Mww

….because for that knowledge, we must have recourse to empirical science. But then, how does one experiment for that which isn’t to be found? Which ge...

Is there an answer that doesn’t just invite another question? Comprehension needs to be bestowed on something representing a particular accomplishment...

There doesn’t have to be; consciousness is not a physical necessity. But, the metaphysical argument, is that it is necessary in order for there to be ...

Agreed. That consciousness of mine that proves that I am, insofar as its negation is a contradiction, says nothing at all about what I am.

Agreed, of course, but we are still left with determining what thing to do, sufficiently reflecting that good already decided.

IN-capable?

Shouldn’t the discussion bear on the OP? Maybe present some theory-specific examples of transcendent laws? Even if we’re limited to their necessity, b...

Experience is cognition by means of conjoined perceptions; consciousness is a natural human condition, represented as the totality of representations....

Derived from “I think”, one relatively well-known philosopher suggests…. “….The “I think” must accompany all my representations, for otherwise somethi...

I wouldn’t, myself, no. In Kant, transcendent is juxtapositional to immanent, with respect to experience, whereas transcendental merely indicates the ...

He does seem to base his philosophical mindset on Kant, however over-extended it seems to be, from a purist’s perspective anyway.

Yeah, that, and I think he wants to use Kantian methods to justify them, which is fine, as long as they work. Which is possible iff the relevant defin...

HA!! I know…sorry. You beat me by a full 17 minutes.

Define transcendent. In what sense are you using it in this discussion? What would be its complement? And transcendent cannot be defined as that by wh...

I think, again, depending on definitions….and indeed metaphysical predispositions….. that while a transcendental argument cannot suffice for establish...

How can non-relational transcendent laws ever be determinable by a method necessarily predicated on relations? If the method is relational, mustn’t th...

Doncha just love it when a plan comes together?

I think the point was relocation of center. One de-centered Earth in favor of the Sun, the other de-centered various forms of ens realissimum in favor...

FYI, just in case you wanted to know, and even then notwithstanding the Enlightenment limitations, there is a sense in which the intensive quantity of...

Yeah…the ship you build on this hand, the river you step into on that hand. I get it. One Copernican Revolution to rule them all.

I wonder if anyone asked that guy…..who doesn’t Google, by the way……when the plate wasn’t the same plate. What if you ate two dinners in a row, one ri...

But I didn’t say it was exactly the same. As far as my perception informs me, it was unchanged, which is merely to highlight that to say change is alw...

Sorry. My fault. I don’t want to work that hard unpacking your posts.

It’s material composition, whatever it may be. Time.

As in Stove’s Gem notoriety, I presume. How apropos, in a thread arguing pros and cons of elevated philosophical dialectics.

First you said…. Followed by….. Now you say…. Hopefully this indicates you now understand the point being made in the text, that space and time belong...

Not really. Or, not always. I just ate dinner from the same plate I ate dinner from last week. Anyway….not that important.

The cogito is I think. Does the validity of the notion that I think, require time? The notion of past, future and therefore time itself, would be nece...

For the sake of the current argument, perhaps. From the perspective of a metaphysical antirealist, any belief is justified by its construction, and as...

Not quite; time is the representation of change, change presupposes time as the means by which changes are determinable. Change requires things that c...

Given minor differences in translations, yes, he is, and no, they are not. Mode of perception is not perception, and neither space nor time is ever an...

What point is it beside, when I’m agreeing with it? All experience is IN space and time, whether or not the subject is cognizant of relations as such,...

I got one for you, for a change. Hopefully not overly simplistic. “….Most writers on the topic agree, as the name suggests, antirealism is defined in ...

A baby does not have the experience required to name things as square. No parent says to a baby….this is round, that is square, keep ‘em separate, bec...

Ehhhh…..the continental antirealist in general will only go so far as to say if the cat’s in the box, fine; if the cat’s not in the box, that’s fine t...

All that, and the overarching premise grounding CPR, is the determination of rational governances, not the exceptions to them. This necessarily presup...

Depends on what truth is, as such. The antirealist generally considers truth, the stand-alone conception in itself, in A59/B84, 1787, to be the agreem...

Funny. I was going to blame your Zahavi post for my 4-hour sojourn through cloudspace, where I found Intro to Phenomenology. Like a freakin’ bait trai...

At least in part, sure, but moreso I think in opposition to abstract systemic metaphysics, some of which, ironically enough, prioritize the subject’s ...

Shouldn’t I then question phenomenology in general, and Husserl in particular, for the notion of a first methodological principle towards a further pr...

I think this is correct, or at least feasible, insofar as if otherwise, it must be the case infants have, not so much an underdeveloped human intellec...

If it is the case that all “features a, b, c, etc” of any object are prescribed to it by the subject himself, but are not perceived in it as such, and...

Good luck with that.

That would seem to be the case, but where does that leave us? We continue to think even without apodeitic certainty of being right under any and all c...

I’m sticking with the text, in which, first, the content of cognitions are examined in relation to each other, and second, the domain in which certain...

That’s the way I understand it, yes. Perhaps, rather, an impossibility of intellectual capacity than a contradiction in terms. That understanding can ...

Yes, with the understanding that what we call thinking is nothing but an initial condition of a theoretical metaphysic. In other words, it seems as th...

Do you think it appropriate that we denote the succession of isolated moments as change, leaving time itself to represent continuous and subjective fl...
