Close enough. ———————— Abstraction has multiple meanings and applications, and as much as I detest running to a damn dictionary for clarification........
Granted, but what is a model but a construct? Whether model or construct presupposes that which is its cause, which in its turn presupposes a necessar...
Minor distinction, perhaps. I consider projections of reality our expressions about it. Reality itself is that which is given to us. Reality comes in ...
Well......there ya go. I’m a transcendental idealist, who must be an empirical realist by inclusion. I support different projections of reality, but a...
Certainly, if the constituency and manufacture of your house represents the shape of the your world. Shape stands for extension of objects in the worl...
I agree experience is all we have to work with empirically, but I wouldn’t call experience “data”. I understand you to mean the thinking subject draws...
Yes, albeit contingent. Multiple sources can be authoritative differently, thus sufficient differently. ————————- No. The former has knowledge of the ...
One minor consideration, if I may. All else being equal, it is impossible to cease thinking and remain a rational agent. If thinking is necessary, and...
Truth is conditioned by thought, knowledge is conditioned by possibility; both are conditioned by time. I don’t see as one will ever be a requirement ...
“I can’t know that I know many things.” I can’t know that I know.....wait.....what????? I know I can’t know many things is a tautology; the negation o...
A naive realist has this factual edifice going for.....her, in that no matter what’s actually happening between our ears from which our abstractions a...
Oh, I suspect your smatterings and inklings are rather more substantial than you’d admit. That, or my readings of you hereabouts are grossly over-rate...
I accept your comment as stated. While I understand the Greek origins of noumena, and Kant’s intimate knowledge of the classic Greek metaphysicians, I...
There are none. The prerequisite for noumena is a kind of intuition, and by association, a kind of understanding, we don’t have. They are nothing but ...
Yeah....but it is odd. Naive realism from a psychological perspective emphasizes cognitive bias; naive realism from a philosophical perspective denies...
Understood, and agreed in principle. The basic premise remains that if we grant a distinction between how a thing appears to us and how it actually is...
You spoke before of naive realism. Are you suggesting the modern rendition naive realism, is the same as the Enlightenment rendition transcendental re...
It has been the case forever, that human reason has the capacity to think anything it finds conceivable. So said, practically every notion in the OP i...
If the mind determines what first appears, we would know everything of every experience. The simplest way to look at it might be that the mind determi...
As much as I’d like to have a good reason (I spend all my time and draw all my quotes from the 1787 B edition, in which none of that appears) for not ...
Don’t know that Kant referred to naive realism or transcendental realism; he may have used different terms for those things, because technically speak...
I reject that a fact of the matter implicates a logical fallacy. Maybe I just don’t know how to write about it fault-free. Every human ever, otherwise...
If you and I, and by association you and Janus, can agree that the term “perspective” denotes a particular attitude or opinion about a thing, and we e...
Pretty much, with a couple minor caveats: Yes, the mind synthesizes the phenomenal object, However, there is some controversy on the Kantian rendition...
Are you not being a little harsh, perhaps? If there is at least one irrefutable commonality in human reason, wouldn’t the concept, or just the idea, o...
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I’m not sure Kant outright rejects what is these days is considered a naive realist point of view, or, which is...
As you probably know, the first critique is 700-odd pages and took ten years to compose, and included in there, in order to fulfill the..... “...compl...
If you treat free will as a catch-phrase instead of an a priori conception qualified by a transcendental idea..... ........you might be a metaphysical...
“......The undetermined object of an empirical intuition is called phenomenon....” While it is true that without humans there is no phenomenal domain,...
I don’t know so much about Husserl, but I’m pretty sure Kant wouldn’t go so far as to say the transcendent is necessary for experience. ————————————- ...
Agreed. Looking back, after recognizing the empirical truth of some proposition, and then saying such truth was always the case, or the conditions tha...
Not really that much of a deal, given the Big Picture. Human empirical knowledge, that is, what we think of as true as detailed in propositions, is ab...
Wha......that was all you were trying to get across the first time? Ok, fine. At least I see a way clear of that aporia issue. Which leaves us with......
I never took you for such an epistemic nihilist. You done went and killed off knowledge!!!! Riddle me this, my good man: If the general expression X +...
I don’t care who y’are; that right there was funny. I shall not rain on your well-organized parade, but I do wonder about that aporia thing. Just seem...
The same place everything else human comes from, that isn’t fully and sufficiently biologically/physiologically explanatory.......pure reason. Yeah ye...
A week ago I wrote, “Understood, and accepted......as far as it goes.”, in response to practically the same point you’re making here. Nevertheless, I ...
Some truth values are a matter of judgement. I am well aware that “Terrapin Station” is the name of a 1977 Grateful Dead album (I owned it on 8-track,...
It does not follow from the availability of an innate capacity, that it’s proper employment is thereby given. “.....A physician therefore, a judge or ...
