Ok. Thanks.

Good that Kant is your favorite philosopher. Thing is....the pure conceptions belong to understanding and are called categories, of which space is not...

Interesting statement. Transcendental.....what?
September 17, 2022 at 21:34
Ahhhh....the sheer joy of it!!! I’m about to indulge, so....here goes. Is this to say common sense is sufficient criterion for proof? ———- That one ag...

I’ll have to leave that alone; I don’t see how classical can be derived from nominal, but that’s ok. Also....once again.....translator’s preference. T...

Semantic content: having to do with meaning of linguistic or logic symbols. A.) neither phenomena nor noumena, as such, have to do with symbols of any...

D’accord. This notion holds even for rote instruction, such that those youngsters in their first years of schooling, by merely perceiving the objects ...

Regarding Aristotle, for those interested, and for context, see Metaphysics, 4, 1011b. I think much different, yes. “...This will be plain if we first...
September 15, 2022 at 11:34
Understood, and agreed, in principle. My language would be......errrr, shall I say, older?.....different, but the idea behind it would be congruent. M...

First: utmost respect; interesting and informative dialectic. Second: how, in the answer to “what is truth”, should that general dialectic by conditio...
September 14, 2022 at 14:00
By stipulating “philosophical research” sufficient to answer the questions, isn’t an academic answer implied? What problem? Sans debate, the problem d...
September 09, 2022 at 13:10
In seeking an answer to the question, “what is truth”, that passage says, in a modernized, which is to say, seriously overblown, manner, nothing effec...
September 09, 2022 at 11:36
Usually, conventionally, yes, but does not remain that case, in which an explanation serves as a proof? Granted, a highly restricted explanatory domai...
September 07, 2022 at 14:32
Ooooo....you sneaky devil, you. I see what you did right there. Everyone has his own presuppositions, and your chosen field of expertise aims to reduc...
September 07, 2022 at 12:42
We were warned, not to extend logic so far it needs bringing back: “....Because, however, the mere form of a cognition, accurately as it may accord wi...
September 06, 2022 at 12:30
.....just like that. Such knowledge is given immediately from that which constitutes experience, pursuant to a epistemological theory that proves what...
September 04, 2022 at 14:36
Well said. The subtleties can be finessed.....but generally, well said.
September 03, 2022 at 12:24
THAT’S what’s next.
September 02, 2022 at 09:26
I do so love being invited. It’s only later I sometimes regret it. “...The old question with which people sought to push logicians into a corner, so t...
September 01, 2022 at 12:00
Philosophically, it means that if sound reasoning supports the negation of a proposition under one set of conditions, and an affirmation of the very s...
September 01, 2022 at 11:30
While that may be necessary, it isn’t sufficient, insofar as no account is given for what the relationship is, or how it manifests, and consequently, ...
September 01, 2022 at 11:01
Ehhhh.....his philosophy is, in my view. And as a regular guy, I think he’s way too harsh on his peers, almost disrespectful. Combining the two subjec...
September 01, 2022 at 10:45
The relevant texts sustain the fact he doesn’t convolute one with the other; they are entirely different conceptions. It is those who followed that ar...
August 31, 2022 at 16:51
No. I’m questioning the OP, in which is stated, “Schop says that the narrow door to the truth is that our bodies appears to us as both external physic...
August 31, 2022 at 14:26
Perhaps someone can help me with S’s speaking of the noumenal world....or anything noumenal....cuz I can’t find it, at least in WWR, or FPSR. All that...
August 31, 2022 at 13:31
You’d think a philosopher would respond in a philosophical manner, right? At least one does, here: “....General logic contains no directions or precep...
August 23, 2022 at 21:19
Understood, and here is an assertorial judgement, insofar as “p is true” affords none other than an affirmation. I won’t agree “p” represents a judgem...
August 18, 2022 at 11:59
Simple feature...agreed. What would you say if “truth” and “false” weren’t so much attributed to judgements, but ARE themselves judgements?
August 17, 2022 at 17:58
HA!!! Sorry... I messed up. Posted a minor point I disagreed with, but that wasn’t what you asked for. I’ll have to think about it.
August 13, 2022 at 00:04
Agreed, in principle. Just depends on which act of the play......which step in the method..... is under consideration. Agreed, this time wholeheartedl...
August 12, 2022 at 23:44
I must agree. And....good series of comments.
August 12, 2022 at 12:56
....and at the very end of that “scholar” summarizing, is a get-out-of-jail-free card, or, as I already mentioned, suited himself for his own ends: “....
August 11, 2022 at 11:04
I have no use for OLP, but I have no choice but to use language, iff I wish to make a case. As I said....or maybe I deleted because I decided not to m...
August 10, 2022 at 16:10
What....you never heard the expression “thinking outside the box”? What is a culture if not a box? Being in a culture and conditioned by it, does not ...
August 10, 2022 at 12:55
Not much point, really. I am he who unabashedly “rises to the level of speculation”, you are not, by your own admission. Nahhhh. Here is the real Desc...
August 09, 2022 at 18:55
I’m far too old and been around far too many blocks to be offended by anything but the most egregious. But thanks for the sentiment. “.....it does not...
August 09, 2022 at 15:45
Alrighty then.....
August 08, 2022 at 15:24
Such is your prerogative. So what are they a product of, or, from where do they originate? How would it be problematic, if the individual writing of p...
August 08, 2022 at 14:14
The use of them is public, as a means to an end. The origin of them cannot be public, iff they are the product of an individual intelligence. That nam...
August 08, 2022 at 11:03
Yet, it was an “I” from which that notion of primordial is given. If the other way around, how come “we” is at the top of the second column of pronoun...
August 08, 2022 at 09:02
Not bad. Don’t agree with much of it, but then....I ain’t got no letters after my name, so what ta hell do I know. Some time later: it’s actually pret...
August 07, 2022 at 21:01
What’s superfluous? Experience? The remark? Doesn’t matter; I’m not interested in the superfluous. What norms; what is a norm and from whence do they ...
August 07, 2022 at 13:36
What.....you don’t? That can’t be right; you’ve already admitted to it, calling it “one and universal”. Yes it is, as are all such abstracted explanat...
August 07, 2022 at 11:56
That I make empirical mistakes relative to the eternal world says nothing about a private language nor about whatever normative reports....or even int...
August 07, 2022 at 10:26
I can be right or wrong about the world all by myself, thank you very much. So, no, I don't see it, sorry.
August 06, 2022 at 23:11
You stipulated Descartes’ cogito, so it follows from the original French (1637) Discourse on Method, Pt 4..... “... je pense, donc je suis....” .........
August 06, 2022 at 16:08
It makes perfect sense, for us, taken as a community of identical intelligences. It makes no sense for each of us, individually, with respect to ourse...
August 06, 2022 at 11:45
Short, sweet, to the point....the boon of good philosophizing. Scopes......(chuckles to self). Still, at the end of the day, I’m more convinced by my ...
August 03, 2022 at 11:51
What would the right kind of value look like?
August 02, 2022 at 12:28
Philosophy can only be done within the limits of reason, philosophizing is done within the limits of language. ———- “Its” being experience, the assert...
