I like sushi

This is what drew me to your website. I was going to ask if you’d tried to show how these relate. Hopefully we have a lot to discuss about how best to...

The curious thing I find about Nietzsche is he can be interpreted as both against the ‘elite’ and against the ‘plebs’ - probably why he has such a wid...

Time is always a thorn in our side. Husserl certainly wasn’t attempting to look at the physical aspect of ‘time’, but to come to a better appreciation...

I think I mentioned above Husserl’s concern/aim. It was to establish firmer grounds for logic (or rather look to see what the grounds are) - upon whic...

Oh! And of course it is certainly a means of flexing the Ego.

I’ll give ‘em a quick go ... Meaning? Dunno. I guess it is more or less about dealing with items that evade demarcation and/or measurement in any accu...

There wasn’t really any ‘rhetorical drivel’. You make a claim and I asked for clarification; you refuse with venom. No problem. Good luck

I’ll assume an ‘and’ then because I agree with what you said. Thanks

Is it possible you could go a little more in depth here please? I find your view of Art, Aesthetics and Morality a possible point of interest for myse...

Enough meaning you have nothing more to offer, you don’t know how to express it, it’s too complex to sum up and/or something else entirely? If you fee...

How exactly are you distinguishing between ‘belief’ and ‘thought’, and what do you mean by ‘statement’ (do you mean that in a metaphorical sense or in...

Please go ahead and show us how.

Would you be willing to indulge my curiosity here? I was agreeing with your point and just trying to dig a little more through possible misundertsandi...

Given that this is a forum for discussions it would make sense to say why you feel that way and perhaps even offer up what you believe to be a ‘better...

I never denied he said those words.

I see you have a problem dealing with context when reading. It isn’t Janus.

And that it the point where Husserl took Kant’s work as faulty - but I think he misread - and broke out of the dichotomy of ‘subject’ and ‘object’.

I understood. It is, like everything, something that could be refined to the point where things get a little hazy though.

Try reading Einstein’s theory of Special Relativity to him next and see how that goes. Neither I, nor Einstein, would use the exact same language in e...

A simpler way to think of this is by paying attention to what Transcendental Reduction means. The ‘transcendent’ is the sensible experience - what we ...

Another problem is the assumption that anyone with influence is only concerned about their own selfish needs. Power corrupts, but everyone with power ...

Nietzsche would likely be residing in Switzerland and saying the same thing as before. Rousseau, assuming he was living as before, would still be vyin...

If we’re going there though I imagine Rousseau would be the lapdog of female celebrity whilst leading Antifa and encouraging violent protests.

Jovial or not I think this is still posted in the “General Philosophy” section so I would expect a sensible answer. I clearly stated that there was on...

Not interested. Like I said, try someone else. Good luck :)

I meant I liked the way the contents of the link are laid out. I doubt I could answer the questions you posed with any kind of precision because they ...

He certainly brings it up, but Heidegger was definitively the one who ran down that road full steam ahead. Husserl’s primary aim was to create a ‘subj...

I actually came across Husserl’s name when reading textbooks on cognitive neuroscience - Varela’s ideas to be spceific. I do agree that there was a pa...

This may be a little over simplistic but I don’t see how it can be denied: What has no meaning cannot be spoken of. Any attempt to counter this with a...

I don’t think this is the case. That said, people have been arguing over what Kant meant for a very long time. There is certainly a similar aim with H...

What is your point?

I missed the “?” I am guessing some people are holding onto the longstanding misrepresentation framed by his sister. I guess if you only heard some of...

That makes no sense.

Why?

It’s even used in English. To ‘look at ...’ rather than to ‘have brought to you image of ...’. If you can provide any examples of a language which doe...

That’s simply wrong. Epistemology is a broad area inclusive of what I said - if you look up any definition of epistemology you’ll see this (take wiki,...

That sums it up well enough :)

I know you meant ‘came after him’ but ‘digressed from his aim’ would be more to the point.

Some people? I think we all wish to follow sometimes - it’s a chore to carry the weight of the universe on your shoulders.

It seems very much like asking what it is like to be dead or what it was like before you were born. The evidence is secondhand and/or purely speculati...

I wasn’t suggesting we should deny it, just that it isn’t our natural/instinctual appreciation of ‘the world’ thus more telling of our subjective facu...

If you wish to talk about different ‘types’ of knowledge and meaning I’m up for that. The rest of what you’re saying doesn’t hit me I’m afraid. Perhap...

It a round abouts way that was what I was inferring. There are flavours of realism rather than a church of realism. In the general view realism is jus...

I have responded? The problem is epistemic. What is meaning is a matter for epistemology. If you want it may help to distinguish different ‘types’ of ...

Nope. As good as 50% but not exact. For starters force of coin flip, wind factor and the weight distribution of the coin are all physical factors in t...

In terms of probability I don’t have to. I don’t need to prove the the origins of DNA to say it exists. Clearly DNA is possible because it exists. Cle...

Would it also be fair to say that a ‘realist’ isn’t dogmatic and therefore a ‘realist’ is more or less someone who leans more towards a ‘realist’ take...

In my view? You said ‘mathematics’ so I don’t have an opinion on the matter. Certainty, in mathematics, is - for example - 1+1=2. I don’t have an opin...

Scientists are capable of rhetoric too. All they are trying to do is get the point across that a great many things are probable over a long period of ...

The OP seems to have read Damasio ;) I suggest the rest of you follow suit if you haven’t done so already.
