No, unless he was taught by non-blind teacher.

It was a logical conclusion from the premises.

So, it is a linguistic illusion. Languages are neither logical, nor rational of course.

OK, I am not denying, but trying clarify your points. It is interesting to see different points from the traditional commentary book opinions. So, it ...

Yeah, most people think that way, but I feel that you don't even think of 5+7 until your eyes see the numbers on the screen or paper, or ears hear the...

Thanks, yes no problem. I have picked up a few different languages in the schools when my father worked in different countries such as Japanese, Indon...

Ok, fair enough. Will think on it, and get back to you if there are any points to add or ask. Thanks. :cool: :up:

Yes, we seem to agree at this point. :cool: :up:

Yes, this seems what Kant had been trying to say in CPR.

But doesn't math still need empirical sensibility to work? The need work together to produce knowledge i.e. synthetic apriori. e.g. 5+7=12, "5+7" itse...

Doesn't it imply that then you don't know what the world is? How could you logically say "the world exist." when you don't know what it is? But before...

I have not come across any of Kant commentary books describing Kant as a solipsist. But from my own view he was anything but a solipsist. What is the ...

I meant in terms of popularity ( number of the speakers in the world) and the availability and price of the books on the subject. For accuracy, you ar...

I am quoting your message again where you made the claim. I have been asking you to clarify and explain what that meant. :nerd: :pray:

Did you not claim that Noumenon is important with the concept of 'existing' in your previous messages? I did a few quotes from your message for that. ...

Can we know something without experience? What was his verdict?

Was Kant a solipsists? No. he said the world is not a concept. The world is a subject of cosmology i.e. physics, and a part of the universe. So he was...

But in that case, are you not committing yourself into the dark chamber of solipsism? If you say, the world is not an object, but a concept, and the p...

Could you tell us what is your criterion for being conscious and unconscious? What do you mean by you are conscious? and unconscious? Isn't the point ...

:ok:

I stated this in the previous messages to Mww, but will say again. Kant says that the world is not a legitimate object of perception, because the tota...

So, it sounds like you have asked something that you have no idea what you were asking for. If you read the OP, and some discussions in the thread, I ...

Doubting is not thoughtless action. Doubting starts with observation and investigation, then reasoning, and then conclusion for either action or non-a...

If we accept the definition that every knowledge is justified belief, then scepticism is a methodology to obtain the justifications. If one rejects sc...

As promised I thought over your points on the belief in the existence of the brain compared to a cup. Brain is a biological organ, just like the other...

:up: :cool: Thanks :) I was reading Philosophy with German initially, but then I realised English is better language in that there are more translated...

It was "you" who raised the question with the claim that the point of Noumenon is very important to the use of the term 'existing'. So I have a justif...

Nietzsche is an interesting thinker and a great writer for sure. If you open a new thread for Nietzsche reading group, or any Nietzschean topics you f...

BoT was about the Greek arts. The Apollonian and Dionysian elements in the ancient Greek arts analysed in critical methodology, I recall.

What does Nietzsche say about "the world"? What are his concepts for "the world", and "existence"? Any definitions or comments from him on that? Or in...

The sour grapes needs some logic and reason to tell the world that it tastes nice and worthwhile eaten. The world will not accept the sour grapes' poi...

I never said it was hard to understand. I meant that it read like Literature (like a Shakespear or Stephen King), rather than Hume or Kant.

She forgot to tell him that the binman has taken away the rusty barbecue rack?

If I were a blind, then I would try to see the light. Blind sounds boring, bland and pointless, and blind. According to Plato, maybe we are all blind,...

That is a wrong assumption. I did read "The Birth of Tragedy", and some other books. I felt they are more literature than philosophy, so packed them i...

Blind faith is a badly worded concept unfortunately. It sounds anti reason and intelligence and anti understanding which is against the reason, logic ...

I haven't read Nietzsche for many years, so I would find him alien even to read the titles of his books these days. Nietzsche was a good writer, but h...

hmmm I am not sure what freewill of Nietzsche has got to do with what we were talking about. I would have been lost for the relevance rather than tran...

It seems to me that you are asserting that your "I" is coming from "It", and it is not from your "thought", but from the "certain blind faith." Isn't ...

I don't have a primary language as such because I do speak a several different languages, and English is just one of them. Are you sure you have writt...

Who or what makes the certain blind faith that thought wishes to think, but not "you"?

It takes at least 100 years for the schools of philosophy to be formally understood and accepted as the true philosophy. The new age trends keep get f...

If one is into blind faith for something, then there is no point in trying to persuade him to be analytic, rational and objective, because it is not g...

Just to explain how our belief works and arises by nature. OK, you can believe in something without reason or ground, but we call it "blind faith", wh...

:up: :100:

This is a real life example on why I don't believe in the existence of the rusty barbecue rack which has been sitting in the corner of the garden for ...

Elon Musk looks he will make a good presidency. He should pack in all the rockets, electric car and twitter X business crap, and run for the next pres...

What Hume meant by that would be, do that to the silly comments and words. :nerd:

It sounds a signifikant admission. :) Yeah, I was wondering, if the world is not an object, but just a mere concept, then could it be A priori? Becaus...

You claimed that the point of Noumenon is very important to the use of the term "existing". I think this is a substantial and interesting statement. I...
