It is so odd, that the precursor to the human cognitive system, the mere transformation of one kind of energy into another, in a measly five modes of ...
Like Michael Corleone, “just when I think I’m out, they pull me back in!!!!” Different senses have different kinds of receptors, so what name covers t...
Oh. Ya know.....I’m in agreement pretty much down the line, these last few pages, with minor adjustments maybe. But this.....too far out for me. It es...
If perception organizes, what does the brain do? If vision data goes here, olfactory data goes there, is that not organization of data, relatively lon...
Not necessarily. Depends on who’s advocating. Dennett, 1991 holds with this, but I think it the most restrictive and the least justified. The literatu...
Introduction. I hope I didn’t mistranslated. The idea is that an object cannot be referenced in any way, shape or form, without it first being subject...
Oh. I didn’t get that from the statement. I take KK to be very far from an idealist, so I guess that’s why I didn’t make that connection. Even so, as ...
Ya know.....if reference to an object is the experience, or the possible experience, then qualia is itself a prepending, which was the ground of the n...
None..... ....iff we accuse our faculty of sensibility of proper physiological function, which is passive indifference to its input. The cognitive fac...
Yes, my point exactly. Yours is predicated on education, the qualifications above listed being more attributable to experience than mere education. On...
True enough, if one accepts that biases are innate. I don’t think I’d go that far, and apparently, neither do you, because you said, “inclined toward ...
No fair. If I’m transported to a time not my own, I should be classed accordingly. If a mere paysan I might grab a seat, if I’m a Rousseau/Voltaire-ty...
I agree thoughts and emotions are different, and I agree with your statement on thoughts. To complete, all that’s needed is an exposition for what emo...
Good, but incomplete, in that “thought” is the subject in both parts of the proposition. In a discussion of differences, a congruent proposition is ne...
Sure, but within that dualism the necessary brain/mind distinction is given, from which some relative primacy follows.......so why the question in the...
Under the assumption that doing philosophy is not the same as philosophizing, at the most fundamental level, as individuals, the consequence of the in...
Seems necessarily so. No brain, no conscious thought, right? Maybe there isn’t a need to stitch together that which is inseparable..... .....sorta jus...
Interesting. (i) asks the same as the original, insofar as there is no good reason to ask about knowledge in other creatures when a human isn’t even c...
Sorry. I didn’t mean to come off as pejorative. I was just paying more attention to the keyword “speculative”, then the subject “holographic universe”...
Could be. Some have likened “The Allegory of the Cave” as a forerunner, and that was certainly a serious thing, at least philosophically, in that thin...
HA!! Exactly right. Toss this....ok, still know stuff. Toss this....ok, still good. Toss this...still here. Toss..... Hmmmm. You’d end up tossing the ...
Oh absolutely. We can’t say what the limit of knowledge is, but we can still say what the limit of knowledgeable things is. This isn’t so much a limit...
This is correct, as far as framing perception. But perception is not representation, it is sensation, and that fully empirical. Some representations a...
Best is irrelevant if it’s the only. I hear of other system methodologies, but I don’t understand them well enough to qualify their respective values....
As in Wittgenstein? I’m not sure, and he may not have been either. But under the assumption that a hinge proposition is a proposition immune from skep...
True enough, but causality is given, insofar as it resides in the categories as a concept, but speculation on the noumenal, in departing from Kant, re...
In humans, knowledge is not of things but of representations of things. I think obviously. And furthermore, predicated solely on incident physiology. ...
It’s modernized. Therefore it’s mistaken. Hanover is the closest without mentioning Kant specifically. The footprint and the flower are Hume, not Kant...
Because the thread title capitalizes the e in Enlightenment, I infer from “what is it to be Enlightened?” to indicate adherence to the conditions give...
Who am “I”. ....which reduces to nothing more than a metaphysical object querying itself. I can say that, express it objectively, because “I” thought ...
As a way of grounding I take to mean the basis of, or, what comes first. The start. The given. It may not need to be the first thing said; the world I...
This is exactly right. The world I find myself in is the world as it is, preemptive of my considerations of it. This is also why Kant doesn’t bother w...
Yes, but pre-dating computers by a couple centuries. Such system may not hold as much sway as it did, but it is still around, and in its strictest sen...
Technically, I’m arguing from a point where words are irrelevant. To feel and to think is not to speak. To speak is to convey, or report, feeling and ...
Sure. I can imagine a person void of emotion but still able to reason, make rational judgements. I wouldn’t expect a hearty “Howdy, neighbor!” from hi...
