What could possibly suggest I’m confused? Because I don’t agree with you? Because I don’t stick to your usage? Because the authority I’m using is conf...
LOL. There’s hope for you yet!!!! Forsake the LOOOSSERRR side and join the chosen. I’ll show the nudgenudgewinkwink secret handshake. Drop that capito...
Of course I’m a realist. How foolish to suppose there aren’t real things in the real world. Besides, I couldn’t explain my very own self if I denied o...
Do not confuse the appearing of physical manifestation of reflected light, with the conceptual appearing of the effect of reflected light. The eyes me...
It can be viewed that way, insofar as your order, or sequence, is correct. Nevertheless, when questions are asked about how it all happens, it becomes...
Understood. In CPR 1787 of course, he deleted that whole synopsis given in CPR 1781 you referenced as being incoherent. In B, noumena are give a whole...
Basically, in the cognitive chain, appearances come first, as an un-named object called a phenomenon, occurring immediately upon perception. Empirical...
This is patently false, on two accounts. Intuitions are representations, not appearances, and, appearances correspond to real physical objects present...
Even paradigm-shifting thinkers aren’t right all the time. I understand your critique of the Critique, and such has been argued similarly from Schopen...
It doesn’t. Under both currently understood physical law, and the logical law of identity, c + c = c is unintelligible. If you don’t already have it, ...
Ignoring it then leaves one with rationality in general and humanity in particular irreducible to a non-contradictory fundamental condition, because t...
Reason acts when the object is internal; reasons reacts when the object is external. In the former reason gives itself its object, in the latter perce...
Ok. I can go along with utility as an assessment of properties. The minor eye-brow raising I might exhibit would be over any kind of properties of min...
Exactly. Otherwise, we’re left with a wet noodle with the same utility as a hammer with respect to striking nails. While both can be used for it, the ...
But the counter point will be.....no sense can be made out of something exists but has no utility. Which may be true, but that doesn’t make it a prope...
Yes. Accounts are subjective; the something is objective because of the implication given by “witness”. Subjective: that upon which reason acts. Objec...
The modern idealist will say this is backwards. That which is named is always first an undefined appearance susceptible to naming. This is how that sa...
I loves me some cheese, boy howdy. Not so sure about that headgear though. I haven’t sat in a barber chair since cars had fins, so.....not sure about ...
Perused the thread; agreed without exception. 2 + 2 will equal 4 anywhere in the Universe, as soon as we get there to prove it. Or maybe as soon as we...
It better be. Mathematical expressions were initially deemed logically infallible, hence universally true. But we’d never been anywhere off-planet. No...
Hmmm. The thesis would begin with.....meaning is a product of reason and is no way a property of that which reason examines. The proof would take 7-8 ...
I’d be even happier, ecstatic no less, if you’d chalk yourself up in the “meaning absolutely requires reason” column. I’m a YankeeVirgoBabyboomer, and...
Ok. Then how does the idealist/materialist dichotomy fit in? I just brought up subject/object dualism because it seems to relate one-to-one with ideal...
Are you agreeing, via shared belief, that the idealist/materialist dichotomy is false, but the subject/object dualism is not? I read for context but d...
It is difficult to understand because the argument is being forwarded by an intelligence the major premise denies. It does not stand to reason that a ...
You are correct, of course. Generally, however, it must be admitted an intelligence is required for the existence of meaning, whether the instantiatio...
I edited that line out to prevent the uproar sure to follow. It was put there with respect to noumena, with which I will hold in its original assertor...
If viewed as you said, a logical correspondence to phenomena, and as I said, an intelligible extant, then there is no meaning associated with them. It...
It doesn’t, actually. Noumena can never relate to any empirical relation, and noumena can be talked about. Otherwise, the word and its use wouldn’t st...
Reference frames. The thought experiment grounding Special Relativity as given in “The Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies” and demonstrated with mathema...
Given congruent, re: similarly constructed, rationalities, if to “point at meaning” is to indicate an origin for it, or if to “point at meaning” is to...
Over the years I’ve been accused of over-analyzing the bejesus out of stuff, so I’m pretty sure I make my intentions with respect to those terms eithe...
There is Plato’s ideality of forms, there is Berkeley’s subjective idealism, there is Wolff’s pluralistic ontological idealism, there is Hegel’s Pheno...
Don’t you just hate it when it’s presupposed about you, that you don’t know something after you’ve already rejected it? The source of the time-indepen...
How very “Xenophan-ic” of you!! Can you spell “categorical error”? The mashed potato thing is nothing but a form of “I know you are but what am I” Try...
....unless they are of the mind that such expression contains the rule, the expression *is* the rule. Anything beforehand is nothing but synthetic a p...
