Agreed. You can’t blast an idea over the centerfield wall. And you can’t call a thing round without the antecedent idea of what a “round” thing must b...
Nutshell: the Kantian transcendental is that which is purely a priori. Anything purely a priori is an object created by the conscious thinking subject...
Kant uses many and assorted (distorted?) descriptors for reason, but doesn’t posit or indicate that “reason transcends nature”, so I wonder what he wo...
Of course they’re different, but their differences have nothing to do with evidence. Rationality: the use of reason according to principles, the judge...
Oh, I would think there is. It is quite justified to not fault the method, when it is at least possible, if not probable, the use of it is the sole an...
Skepticism regarding the contents, or the objects, with which the method may be concerned, is hardly the same as the skepticism directed at the method...
All the incremental objects of the nature of an AI remain an AI, but the thesis on rationality implies a methodology better than, hence necessarily di...
Empty, in that neither has a specific object of their own by which they are identified. There are no schemata for the concept of ontology nor metaphys...
Nothing irreparably wrong with most of that, but the point is being overlooked, in that the original PC claims knowledge is impossible. Knowledge here...
If we think of perceptions as affects by objects giving us sensations, I don’t see how we can be not conscious of them. And by the same token, if ther...
I say....pretty much agreeable, with the exception that in math there is not complete freedom, insofar as any mathematical structure must adhere to th...
The latter would have been my idea as well, with the antecedent indicating criteria themselves imply a system in which they serve as operative conditi...
A logical argument ends as merely a worthless sophism, when the means to create it necessarily presuppose the very impossibility it is meant to demons...
My modus operandi as well. Although, I admit to getting a little.....er, wordy sometimes. Most of the time. Almost always. Ok, but if you do that, doe...
If by “listen” it is meant to exhibit conscious attention, then by definition it is impossible to pay attention to that which is sub-conscious. ————— ...
“....But as to metaphysics, the miserable progress it has hitherto made, and the fact that of no one system yet brought forward, as far as regards its...
Yeah, me too. Particularly the reference authors and their respective literature. Bergson (French, early 20th century analytic process philosopher); C...
Absolutely. All the good stuff is complicated. Which is most likely why it’s often rejected by those not willing to work that hard towards a possibly ...
I must say, you have really good arguments.....but a bigger really....is the fact that the vast majority of humanity to whom abstract concepts apply, ...
So what happens when empirical conditions occur, in which the proof of such logical transformations goes against experience? Shall we then find that t...
You said philosophy gives clarity rather than knowledge, phenomenology is a philosophy, so gives clarity to phenomena. Kantian phenomena are stated bu...
That’s a pretty fair elucidation of why I never got into phenomenology, in that post-Kantians developed a novel thesis around the notion of phenomena ...
I suppose I can live with that. If morality stands as personality regulation, in which I do care about others, so then would amoral stand as a persona...
Yo’ Eddie....help a brother out, wodja? “....Alone, listless Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room Young girl, violence Center of her own attenti...
Just like practically everything else....there may be two sides to this coin. Given that a man’s primary, unalterable and final consideration is prese...
Granting that there are no rules covering the cases themselves, which implies an inductive approach, there can still be rules from a deductive approac...
Oh. Hmmmmm....so it is possible to un-ring the bell. Yeahhhh-no, it isn’t. Sorry. Wait. That was probably tediously analytic, wasn’t it. Never mind, t...
I don’t find banality; your position seems rather commonplace. In the Good Old Days, such would be called “vulgar understanding”. Plain to see why we ...
So I should act according to what won’t piss you off (or will please you), rather than doing what I think best? What about the fact I may not know wha...
As you are entitled. So, what....being true to one’s self is meaningless, or, being true to one’s self is a valid concept but just needs a different n...
Which reduces without contradiction, to.....the human condition is about making choices, the consequences of which are unknown. Humans do choose, and ...
Agreed, at least for this part. “What I want to see happen” translates easily to “that for which I am sufficient causality”. Sometimes better known as...
Wrong question. Should be....to what ought my actions, comply? ————— Not in this neck of the woods. That to which the acts given from my moral disposi...
Hmmm.....I sure hope not. I’m ok with utilitarianism equating to the greatest good, but I reject Kantian deontology, which is technically a metaphysic...
In principle, but not without support. Hume said so himself: “...For as this ought, or ought not, expresses some new relation or affirmation, 'tis nec...
To label a non-physical function of the brain presupposes there is one. Might be more accurate to say mind is a term of convenience to label a yet unk...
