Mww

So we end up in the same place. Good enough for me. ———- Except the object is never given to the cognitive system, that being merely a representation ...

Perhaps, but not developed enough to be useful. covered it well enough, I think. ——— D’accord. ———— I would say yes, in a logical cognitive system, pr...

Yeah, which generally leads to intellectual laissez-faire....let it be, don’t bother me with the details, kinda thing.

If you should happen across it again.... ———— This reflects post of Magee’s position. It seems the norm nowadays, to put the cart before the Kantian h...

All the rest is good philosophy, so it doesn’t really matter that I can counter-argue many of its points. Because you’ve done a worthy job of self-exp...

The foregoing conversation is in reference to Kant, so..... “....By the term “knowledge à priori,” therefore, we shall in the sequel understand, not s...

I think Kant means the validity of a priori judgements are demonstrated by experience. “....The possibility of experience is, then, that which gives o...

Of course it is; couldn’t be otherwise. Forgive them, for they know not what they say. If they did, no citation would be necessary, it (the “experimen...

What do you mean by “make reality”? Something like...make reality out to be? If it is considered that the closest synonym for “to make” is “to create”...

Not all that common, but occasionally, sure., especially in the case of individual particular objects. I have no idea exactly what I held in my hand a...

Reification of metaphysical predicates with empirical principles, destroys both.

I don’t think the mind does anything, except serve as conceptual complement to “body”. Just sayin’. You know how when you need, say, a dozen boards 12...

After working on this seemingly forever, I find I can’t offer a conclusive response, because I don’t have a clear idea of your meanings of mind. The m...

Correct. We don’t have to think that math is nothing but this or that. All we need from math is the validity of it as a certain science. But we’re not...

Screw the populist flow. As my ol’ buddy R. Dubbya said, “to be a man one must be a non-conformist”. As for Kant misinterpreting Hume, if you think it...

Sure, but we’re not talking human anthropology, we’re talking a method of reason in individual human subjects. Backtracking a bit... ....which relates...

I shy away from use of “mind”, preferring to use “reason” instead. But I can work with mind, in order to be on the same page as you. Two distinct impr...

And the putting them together, just is that requirement, which represents the conception of synthesis. Maybe that is a modernized version of a philoso...

I think Hume wants it understood that the generalized relation between cause and effect is always given by experience. The principle grounding the rel...

Kinda odd, isn’t it? Hume used constant conjunction to reference the future, Kant used it to reference the past. I think you’re right, but maybe only ...

Yep, that’s what I get out of it, too. Ehhhhh...I just let it go with my sense of “in here” which is permanent, and my sense of “out there”, which com...

First off, the SEP article reconstructs what Hume’s thesis is, whereas the Kant quote represents how Kant thought the thesis at least incomplete. Seco...

,,,,and how’s that going for ya? Then you must have read this by now, although it’s in Sec II not III. “.....David Hume perceived that, to render this...

Page 2: Intuitions represent the object the feeling is directed toward. I love my car, the car I can intuit because it is an object, but I do not intu...

A saw cuts a board, a hammer nails the board to a wall. Can we use the saw to hammer the board? We are, necessarily and without exception, given exter...

These two comments of yours say different things, and the second doesn’t respond to mine. ———— I understand you said the nature of logic is grounded i...

.....in all its various and sundry and altogether private iterations.

Yeah....about that. I suppose you’re directing me to this.... We do not intuit time or space; we intuit objects in time and space. To intuit is to fol...

The whole comment was pretty good, but it all comes down to this, for which I can find no fault. As great and wonderful as human reason is, each of us...

As many other kinds as there are other kinds of brains? Other kinds of CNS’s? I’m not about to say ours is the only kind of intelligence there is, but...

Hmmmm....dunno, really. I don’t think comparisons are possible. I mean, all we have to compare with, is our own, so what we we learn from it, except w...

That’s fine, no problem. In effect, you’re dismissing, or at least disputing, the fundamental ground of Kantian metaphysics, which has been done since...

The importance of necessity resides in the condition Kant requires for pure a priori manifestations in his transcendental system. Necessity, along wit...

Hey..... I remember. I generally agree, taking exception only to your referring to “pure physics” in a Kantian context. As brought to light by , it is...

Logically necessary per se. In my mind, that translates to....what is logically necessary because it is logically necessary. What is logically necessa...

This is of course, correct given certain premises. As the saying goes, “...I can think whatever I please, provided only I do not contradict myself...”...

It is good to divide out cause in this way, insofar as attribute implies identity of an existence while cause implies the relation of an existence. In...

Edible noumenon. Guarantee that won’t sell. Hell...couldn’t even give it away. I mean....how would it be packaged? Pretty hard to shrink wrap somethin...

Possibly, of course. Just not as Kant’s noumenon.

I’d go so far as to say....objects must relate to one or more categories, cause is a category, therefore inferred causation is logically necessary for...

If he left metaphysics as he said.... “....by this critique it has been brought onto the secure course of a science, then it can fully embrace the ent...

.....and summed up in five: “...intuitions without concepts are blind...”. (As I turn the page I see already said it. Gives new meaning to.....you guy...

Oh, that’s easy. Exactly? The prime attribute of a Kantian is the recognition and development of, and the absolute necessity for, the dualism of his t...

Good that it only seems.

.....and naturalism is..... ......it does not follow that.... The metaphysical naturalist rejects that the universe is governed by natural law, re: go...

Again, technically, nothing can be known without some kind of justification, the possible exception being knowledge acquired by sheer accident, which ...

Kant describes what he means by “pure”, that being absent all elements of experience. Even if describing a priori with it, I think it safe to apply th...

The pure/impure is Kantian terminology specifically, meant to show the distinctions in what can be considered a priori. The thing with the keys shows ...

Technically here, what you know a priori is in the remembering of what you did, so the conventional iteration would be, I know I left them there. Here...
