Those are the blind beliefs on the existence that have not been justified. For any beliefs if they were to be qualified as knowledge, then they need e...

Not sure what the IEP article was about, but it doesn't sound right. If A priori is just innate to you, and all different from person to person, then ...

How does he know for certain what he is conscious of is not an illusion? Does this mean, if something was conscious of itself, then it could be inside...

I don't find anything philosophical from your writings and messages, sorry. Please use the forum "Lounge" for all your postings which are not philosop...

This sounds a bit vague and needing some more discussion. OK, you perceive the colour by seeing the WL700nm, you claim. If that is the case, what is t...

How / Why do you justify your belief in something that you cannot prove it exists?
December 15, 2023 at 13:15
A priori means that it is universally true under all circumstances. If you say that you see the WL700nm, and you perceive the colour red. You claim th...

Wasn't Kant refuting the rationalists rather than idealism? If it were idealists, who were they? What is the proof of the legitimacy of the concept th...

I was not saying that you were doing that either. Well actually if you think this thread was all about solipsism, then you might have been :D, and as ...

Read some philosophy books, and learn instead of wasting time. :)
December 14, 2023 at 21:19
Yes, some do. I don't see a point doing it. The scepticism on the world was one of the historical philosophy themes. In the ancient times, they used t...

The way that you keep resorting to the lowly languages and mention of laughs, whenever you appear here just seems to indicate you might be looking for...
December 14, 2023 at 21:05
It is not ideal, not morally good or even practically possible to force down a value of someone to the others. No matter how right the value was, it w...

Philosophy is all about arguments. The conclusions are for each individuals.
December 14, 2023 at 20:43
I am mainly interested in seeing different arguments on the topic, and forwarding my counter arguments if and where necessary. The conclusion is up to...
December 14, 2023 at 20:40
Or if your definition of the world is, all that you perceive in your daily life, then you are seeing the whole world. But then a question arises, is y...
December 14, 2023 at 20:39
You need your argument for the statement. Without the argument, it would be just a passing suggestion. I cannot agree or disagree with your point with...
December 14, 2023 at 20:36
Well, whenever you return here, all you ever keep shouting is that whatever you read is fool and dimwit. How could anyone help you? :lol:
December 14, 2023 at 20:32
Sorry cannot locate the link or ref. for now. Will look for it and update when time allows. :)

Space as well. It is called "Spatio-Temporal Transcendental Deduction".

Any popular media based information will be flatly rejected as propaganda in all philosophical discussions unless proved and verified otherwise. :) Wh...

There must be more than just one way to interpret Kant, because it is now 2023, not 1781. Tendency of denying the objectivity on the obvious points ca...
December 14, 2023 at 16:16
If we define the world as the totality of the whole universe, then what we have been seeing was tiny particle amount of the world. In that scenario, a...
December 14, 2023 at 16:11
Under that system, one would be very prone to fall into prejudice and illusions instead of knowledge. There would be little point staring at the threa...
December 14, 2023 at 15:56
Nothing is presupposed in nature and human intellect. That is why we need observation, reasoning and logic in coming to knowledge. When you see the da...
December 14, 2023 at 15:22
Until one reads the statement with the analytic content in full, nothing is presupposed. The statement can be anything until it ends with ".". Even af...

Kant had low opinion on Logic, and his view on Logic is abnormally and impractically narrow.
December 14, 2023 at 14:03
Was giving an example from general Logic point of view (not related to the quotes).
December 14, 2023 at 14:01
But if we look at an example, any analytic concept such as a bachelor, it has definition and logic all in the concept i.e. a bachelor is an unmarried ...

Great point. :up: In the past I have been stating this point to @Janus and @Mww in some previous threads. They sounded to have read somewhere about th...

To immaterial idealists, the world is just perception. When they are not perceiving the world, they don't believe it exists. But to the realists, they...
December 14, 2023 at 10:14
To a stupid, everything sounds and looks like stupid. You don't seem to have understood the question. Do you believe in absolute accuracy on everythin...
December 14, 2023 at 09:54
Why do you believe in the existence of the world, when you are not perceiving it? Do you have logical explanations for your belief?

"All I know is I know nothing." - Socrates That is my 1st philosophical principle. :nerd:
December 14, 2023 at 00:29
You are well ahead of me. I have gone back to the very beginning and starting over from the Preface.
December 14, 2023 at 00:23
Why? Under what ground?
December 14, 2023 at 00:19
What could certain physiology mean? "In more recent times, it has seemed as if an end might be put to all these controversies and the claims of metaph...

December 13, 2023 at 15:04
Kant thought that just empirical knowledge for the objective sciences were not enough to be the source of infallible knowledge. The A priori elements ...
December 12, 2023 at 18:08
We were quoting the same verse. I am not sure "impure" would be the right term. He has given out the official term for it i.e. "synthetic a priori" kn...
December 12, 2023 at 18:00
This is where Kant seems to be showing his inconsistency in CPR. If you think about it, you only observe the objects and the changed objects in empiri...
December 12, 2023 at 17:53
Kant mainly uses a priori to mean pure in CPR. It has nothing to do with pure or impure. It is a priori synthetic proposition. Not sure if pure / impu...
December 12, 2023 at 15:07
Pure in CPR means "a priori". A tree is standing in the space and on the ground. For you to perceive the tree, the physical space must allow the parti...

JMD Meiklejohn version CPR is only 500 pages long (the 2nd edition only). All the other versions are 700 - 800 pages because they combined the 1st and...
December 12, 2023 at 12:13
Yes, that was my point all the way along. Glad to see some sort of agreement. Well almost.
December 12, 2023 at 12:11
Hence, we try to seek justification on our beliefs and perception. But point here is, can belief be justified properly? Belief is a psychological stat...

But when one believes in the existence of the world, but says there is no justified belief in the world when not perceiving it. What would you class t...
