Except that the reality demonstrated by the sciences is only demonstrable from the very same system of conception/perception representation, as the co...
Yeah, my fault, being facetious. I’m just having trouble understanding how anyone could feel physical pain from a “faulty idea”. You said objects were...
Ohfercrissakes. Obviously, my point is your thumb will be just as wounded by a mis-directed “faulty idea” as mine is by a hammer. Wonderful. Be sure a...
Tell that to my thumb, after getting whacked by a mis-directed hammer. Doesn’t have to be an accurate representation; it is only necessary such repres...
I imagine you meant each perception is unique to the being that perceives. Yours implies a perception is perceived. Nobody perceives a perception. But...
Who’s we? You and the dog? It’s only you and the dog perceiving this thing, right then, right there, and that is one damn special dog telling you he s...
What might that be. That within which. Hmmmm….. Usually known by the name of the ordering and placing in a certain form, rather than the name of that ...
The first is correct, the second is the contradiction of it, which makes it false. That there is a thing observed is not a matter of interpretation, c...
For windows, highlight, simultaneously control/c, control/p; For Mac, highlight, simultaneously command/c, command/p. I had the same frustration with ...
Are you referring to principles, that in which resides always and only absolute certainty? Agreed on last words, generally. Thing is, Kant sets a high...
I said as much here on pg 59. He doesn’t talk about a noumenal world at all. The chapter on noumena is relatively short, in which is found that noumen...
Oh man. In the A/B 700’s. You’re diggin’ waaaaayyy down deep in the weeds. Not many get that far, and of those, fewer stay for the rewards. One findin...
It baffles me to no end, that the trivially obvious fact that there are no things as such between the ears, making representation of things a necessar...
Yeah, the argument is, empirical knowledge is required to prove logical or mathematical knowledge. But that doesn’t mean empirical and mathematical kn...
Hmmm. Sure, I suppose you could say that. Take a dinner table place setting: the space between the dinner fork and the salad fork seemingly filled by ...
Hey you!!! Returning hopes, I am. Stronger than an assertion, methinks, but not necessarily a fact? In the text, it’s simply an analytical logical jud...
In a sense, yes. An empirical sense, a posteriori. In a rational sense a priori, that which is known by us with apodeictic certainty, the negation of ...
Our space and time is not perceptual, meaning our senses do not perceive them, for that would be the same as space and time being appearances. Our spa...
As I said, I won’t stand in your way of using perfection as a relative measure of knowledge quality. I’m satisfied with the amount we know about a thi...
Agreed; no struggle. Agreed, given the conditions which make that speculation plausible. It just isn’t a Kantian speculation and to which I only objec...
Yikes!!! You done got yo’self in a whole heapa logical doo-doo. What are you judging the imperfect by, if you don’t know that by which imperfect can b...
Is this to say, in Aristotle things come with identity? Identity being what a thing is, in Kant, identity is assigned to things, not for what it is, b...
Yeah, I can see that. My response to the first would be there is no need to explain it, and for the second, we simply don’t know how. ————- Agreed. Wh...
Perhaps; you’re more qualified to say than I. If I were to guess, though, I’d probably go with “substance” in Kant relates to “matter” in Aristotle. I...
I would like to offer, for your consideration, the idea, the interpretation, that Kant isn’t talking about noumena at all. He is talking about the fac...
This is what I mean by different theories. The Kantian system of knowledge a posteriori, is twofold: sensibility, arrangement of the given, and, cogni...
Which is your prerogative. My point was simply that the two views are distinct enough from each other that they should be considered as different theo...
Not sure a whole mini-dissertation is called for here, even though I just wrote one. I’ll just say I don’t agree with Clark, at the same admitting I a...
All good; thanks for taking the time, and I did give your response the attention it deserved. Yes, first critique, and, translation used is Gutenburg’...
Given that the subject of this particular passage is Kant’s theory, it follows that in “he admits”, he is Kant. However, in A493/B522 is found…. “… Fo...
In the next paragraph of A370 is found his admission in favor of just that idealist/realist metaphysical dualism, but not because of the phenomena/nou...
Conventionally, true enough, I suppose. In the interest of systemic analysis, on the other hand, reason structures experience, at least because mind, ...
The exact difference refers to a systemic, albeit speculative, purely logically methodology for human thought. Classical predecessors: humans think; K...
Well said, except a minor quibble, if I may: Knowledge of objects, which just is experience itself….is grounded in the possibility of conforming to… E...
With respect to D'Espagnat’s thesis on, as you say, “…‘reality beyond/before phenomena' has its own structure that is 'veiled' for us (and by studying...
Question: how do you arrive at…. ….from…. First of all, why isn’t it “effects” rather than “affects”? But most of all, the second doesn’t say anything...
From a purely speculative metaphysical perspective, bottom line is, one’s decision on his relation to himself follows necessarily from whether or not ...
https://www.bing.com/search?q=veil+of+perception&form=APIPA1&PC=APPD ———— That’s given; there’s no knowledge in a given, arguments from Plato and Russ...
Of course not; that’s self-contradictory. I’m saying the method by which things in particular are known, re: the system, in whichever form it may have...
To get to the bottom, though, it might be closer, to say morality is that by which one decides what his relation to others ought to be, irrespective o...
