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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Any popular media based information will be flatly rejected as propaganda in all philosophical discussions unless proved and verified otherwise. :) Wh...
I read the scientists conducting the remote experiments on time and space in different locations on the earth based on TI of CPR. It wouldn't be imagi...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
I don't subscribe to the most of Wiki info. In the past any tom dick and harry used to go to Wiki and populate the contents with whatever contents the...
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...
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...
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...
Kant thought that just empirical knowledge for the objective sciences were not enough to be the source of infallible knowledge. The A priori elements ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
If you accept, space is invisible emptiness which contains all the objects in universe, then you are seeing it, when you don't. Sense perceives invisi...
