But wouldn't that be an anthropocentric position? Hume tells us that there are habits and regularities, but he does not tell us the nature of those. T...
In Hume, the regularity of events is a given, and has a strong psychological foundation. Hence, it is said that Hume is doing psychology. However, tha...
This does not mean that symmetry breaks are acausal; symmetry breaks belong to an ontological continuum in which the slightest variation in the enviro...
This is related to this: It is against to the thesis that matter is a passive receptacle for external and transcendent forms (first cause), while symm...
My problem with the concept of emergence is that it does not seem to be an explanatory concept that provides us with a mechanism for moving from one l...
Yes, but choose one of them and explain your answer. I've seen that you like Wittgenstein. So what would Wittgenstein's response to Hume's scepticism ...
No. But is an interesting path to follow. My intention is to see how different positions respond to Hume's scepticism. That's very interesting. But yo...
Following Kant the transcendental subject, through categories (pure concepts of understanding) and their schematism, is the one who imposes the rule o...
Allow me to disagree somewhat. Sociologism in scientific theory starts from the abstraction of theories from their logical, technological, historical,...
I can give an approximation from my point of view as follows: Anticipation takes the form of a future that becomes present and yet is not confused wit...
But that phenomenon is instantaneous. It does not take the form of a process or a possible tendencie. I do not know if it is an appropriate example of...
I prefer the term ' tendencies' to 'teleology'. Tendencies are something that are created during the development of a process. Whereas teleology is th...
I have no problem with the idea of constraint as long as we eliminate teleology. There is something with a certain regularity and stability, and sudde...
I believe that the idea of constraint is fundamentally incorrect, as it adds a dimension of possibility to reality that I consider unnecessary. We can...
For Hume, imagination is the faculty of the mind that has the ability to associate or connect ideas with each other. Unlike memory (which only preserv...
That is the pragmatic position. The world seems to be ordinary, and we act accordingly. But a philosopher pauses and asks about rational truth. Pausin...
It is surprising to me that we can survive with these kinds of beliefs that are imposed on us most of the time. Of course, this is assuming that truth...
It has nothing to do with that. In fact, what I am talking about hardly has anything to do with the issue of causality. It is simply to express the in...
I have taken a look at it and I do not see the connection with what I have said. Probability imitates reality through similarity and subsumes it into ...
Something that interests me greatly is the singularity of the effect that cannot be reduced. Its irreducible novelty with respect to regularity (same ...
For me, reducing philosophy to the "why" is a simplification. But there is something interesting implicit in what you have said. To say why the "why" ...
For me, philosophy consists of discovering problems. A problem is discovered in the unthought-of relationships between objects, situations, beliefs, s...
It is difficult to answer that question. We would have to define what a thought is. In my view, a thought is a relationship with an idea where the ide...
Now think about it the other way : I take a walk in the woods. Does that affect, say, the orbit of Jupiter? Let's think about one of the countless hum...
No. I mean, is the discontinuity in the chain of causality something that we simply draw subjectively so that we do not have to go to infinity, or is ...
The question is: when we separate the events in question from their surrounding environment, is it simply an epistemic construct or is there really an...
I do not deny that this is related. But I wonder: how far should we extend our view in casual relationships? If it is true that the movement of the st...
Is everything causally connected to everything else? If I throw a ball from the fifth floor, I know that the cause of the ball falling is because I th...
A classic way is to play with the object by adding or removing properties until you find the essence of the object. Like a triangle: by removing or ad...
The world perceived by a mind has an external cause that may be of a different nature from the mind (classical dualism). The mind-created world, as I ...
It is difficult to think about what an idea is made of. According to Platonic tradition, an idea is a sui generis and eternal element, but external to...
If you are an objective idealist like Plato, ideas are something external to the subject, and thought simply access to these ideas. From my point of v...
That's not a good answer. It doesn't address the issue of decomposition or methodology. A good answer would be: We can actually see neural processes f...
"So we have to differentiate between information and experience (Mary's room then). Because you're not seeing the experience, but rather a reconstruct...
Exactly. But behaviours and words can be repeated by a robot without consciousness. In that sense, all we can know is that a robot acts AS IF it were ...
To avoid misunderstandings, what do you think about the idea of finding the "living experience" in the brain? The fact that you can transfer neural in...
Ok. So we have to differentiate between information and experience (Mary's room then). Because you're not seeing the experience, but rather a reconstr...
The answer is no. What I "observe" is a recreation of images on a device other than the brain, but your are not looking the brain and finding those im...
I disagree. An abstraction leaves us with something general and something specific. And their relationship is one of similarity. I consider, on the ot...
If so, then I do not understand what the concept of emergency introduces that helps us understand the phenomenon of experience. It follows from our me...
But how? An explanation is needed that can account for the phenomena we call mental or conscious. For example, I see a glass of water. What is the neu...
There seems to be a problem here: if the Idea arises directly from experience, it requires a kind of intuition of something objective (intellectual in...
Thought is an activity of the subject. Ideas are those that transcend it. There is a virtual field of ideas that exceeds the subject, allowing the sub...
Following Deleuze, I believe that an idea is an objective problematic field accessed by the subject. It is not an answer to a problem. It is not a con...
That depends on what we mean by "communicate". I claim that this communication consists solely of provoking significant effects from one person to ano...
The measuring device and that which is measured enter into a teleological operational dynamic. Here, it is the act of measuring. That is why neither c...
Yes, think about the translation of a philosophical work from one language to another. The signifiers are different, but the idea can be ''transmitted...
