I see what you’re saying, but I find it rather inefficient. According to the Old Guys, each perception generates only its own phenomenon, so a range o...

True enough, but is it not therefore logical, and rational, to claim that thinking about anything except words, would not need them? While it is true ...
Ahhh, yes, thanks. Both my guess that’s what you meant, and my assertion observational statements are not what Kant is “splitting” between analytic an...
Yeah....I don’t know what an observational sentence would be, except maybe sentences regarding observations. I hope it’s not that, because that has no...
The solution looks like some form of transcendental idealism, insofar as it uses, rather than disregards, an intrinsic logical dualism in the human in...
Mighten it be a fundamental misconception, to attribute to “appearance” the notion of “looks like” as opposed to the notion of “makes present to”? If ...
My major premise, the fundamental ground of my argument. I shall call that a win, and issue an exuberant....and wholeheartedly honest....thank you. I ...

In my view..... ......it is preposterous, bordering on the catastrophically absurd, that the totality of that of which I am aware, re: the entirely of...
Everyone has a box with something in it.....major premise; The something is a beetle....minor premise; The box might be empty....minor premise. Conclu...
But the major is not an either/or propositional dichotomy. Everyone has a box with something in it, so the box that one has, has something in it. The ...
Yeah.....about that.... “.....Suppose everyone had a box with something in it.... “.....the box might even be empty...” In what sense, given a box, ca...
I suppose. I really don’t have a trust-with-my-life kinda thing for this question. I’m stuck between what appears to be the intrusion of anti-narrativ...
CPR is all language representing Kant’s thoughts, so no, I cannot think Kant’s thoughts. But I can, and have, represent(ed) Kant’s words, thus indirec...
“....That there may be inhabitants in the moon, although no one has ever observed them, must certainly be admitted; but this assertion means only, tha...

You must mean one’s thoughts cannot be understood by another except as they are expressed in language. What else it could be is precisely what it is. ...
The only way to study anything at all, is to represent it as a phenomenon if it’s a real object, or as a conception if it’s an abstract object. But th...
Truth be told, I must admit to only being able to articulate someone else’s model. I ain’t nowhere’s near smart enough to come up with a decent, origi...
Hey..... Yeah, I read the paper, happy with it, good for some to hang his hat on, but, I’m good with what I know. Thing is....mind is just a catch-all...
True, it doesn’t. But external states are absolutely necessary for the representations (empirical) cognition does act upon. Activity herein being inte...
To study the mind presupposes it. So.....if mind is the unconditioned relative to human cognitive systems, what is there that can presuppose? To posit...
Interesting paper. Between you and I get all kinds of nifty stuff to rock my epistemic water vessel, so sincere thanks for it. “.....and he did not se...

As in Nicomachean Ethics, Bk. VI, or, Prior Analytics.....yes, though maintained pretty much intact through the Enlightenment, now woefully absent as ...
It would seem to be true, but only in relation to an intrinsically dualistic human cognitive system. But whether the basic human cognitive system is i...
“Anything that exists” is a latent presupposition. Attributing sufficient warrant to this presupposition, “determinate” is a valid inference, insofar ...
Ok, fine. It was quoted verbatim, but before my feet get held even closer to the torturous fire, I must admit the original context is in regard to the...
All good. It would be counterproductive, I think, to get into the subtleties of Kantian metaphysics. That being said, the aforementioned contradiction...
Is there any way at all, to reconcile the glaring contradiction in that statement? I wanted to bring this up the other day, but thought better of it, ...
That got a chuckle outta me, I must say. And you know me.....everything philosophical worth repeating originated in Königsberg. Agreed, in principle. ...
Yeah...I said the links were interesting, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say I agree the implications contained in them are all that meaningful. “To s...
As in....reinventing them so they can be known? Then they wouldn’t be Kant’s noumena, then, right? So it isn’t so much reinventing as re-defining. Whi...
