Picture, Canvas and Paint would be a decent analogy. The Picture painted only exists due to Paint and Canvas. We cannot see the Picture if only one or...
Key point! It is not really worth claiming this or that is ‘correct’ when it comes to interpreting Kant. The great value is in understanding why and h...
Never said they were. Anyway, I’m outta here. It’s a bit like Groundhog Day for me when it comes to Kant :) I may start something up elsewhere regardi...
Er ... I was advising against relying on secondhand material. I believe you posted a quote from wiki not me? The source is always best, and even bette...
That’s called naive realism. I’m not one of those. It’s a tricky topic that deserves its own thread. This is a another confusing point. The matter of ...
I wouldn’t waste time using any distilled secondhand summation of Kant’s work as a means of coming to anything conclusive. The same can, and probably ...
I think I see the problem. The issue seems to be if we’re to only apply the term ‘noumenon’ in a negative sense (because it’s tangible), but at the he...
like I said, we’re not going to agree - which is usually something that makes for a good discussion, but I’ve been down this road too many times alrea...
I don’t agree at all. It is, and he says so. He must, necessarily, use sensibility to talk of any proposition. That’s the hard part to grasp. I don’t ...
Wrong ... keep reading (A256/B311,B312) and (A289/B345) The point of using ‘thing in itself’ alongside ‘noumenon’ is to show they are one and the same...
It would be more useful if you cleared this up. If you really wish to know the difference between what I said you can google it easily enough. You see...
“Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.” There is only phenomenal experience as that is all the experience there c...
Technically wouldn’t that fall under political corruption? I guess there is a crossover though, so it probably does need an extra category - I think i...
The issue is the terms have various applications in different fields of interest. We don’t perceive something ‘outside’ of us - the perceiving takes p...
Show me a starving family who cares about anything other than finding food. Some do. You’re wealthy and you care, don’t you? If you were trying to scr...
What baffles me more than anything is the claim that we’re stopping the next ice age AND that climate change is a lie ... I’ve seen several people tel...
The ‘memory’ is the ‘illusion’ of ‘permanence’. We need something to ground ourselves in or we’d just be floating entities without any orientation wha...
Yep. Basically it’s the root of the rest. It has been shown relatively clearly that once people are raised above the poverty line everything else tend...
That’s mistaken I believe. The ‘phenomenon’ is all there is for us - as opposed to the negative sense of noumenon. He is explicit enough about that I ...
Are bananas upside down when tomorrow is yesterday? Anyone can throw out questions, but that doesn’t mean they are reasonable questions. You’ll hav to...
‘God’ is a phenomenon of humans. It’s merely a term to appropriate ‘being’/‘existence’. Just like there is no ‘pure cat’ there is no ‘pure god’, we us...
It’s a tough thing to do. It sounds too scripted and monotone in places - I’ve tried recording myself too, so I know how hard it can be (I’ve never at...
This isn’t a science forum. We, at least myself, know about epigenetics. Great big yawn anything to actually say? Anything to discuss? It’s tiresome w...
Epigenetic features have presented in many repeated experiments. There is nothing more extraordinary about these mice than about any other experiment ...
I see the as relational antonyms because they’re relational antonyms. Many mistaken them for complimentary antonyms. In phenomenological terms all ‘ob...
I think you’ll find plenty of continental philosophers haven’t taken the nominalist approach - maybe this is more about the general reluctance (histor...
The two that give a pretty good overview of his work include “Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious” (a must read for anyone seriously interested ...
Actually, it is. Epigenetics is about genes being ‘turned on/off’ and the cascade effects can lead to all kinds of things. We’ve known for a long time...
You haven’t responded yet. Now you’re bailing from the thread? People are posting out of interest here so it wouldn’t hurt to answer the question. If ...
Answer the question posed to you three times or leave then? This forum is most certainly full of opinionated people and a fair few who do doubt have c...
Be charitable. Just because Peirce believed in ‘god’ it doesn’t make his work redundant/nonsense. If you’re referring something else not on stated on ...
You’re going to have to do better than making such a statement and refusing to explain it. I’d be willing to look at your ideas if you could explain t...
I don’t disagree. I said that it is a mistake to follow guides with your first reading, but that in university time often doesn’t allow for this. I’m ...
It is AI driven. The rest is what I already said - preying on our human instincts to survive and avoid death. Note: some organisms change their physio...
Fear sells. If you fill content with mortal danger then we find it hard to ignore - we’re wired to both seek out and/or avoid dangers. Just because me...
Gazzaniga, split brain patients. You’ll see the two hemispheres ‘communicating’ externally. The ‘thinking’ is externalised. What this means for non-sp...
