Ooooo….15 whole minutes!!! Time well spent, then, huh? Hard to call passages bracketed by quotation marks as plagiarized, innit? I think that’s why th...
By presupposing it given some general observations, then constructing a theory that supports the presuppositions without contradicting the observation...
Of course it is: “….our criticism is the necessary preparation for a thoroughly scientific system of metaphysics which must perform its task entirely ...
What….use my reason to answer your reason’s questions, asked of itself? Nahhh….I ain’t gonna do that. You’re smart enough, you got the books, use your...
There’s a whole section on it. “…. To avow an ability to solve all problems and to answer all questions would be a profession certain to convict any p...
And yet, the question was…what caused Kant’s awakening from his dogmatic slumbers, which he allotted to Hume specifically. Now you wish Kant to be fix...
If that were the case, mathematics would be impossible. We don’t care as much for that to which pure reason deals, but moreso the mechanisms by which ...
Everybody knows the famous one-liners….understanding cannot intuit, intuition cannot think; thoughts without intuition are empty, intuitions without c...
Understood, and thanks. You and are much further along the philosophical evolutionary scale than I. My point was….ideas can’t be extinguished, except ...
According to Kant, because Hume used the word ideas, as an example, without proper criticism of the principle by which the conception connects to his ...
“….Algebraist nor Mathematician so expert in his science…” What science would a mathematician be an expert in, if not mathematical science? ———— Kant ...
As I said….your reference: Treatise on Human Nature 1.4.1., Of Scepticism Regard to Reason, although it should read…scepticism with regard to reason. ...
From your reference…. “…. There is no Algebraist nor Mathematician so expert in his science, as to place entire confidence in any truth immediately up...
I addressed what Kant thought was the very problem Hume took for granted as not being one, that the critical examination of reason regarding its own p...
Didn’t sound that way to me. You didn’t ask about any exact thing. Wouldn’t matter anyway; there wasn’t any one exact thing. I gave what I thought exp...
Ask and ye shall receive, or, be careful what you wish for. The problem: “….as the world has never been, and, no doubt, never will be without a system...
Yep, from his dogmatic slumbers. So it depends on what he means by dogmatic, to figure out just what Hume woke him from. Was he slumbering and proper ...
Yeah….one of the things he says I either didn’t bother with, or couldn’t wrap my head around, dunno which….is that he frowns on dogmatism, but grants ...
I’m ok with that. I don’t like the notion of psychological activities particularly, but modern times finds value therein, somehow. Just remember…reaso...
That’s the whole problem: pure reason has no limit. The sole raison d’etre for the Critique of it, is what can be done about that problem. What we can...
In Kant, this is wrong. This is correct. IFF one accepts that the thing that appears to our senses, is the thing of the thing-in-itself. It is the aim...
On matter, from a Kantian point of view: “… the real in space—that is, matter…..” “…what we cognize in matter is nothing but relations…” “….Matter is ...

On the fallacious attribution of principles to the understanding, from a Kantian point of view: “….All our knowledge begins with sense, proceeds thenc...
He’s very harsh on Young Hegelians, calls them mushheads following a philosophical numbskull. Kant just says he disagrees with a guy without demeaning...
A common lament to be sure, but, believe it or not, there are passages that make so much sense, it helps in drawing sense out of the rest, like this: ...
We should both step back, maybe. Your… ….makes no sense to me, and my…. …..seems to have made no sense to you. I meant by the proposition that just be...
No prob, but it goes without saying…..any comment on Kant is only an opinion at least, and a best guess at most. I mean, when you come across sentence...
Close enough. To reduce it all to the subtleties of transcendental philosophy might be a little different, but the gist is good enough for a general i...

In a Kantian sense, it is already the case we don’t intuit anything in any comprehendable nature. Intuition is that faculty of representation by which...
A possible existence and its possible phenomenon may be irrelevant at a certain time, but time isn’t something to be ignored in general. Contingency i...
Concepts, in and of themselves with respect to their origin, re: understanding, and method of use, re: logic, no, they do not. Existence has to do wit...

It doesn’t. The thing to be known by a particular name already existed; we just didn’t know what it was, how to talk about it. No object comes named; ...
