Mww

Pretty open-ended question, isn’t it? Within the context I was talking about, though, there isn’t any third-person to be found, the very notion is abs...

At first, I was ok with Rödl’s initial premises; each published philosopher has his own. But later on, came to object to the development of them. I me...

Told you already: a contradiction on the one hand or a self-deprecation on the other. Pick a kind of person for yourself, see which one works for that...

Then I guess I didn’t put one forward after all. Maybe it just means whatever you get out of it. Just like anything else.

I didn’t read far enough: you said known in a different way (or not at all). I would have said not at all, re: unknown, and nothing more. As you are w...

Something un-known???

Most of it, yeah. From which implies discursive judgements. When he talks like this, however,… “…. In these cases, the validity of my judgment depends...

I just followed the required criteria, with particular interest in the puzzling part. It’s a contradiction on the one hand, self-deprecation on the ot...

“….I wouldn’t want to join a club that would have me as a member…”

Metallica, 1991, 1986, 1984 BOC 1972, 1973

Yeah, other’s tastes as well. Still, there are those insisting we gain nothing by deleting epistemological gnostic mysticism in order to make room for...

It is an error. From a speculative metaphysical point of view, which is all we have for reference. Thought. Not a thought, not the thought. Thought in...

After spending a couple days, those linked papers/articles/essays give me a better understanding of Rödl’s general philosophy. I’m actually beginning ...

Exactly like one of Zeno’s Paradoxes.….cover half the distance with each step. Sooner or later, you’re gonna get to a point where the distance is meas...

Where, in 3B neuroconnections/mm3 in the human brain, would the recording equipment probe be inserted, for recording the experience of reeling in a tr...

Cool. All’s well….yaddayaddayadda. ————- Brilliant!!!!

It may not be wrong; it just isn’t what Kant said. If anything, it’s wrong that he said Kant said it. Kant never once…that I’m aware….said “I think” a...

That sounds reasonable, yes. It is said to be representation, it is said the representation “I think” “….in all acts of consciousness is one and the s...

Another thing, from your quote: if there is representation given before all thought, re: phenomenon from the faculty of intuition, and representation ...

I didn’t mention it, but the bolded part of that little bit I quoted, re: the unconditional command of reason, just IS an imperative, the exposition f...

I don’t consider myself qualified to make footnotes with respect to verbatim text. I’m more inclined to attempt the understanding the text itself. I m...

Yes, directly addressed; yes, hard to read, and it says….don’t lie. Ever. For any reason. IFF your intent is to be a moral agent in possession of rati...

Well said. ————- “On a Supposed Right to Tell Lies From Beneficial Motives”, 1797 http://philosophical.space/f325/KantLies.pdf

Typically Kantian, and perhaps not an exact iteration, the so-called thesis is in B407-413, concluded as “yielding nothing”, which is tantamount in Ka...

Agreed, hence its relative unpopularity. But upon closer examination, all he’s saying is, it is by this means alone, that a human can call himself a t...

Hey you!!! As always, good to read your opinions. Respect, sincerely, and lots. Ahhh, see? We agree on that, among other things. Objective linguistic ...

There you are!!! I thought I’d let my mouth get away from me, there, I didn’t hear back. Done went and pissed you off somehow. No, that statement only...

I understand that, but I reject that we think in propositions, which makes explicit subjectivity in the form (“it is I who thinks p”), is absurd. If s...

It ain’t easy, is it. The thing everyone does, what is impossible that they not do….and nobody knows what it is they’re doing. ————- Disclaimer: none ...

Ahhhh….now I understand you better. Another reason I chose #3: thought is not an experience, it’s a function, represented by “I think”.

No chance of that; you asked about a statement made from a thesis concerning pure speculative reason, which couldn’t be anything other than metaphysic...

Depends on what you want consciousness to represent. Simply put, I suppose, given that consciousness is a relative state of being conscious, and given...

Schelling,1795, was right, in saying “…thinking is not my thinking…”, insofar as thinking, in and of itself, is the systemic modus operandi of human i...

Agreed, but does that make to reason on content the same as to reason to emotion? It looks to me as if you’re hinting they are not, and if they are no...

I’m pretty sure the thesis says, not that we think them, but we think by means of them. Personally, I hold with the notion humans think in images, whi...

I offer only that 3 is the least wrong. The reason for my choice is that Kant says “I think” must accompany all my representations (B133, in three sep...

I wouldn’t agree, unless you actually intended every human’s cognitive system has an a priori structure. But in saying every cognitive system generall...

On “reasoned beauty”: Do you think we reason to an aesthetically pleasing emotion?

I don’t know of any cognitive system other than the human, so I won’t concur with any supposed impossibilities inherent in them. But I will concur non...

Nothing to do with secrecy; ol’ Bob and me, we go down this dialectical inconsistency road every once in awhile. The carry on is just meant to indicat...

I already granted the conceptual similarity, but, no, I wouldn’t say they are the same. But that wasn’t the point. There’s a disconnect between what y...

Then he’s already shot himself in the foot, insofar as the uncondition-ed is beyond human reason, and the uncondition-al is itself a rather suspicious...

Careful, Bob. Even granting no conceptual conflict between ultimate and absolute, the initial query regards knowing about the ultimate truth of realit...

Cool synopsis. I’m all for reduction from the naturalist attitude, but that realm of “transcendental experience”…..that just felt weird coming out of ...

….and speaking of presenting questions, something I distinctly remember doing, which at my age, is rather significant.

Ain’t gonna happen. He’s rather well-known for the questions he presents his dialectical companions, the lack of relevant response from one or another...

….yet it repeats itself. Socrates would object in the most strenuous of terms.

I’m obviously not MU, but I asked first. Sorry, , for butting in, kinda. I recognize that you’re going deeper into the subject matter than my simple q...

That’d be me, on the one hand, insofar as that which is, is given. But it is, on the other hand, the systemic function of my intelligence to internall...
