Ok, fine. The Rock....with or without hair? ———————

The c.i. Is not an application to the world; it is a command of reason, that conditions the subjective moral determinations applied because of the wor...

Categorical error: seeing a mechanical representation, an altogether empirical enterprise, is very far removed from the a priori originating cause it....

I don’t use mind with respect to thinking, mind being merely a logical placeholder having no pure functionality of its own except to arbitrarily termi...

And yours, too, re: the argument that the hard problem is defined into being so. Leave it to reason to confuse itself.

Yes, we can identify consciousness in the human object by studying how the human behaves. All that is required is acceptance that a human also “behave...

The bulbous center of the wheel cover on a ‘52 Chrysler is bigger than the entire hand of a 3yo. Souvenir fabrication, my ass.

Which is fine; that which is not primarily empirical has no business being addressed under empirical conditions anyway. Logical speculation remains, a...

Cool.

Yes, but Kantian epistemology is not so concerned. Some renditions of idealism may endorse direct perception because ideas are right there in the mind...

Yes, it would, insofar as we have no warrant to stipulate that the human intuitive, representational system is the only possible means to experience. ...

Agreed. Quality of redness is not a property; it is the condition of the property of red. We experience the property, we merely think the relative con...

Try critical self-analysis, rather than metacognition.

I don’t understand this noticing a weasel.

While I subscribe to that condition as well, it may be worth remarking that the schematic doesn’t qualify the real object perceived as having any colo...

Perhaps in some respects, but the “REMARK ON THE AMPHIBOLY OF THE CONCEPTIONS OF REFLECTION“ , A261/B316, is a 20-page destruction of Liebnitz’s monad...

He probably did, perhaps because, in the interest of a complete metaphysical system, and after positing that the understanding is the faculty of thoug...

If that is the case, why would an entire chapter be dedicated to distinguishing one from the other? “...That sort of intuition which relates to an obj...

No doubt. And that has only to do with his moral philosophy. His speculative epistemology has been professionally superseded....or neglected outright....

Ehhhhh.....you know how it is, right? Somebody’s gotta show the post-moderns how they went off the epistemic rails. Kidding. Reading a lot does not ne...

“.....Don't our internal discriminative states also have some special "intrinsic" properties, the subjective, private, ineffable, properties that cons...

So if I reject the notion of qualia, but insist my senses are generally trustworthy, I’m just deluding myself? Or maybe it’s the other way around........

So those who don’t perceive them are the ones who don’t trust their senses?

A worthy endeavor. Opening major will be important. Carry on!!

Yeah......”raw feels”....”seemings”.....are themselves modes of thought, in as much as a subject can neither ask himself nor tell himself about the “s...

Experience is a synthesis, not an aggregate. Experiences cannot be disassembled, they may only be analyzed. Beware misplaced concreteness.

Wasn’t trying to. You asked, I answered. Using my understanding. Ok, fine. You’re entitled to that. Still, the infinity of space or time makes perfect...

First a duck, then a rabbit are each seemings in themselves, yes. Easily understood. Shaded bars are not illusory seemings, insofar as I do actually i...

Ok, but some illusions are actual seemings, re: the bulging part of the checkerboard, and some illusions do not seem so but must be illustrated as suc...

So.....qualia advocate, then? What part are they playing in these illusion scenarios, do you say?

Interesting. Still, that human sensibility is susceptible to hoodwinking, is hardly contestable. Seen one constructed illusion, seen ‘em all, right?

Just sayin’ I don’t hold the same incredulity, that’s all.

Ok.

I suppose....keyword, notion. An actual infinity would have to be thought as a concept in and of itself, merely to represent that of which the totalit...

Is it, really? Where, exactly, is the illusion? Do you see A.)....you are being TOLD there is an illusion, and B.)....you are being COERCED, by means ...

I’d say mathematicians might hold with actual completed sets of infinite members, but philosophers tend to hold with the potential of infinitely conti...

Agreed, on consciousness, and understood on Dennett. Thanks.

It is impossible to know, which makes it irrational to ask how I know.

Yes, adequate, with respect to empirical knowledge. Would you agree with me, that human reason is often not satisfied with the merely adequate?

What say I? Nothing more than....... ........to keep adding implies infinity hasn't been “gotten”, and infinity “gotten” implies there is no adding, “...

Given the conditions under which the conception of infinity is thought by us, the question is irrational with respect to our universe.

The problem didn’t need inventing; it occurs immediately from the invention of consciousness itself. Not much doubt the problem has been made difficul...

I’ve appreciated methodological parallelism since James, 1890b, v1, and this book since I downloaded it 8 years ago. Good read, interesting informatio...

Proof that the grass is shorter now then it was before implies no necessity for the term “lawnmower”. Your ........is out of context.

Addendum. I seem to be running amok with them today. How about we ask it to enclose a space? If it cannot, it is a zombie.

Gotta be careful here, though. The theoretical construction of p-zombies makes explicit they must be indistinguishable from humans, but it is just as ...

I think it sloppy for anyone to use intuition as a psychological term; intuition remains philosophical, as far as my use of it will ever extend. But y...

Ridiculous, aye!! Concur, and I would add, it is preposterous to conceive of a thing missing the very attribute (e.g., conscious experience, Kirk, 200...

While I agree with that, under a certain set of conditions for the metaphysical conceivability of zombies in the first place, it is at the same time c...
