Those guys.....deserving of little mention and even less respect. “...For although education may furnish, and, as it were, engraft upon a limited unde...
In general, yes. How amazing, a.k.a., fantasmagorically convoluted, is it, that because some sufficient neural network is not yet enabled, we are perm...
Again, the dualist will admonish against claims regarding insight into ourselves, for which there is a plethora of justifiable speculation, in juxtapo...
Excellent commentary. If I may...... .....I would ask, can we also say we don’t know what it’s like for our neurons to fire? Assuming, of course, that...
That’s Schopenhauer, not Kant. The use of “idea” is an earlier translator’s choice, because “vorstellung” can be and was translated as representation ...
All that intro is the groundwork for empirical knowledge, and as groundwork, we are not conscious of its operation. All that happens before conscious ...
It was, generally, until Kant, and is still, from some more modern quarters, re: Royce via Hegel. For whatever all that’s worth. I think the bottom li...
Odd, isn’t it, that realism is complementary, but idealism is not? If a thing is thought to be real, it cannot at the same time be thought unreal; it ...
Ok. Thanks. While I hold with an inherent dualism with respect to human cognition, and primacy of reason rather than mind, I think T.I already contain...
Question: what do you think belongs to epistemic idealism, that isn’t already included in transcendental idealism? If it was, it must be conditioned, ...
What is it, then, that is at least sufficient to cause the unavoidedness of philosophy? Seems to me if philosophy remains unavoidable, it is necessari...
Essence of how we think. But that aside, it’s always been my contention that fundamentally, humans think in images and feelings. Tough sell, though, t...
For any situation calling for an immediate moral judgement on your part, what......you gonna query an expert? Nahhhh......I suspect you’d agree you’re...
Maybe this is why morality is a philosophy, and ethics is a science, in that morals can have no empirical principles whatsoever, while ethics is in fa...
One notion by which ethics differs conceptually from morality: “....Natural and moral philosophy, on the contrary, can each have their empirical part,...
It’s known colloquially as the “Copernican Revolution”, although Kant never called it that. It’s found in the preface to the second edition of the fir...
Two things, both of which have been covered in these comments: One thing..... Your diagram represents a given present, called “0”, initiating a regres...
Agreed. I don’t care about time in and of itself. That which it conditions, or is the condition for, interests me. To everyone, I would think. There h...
Stuff like this: ———— It wasn’t Popper’s, it was Kant’s. And it wasn’t a challenge as much as a misunderstanding by the thread’s author, of the origin...
This is going on, and it is what the fighting’s all about, as my ol’ buddy Roger Waters would have you know. Misplaced concreteness writ large, and I’...
Good. Better. My vote for Best......maybe we cannot find satisfying resolutions until we first do something with our metaphysics. All I’ve contended h...
Ahhhh....ok, then. A symbolic proof. Thing is....that little squiggly thing at each end of the representational dotted line segment presupposes the ve...
Again....forward vs backward. The infinite series of negative integers doesn’t end with -1, it begins with it. The smallest negative integer is -1, in...
Take care. Lot’s of edits here. Depending on when your response begins, in relation to my final edit. Ever onward...... Kant is working onward, you ar...
Man, this hypothetical’s got a farging mind of its own donnit? Seems “up to the present” makes an appearance in this current iteration, which changes ...
That is how I would define it, but I didn’t use “past” in my statement. You transcribed the term into it. ———- Hence, the antithesis. Or in your case,...
Didn’t I do exactly that? Dunno what else you want. ————— If the infinite is an adjective as you say, — Mww you are using it as a noun. You used it as...
I diverge from Kant here, and adjoin Schopenhauer, re: the world as “will and representation”, in that I consider the world to be the immediate unity ...
Make of these what you will: “...A quantity is infinite, if a greater than itself cannot possibly exist....” “...The true (transcendental) conception ...
I will disagree. There is one way to think of infinity, and another different way to think of the infinite. Infinity is its own thing; all that is inf...
Limits indicates a spatial boundary. Witnessing indicates observation. To witness an object from outside its limits merely indicates observing the obj...
The world is a phenomenon, an object of experience, now that we’ve witnessed it in its entirety from outside its limits; the universe is not. If the u...
I’m not supporting the proposition, but merely stating it. The solutions to the field equations support it, which are not subject/copula/predicate pro...
Evidence that the universe is finitely existent in the past is provided by the mathematically logical necessity of singularities. If singularities are...
That’s fine; it doesn’t have to be explicit to you. I said with respect to Kant reflected in Popper, in which there is no 2.???. That the world exists...
Negative integers have a necessary originating condition, so arriving at -3 is not impossible. The totality of the series of integers is infinite, but...
You did specify the field, in your response to . But all that does is presuppose that to which the field belongs, but says nothing about what that ent...
Nahhhh. You “took up arms in a sea of troubles” so up to you to suffer the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”. Still, it would seem you had you...
