts. That sucks after pretty much having to sign up to maintain c...

The National Guard is integrated into the Federal command structure. States have some authority toward mobilization but not an override of Executive d...

I take your point regarding the ineffective suction. Further attempts will occur. The way that Trump described himself and Putin suffering from the sa...

I don't want to broadly condemn any approach to reading texts. I have found much value with starting with the original before reading other reactions....
