Yep. Better hope so, especially if you’re on an intercept course with one. ————— The idea that reason doesn’t get you there faster is quite likely wha...
Hey....... One of my very favorite opening salvos in philosophical discourse, Hylas to Philonous: “....I was considering the odd fate of those men who...
Chomsky??? Really. Boys and girls.....here’s proof of what not to do if you want to be understood in your speech acts. Now, please, don’t bother askin...
Agreed, but I submit the formal predicate logic they use to deconstruct thought, is not the Aristotelian syllogistic propositional logic used to const...
What need does an example serve, when the truth of a proposition lays in the fact the negation of it is impossible. If a proposition must be either tr...
Truth be told, the root is in language use itself, and the supremacy I think falsely allotted to it. Case in point.....it may be that the world is tha...
Agreed, that this can be both dangerous and foolish. Is this a general cautionary statement, or have you witnessed an occasion where such pretension i...
I think there’s some confusion here, things aren’t relating to each other. I was talking about my gripe with analytic philosophy, in that it answers q...
Yeah, I’m fine with that brief. Personally, I would then ask, if science solves the hard problem by relating the physical mechanisms of brain to the m...
No. 10m separation identifies an unoccupied space, but does not identify the objects the unoccupied space presupposes. No definition of identity is re...
True, but it does nonetheless. The significance being, the setting of limits of human knowledge, the limits being, not the world, but ourselves. It do...
Interesting read here, in that they may be kindasorta equally difficult problems, but they are certainly not the same problem: http://cogprints.org/16...
So how many scientific laws should we need in order to understand the philosophically pure general law “all objects are extended in space”? Science: r...
Yeah, the subtleties and intricacies that make it so are usually overlooked, or dismissed outright, by the common sense realist opposition, because th...
I’ve always been under the impression that’s exactly the opposite of what “as it is” implies, which technically expands to “as it is in itself”. Becau...
Nothing you’ve said is sufficient to prove a mistake. Not to say there isn’t one, but nothing this comment is in response to, serves the purpose of de...
What the world was before us is different from what the world is with us, because of us. That does not say anything about what the world depends on. W...
That actually is quite interesting. The world as it is does not necessarily imply observation of it. Just sitting there, all by itself, whilin’ away t...
Agreed, atomism was the extent of empirical reducibility, the unconditioned having far broader extent than mere individual substance. Yep.....just lik...
In philosophical discourse.....not that I know of. But then, I don’t hold a lot of respect for current philosophical discourse anyway, so the idea mig...
Not so much in support of capital T truth, which I hold as impossible both from inductive inference and the limitations of our own system of knowledge...
The conscious and otherwise rational human thinks constantly, and reason is thinking in accordance with rules. Except for pure reflex or sheer acciden...
Very old-fashioned view indeed. Which just goes to show they got the basics put down right early on. No matter what the human learns about, the intern...
You mean from your “Mechanics.....” account as it stood three years ago? Evolution of thought is not unusual of course, but B.) of mine, above, is fro...
A.) B.) I’ve examined that part of your corpus that appeared interesting to me. Are mental correlations mental activities, and do mental activities re...
None of that has to do with the Kantian philosophy pertaining to consciousness, even if it does have correlations to Kantian philosophy pertaining to ...
Because it’s Schopenhauer, it is classified as transcendental, which is a metaphysical rendering. And it isn’t a concept of his will, but his concept ...
The subjectivity being understood as an object, is the conception of subjectivity in general, the distance, as you say, I must try to take. It isn’t m...
No, I do not. There might be an apple give-away that day. He might wish to piss off his boss. While I may need to understand monetary exchange is the ...
Correct, and its name is intuition. Correct, there is no need to fully report on an experience, but only the need to report enough to demonstrate unde...
Sure, but all those are amendments, qualifiers, if you will. Changing the conditions. You’re not wrong, just that such amendments are inadmissible wit...
Yes. Look to the use of the stuff of categories in order to do things. In your view opposed to this, in what manner do you come up with numbers, witho...
Good. Now we can remove the ghost of anthropomorphism from the dialectic. I just needed assurance, if not actual verification, so....thanks for that. ...
Us and our accounts are not the dichotomy, they are the same thing, in that the account is contained in us. An account is, after all, merely a judgeme...
True enough, but in context, the discussion concerns not people in general but a person in particular, in relation to another person in particular, wi...
How are those two assertions not contradictory? —————— I don’t think they play a role in our experiences, but necessarily play a role in the expressio...
Can’t they be subjects or objects of propositions, hence contents of them? Or can propositions not have content? Yes, always, with the caveat that cor...
Not to the grocer, it isn’t. For you, the grocer is an object and his subjectivity is irrelevant to you. For the grocer, you are the object and your s...
Oh no you don’t. Check it out:. “The words you hear....” are every bit the same empirical perception as the itch, or the huge car. The sound of words,...
