Far FAR too many -isms and their respective -ists for me. So if no position on the mind-body problem is plausible, and substance monism is a position ...
Thanks. As in, “…. the thesis that the universe is fundamentally mental….that all concrete facts are grounded in mental facts….”? Substance monism ari...
It is a method, a type, of reason, of thinking, by which, first and foremost, the possibility of synthetic a priori cognitions are proven. Subsequentl...
I suppose transcendental to experience just means has nothing to do with it. Transcendental merely indicates a method of reason, and is always a prior...
If #1…..not so sure a reality is a collective representation. If #2…..real, and indeterminable. If #3….that object which appears to us is determinable...
“…. The schema of reality is existence in a determined time….” “…. For I can say only of a thing in itself that it exists without relation to the sens...
Everything I said here seven hours ago, doesn’t relate to the content of the post it was in response to. You did some serious editing, I must say. Any...
Be that as it may, isn’t the prerogative of intelligence, insofar as it deems truth to be a valid idea, to determine what it does depends on, from whe...
On the existence of something, agreed. But it does seem as though truth must depend on something, and absent mind and matter there is probably nothing...
“…..The transcendental idealist, on the other hand, may be an empirical realist, or as he is called, a dualist. (…) A370a The transcendental idealist ...
Not to take sides, but the question in this….. ….is not supported by the answer, unless time is to be considered an empirical matter, a contradiction....
Agreed. Who what ask? Inferences as to what it might have been like without them, abound, now that there are percipients that do ask. That’s fine. Spa...
Ha!!! Saturn isn’t even thought about absent its rings, but there was a time when it didn’t have any. And I seriously doubt quarks are actually colore...
Deontological moral philosophy mandates compliance to a moral law, which is the same as there being a universal moral truth, that if one adheres to th...
That’s technically a logical inference, hence certainly not independent of human experience and judgement. Nevertheless, with this, you’re attributing...
Ok, close enough. There certainly are justified universal claims, but there are no justified universal claims independent of human intelligence. I mea...
That’s not what kills the definition. Independent of human understanding, in the original post’s wording, does. But I see you’ve added the qualifier l...
That’s fine, but with respect to Kant, from whence this exchange originated, metaphysics is a priori reasoning from principles, and the latter would a...
Dogmatic metaphysical views, and metaphysical views as an empirical science, are not supported. And the metaphysical view regarding pure speculative r...
It must be mistaken; it is self-contradictory. Twice. If it was completely separate from us, we wouldn’t see anything at all; Insofar as we do see, it...
Me: idealism not in its strictest sense….external material reality granted; You: strict idealism….external reality is material, denied. What’s the dif...
“…. In order to prevent any misunderstanding, it will be requisite, in the first place, to recapitulate, as clearly as possible, what our opinion is w...
Two cents. Or in this case….. kronenthalers. Because the topic is an objector’s misunderstanding of a “Kantian demonstration”, and without an intrinsi...
You know…the currently fashionable talk at the table. Linked herein some time ago by somebody. And, fortuitously enough, upon reconciliation of the am...
Dunno about “these people”, but lil’ ol’ me…..go back to that picture on pg 4. See that word “tree beside the object? At the same time, notice the fir...
The mechanics of any human sensory device makes the perceiving possible, being necessary but not sufficient for it, in accordance with their design al...
All that picture does is demonstrate the mechanics of human vision, from which the answer to that question is impossible, insofar as both forms of rea...
No? Then what is? And what of the notion that all thoughts are singular and succession, which implies any thought is itself a particular instance of i...
Fair, but doesn’t answer the question. The categorization of the particular according to an already held conceptual structure, isn’t the same as conce...
In keeping with the scenario, in which perception presents to the reasoning mind, it is then contradictory to deny the presentation, so we couldn’t sa...
Many favorites is a contradiction. “A Few Good Men” for its content in general, the final courtroom scene in particular for the justification of it, a...
Outstanding critique. Well-thought, and asks pertinent questions, not all of which have answers. Before itemizing responses, lemme ask ya, when consid...
In the sense that “house” includes glass, wood, metals, it does, yes. One cannot cognize without these antecedents, but one can have those antecedents...
I think it more the case we’ve been jumping around all over the place, initially talking about judgement in and of itself, whether it is false or dism...
Two different, unrelated things. ————— Starting five days ago, I said exactly the opposite. ————— Yeah, well….my true understanding of reality demands...
Oh my. A priori speculative metaphysics to a posteriori physical activity. And here we’ve switched from cognition of things, to that which can only be...
……exactly what I said, with which you were quick to disagree. ———— Never said it did. Just as relating is not relation, so too is the cause of a relat...
