Lest we forget where this current dialectic came from, I submit it is quite adequate for a response to the original proposition...... ......in which a...
Instead of ending with admitting I may have misunderstood what you’re trying to say, let me begin with it. If I got it right, the following pertains; ...
Sure you may, and.....thanks. The two scenarios are too dissimilar to be compared, aren’t they? In mine, the snowball is built, destroyed and reconstr...
Yeah.......no, not at all. If I make a snowball, heave it at the barn wall and it explodes, it has immediately ceased to exist as a snowball. If I gat...
So no need of the arrow of time? There is no content expectation from pre-existence to existence, but if from post-existence to existence holds, then ...
Hmmmm.......things at rest. Things...objects...spacetime realities. That are not in motion relative to something else. From a Newtonian perspective, f...
From the time you hit the elementary school sandbox...... ......has already been established. The vast majority of humanity made it through life witho...
Simply put, all the “I” was ever meant to do, is represent the human thinking subject, and that to whom feelings belong, and then, for no other reason...
Concur, without reservation. Problem is, human understanding can be....and usually is....influenced by a posteriori conditions not of its own making. ...
Depends on the claim, yes, which we may say depends on the domain of discourse. Empirical knowledge is always contingent, so there is no infallible gu...
Couldn’t be any other way, if one digs deep enough. “....For, as the world has never been, and, no doubt, never will be without a system of metaphysic...
Yours. 1.) The possibility of crashing is not given from none other than the imagination of flying. A man imagining flying does not conceive crashing....
Our mutual dialectical precedent suggests the clash of the analytic mindset with the continental mindset presents the audience with naught but an abun...
What it is: “....Philosophy is the system of all philosophical cognition. We must use this term in an objective sense, if we understand by it the arch...
Then you got it wrong; no pure idealist, more commonly called a subjective idealist, the domain of The Esteemed Bishop Berkeley, grants the physical e...
Once more, this time with bullhorn and amplifier: We’re doing the talking, the observing, the understanding, the assigning, the cognizing, the experie...
As well you shouldn’t, your “this” being understood as the general conception “property”. The fundamental ground of properties is their capacity for m...
Because the query presupposes without warrant, that existence is that to which it is possible to belong. Logic and parsimony suggest that existence is...
It only matters when one needs to distinguish between what it means for Neptune to exist, and what it means for feelings to exist. The two are so comp...
Law of Non-contradiction. I always argue from the German Enlightenment tradition, which boils down, for all epistemological or moral intents and purpo...
[ Yes, that’s why it and the other categories is/are called a necessary condition(s). All that needs to be derived from that regulative principle, is ...
In effect, yes. My experiences are not things that exist, they are merely the termination of a rational process. Physical things in space and time are...
Actually, in accordance with the transcendental argument, it does follow necessarily. Existence, the pure concept of understanding, permits nothing el...
This isn’t mathematics; there are no empirical proofs in speculative metaphysics. The “necessary condition for the possibility of human phenomenal exp...
We find that only 1.) is true. If 2.) is true, then one of the possible changes for existence is its negation. The negation of existence is, there isn...
While the thesis is pretty good, the answers lay in what proper reason is, and, the danger for “greater functional representation” becoming too much g...
Yeah, I understand those as subjective inclinations, wants, desires and such. Dunno how pragmatism got into moral judgements though, which does its be...
First, I don’t know where the context of human values relates to the conditions of experience. If you’d said the “conditions of moral worthiness in th...
I’m arguing from the premise that the notion of quantity is not to be supposed as the abstract playground, but should be considered merely the use of ...
Maybe not so much numbers, for even the proverbial caveman had the idea of quantity and the ability to represent it to himself. I mean....who goes hun...
You: we have no means to understand them? Me: we have no means to understand them, except..... Please tell me you do actually see a difference there. ...
Therefore it is non-contradictory to say consciousness is a state of being conscious. Constantly changing states, because we’re always thinking as lon...
Even if we disregard the fact that thinking requires certain physiological attributes, and merely observe creatures in their own undisturbed environme...
Yeah, I will. Just as soon as it is apparent to me, that the mental explanatory gap in an animal with 2B neural connections per mm3*, 16B in the most ...
Hmmmm....yeah. If it can’t be proven the one was pissed because he understood “3 more than me” as opposed to just recognizing “that sorry sack of elep...
Seems pretty simple to me. If “redness” is the state of being red, “fitness” is the state of being fit, why shouldn’t consciousness be the state of be...
Lots of folks would follow suit. I rather think that Nature has its intrinsic relations, which we observe and explain to ourselves by means of mathema...
Yep. Paradoxical indeed: we think consciousness as that which that belongs to us because of our nature, then attribute to it qualities we can’t figure...
