I think that the distinction between appearances and thing itself doesn't apply to them? Is the noumenon somehow beyond this distinction? Then they wo...

Acc. to Kant we can't have experience about ideas like "society", "freedom" etc. We can think these ideas but we don't have knowledge about them. We h...

Kant is interested in objective knowledge. To what extent is our daily existence explicitly governed by scientific laws? Or by mathematical physics. F...

Yes, feelings are obviously an important subject. Then there is the distinction between needs or desires and feelings? Is hunger a feeling? If I desir...

Nietzsche had his own theories how the world functions. I think his extremely cynical views represent biologism. Or that the world becomes "fatally" o...

Merleau-Ponty's aim is of course to draw phenomenology closer to history and culture rather than neurophysiology. That is, when one endeavors to relat...

Yes, somewhere Husserl speaks about 'parallelity' of these. He is obviously striving for a true identity. Adequate relation between meanings and objec...

The 'original' Husserlian phenomenology in fact was much concerned with language. Husserl's Logical Investigations was mostly about the difference bet...

:up: Excellent! Lots of valuable ideas.

Hmmm... (I guess I should reread The Origins of Geometry.)

Heidegger made the fatal mistake, which Spengler ultimately avoided, to jump from the radical-conservative standpoint into the Nazi camp. Result was t...

Here is the table of contents of Being and Time. One gets a good overview from it. In Heidegger's (or Kant's, Hegel's etc) case one has to know the "b...

"Temporality and historicality" is an important section in B&T. It is the (authentic) historicality that transcends the banality of everydayness. It i...

The being of Dasein or human existence is care. Heidegger's definition of care: "to be already ahead oneself in (the world) as Being-alongside (the en...

Consciousness or subjective experience is a differentiated experience. In its modes of acts it is perceiving, willing, wishing etc. All these have the...

I am rather referring to something that is "learnable", to something that we can possibly identify with or make our "own". This means that we in a sen...

Memory is an interesting phenomenon. I was referring to something that could be called an objective memory or external memory. This consists in variou...

Yes, but we can't explain the continuity with the mechanism of our personal memory alone (if at all). We move or act in various already as coherent un...

How Heidegger came to the idea of "persisting presence"?? Here is my interpretation (which applies more to earlier Heidegger): Aristotle used "ousia" ...

Quite so, but I got the impression that your thoughts represented something else than this Husserlian-Jamesian view. You are probably specifically emp...

How about the continuity of our experience? You can't be conscious of change or novelty if you don't have a "feel" of sameness in the experience. If t...

Heidegger is definitely a post-Hegelian philosopher. He basically agrees with Husserl that Hegel represents constructive metaphysics in a bad sense. H...

Husserlian strive for intuiting the subject matter itself behind or under the existing conventional disourse is strong influence here.

The basic idea is actually almost directly from Dilthey, which you already mentioned, and for whom the "life" was a central concept as the ultimate "t...

Heidegger has to have Nietzsche's metaphysics (or the latest development of metaphysics) here in mind, he never referred to Aristotle or Hegel as nihi...

Heidegger of BT agreed with Kant that we can't avoid metaphysics. Human beings or their thinking/world view is inescapably metaphysical. What is requi...

I'll add to that: Heidegger's philosophy is meta-metaphysics or he questions what is metaphysics in itself? General metaphysics is ontology i.e. it tr...

Yes, it has obviously this connotation but it means also the "subject" of the language or the everyday understanding as such. Orienting towards langua...

So far I've have found from the B&T only one problematic passage with regard to the future events: "But if fateful Dasein, as Being-in-the-world, exis...

Richard Hönigswald (18 July 1875 in Magyar-Óvár in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (the present Mosonmagyaróvár in Hungary) – 11 June 1947 in New Haven, C...

Interesting note from Kant about "trichotomies": "That my divisions* in pure philosophy almost always turn out tripartite has aroused suspicion. Yet t...

Here direct quotations: "VI. Logic Defined & Divided § 79 In point of form Logical doctrine has three sides: the Abstract side, or that of understandi...

Here is an interesting version of the article Differance. Its first five paragraphs (which contain a dense presentation of that notion) are not includ...

Materiality is true only via spirit or mediation or idea (acc. to Hegel).

How about this one: "Third Subdivision: The Notion C. The Idea § 213 The Idea is truth in itself and for itself — the absolute unity of the notion and...

How wonderful the nature is! Full of complicated geometrical figures!

But you can look at them only through the pure intuition!

How these forms are observed to exist?

There are "pure" or ideal triangles in nature (as sensible matter)??

:up:

From the Introduction to the CPR: "V. In all Theoretical Sciences of Reason, Synthetical Judgements “a priori” are contained as Principles. 1. Mathema...

A good point.

I'd guess that his point was to "modernize" the philosophy. To make it compatible with the modern scientific world view.

I could imagine that Kant's philosophy could make stupid people at least a little bit smarter.

:up: I think there is good ideas in his philosophy. His basic natural scientific standpoint is not mine though.

In theoretical philosophy, a Kantian maintains a view that there is necessary apriori structures of thought or understanding which order or form our e...

So Derrida after all believes somehow in "meaning-to-say"? Interesting. But in what sense Derrida's texts make sense? (I , for my part, have had many ...

This is an interesting distinction. Bound idealities are context differentiated meanings and which persists as long as the context persists? Last few ...

Fixed i.e. reliable definitions are needed as parts when constructing reliable or persisting machines. Heidegger's discourse is not a machine. :wink:

For Heidegger there is no perception of the corporeal things at all? Everything is "had" as significations in circumspection (Umsicht). Dasein is in r...
