…the world (as perceived), is presupposed, and from such temporal antecedence…. ….the independence of it with respect to perceivers, is given necessar...
Pretty much what I’m saying: there’s nothing cognizable in a sensation alone, so nothing to do with its cause or its resolution. Pure reflex of course...
Right, hence my meaning in saying to know of having it is superfluous. In response to your to have it and know you have it are two different things. T...
I don’t need to know there is a sensation beyond having one. The given sensation makes the knowing of it superfluous. Agreed, in principle, for sensat...
In order to know what things are one must conceptually represent them to himself and judge accordingly. This is knowledge of. One has no need of conce...
Ehhhh….I don’t do psychology. I’m happy just knowing stuff, and while I think of myself as a knowing subject, that is not to say I know myself. But I ...
Oh damn. Sorry. Not sure what I’d change, but thanks for correcting me. Again, I’d agree self-awareness is intrinsic to every conscious act. I maintai...
This is a whole ‘nuther argument. I might agree that understanding and all are acts of the intellect, and the subject to which they belong is consciou...
Yeah, it’s kinda hard to make certain just how much Aristotle is in Kant, beyond the general conditions. He does credit the categories to Aristotle, b...
As you know, Kant was the chair of metaphysics and logic, and had great respect for Aristotle, using logical syllogism as ground for his critical prog...
That’s you talking, not the system in which consciousness is a consequence. If I am the experiencer, understander and reasoner, what am “I” doing whil...
…proper understanding of the origin and use of the transcendental. Transcendental is a condition representing the possible determination of the partic...
As did Schopenhauer; nothing wrong with it, as long as it remains true to its name. Wouldn’t be fair or right to call it transcendental philosophy whe...
We have to be completely separated from the unknowable, don’t we? An unknowable reality is a contradiction in terms, technically, but still, we have t...
The structure of subjectivity goes beyond the purview of Kantian transcendental philosophy, in that the structure of subjectivity must include pure pr...
Yes, in that the object in its entirety is the experience. When the perception is already determined as, e.g., basketball, as far as the human intelle...
Ehhhhh…..I’m sure there’s an abundance of abstraction, from the physical mechanisms of the brain to those conditions which facilitate an explanation f...
Because the reference is Kant…… For his relation to moral philosophy, care needs be taken for which pure reason matters. …entirely a priori, but not n...
More opinion. Like a snake that can go a few days without eating, a sloth that can go a few days without taking a trip to the “bathroom”, so too has i...
1957 1787 “….The old question with which people sought to push logicians into a corner, so that they must either have recourse to pitiful sophisms or ...
Yeah, well, you know…I’m that much in agreement with your general philosophical presentation, if I didn’t pick a nit once in awhile, I wouldn’t have a...
I might be inclined to suggest the way we construe….interpret….our sense of what is real, is always in accordance with the sensation the real provides...
The real world object (the named, experienced representation)…. One of these things is not like the other. Everydayman could care less iff it occurred...
Yes, the intellectual intuition. Understanding is that faculty for which no other kind than the discursive could even be imagined, and no other at all...
The problem is two-fold. First, CPR goes to great lengths to show that thinking is wrong, and second, doesn’t go to hardly any length at all to show w...
If you’ve any serious interest, I highly recommend at least the translator’s intro, CPR, Guyer/Wood, Cambridge Press, 1998… https://cpb-us-w2.wpmucdn....
B344-5 in Guyer/Wood, is understanding warning sensibility not to exceed its purpose, which it would be doing if it treated the object understanding t...
Of course they are not identical, never said they were, and never should have been thought to imply they were. That they have common source can be des...
Yeah, I’ll own that. All that is real are the schemata of “reality”, just as are all things the schemata of “world”. Postmodern/current philosophy doe...
Hmmmm, I’m not sure he could. I doubt Locke had any inkling, nor entertained the possibility, of knowledge given from man himself. Empiricists in gene...
The most prominent relation Kant had with Locke’s philosophy, as far as I know, is the notion of innate knowledge, which Kant rejected. As far as empi...
Technically, it is things in the world that are empirically real. The world is a general conception representing the totality of those empirically rea...
Hardly from god. Kant’s motto, circa 1784: sapere aude. From the nature of human intelligence. Speculative metaphysics means you gotta stop somewhere ...
Yeah, that is ironic, hence ill-warranted “revolution”. That and the notion of treating metaphysics as a science. Still, both manifest as paradigm shi...
From the perspective of Enlightenment philosophy in general, and Kantian metaphysics in particular, transcendental thinking is thinking (the synthesis...
They are, but should they be? I recommend the section which is commonly, but without proper warrant, called the Copernican revolution, the major premi...
Mine as well, that knowledge a priori arises from pure reason itself, in the form of principles. When I observe, e.g., an object falls to the ground w...
Subject/copula/predicate: consciousness/is/appearance; consciousness/is/(presentable)object. Really? The unity of consciousness is apperception; when ...
From that if/then, follows necessarily that because noumena are not phenomena, noumena cannot be entities, insofar as phenomena are necessarily repres...
I’m finding I should have led with this at the beginning of our dialectic: for you, what does it mean to posit? ——————- What citation can be taken fro...
