They say Schopenhauer hated Hegel for some peculiar reasons. :)
March 21, 2025 at 13:39
There had been some mad and deranged moral systems in practice in some parts of the world in the past. Who knows how the future generations will judge...

Julian Young's book on Schopenhauer says Schopenhauer's Will was Kant's Thing-in-Itself (pp.54, Routledge, 2005, Schopenhauer, juilian young), and he ...

How does reason manifest in the world without reasoner or reasoning? Isn't some parts of the world unknown, irrational and mysterious? We don't exactl...
March 21, 2025 at 09:44
Isn't this an example where the false premises lead to wrong conclusions? Even if the argument appears valid in the form, it cannot reflect the true r...
March 20, 2025 at 10:00
The fact that we can perform actions driven by will means that will could combine with reasoning. When reason and will combine, they become motivated ...
March 20, 2025 at 09:22
It sounds like Will is some sort of agent or force with no principle on its operation. Is it something that is contrary to rationality or intelligence...

I recall reading that Schopenhauer criticised Hegel a lot. What was the main point of the criticism?
March 19, 2025 at 10:06
I never said I was better than anyone. Maybe that's what you feel for some strange reasons. My postings are not about claiming one is better than the ...
March 19, 2025 at 09:54
OK, good citing from Science of Logic. It is amazing to realise how Hegel's philosophy is largely based on the critique of Kant. That little edition o...
March 18, 2025 at 17:44
Doesn't Kant acknowledge that Metaphysics is not the same type of Science as the other Sciences? To start, Metaphysics doesn't use experiments, observ...
March 18, 2025 at 17:39
I only mentioned it only as a response. A regrettable point not initiated by me. However, I welcome all arguments purely on the philosophical point of...
March 18, 2025 at 12:40
It is not so much of our issue at this time of history whether metaphysics works as science or not. We know what science and metaphysics are, and thei...
March 18, 2025 at 12:23
As usual Janus posts are filled with scorn, anger and hatred towards others, rather than anything philosophical. I was only giving the best answer to ...

In Kainz (GWF Hegel), spirit is divided into, 1) Subjective 2) Objective 3) Absolute Which spirit has the esoteric aspects?
March 18, 2025 at 09:16
It was a natural inference on your question. Not a matter of effort.
March 18, 2025 at 01:33
It doesn't matter what you believe in my reading of CPR. It is not a philosophical issue. It is also not matter how many times one read CPR, if one do...
March 18, 2025 at 01:28
The point is that it is not a claim that can be supported by quoting a few recondite sentences in CPR. You must read the whole lot of authors involved...
March 18, 2025 at 00:22
I found often it is meaningless to cite CPR in few sentences where the writings are vague and ambiguous due to the old translations. It would be far b...
March 18, 2025 at 00:17
Yes, by all means present your own arguments citing all the authors and CPR and the other Kant's original texts too supporting your points, and we wil...
March 17, 2025 at 23:57
We have a part agreement here, which is a rare event. Actually it is difficult for me to imagine what colour blind would be like without being one mys...
March 17, 2025 at 23:50
If one says one can use words without knowing its meanings, then he is wrong, whoever he is. They must have been acquainted with something other than ...
March 17, 2025 at 23:43
You really need to read much more than just CPR to understand what Kant was up to at the time. Read Leibniz, Wolff, and Baumgarten, then Hume and Newt...
March 17, 2025 at 23:35
Isn't the whole content of CPR about experience, its objects, and how reasoning and judgements and concepts are related to them? Physics cannot deal w...
March 17, 2025 at 23:04
... and Red herring, red meat of course.
March 17, 2025 at 22:55
Wittgenstein was wrong. They could be using the word red metaphorically, rhetorically or idiomatically to mean something other than the colour red suc...
March 17, 2025 at 22:47
Not everyone agrees with Wittgenstein. If you don't know what red means, how could you use the word "red"? If you are a colour blind, how could you te...
March 17, 2025 at 22:27
Meaning of a word is in conceptual level. Using a word is in application level. They are different.
March 17, 2025 at 22:20
Didn't Kant say that Metaphysics is possible as Science as long as it deals with the objects in our experience? For instance we can think and discuss ...
March 17, 2025 at 22:19
The inference of the meanings are not the meanings themselves, are they?
March 17, 2025 at 22:15
Nonsense. Meanings can be learnt via inferences from observations on the real world and how others use the words in social situations.
March 17, 2025 at 21:41
Sure. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54393611704_054574f688_b.jpg
March 17, 2025 at 21:38
Kant was not interested in dualism or transcendental idealism. His main aim was to prove that metaphysics was possible as a science. In order to do th...
March 17, 2025 at 15:42
I try reading them both, but try to come to my own interpretation from my own reasoning which may or may not be correct. But if it is not resonating w...
March 17, 2025 at 14:20
That is just my view which might not be 100% correct. I invite counter arguments on it as always. :)
March 17, 2025 at 14:18
It seems daft view to say there are two worlds. I don't believe Kant would have said it. There were miriad of Kant commentators who were making unfoun...
March 17, 2025 at 14:05
It would help if you could define what dualism is in philosophical sense, and elaborate under what account / sense Kant was a dualist.
March 17, 2025 at 13:49
Are they direct claims of Kant? Or are they interpretations of the commentaries? Anyhow, they both sound unclear and ambiguous on their claims. Just b...
March 17, 2025 at 13:39
Why would it be the case? What was his exact words?
March 17, 2025 at 13:07
One cannot use words without knowing the meanings.
March 17, 2025 at 12:49
I am reading the thin book with tiny printing "Science of Logic" - it hurts eyes due to the small prints in the pages but makes the book cheap, thin a...
March 17, 2025 at 12:44
In that case, I am not sure if Hegel was understanding Kant properly. Because from my view, it is not clear that Kant's world view was dualism. What K...
March 17, 2025 at 11:50
The concept "spirit" is too abstract if not unclear and esoteric in Hegel. Does it contain both mind and body? Or is it some disembodied entity? Or is...
March 16, 2025 at 11:46
"self-moving soul, the principle of all natural and spiritual life" needs explanation for its meaning and ontological and metaphysical nature. Does Sc...
March 16, 2025 at 11:38
Would it be the criticism on Kant from Hegel's point of view?
March 16, 2025 at 11:34
Why does Hegel try to avoid contradiction and dualism? Are contradiction and dualism unacceptable faults in philosophy?
March 15, 2025 at 09:33
Yes, I agree. Detailed and accurate source info for the quotations and citations are important and critical in the postings. Without them, some reader...
March 15, 2025 at 09:28
What does "reality" mean in Hegel? Is the dualism for the world(s), or between body and mind like the Cartesians? Do we create the world? How do we do...
March 15, 2025 at 09:26
What about we as matter and bodies?
March 14, 2025 at 11:48
Rosen says it is impossible to understand Hegel without understanding Plato and Aristotle. Do you agree? Why is it the case?
