That was also a prominent feature of Orban's election victory in Hungary. A lot of the other moves used by Orban would not work in the U.S. system bec...

In terms of a national law usurping local authority, perhaps a closer parallel would be the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. The slave catchers, however, w...

Let's say the cops came and cleared out a storage locker I rented by the month. But they made no effort to account for what was removed while it was h...

The claim is essential to his brand. He got people to talk about it again. It is like the Durham investigation in that respect. But the idea of indepe...

The FBI just raided the Fulton County storage of election results for the 2020 election in Georgia. Nothing much is known yet about the "probable caus...

I understand what you are saying about political messaging. What is most important to me is the scale of the present effort. The recognition deserves ...

While you are making a list, a few more bullet points: The targeting of specific states based upon partisan metrics. The breakdown of established prot...

I take your point about jurisdiction. I was thinking of the exclusion from the investigation from established procedures. So you have motions like the...

Looking at the videos, it is interesting how the other shooters followed the first, a spasm of fear notable in other killings by groups.

Yes, it is the shutting out of local law enforcement that pumps this up to really bad.

I think the distance between Hegel's and Kant's use of terms does not permit a simple comparison of what they argue is the case in some language outsi...

That would be a perversely solipsistic endeavor, likely to challenge the limits of your daily life. But if you must do it, you should start with On th...

I think he started by looking at instincts as a cause of effects. Then he got interested in the idea that such a code could be rewritten.

Not usually what people complain about when they complain about me. Your statement sounds like a particular reading of Kant, I suppose.

Do you see "what you have read" in the portions I have quoted from Hegel? I don't understand

In Hegel, the life of an individual human being happens in the context of an unfolding over time of the potential for freedom to actually come into co...

Thank you for all of the debate. Fare forward.

I wonder if the experience with beauty competitions plays a part in the reactions.

My push back on Reitan's comments is not an endorsement of what Westacott objects to. I am not defending Kant or Hegel. I think all readers can agree ...

He certainly does not treat the things in themselves as a mysterious region behind the veil of appearance: I did a word search for noumena in the book...

Sounds similar to flan.

The interpretation prompted me to re-read a lot of Hegel. A lonely enterprise these days.

I understand the importance of learning through contradiction but where in Hegel's words can I find the reason to agree with: Why should I accept this...

All I am asking for is an example of Hegel doing that in his own words. I think Reitan is misrepresenting Hegel's intentions regarding the "unknowable...

https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/1035819 While it is true that Hegel introduced a view of Reason that overturned many elements of Kan...

Hegel, as discussed by Reitan in your linked article, did say, in a number of places, that Kant wanted to figure out the limits of reason before using...

Perhaps I erred by pulling in a quote relatively late in the Critique. The arguments have already been made about what is given through intuition and ...

I think Kant is campaigning for an understanding of objectivity that differs from your narrative. I need to think about how to put that forward. The "...

Well, I brought in the relationship with a "transcendental object" to express Kant's vision of himself as walking between two extreme views. Getting t...

Kant's intent seems to be going the other way in regard to the two intuitions working together:

He does refer to it, albeit in as a source of misunderstanding: More at A355, B427, and B441. To the matter of objects, this footnote ties it to the l...

I dig the previous recommendations. A Fire Upon The Deep by Victor Vinge is great work of world-building. Vinge has other books that are stories assum...

It seems to me that what is most critical in the culture wars is what the role of equal rights under law amounts to in application. That is often conf...

The distinction made between a realm of becoming and the realm of eternity in early Greek thought is an interesting frame to consider. Change becomes ...

I was responding to you saying: In your statements so far, that limit is self-evident for you. Pointing out that is not the same for others is not an ...

That suggests that our thoughts about perception are an impediment to perception. I accept that they are speculative but against what measure can they...

The situation is interesting to compare to the U.S. backed coup in Chile that brought in Pinochet. The corporate backers of that action were stinging ...

You set up those conditions of what a "mental state" involved. You presume the difference that you hope to demonstrate.

Upon what basis do you make this distinction? We do not own our experiences; we just have them.

There is a problem here with comparisons. If one invokes "experience", that includes all that we do not understand about it happening. Thinking about ...

Heinrich Böll and Günter Grass tried to talk about it. Their attempts listened to the silence.

Happy New Year. My last Rödl quote of the year: This is a two-for-one as Rödl acknowledges the influence of Kimhi in saying this.

Continuing on the topic of Being not being understood as a class or kind, the following from Bernadette captures an important aspect of Aristotle purs...

In the context of the Rector speech, it is helpful to contrast Heidegger's vision with Nietzsche's. I think my post of three years ago is germane to t...

While I appreciate the work of Sachs as a translator and interpreter, the following from the article is problematic: If there are good reasons not to ...

I was thinking of how Heidegger played hide and seek with Nietzsche's version of Dionysus. Adam Lecznar's Dionysus After Nietzsche does a great breakd...

Works for me, even if that is not the only thing to be said.

Those are difficult questions. Judging from my readings of the Lectures on Nietzsche, the "Last Metaphysic" is the end of finding "value" in a system ...

That document is interesting in how it ties a revival of a "Greek awakening" to his moment. The references to the Republic seem to be a direct appeal ...

A belated back at you. Time to start a batch of Hoppin John for the New Year.
