Mww

All that, plus, I’d submit, that people in general are more conscious of their respective worldviews than they are of the metaphysics from which they ...

HA!!! Yeah, sorry, bud. Just calls ‘em as I sees ‘em, donchaknow. I thought your Main Man was Chomsky anyway, so gimme credit for not throwing him und...

Yes, but such are the exceptions to the rule, rather then a metaphysical, albeit speculative, establishment of it. ———- Not helpful….in what context? ...

“….a blind but indispensable function of the soul, without which we should have no cognition whatever, but of the working of which we are seldom even ...

Cool. Way cool. I did “Science of Logic”, but my persuasions had already been set.

Do you think his predecessors constructed systems as complete as the three Citique’s entail?

If no one had ever thought to consider the problem as he describes, wouldn’t an investigation into it be a new mode of investigation? “….It is extreme...

Good to know. Thanks.

That’s the rub, innit? How would we as humans comprehend any intelligence, other than the one by which humans comprehend anything? Which is why it can...

Correct. But Kant relegates noumena to the human faculty of understanding alone, and for that reason they are necessarily unattainable goals of scienc...

I’d go as far as to say, beyond merely taken for granted, fundamental understandings are not even within Everydayman’s conscious considerations; that ...

Yeah, but you know…..even though we share a language, it remains we may hold with different systems into which that common language fits. For me, “per...

Is it? What then, of the natural sciences? The subject matter of metaphysics, is the methodology by which the natural sciences regarding the reality s...

I prefer to say my sensory devices are affected by them. Any object is an effect on each sensory device according to that device’s physiology, and fro...

Relax. All is not lost. Might it help to examine whether the other senses meet the same criteria you’ve assigned to vision? I mean…jeeeezzz, ain’t it ...

Ehhh…he’s around; he’ll get to this when he’s ready.

I wondered about that, too. Now that you’ve brought it up, it’s likely we’ll be told one way or the other.

Hey back, and, thanks for the invite. I was in general agreement with your list, maybe differentiating in terminology or a couple particulars here and...

While I might agree with the notion of escaping the empiricist trap, I’d still ask whether a pure empiricist could have a metaphysical belief. At leas...

This is good and I agree, in principle. Might I suggest one small change, re: Insofar as the perspective is from logic alone rather than typically sci...

I’d join that club, if there was such a thing.

Oh absolutely. Definitions, relationships and whatnot are generally predicated on a specific theory, and that theory establishes an understanding for ...

All good. Thanks. Except, my mind isn’t included in stuff of the world. Or, at least, I make every effort to prevent the world from getting its grubby...

Assuming I’ve understood what you mean, and from the perspective of critical thought, I’m not sure how much sense it makes to grant compatibility to o...

That’s experience talking. You’ve been wrong before, so, given only so much evidence, you might very well be wrong again. Here, though, you haven’t th...

I don’t think it is the case dreams are the reception of stimuli, for one thing, and for another, reception of stimuli just is sensation anyway, which...

I agree it hasn’t to do with properties of things, but it does seem quite easy just to say…the external is that by which sensations are possible. Wann...

First thing that presented itself to me was, the compound judgement in the form, “I see something coming”, subsequently complemented by “…. I think th...

In fact, it does, and necessarily. From which follows, conclusions drawn on false premises, is invalid.

IBM in atoms, 1989; “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom”, Feynman, 1959.

There is something to be said affirming that choice. I personally didn’t consider him, for his adhesion to religion, however much the times forced him...

Sure I do. But they haven’t seriously shifted any paradigms. Or, they haven’t shifted any serious paradigms. While they may have advanced this or that...

Ehhhh….sorry, man, but I have such little interest in the soft sciences. That said, I can’t claim enough knowledge to answer your question. With respe...

I don’t get it. Paradigm shifts in science are not ignored, couldn’t be by definition actually, so what’s wrong with the logic of my submission, exact...

Maybe nothing more than who is still the more referenced, after the longer time. I submit, under that criteria, there are but two: Aristotle with pure...

We as conscious thinking subjects, do not seem to operate in terms of the very natural law by which we understand the operation of all natural real th...

Yes, I get that now, after paying attention to the video. The elapsed time reference in it, from helped with the transcendental part I took exception ...

I’ll have to think about that.

Hmmmm….. If it is given that a thing is intelligible, in what sense are there conditions for the possibility of its being intelligible? For that which...

That, I must say, was the most fabulously entertaining dissertation. Having a long-standing inclination for analyzing perceived dialectical subtleties...

Agreed. That which may or may not be good, as in instances of, is. The metaphysical argument being, one cannot know (appreciate, consider, allow….what...

To posit the existence of an object of thought is to affirm that which is thought about is conditioned by the categories of quality (whatever it is, i...

Palmquist. Guyer. (?)

Then what is to be made of those dogmatic slumbers, and the awakening therefrom? The Dude Himself says he’s writing to justify synthetic a priori cogn...

No longer pertinent.

No longer pertinent.

Why do I have to repeat that I didn’t make a claim? No, they are not. One is so-called, the others are merely transcendental ideas, the conception of ...

Pretty much what I thought as well. There is no relation. The reference shows what god, freedom and immortality are, and from that, it is clear the th...

Dunno what to tell ya, bud. If you can’t find the connection, or you think there isn’t one, that’s all on you. But I’m not doing your thinking for you...

If you actually read the reference, you’d know. Which begs an obvious question…..why are you asking?
