One is moral or immoral only if he is alone. Otherwise, he is possibly criminal, or merely unethical, which stand as objects of moral dispositions, bu...
Cognitive disorientation: the empirical kind, a posteriori, and properly reduced, occurs when we say we know what a thing is but we don’t realize it i...
…..and yet, in order to not understand what I said, what I said necessarily must have been something that appeared to your senses. Hence, the LNC….whi...
For me anyway, the only mind-independent items are those I don’t think about, either particularly, from the lack of occassion yet for which an experie...
“…. For, otherwise, we should require to affirm the existence of an appearance, without something that appears, which is absurd….” What’s violated, ab...
Ehhhh….we use language the same way, as means to represent a favored system, one in which you find the terms contradictory, another in which I find th...
Most interesting set of comments. I’m sort of attracted to new things my old ways would like to snub but realize quickly they’re not properly qualifie...
Nature in itself? I’m not sure how you mean the concept of nature to be understood in these cases, but I personally can think of no reason to even con...
Collingwood: the only modernization of Kant worth a damn. (That I know about) Absolute presuppositions of the one, are the transcendental principles o...
….and doing it badly, first, in that the impossible is not analytically contained in the merely insufficient, and second, effect is always analyticall...
Pretty much, yep, hence….unintelligible. It isn’t a question of natural; it’s naturally-occuring. It relates to things-in-themselves only insofar as t...
“…. It is only the principles of reason which can give to concordant phenomena the validity of laws, and it is only when experiment is directed by the...
What a thermostat would be like absent human experience, is unintelligible, insofar as any named thing follows from a possible human experience. That ...
What would a thermostat-in-itself even mean? Could there ever be a thermostat that wasn't a possible human experience? The question never was - is a t...
I got a ton of unreal stuff in mine, bordering on a chaotic rhapsody if I’m being honest, all of which I’m somehow persuaded I can’t do without. Langu...
I agree it is a skimpy version of the idea, and it is a fragment of the practice itself. I was thinking to highlight the history, the origin and purpo...
No science, besides the accidental, is ever done that isn’t first thought, but even accidental science makes necessary thought relative to purpose. ——...
Ehhhhh….dialectical precedent has it that responses to a quote are subjectively more honest without the influence of the author’s name, which is often...
A bet was intended to represent the subjective validity of a belief, for which the quality of the evidence just is the degree, both of which are presu...
“…. Thus we find in purely theoretical judgements an analogon of practical judgements, to which the word belief may properly be applied, and which we ...
“…. The usual test, whether that which any one maintains is merely his persuasion, or his subjective conviction at least, that is, his firm belief, is...
For dialectical consistency, we must say that metaphysically, conceptual relations as such, represent human understanding of natural events. Words des...
All law consists of the relation of conceptions in accordance with principles. That subsumed under law is determined by the source of the principles t...
Yeah, I like it too. Or something pretty close to it. Agreed, insofar as all natural external reality is independent from us with respect to its exist...
Now that got me off on a Planck-scale research trip, I must say. Fascinating idea to be sure, but, if spacetime structure contracts to a single point,...
Be cool as hell, wouldn’t it, to find the palette idea in the marginations of the very first outline of his magnum opus? When he was, like, 18yo? His ...
The thread title and the OP refer to different concepts. The end of time and the end of spacetime can only be determinable by very different sets of c...
Nahhh….all that fits well enough. Did you keep the palette at three colors only to represent a relatively simple idea? How are the “moving parts of ot...
I understand; my point was only that the three colors in Kant don’t do what you’re suggesting. That, and, sorry, I misspoke in saying Kant would agree...
He would agree with that, I’ve no doubt. But he would not agree with “So blue represents the thing-in-itself that we can never know in its blue self; ...
Depict as to give an idea of perception in general, yeah, maybe. Under Kantian textual scrutiny, I think it does not. That being said, I have no wish ...
I would agree, in principle. A norm, insofar as it is a euphemism for some explicit rational condition, understanding is that by which that condition ...
More I’m happy to accept, given the general intent of your analogy. Shades of that “ways to philosophize” thread….I’m quite in love with dissecting mi...
Before that help is affirmative, it should be stipulated in what sense “yellow is analogous to the senses – eyeballs, ears, nervous systems, etc.”, in...
If it be allowed that scepticism as such, is, “….the principle of a technical and scientific ignorance, which undermines the foundations of all knowle...
Two cents: Given that common sense reality just means we know things as they are, my understanding of the tradition of denying common sense reality, s...
Not that there are no obscure prog rock albums from 1973, which makes the analogy works well enough, but it is rather coincidental that one of the 4 o...
Good; well-thought. I personally hesitate to use creativity regarding philosophical innovation, instead, favoring some sufficiently explanatory method...
I do, iff considered as pre-Brentano, re: late 19th century, hardly the apex of the Enlightenment paradigm. But you probably meant by “anyone here”, c...
Oh, I’m a rational-life-long, card-carryin’ dissector, to be sure. I do loves me some minutia, donchaknow, in the interest of philosophical clarity of...
Theory-ladenness notwithstanding, A99/B160 should make clear that apprehension, in the Kantian sense, has to do with the possibility of perception, an...
All well and good, perhaps, unless or until we want to know what each thing is, how it is to be known as that thing and no other. In such case, the tr...
Perhaps the missing shade of blue is a bit of rationalistic thinking? I mean, he admits, re: E.C.H.U., 2, 16, an exception to the general rule of cons...
