As you may have noticed I talk about something that works rather than something being true and false. In any example you give we can make the conversi...

It is like when the phenomenon of translation occurs. It simply works and does its job here the transcription is given by the relationship between two...

When we think of imprecision we still have the idea of knowledge as a representation of reality, that is to say, as similarity. But I take a different...
March 25, 2025 at 06:29
This is precisely the idea that I criticize. If we abandon the idea that we are trying to represent reality faithfully, the matter becomes something v...
March 22, 2025 at 23:51
The point is that truth as representation or correspondence has many failures to keep pace with reality. In any case we are still restricted to the su...

Scientific work also works with possibilities, but the scientist believes that what is represented in the imagination is going to happen. This implies...

I think you have missed my point. If you tell me that there is a deterministic system that will end up in X state you are making a prediction. But if ...

The existence of possibilities is that which follows from the fact that any course of action is not given in advance. That is, that in a sense the wor...

They are simply words that remind us that there is no ultimate metalanguage that serves to describe language. It is the same with the word "metaphor"....

But not simply in our minds. but, as it were, ideas extend their existence beyond the mind, reaching the minds of other people, books, recordings, hie...

The idea of sign to which I refer is that of "being in the place of something else ready to be interpreted by a context". So you can understand ideas ...

When I say that ideas are material, I do not mean that they are physical, but a third option between the mental and the physical that respects the ide...

Ideas unfold in the world. When we think of an idea transmitted by language for example. Since there is a relation to signifiers the idea itself becom...

There is an interesting interpretation based on the temporality in which subjectivity unfolds. It refers to the absolute novelty of the future now tha...

But it has intentional sense. That's my point. And therefore it is related to the expressiveness of language. The pure self as an object for conscious...
February 25, 2025 at 18:23
No. It is related to the sense of expression. "I am" has meaning beyond whether I am alive or not, but no longer because it is said in the epoche but ...
February 25, 2025 at 17:50
It is related to the sphere of expressivity of sense or meaning where the pure self of the transcendental reduction shows itself self-evident to consc...
February 25, 2025 at 00:37
You are forgetting that there is a passage from the naturalized ego to the transcendental ego. Therefore, the two cannot be confused. The transcendent...
February 24, 2025 at 16:33
I am speaking "in fact". By bracketing the world I include my worldly self. That is why in the epoche it is said that the "I am" has full evidence. Wh...
February 24, 2025 at 08:05
The article barely discusses eidetic intuition and original evidence (in the epoche) and Husserl's intuitionism in general. What I am referring to is ...
February 24, 2025 at 07:24
For me, Husserl's Cartesian enclosure limits his philosophy. His aspiration was to objectivity and ideality, but then why shut himself up in subjectiv...
February 24, 2025 at 02:38
No problema.
February 23, 2025 at 02:32
For Husserl the objectivity of science is ensured by ideality as a repetition that transcends singular experience and can be repeated in different sub...
February 23, 2025 at 02:28
I have always wondered why Husserl still maintains the idea of a self, ego, (in your case subjectivity) in this domain of the transcendental. Especial...
February 22, 2025 at 00:16
It is difficult for me to understand this. Isn't it some kind of a big mind or trascendental ego? By the way, The essential structures of a transcende...

How does it not? When two persons perform the same proof of the theorem both are neutralized and it can no longer be said that they are the raison d'ê...
February 21, 2025 at 02:08
Subjectivity is never outside science. It is always in its genesis. What happens is that subjectivity is neutralized by phenomena such as repetition. ...

I think we agree on this, given the structural closure of causality. That is what I have referred to with these two restrictions: 1. Ex nihilo nihil f...
February 19, 2025 at 22:50
I claim there cannot be only one thing, in a causal context. Ex nihilo nihil fit. Causality presuposses relations n+1, If we want to maintain a princi...
February 19, 2025 at 21:45
Why not say the same about the past? Something proper to the past is that it was once present. In that sense there is a need for the past in order to ...
February 19, 2025 at 01:40
If it is a causal chain we cannot assume that it is one thing that existed alone and suddenly gave birth to a second thing. The causal relation as a r...

About the scope of composition I have always wondered if when we reach the limit of composition we come to find something very different from composit...
February 19, 2025 at 00:19
OK. But then you agree as would Kant that perception is given in the present. And we agree that you have to explain the prensent rationally in some wa...

Well, tell me if you want or don't want to have a debate with me.

You should if you want to have a debate with me according to your conditions.

OK. Could you help me to correct it and make it grammatical.

So it does not refute it. Right?

How that refutes what I just argued?

Don't you think that if we had this faculty it would not be necessary to make theories about reality? I mean, any theory would be true insofar as real...

But what about the theory? Isn't it the theory which is true?

OK but what is truth?
February 16, 2025 at 20:20
I am not talking about perception, I am talking about experience. That is to say, when you and I experience something we do not see a perception witho...
February 16, 2025 at 15:45
Are you aware that the experience is given in the present?
February 16, 2025 at 02:10
Let me get this straight: you're saying that people with special abilities can experience something like this?
February 16, 2025 at 01:27
I think you are confused. You say that the events of these worlds happen in the present and then you say that they don't happen in the present. I'm re...
February 16, 2025 at 01:12
So we are still in the three dimensions of time. You haven't actually added any. You have added worlds but not dimensions of time, right?
February 16, 2025 at 01:04
OK. But do any of those times have a direct relation to the present that you and I live in? I mean, of the explanatory kind and with truths that actua...
