Not quite right, in that reason alone does not account for PURE reason, right there is the title of the book. “…This attempt to introduce a complete r...
Pitiful, ain’t it? Just as ol’ Henry didn’t understand production efficiency. Landry didn’t understand football. Gandhi didn’t understand civil rights...
Logically grounded theories in the metaphysical discipline necessarily justify, or validate if you’d rather, whatever is the case given by the course ...
Superficially true, but insufficient to explain empirical discovery by a solitary subject. ….has more to do with the relation of cause and effect than...
It isn’t, which was the point: thought of a cup is to name the thought, whereas the thought “cup” references that which is thought about. The thought ...
Might be closer to the case to say, there had to have been the thought “cup”, simply from the fact “you must have had” is already given by the thought...
That’s fine. Intuitions are made up, fabricated. Kant calls it something else, but works out to be close enough. Sensibility is a big place involving ...
All of which was the point. If you already know there is a proof of a claim (things do exist outside the mind), I don’t understand why you would then ...
“…. We shall thus spare ourselves much severe and fruitless labour, by not expecting from reason what is beyond its power, or rather by subjecting it ...
Kant does in fact claim things do exist outside minds, and that necessarily so. In fact, there are two arguments in affirmation of it, concluding from...
Here’s the overlooked part of the whole ding an sich dichotomy: the thing of perception, or appearance, is the thing of the thing-in-itself, the only ...
Ehhhh….I dunno. Immanent/transcendent relates mostly to understanding. Understanding is the faculty of thought, so immanent/transcendent relate to the...
It is the function of understanding/judgement, to as closely mirror the thing as it is in itself with the thing as it is represented in us. So….not by...
Immanent isn’t contrasted to transcendental. What I mean by immanent is that which concerns understanding in its considerations of possible experience...
While this is in accord with Kantian T.I., there is nothing implied therein having to do with negative knowledge. “Impossible to know”, or, knowledge ...
Cool. All I’m saying is for the guy that thinks up….conceives……a thing, then for him to be presented with an argument implying he didn’t think it, mig...
Strong argument against the conceivability of p-zombies? How can there be one, when successful arguments affirming such conception have been given? St...
Correct. Logic being the rules by which the relations of contents obtains. The thinking system needs content; logic, not being a thinking system, does...
That’s fine. Yours is further along in the book, whereas mine merely states the initial conditions. Now, I think that’s sorta backwards. 1.) The possi...
No one was disagreeing with that. It is the content in logical propositions by which we know anything at all. Nevertheless, it is by the form the cont...
Simply put, I mean, logic is a method for examining critical thought in general, in the form of…..for that critical thought which is constructed logic...
If you fill in the contents, doesn’t that imply there isn’t any? That being the case, isn’t that exactly the same as logic being contentless? Logic….....
After all the observable physical determinism, the speculative metaphysical reductionism, all the chatter and nonsense, the otherwise unexceptional hu...
That the book will lie to me is not a supposition of mine, insofar as I’m categorically informed of the inevitability of it beforehand. The book telli...
The Universe is a self-contained system without external influence, which serves as the criteria for a conception, in this case, autonomy. Upon stipul...
Think of me as one of those two ol’ Muppets in the balcony, nodding knowingly to the other, says, “BRILLIANT!!!” But alas, there’s an unstated determi...
If I’m looking in a mirror, regardless of what I perceive in the seeing, there is a phenomenal representation given to my intellectual system. This is...
Not what I’m arguing; THE self is a valid general idea, having a myriad of representative conceptualizations from various ways of being understood. MY...
And from mine, I find much more parsimony in the notion my self is affected, or, which is the same thing, I am affected. To be affected by my thoughts...
I wasn’t being so general, meaning only the self by my comment. See below, if you like. ———— Which gives rise to my comment. That which is trying to s...
It’s almost incomprehensible that there must be that which is affected by itself. How can it be asked about a thing, when the very thing asked about, ...
Oh. My fault then. Sometimes I get too analytical. Preferred implies intentionality, but there’s only one way to think, within the confines of the leg...
Hume’s dilemma, and a logical snafu: it is impossible to both structure, and be derived from that which is structured. Build a house with boards, and ...
Oh, I certainly do, but there’s no damage done by it. Different strokes and all that, right? Is it a precept or some kind of general rule of phenomeno...
(Sigh) Overlooked, or outright dismissed, is our brief exchange on pg. 14, re: brain/appearance. Pretty common knowledge the brain has no nerve ending...
Absolutely. Concur 100%. You’ve considered a certain authority’s philosophy as wrong in at least a particular instance, which makes explicit you’ve th...
D’accord. The analytic dudes got ahold of it, sent it off into the metaphysical puckerbrush. As do I, re: perception. Every perception is directly rea...
Might I rest assured you’re familiar with the so-called “dual aspect’ vs “dual object” theory, regarding transcendental philosophy, or theories of per...
No brain has ever been a phenomenon to the subject to which it belongs. The only brain that will ever appear to me, is someone else’s, and even if I i...
To the extent I have a problem with indirect realism, is reconciled by distinguishing the operation of the cognitive system, in and of itself, on its ...
Yeah…hence the closing comment I made to Wayfarer, re: the intrusion of clinical psychology. No such thing as self-knowledge. It’s a catch-phrase mean...
