Agreed. To perceive the proposition is to perceive representations of its empirical content. To perceive a representation in the form of a word is not...
No apple, as such, ever existed independently of that by which it is conceived, and, thereby, is represented by that name. The object represented by t...
“…. In truth, it is not images of objects, but schemata, which lie at the foundation of our pure sensuous conceptions. No image could ever be adequate...
Metaphysics is general, although Kant’s ethics, more inclined toward what he called empirical anthropology and the moderns call cultural or the strong...
Oh, I been in the back of the room, keeping my head down, taking notes. A Kantian with respect to moral subjectivism I’ll admit. Ethics is more than t...
The very point of a priori mental machinations never was the mind, re: human intellectual system, in relation to the world, but the relation of the hu...
Of course. There should be as many interpretations as there are folks that bother with it. What he wanted the interpretation to be, should be singular...
So? Same is it ever was. That it is done is given; the possibility for guarding against it is what the Critque offers. Take it or leave it, but first,...
To record, reason and apply logic presupposes the capacity for it. To come to judgement presupposes there is that which is possible to come to. Undoub...
Oh dear. The entire human intellectual system is presupposed. Do you have any idea at all, just how far it is in the procedural methodology, between r...
An aberration of the whole point. You’re giving an example from understanding’s point of view, which presupposes the logic. In response to the accusat...
“….. Now general logic, in its assumed character of organon, is called dialectic. Different as are the significations in which the ancients used this ...
Yep, he does, at least empirical content. If one wishes to insist the content of logic is its own laws or principles for its operation, he has misdire...
Yes. All empirical knowledge is contingent and derived from inductive inference. Agreed. The elements are a priori. The elements are the content of in...
….yet he states, clear as the nose on your face…..impure. How can it have nothing to do with exactly what he’s saying? “…. By the term “knowledge à pr...
Kindasorta, I suppose. We have the physiological capacity to perceive, in various modes, given from the type of biological being we are. No it doesn’t...
Devil’s in the details. What is a phenomenon; how did it get to be one; what makes it possible; What does “pure” mean; what does “a priori” mean; Virt...
Yep. Now all you gotta do is figure out exactly what that means, and how it reflects on the human cognitive system overall. Your modern mentality comb...
Or, understanding thinks invisible objects. Almost, yes. He is talking about space as an intuited a priori representation, in order to remove it from ...
More than irrelevant; incomprehensible. Vision needs that which appears, space does not appear, space cannot be a sensation, space cannot be real. It ...
Maybe, dunno, but we’re not doing physics. We’re doing transcendental philosophy. I don’t recall saying or implying that seeing was a property of spac...
What is size, but a relation to a subject? Only an intelligence thinks about or compares sizes. Why not, then, limit the conditions by which relative ...
“…. In whatsoever mode, or by whatsoever means, our knowledge may relate to objects, it is at least quite clear that the only manner in which it immed...
How could it be the case, that matter is real but space isn’t? That’s easy: come up with a whole bunch of ideas demonstrating how space isn’t real, le...
Exactly. Existence of matter. Things. Objects. That which appears to human sensibility. That of which sensation is possible. That for which phenomena ...
That argument may have some validity. In The Metaphysical Principles of Natural Science are the quite gentle objections, absent strict conclusive evid...
Despite the direct textual references refuting that opinion, you both continue the misunderstanding. Or I do. One or the other. ————- Absolutely. Why ...
“…. Reality (…) is that which corresponds to a sensation in general; that, consequently, the conception of which indicates a being (in time)….” To est...
Not that ‘schema’ is much of an improvement, but at least there’s no…or less….chance of confusing it with ‘object’. Just wondering’, you know, given m...
Balboa Park, San Diego, 1971, windowpane. You know, laying in the grass, you can’t tell the difference between imagining the grass is growing or your ...
OK. So can I hear space? If I close my eyes I can’t see bacon frying, but I can still smell it. Space isn’t then, perceivable to all the senses? Or ac...
I use JMDM for its searchable text. Guyer/Wood has C & P but isn’t searchable. Plus, it has an outstanding editor’s synoptic introduction. Quite acade...
Yes, we are talking CPR, and in which we find….we don’t perceive a tree in the first place. We perceive “an undetermined object” by its appearance to ...
A tree….with space. A tree with bark, a tree with leaves. A tree with branches, roots, cones/nuts. A tree with space? What does space do for the tree ...
Yes, he was, but to make the point that is not what it supposed to happen. Think of it as a minor antinomy. Something reason lets us do (think the emp...
That doesn’t relate to his maintaining the empirical reality of space? I couldn’t locate the exact wording he “asserts space as Empirical Reality” and...
“…. We maintain, therefore, the empirical reality of space in regard to all possible external experience, although we must admit its transcendental id...
Yet again, the relative obscurity has nothing to do with individual understandings. While it may be true there is no obscurity in the quotes, it remai...
Wrong. I’m not accepting what you think Kant is saying. You probably want to say I’m not understanding what Kant is saying, and thereby I’m complicati...
