Interesting video, so thanks for that. We don’t really know the limits on our capacity of knowing, for to grant that we even have a limit, we may then...
I would agree with your impression, in that WE....humanity in general....have no conscious need of TII. It is only metaphysics, and that only under ce...
Not so much dealing with, or related to, but determination of. It doesn’t, truth being nothing but a human epistemological cognition a priori, whereas...
HA!!! Yeah....pretty hard to think of a trash can as a thing-in-itself, n’est ce pas? I mean, we built the damn thing from the ground up, so why would...
Philosophically relevant, but try telling Mr. or Mrs. Suburbia that thing just put on the curb isn’t actually a trash can. Even his media-crazed Gen Z...
Not sure what you mean by apprehended here. That something can even be perceived requires that thing to be of such a nature we can perceive it, sure, ...
I wouldn’t agree he had to postulate it; it falls out necessarily from a logical/representational cognitive system, under the assumption, of course, t...
Yep, seems right. That would fill the niche of that which doesn’t depend on us. I’m going to assume you mean the given is shaped by us, and not that t...
Whatever gives rise to our considerations, insofar as they belong to us, and given the inconsistency among us, must be as much ours as the considerati...
As is plain to see, I made no mention of, nor did I mean to implicate, the mere sensation of the taste of a thing, with an aesthetic feeling of like (...
Trust me....not a single one. The sole relevant criterion, in this case, is....that hair style’s affect on my inner sense. Technically, my subjective ...
They aren’t, likes and dislikes alike .......see what I did right there??......are the objects of judgements. They are that to which the judgement per...
This is a confusion of what I said, but can be clarified somewhat, in that it is entirely possible that aesthetic judgements are not comprehensible at...
Wouldn’t matter either way; it’s beside the point. And that’s the point. In light of our experience and understanding. But I understand what you’re sa...
They’re not all that different; they’re only different in two ways. Of course they do. Aesthetic judgements switch at the drop of a news cycle, or the...
Yeah, that universal consciousness, mindful matter nonsense has been around as long as man has succeeded in persuading himself toward contradictions. ...
That’s the very trap I referred to. If it is the case that the human system operates on logical structure and conceptual shaping, it then becomes the ...
The whole dialectic I’m involved in concerns perception, so I’m not sure what you’re asking. No one ever senses “me”, and nothing sensed is ever “made...
Yes, overall, but not initially. By the time we get to the experience of molecular structure, trees, as such, are already presupposed. Experience of c...
Yes, for their proofs, their empirical validity. Not for their construction, which are merely logically non-contradictory. Logic alone cannot teach us...
Yep. Think about it. What was it before it was a tree? And that thing, why is it a “tree” and not some other named thing? That thing always was a thin...
Working from the proposition, “present via us....”, internality is not only helpful with respect to theoretical predicates, it is absolutely necessary...
Before cognitive workings, yes, we could say that. But if the prime human pursuit is knowledge, to say that and include the cognitive workings, we mus...
But if you follow this out to its logical end, that which is present via us, can only be because of us, which makes the collaboration internal, elimin...
Depends on your chosen epistemological theory. Your eyes don’t tell you there’s a tree, they only tell you there’s an object. If your eyes don’t tell ...
A list of the uninvited? ————- Perhaps, but then comes the notion that we are necessary causality for empirical realities. And if subjectivity is true...
We don’t need to go directly to those grounds. They come to us, as undetermined, but determinable, somethings, by means of perception. We can’t know t...
Yes. The representational cognitive system intrinsic to the human condition, writ large. Really difficult to theorize, or even speculate, its negation...
I had one all written up, it I couldn’t access proper references to support it. I have some books by Russell, just not pertaining closely enough to th...
Ok, that’s fine. Russell is saying the development of a certain point of view for the distinction between mind and matter, gives an illusory result. T...
For the record, I wasn’t offended, and I didn’t consider the tone flippant. It is my contention that the quote you used, “...be wholly still and alone...
In keeping with the times, circa1793, fifteen thousand words to say, the good man already has what religion prescribes, the bad man already rejects wh...
Interesting, so....thanks for that. “...We enact a self in the process of awareness, and this self comes and goes depending on how we are aware....” (...
So.....I am not if I do not experience? Or, I am iff I experience? IknowIknowIknow.....it’s just me, but I find it quite absurd, that just because “I”...
