I agree with all this, and I do not see how the quote and your commentary contradict with what I wrote about “inside” and “outside.” I do not think th...

Thank you for your advice! Definitely, Marleau-Pontu is a great thinker. Yet, I am not sure that his phenomenology can be applied to some things that ...

I could not open this link. A few things remain unclear in this model. First, its explanatory power is not evident: can it be applied to explain the k...

I agree with all this, I just want to add to your definition of self and consciousness, that our bodies and unconscious processes are far more complic...

I am not sure if the whole notion of the authentic temporality presupposes a kind of transcendentalism. Could you clarify it?

This is a perfectly logical analysis; nevertheless, I entirely disagree! Logical analysis of time lays out the past, the present, and the future at th...

Yes, nevertheless it is fundamental that the subjective time occurs in mind. . During our discussion, I tried to lay out the philosophy of time, based...

I agree with you. I understand your “continuity and inertia” fas the fundamental power of the transcendental Past over our way of being and thought. T...

You state this truth as an evident and common knowledge! It reminds me what St. Augustine wrote: “What, then, is time? If no one asks of me, I know; i...

I would like to get back to this post. It is a perfect question. Who or what is the agent of repetition of a thought in consciousness? Am I the agent,...

I’d like to refute your point by using your own example. If all my past experiences are present in my current “content”, doesn’t it mean that I am sti...

How would you show that there is a non-ideal instance in the mind,?

If the first passive synthesis constitute “the living present of now,” and the fundamental property of this particular present time is to pass, to bec...

This synthesis is passive because it is not carried out by the mind, but occurs in mind, which contemplates, prior to all memory and all reflection. I...

I think that our disagreement is caused by different applications and meanings of the terms of “flow,” and “the living present.” Your comprehension of...

The source of the confusion in different comprehensions of time is the systematic substitution for differently experienced times, the absence of the r...

"what is time? Who can easily and briefly explain it? Who even in thought can comprehend it, even to the pronouncing of a word concerning it? But what...

So, what is your understanding of “time itself”? Do you believe that there has been the real, true time so that different models and theories can no m...

Does it mean that while being on this forum, and so living "in the cyber-technological present" I just bring profit to the capitalistic system?

The perfect example of the cyclic model of time is a religious life, organized by following the same festivals and rituals throughout each year. When ...

I agree with you. There are so many different “present times,” at which we live our lives. Probably, one could live simultaneously (consciously or not...

I agree with you. I tried to make a point that “my present time” or “your present time,” in spite of being singular and individual, have regularly bee...

I do not know what eternity is. Could you explain it to me? I agree with you. For me, my present is a whole, conscious experience, it can last from a ...

As you wrote in your previous post: Doesn’t it mean that we project our past into our future? And, by doing so, subjectively, we reproduce our past an...

When one says “present time,” as an occurrence, the sentence is a “now,” it is presenting time which is “right now.” This presenting of time has inevi...

Thank you for your point. What about “time today”?

When one tries to define time, one applies various logical and language recourses. Therefore, the fundamental features of time, related to change and ...

Probably, for the Hopi Indians experience of time and its language forms had been inseparable from the rhythms of their social and natural environment...

I agree with you. Since we cannot predict and foresee our future, we are inclined to eliminate it, to substitute it for familiar images and identifica...

I haven't known yet.

On the one side, the statement “time today” may have a sole significance. From the other side, it implies another sentence #2, indicating the exact ti...

In both cases, there have been some presuppositions applied: the monism of the statement is based on the monism of the speaking subject (and vice vers...

When we think of time, we apply the synthetic principle of grasping ceaseless changing – one needs to grasp the changes in the thought, to exit their ...

This approach has perpetuated the vicious circle - suffering has been propped up and amplified by some psychological authorities, theories, and practi...

Could you explain it? It looks like another conspiracy theory...

There are numerous attempts to represent the majority of those who voted in favor of Brexit as mislead by irresponsible politicians, ignorant, not suf...

I completely agree with your way of defining a classical stoic doctrine – you keep stating it (and, I think that this stoic truth worth being said aga...

Sorry for being vague. I tried to point out that quite often what I think, feel, and percept has indeed been induced and enforced by external socio-cu...

I think that you are right in defining the central theme of Stoicism. I just want to add two more points about difficulties of practicing the stoic “i...

I was struck by the following fragment from Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations: "always to define whatever it is we perceive—to trace its outline—so we can ...

As far as I know, even Epictetus encouraged his pupils to be actively engaged in the “outer” world. And, himself, as a spiritual leader and teacher, h...

If “indifference” is the central theme of Stoicism, how could you explain that both Marcus Aurelius and Seneca were the most powerful people of their ...

As far as I see, you differentiate between conscious perception and the state of consciousness. Could you define both rigorously?

Anyway, you are aware of your perceptions. So, what is this awareness, if not consciousness?

As was pointed out in many responses of this thread, we cannot change the course of the internet development since it has reached the point of no retu...

There are so many clichés and banalities about the internet – to your points, it is possible to add that there has been an ongoing and free exchange o...

Thank you for your point. Seemingly, both of us, discussing the word chair, have in our minds kind of an image of our own home chairs, and our habitua...

One may think that there is no difference between the word “chair” and the physical item that she sits on. So, there is a naive, routine, and automati...
