My Hegel books. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54384982002_68e2dea753_c.jpg

Ok, good idea. Will update soon.

I have Hegel's Philosophy of Religion, Phenomenology of Spirit and some other books too. I need to get back to reading them. I did read a couple of in...

I feel Hegel is an important and significant philosopher, and was planning to read his original texts sometime. His metaphysics, and philosophy of rel...

In Logic Lecture book, it says logic is derived from reason. and is is a doctrine, it provides rules / it is a demonstrated theory. It contains the gr...

I did read some commentary books on Hegel. I did not read any of his original works. Cool. You must be very much familiar with Hegel's system. :up:

Ok, fair enough. I was wondering if reason and logic are the same or separate faculties in Kant. If they are the separate faculties, then they might c...

Believing in certainty and high possibility would be trust. Isn't believing in impossibility faith?

Where is the place for the religious belief or faith in life after death?

Purpose for what? Isn't purpose from your psychology? Under what evidence is it the case? Gadamer was into Hegel stuff for mainly on hermeneutics, but...

Your writings are ambiguous in what it is trying to say. My point was clear. If reason is based on logic, then they are likely to conflict on their ju...

When there are the official definition of formal logic, describing logic in commonly and loosely was a bit odd. We do use symbols extensively in all s...

What do you mean by a paralogical bi-reality? Could you elaborate on that please? We are not just matter. Isn't extended or extension a property of ma...

Great summary :up: however a few points ... Formal logic means the type of logic which uses symbols and formal languages for analysing the statements ...

Cartesian idea of body and soul is rejected by many contemporaries as an outdated and invalid theory for the fact, that body and mind dualism cannot b...

Kant lived in the earlier times than Hegel. How could Kant have had been a Hegelian? Could Plato have had been Heideggerian? :D

For Hegel contradiction is the essential element in the changes and progress of the world. Kant's logic was not formal logic. It was transcendental lo...

Memories seem to play a part in dreams, but they are not exactly correct memories of the past. You might just see something you have had experience wi...

Ok, good point. Another reason that it is not causal reaction is that, when you say X is caused by Y. Y must cause on all instances of X i.e. if the d...

Isn't it just contingent or random events or responses? To say X is caused by Y, Y must be possible to repeat for more observations to see if X will h...

Are you not confounding knowledge about an objective reality with mind-independent world here?

There seem to be two options. 1) Mind-independent world doesn't exist. It is a figment of our imagination like flying horse or golden mountain or merm...

Could you describe what mind-independent world could be?

X is a free variable. It can take any value in it. X could have been a statue of Pegasus for its original value. Your inability to understand even wha...

They are subjective mental states, nothing to do with knowledge. If you have knowledge of something, then you must be able to verify, demonstrate and ...

When there are discrepancies in the claims of knowledge on the same situation or object between different folks, you always have chance to carry out t...

But if X was originally a statue of X, then a statue of X is X. No? The concept of 14 is 14.

You need to check and find out what the red coloured object is you are seeing. Just claiming you are seeing red coloured object doesn't mean much and ...

You need to check if you were wearing red coloured eye glasses, or perhaps you might have developed problems with your sights? Or indeed there is an o...

What was his view on it?

If you think, imagine, remember or believe in the existence of the large desk, then it is idea of the desk in your mind. If you stand in front of the ...

I knew what you meant. No misunderstanding there at all. At the point where experience is limited, inference takes place.

You seem to have misunderstood the inference as a declaration, hence pointed it out.

No. It is not a declaration. It is only an inference from what we see from the dead, and we also reason and infer the same situation to the ultimate f...

There is no such thing as eternal oblivion. Even when you fall asleep at night, you don't notice time while you were sleeping. You close and open the ...

For empirical cases like seeing colour red, you must go out and investigate further and verify for the truth, if needed. Seeing the colour red is just...

Your seeing colour red is not knowledge. You are just making a statement on your seeing colour red, and that is all. That colour red could be anything...

Perception cannot give us knowledge. It can only present with what is perceived in the form of raw data i.e. shapes, colours, sounds, words and motion...

Does it mean that Indirect Realist can only have beliefs? No knowledge at all? And likewise, Direct Relists can only have knowledge? No beliefs at all...

1) What is the significance of direct and indirect knowledge? 2) Indirect or direct on relation to what? 3) What are the differences in direct and ind...

Thanks for the clarification. That sounds confusing. Is it not the other way around? Are you sure you haven't put them wrong way around in the definit...

You seem to be confusing the point that I was trying to point out the fact that transcendental idealism has problem of having dualistic view of the wo...

An object can be both mental and physical. If you imagined a winged horse, that winged horse is your mental object. If you saw one made of physical ma...

Does it mean you are oblivious, even if you will not know you are oblivious?

So Pegasus is a word without its object? Are there objects without their words / names?

When there is no mind to perceive, is eternal oblivion possible?

Yes, I agree that our ideas can be passed onto other minds in forms of materialised media, books, words, music, arts etc. And when those materialised ...

:up: How can a mythical creature be real? Mythical already implies not real.

It was not transcendental idealism I was trying to describe. It was ideal realism I was trying to describe. So what is your account of non-novice vers...

Coherence comes from your reasoning, not from perception. You must ask yourself why your reasoning cannot understand your own perception. Idealism is ...
