D’accord.

I posted one quote concerning the “pretensions of the schools”; treat it as you wish, hopefully in context. Depends. If the topic has empirical predic...

Of course; whatever is said is first thought, yes. If you prefer, so be it. I do not. Mind is a human construct given from pure reason, subjectivity b...

First, anything I say wouldn’t be purely subjective, that being reserved for what I think. Second, for whatever I say, the use of it by others is up t...

I kinda sorta favor the groundwork you’re laying here. Objective reference point for statements with empirical predicates would be experience; objecti...

Production of a truth, which must always be in accordance with principles, is necessarily a priori; the production of the proof of a truth, which must...

I hear ya. I read everything but little interests me. Yours caused me to question my own interpretations, which is fine, Kant being the decent challen...

Boy howdy. That damn “in-itself”.....talk about a rabbit hole. So fundamentally necessary in the groundwork, so commonly mistaken in the dialogue. I c...

The theory concerns humans in general, and how experience relates to knowledge. As such, it doesn’t matter what it is we know about, but only how we g...

Weighty indeed. 25 years, four volumes, 1600-odd pages, being groped and pawed over ever since. Throw in half-dozen semi-conflicting translations........

Yeah.......think I’ll get right on that. It’s been real.

Hmmmmm..... So you’re saying theories concerning knowledge in general, depends on knowledge of particulars. Makes me wonder....how can we claim knowle...

Speculative.

You know.....I love a good Socratic, and even a somewhat Hegelian, dialectic as much as the next guy. Being from two distinct metaphysical paradigms p...

Of course. The ambiguity arises from using Aristotle to qualify Kantian methodology, which just ain’t gonna work. “....A philosophical system cannot c...

It has already been agreed, that any content of a thought prevents all other content for that thought. This is a necessary prevention, because its neg...

Ahhh...I didn’t read far enough. My bad. So yes, I can distinguish objects by their respective representations, without words. Yeah....I leave the “wh...

Honestly now, when you see a dog, do you really use words to tell yourself what you just saw wasn’t a cat?

They don’t. Instinct is innate and automatic, cognition is developed and reactive. Ok, no problem. Everyone is entitled to his own seemings.
