No. Things in themselves are neither apriori nor aposteriori. They are not empirical, not in time and space; just postulates. Pure reason is only show...
That will be a tough sell. Things-in-themselves, for Kant, did not lie in the perceptual world at all. But this here sounds more like Husserl's things...
Kant wouldn't put it like that, but there is something close in what you say. His question really is, how are apriori synthetic judgments possible? Ta...
It is a tough cookie, but take the cognitive dimension of a model proposition like: the cup is on the table. What is the cognitive part of this? It li...
What does one make of this Kantian claim? AN excellent question for me is, How does one reasonably defend the limitation of what stands outside phenom...
Well, this is the question. One might say, with Derrida, that since there is no center from which springs the basis for all meanings, nothing inscribe...
Number one is a powerful statement. Being here refers to what can be "totalized" or assimilated into a system of understanding. I thing does not appea...
Definitions of terms I don't hold with any great value. Heidegger went to the Greeks because he found something closer to the phenomenological account...
I love irony, but spell it out for this fool. The question is, why am I saying Kant didn't understand metaphysics? I also insist Kant knew nothing of ...
That statement sounds Kantian, the extrapolation from phenomena to an impossible metaphysics. I don't really disagree, because it is right to say that...
Caught my eye, this one. Consider: An alternative way to think about metaphysics would be this: it is not that our senses have limitations, nor about ...
Is there nothing I can do to make you explain something? By any standard, you're just too vacant and glib. Is this what analytic philosophy's positivi...
Remember I asked you: "What philosopher that seems muddled are you talking about? What is the source of the muddle? This is the question is begged her...
Never liked the word faith. Endorses silliness. But if you take a few years to study and actually come to understand what this post Kantian tradition ...
This is a huge question, and I have found reading mysticism and the Eastern descriptions of deeper insight simply assumes what has to be shown. The Cl...
The OP refers to Kant and post Kantian thinking. The muddle is what is in question. It is a difficult question for anyone who takes the categories of ...
Consider what it is that is silenced: it is the ordinary sense of the world that usually and immediately makes the claim on the moment. This is suspen...
Looking through comments, you caught my eye. Just a comment or so. I would guess (guess, not know) that you haven't come to see the course of thought ...
Well, this doesn't make the essential move, which begins with the logical structure of the statement about a nose bleed. Kant is doing an analysis of ...
You are on the right path, by my thinking. But you need to take the next step, and this is a very big step: Kant found noumena in some impossible beyo...
Yeah, I will take a close look at Investigations soon. After I finish with Michel Henry and others. But two things: As to it being an entirely differe...
The good is a special question. But what it IS is going to be cast in language. I don't see Wittgenstein looking through language. I do see him having...
It would be argued that whatever you talk about, you are always talking about language when inquiry moves to basic assumptions, which is philosophy. W...
I have a very soft spot in my thoughts for Emerson. Philosophically I think lacks discipline, as with my favorite, "Nature"; he sort of toys with Plat...
But the issue that moves further on from this is, why "I think"? Why not I believe, I feel, I care, I sense, and so on? And then there is the issue of...
Well, did you not just "say" this? There is no escaping this nature of language as an historically evolving and contingent phenomenon (and talk about ...
You have put your finger on the pulse of the matter. Consider how a physicalist's reality falls apart instantly, for if experience yields to a physica...
Keep in mind, Angelo Cannata, that any talk about mental structures also belongs that personal narrative. Structures? What structures? You mean the on...
Our emotions are dependent on stimuli. But the hard knowledge claims of science you want to endorse are also dependent on stimuli. You "observe" the d...
But really, Darkneos, all this says is no. You have to come to grips with this and try harder to actually make a case. I can help you: You would have ...
No, it's not. Not taken as it stands in itself. Context can be brought to bear, but this changes nothing regarding the occurrent pain. Your burning fi...
The pain is ahistorically bad. It cannot be mitigated for what it is, only how for how it stands against competing interests, and such things are, of ...
when you say you have taken it seriously, then what is it, exactly, taken seriously: who have you read and what do you think about what they said. You...
When I listen to music, the knowledge is implcit, like when you walk down the street it is impliciit that the pavement will yield to your step and so ...
I can't imagine a simple belief without justification, even if it is wrong. I mean, I truly can't conceive of this. Knowledge is supposed to take beli...
Well, this just says you haven't a clue. A bit like the Christian who insists through Jesus redemption arrives, but when asked how defers to faith. If...
Or Moore's Here is one hand, or Diogenes against Zeno? One has to draw a distinction between something like being "appeared to redly" and aesthetics/v...
Evidence of what? Evidence for the claim that the world outside our heads is not what we experience? Well, it's really not to the point. But since you...
This sounds reasonable, about Kant. But I would only add that the nature of what is noumenal cannot be grasped in our finitude. "Reflection on our own...
To me, this is a bit confusing, Alkis Piskas. I doubt we disagree, in the end. Pls explain how "the words "justified" and "true" are incompatible with...
But this is just to the point I am making. But you need to make a further step into inquiry: when you analyze a star's light and bring forth a conclus...
Think of Heidegger's historical account of knowing. The cow has been grazing for years, say, and it looks up a sees what memory informs her to be 'goo...
Are you alluding to Heidegger's alethia? Well, I certainly do not subscribe to the impossible idea of there being something that can be known but outs...
You feel unconvinced because you think you are being asked to believe that the desire or for or feeling about something is a truth all by itself, and ...
