That’s certainly half of it, and true enough in itself. But the concept of mind can be unambiguous if the theory of which it is a constituent is logic...
Right where it belongs. Whether or not there is an actual problem, the concept of mind, taken in its irreducible sense, is at least part of the questi...
Hmmm. How does infinite reflections in paired mirrors prove numbers are contained in Nature? If counting is a recursive procedure, the procedure itsel...
Yeah....a take-off on the old “is math invented or discovered” dichotomy. There are those that say math is ideal because there are no numbers in Natur...

I’m not going to spend much time on this, but taken in context, re: “given the two basic kinds....I await...” is a declaration of intention, not an “a...
While I didn’t technically ask a question, I was querying Tim, as to how he thought the one grounded in the other. The quote merely relates to Tim’s a...
Of course nothing can be, but intuition doesn’t have anything to do with understanding..... “...the understanding cannot intuit and the sensuous facul...

Not quite. Thought is different from sensibility, but thought is always and only tied to understanding. “....For it** is, according to what has been s...

True. But there is a ton of empirical evidence that justifies the claim no two physical objects can occupy the same space at the same time. Wouldn’t y...
Technically, in Kant, “I think” accompanies representations in intuition, but “I am” accompanies judgements. The former is the synthetical unity of se...
