I think my earlier post you were replying to it is best seen in conjunction with the last post. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/7802...
It’s a tangled knot for sure. Will is the animal desiring objects which are simply representational versions of Will trying to obtain goals that it ca...
Certainly, god has no place in Schops metaphysics. Will is blind striving. But is it? Let me examine… Schop posits Forms as immediate objects of the w...
Not sure why Schopenhauer would be considered off here for positing the subject-object. The object is intrinsically tied to a subject. The object qua ...
Depends what that really means. Does self-interest have to incorporate simply monetary gain? Keeping one's dignity can be in one's self-interest, perh...
It isn't defined because it is gotten at indirect means. He can only gather that it strives, and thus there needs to be a playground for striving to t...
The main question that is hard to answer with Schopenhauer, is how it is that there are objects when there is only Will. What is objectification of Wi...
This is obfuscating what's going on. The language is public, but the experience is private. If you are making some argument that subjectivity is only ...
Not sure what to think of Marxism, because it relies so heavily on the utopian dream being automated so we can pursue more meaningful things. But that...
It's the structure that makes us cattle. But it's a double-bind, as the structure creates the goods and services you so love (like electricity, plasti...
To expand on this, I think it's more definitive death blow was the growing Analytic Philosophy of Frege, Russell, and positivists. Throughly atomizing...
Will give longer response, but I like to think of Schop as a sort of Kantian Neo-Platonist. Will is the Unified One, but somehow it immediately has an...
:100: :up: I think it's even more radical than that that has to happen. You are an old socialist, so maybe this might appeal to your sense of what cou...
To be fair, in many places, no education is taking place. But fair enough- in upper-middle class areas, this may be true enough about emphasis on tech...
About as inspiring as a manager giving an ice cream social. If the PWE was the start, no wonder we didn't get much better! Management takes the role o...
@"BC" @"Wayfarer" @"unenlightened" @"Agent Smith" @"L'éléphant" Let me reframe this. I really mean to get at, that in our daily lives, there seems to ...
Clearly, that was my interpretation, but I am kind of sympathetic to Schopenhauer's take which is that religion is simply a vessel for deeper truths. ...
Does practical = better? The way you phrase "fun way" "lazy", and "appalling track record".. Let me give you a scenario.. What if everyday everybody d...
Not how I'm defining it no. Early Modern, sure in certain contexts that phrase would be appropriate. I'll say, after the advent of the "second" indust...
Indeed he did. I'm not claiming that these are mutually exclusive, nor that a niche group of people think of speculative things. Nor is Spinoza modern...
I changed the OP. I think you're right and I don't want that to be the focus (then and now). Rather, simply that we focus on the minutia-mongering mor...
Well, I’m not referring to determinism. I’m referring to literally how our scoop-economic cultural system is setup and how it is near impossible to wo...
I actually agree here about objectivity to an extent. I understand the mindset of self-help is to look within for coping better with the external rest...
@"Baden" The problem too is you probably had something specific happen and rightly, you don’t go into detail, thus any advice is also going to be larg...
It’s not just consumer society, but any consumption of advanced technology and workers working for owners/boards with high powered tech and science, i...
The minute you are summoned by the people with power and money, that fantasy goes away. Agency is had by those that have the knowledge and power is ha...
Actually, it's more a simple solution and elegant. Don't create the burdens to overcome in the first place. Keep it simple. But I was discussing earli...
Sort of, if you want to think of it that way.. I think our language in "consequential" versus "deontological" can be a bit tricky.. Clearly, "not lyin...
It is a violation to cause unnecessary suffering onto someone. It would be using them, even for good intentions. Prior to birth, one can prevent unnec...
Yes, I've made the case.. See backlog of hundreds of posts relating to not forcing unnecessary suffering absolutely (as is the case prior to someone's...
