An idea is the meaningful core of a series of signifiers. And its nature is transcendence.
September 13, 2025 at 03:37
Our intentional acts, as they are thrown into the possible and the non-given of the world, imply operationally a continuity between the measuring appa...
September 13, 2025 at 03:05
I am a little disappointed with your response. You have simply reiterated what you already said, reaffirming your position but without providing any a...
September 12, 2025 at 07:15
I am not referring to the physical/ chemical sciences, which are indeed reducible to each other. I am referring to the vast array of sciences and disc...
September 12, 2025 at 01:16
I don't think you fully understand what a reduction means. What do you understand by reduction in any case?
September 11, 2025 at 15:58
Yes. But we must keep in mind that physicalists have chosen a couple of sciences (in this case, physics and chemistry) from which they seek to derive,...
September 11, 2025 at 15:42
Can any of the physical-chemical sciences explain the intentionality of consciousness or explain what a noema is better than phenomenology? Or the Pyt...
September 11, 2025 at 06:30
You should accept the premise of the possible world, since in our relationship with the world, it is shown as something that is not given once and for...
September 09, 2025 at 14:20
Not in the world just like that, but in a possible world. But it is still a world as telos and exteriority. That is why possibility has a horizon of r...
September 09, 2025 at 02:25
If you look closely, its possibility is determined by the horizon of the world. How can something be possible if it does not mean possible IN THE WORL...
September 09, 2025 at 01:43
I speak of continuity because our intentions are thrown into the world. That is, there is a determining exteriority in our intentional acts (It is no ...
September 09, 2025 at 00:49
If it is purely conceptual, then it is impossible to explain how, operationally, there is a correspondence between our concepts (language) and the wor...
September 08, 2025 at 02:42
I agree. I should not have said measurement excluding the scientist's intentional acts. What I should have said to avoid this misunderstanding that yo...
September 07, 2025 at 22:23
Not at all. I am simply describing what is actually happening. Since we do not interact with the isolated quantum system, the measuring device does so...
September 07, 2025 at 15:50
I am referring to measurement as the phenomenon that takes place in the measuring device. For example, interference, detection, etc. I am not referrin...
September 07, 2025 at 15:33
Keep in mind that the quantum system is in isolation. The measuring device, as I understand it, breaks that isolation at the moment of measurement. Th...
September 07, 2025 at 07:44
Measuring is actually an interaction, like with a quantum sensor. There is simply an interference that appears and was not there before. We are the on...
September 07, 2025 at 06:45
Have you considered non-linear and retroactive causality?
September 07, 2025 at 03:41
For me, what is artificial is not another world, as if it were necessary to establish an ontological dualism between the natural and the artificial. I...
September 07, 2025 at 03:29
Consider the material from which the measuring device is made. Don't you think there is an ontological continuity between the device and the quantum p...
September 07, 2025 at 00:06
That is a strange statement you make. If it possesses some kind of mental property and it is ours, it is like simply saying that it does not possess i...
September 06, 2025 at 23:29
If you look closely at what I am trying to explain, I do not limit the idea of a sign to mechanism or physicalism. I only limit it to our relationship...
September 04, 2025 at 22:13
From the measuring device's side, yes, the signs are material and mechanical. And these signs have effects on us; they create information and knowledg...
September 04, 2025 at 16:52
Because You interact with the quantum world through the measuring device. But this device has no mental properties. So you have to adapt to the device...
September 04, 2025 at 16:38
I leave the mystery of consciousness intact. I simply speak of a necessary ontological continuity that is expressed through signs. Colours, sounds and...
September 04, 2025 at 16:20
To me, that sounds like the ghost in the machine. But if we look closely at how the measuring device works, that fantasy of the ghost in the machine d...
September 04, 2025 at 14:26
I wouldn't say they are unnatural. Rather, improbable. Something like a measuring device is not out of this world. That is, there is a reason why ther...
September 04, 2025 at 09:11
Once we naturalise the measuring device, it becomes something external to subjectivity. In this sense, measurement is a natural process like any other...
September 04, 2025 at 08:47
I believe that philosophy takes a stand against common sense. Philosophy must question our most deeply rooted certainties. In that sense, philosophy i...
September 04, 2025 at 08:04
I have always been somewhat perplexed by this. The Copenhagen interpretation revives a strong idealism like that of Berkeley. My position, as seen els...
September 04, 2025 at 07:25
Exactly.
September 04, 2025 at 06:55
According to my theory, there is no information in that list, as if something passes from your mind to symbols on a screen. As I have tried to explain...
September 04, 2025 at 06:52
Hi, The difference I explain between present, past and future is a difference in their constitutive roles. If the past and future are constituents of ...
September 03, 2025 at 23:58
From my point of view, the division between past, present, and future is like a painting where three colors are differentiated without there being a c...
August 30, 2025 at 04:58
Exactly. But the flow of time implies that the relation with the past and the future is not discontinuous. That is why our present is constantly relat...
August 29, 2025 at 16:26
In my opinion, in order to understand the other of consciousness, one must understand how consciousness is constituted at the most fundamental level. ...
August 29, 2025 at 05:28
From my point of view, what we call reality does not validate our theories. In science, we work with phenomena and references, not with the aim of ada...
August 29, 2025 at 00:02
This is wrong once you understand the physics of a USB flash drive. That is why I have specifically referred to the cells and the charge they hold by ...
April 19, 2025 at 21:31
I claim that nothing is stored. Actually what happens is that it is physically configured in loaded and unloaded cells. We can associate between charg...
April 19, 2025 at 14:40
In my opinion, we need to understand other aspect of consciousness. One must understand how consciousness is constituted at the most fundamental level...
April 19, 2025 at 13:58
The beauty of the object, however, is only given as an external property in relation to a subject that interprets the sculpture. In this case the info...
April 15, 2025 at 20:26
But if the shape of the sculpture is beautiful, was it beautiful before anyone looked at it?
April 15, 2025 at 13:16
In what sense?
April 15, 2025 at 12:54
Information is never in the first place. In the first place there are always signs arranged in one way or another. The difference is that there is an ...
April 15, 2025 at 12:44
I cannot call that information. Because in reality these rings are signs that refer precisely to the age of the tree. But this, the age of the tree, i...
April 14, 2025 at 20:49
In the case of the tree each ring is nothing more than a property of the tree. But in no case is it information because what you get from those rings ...
April 14, 2025 at 18:01
I would say: you have no possible information. There is no possible in-formation/interpretation process due to the absence of signs. Or the absence of...
April 14, 2025 at 14:46
The thing is that what you call information is only given in the result of a process of interpretation. That is why I cannot call memory information. ...
April 14, 2025 at 14:35
For me qualia is a configuration given an information process. For I understand information not as a substance but as the relationship. Information fo...
April 14, 2025 at 14:25
From my point of view the signs contained in the letter did not contain information about your home address. What actually happened is that some signs...
