It’s much more than a passage. He re-wrote in B all of A95-130. That the guy that came up with all this had to re-do most of it, in the name of clarit...
I gotta say….all that follows from what you said there, fits my mindset, and I have no qualms calling myself an idealist. Certain brand thereof perhap...
Enrichment, yes; made possible at the minimum by whatever the experienced sensation is, even if judgement of the sensation remains uncertain. They can...
Well said. I, on the other hand, would un-relate experience from sensation, leaving sensation itself as a member of your levels. Experience then becom...
The thesis under duress here is perception, and the relative directness of it, given the title of the thread. The structure of cognition is something ...
On Martin: I’m fine with the naive realist’s position that the senses are that by which we are directly and immediately aware of things, but deny such...
It is assumed the thing has been at 10m for sufficient time, re: >/= 10s, given the velocity stipulation, otherwise its appearance to sensibility woul...
Kant convinces us….as much as metaphysical doctrine is convincing at all….apple is precisely and only what we do know; what the mere invented word rep...
With respect to the Kantian system for human empirical knowledge, sensibility in general is that part of the system having to do with bridging the ext...
“… In this investigation it will be found that there are two pure forms of sensible intuition as principles of a priori cognition, namely space and ti...
That nothing in the world changes is impossible; things in relation to the impossible are unintelligible. The sun doesn't rise. I don’t agree Kant sai...
Time is not a cause of sensation, thus is not a perception. What is typically referred to as the passage of time, is one of the common ways of speakin...
Time doesn’t change at all; one moment is exactly the same as every other. The changes in intuitions is from changes in perception. We perceive things...
“….The difficulty presented by this problem consists, as is well known, in the presumed difference in kind between the object of inner sense (the soul...
Individual rational beings in general implies every individual rational being, yes. Yes, only insofar as individual rational beings are contingent, an...
This just says we can think noumenon simply because we exist. With respect to the real world in general, why would anyone care that he is acquainted, ...
Understanding, the faculty of thought, the objects of which are representations, cannot think the object that is a subject, a subject that thinks and ...
I suspect you’d clearly see it isn’t, when you understand we’re talking about two completely different domains of discourse, given from two distinctly...
From the movie “Wargames”, in my best WOPR computer voice, “would you like to play a game?”. Your last is a transcendental illusion, a paralogism of p...
Yes, I know, but the thing’s identity as itself, the first law of rational thought, is not what the transcendental idea “in-itself” is about. It is re...
Since when is, or could ever be, a paradigm shifting speculative metaphysics a model? If there’s never been anything like it, what is it supposed to b...
Never said it was; perception, on the other hand, is. Sensibility, the faculty of receptivity of representations, cannot be as physiological as the se...
If the “in-itself” is to be considered as an idea, it can only be so as an act of reason, for understanding, the source of empirical conceptions, does...
It being the world; the world arises from. Ok, it doesn’t, that notwithstanding, how would it work in order to be the case? His doesn’t say, and his s...
Yes, he was. For those liking their physics complicated. You’re taking things into a realm I don’t care anything about. It’s highly unlikely I’ll be d...
Hmmm…..the in-itself is purely conceptual, as a mere notion of the understanding, thus not real, so of the two choices, and in conjunction with concep...
I think I’m ok with that. Earth’s magnetic field and gravitational field are in the same space. But the particles associated with those fields are not...
Correct, he does not want to be thought of as a full-blown idealist. He does, on the other hand, state for the record (A370), of all the idealist doct...
He didn’t believe it; he stated for the record that nothing can be known of noumena as a logical deduction in accordance with a theory he himself cons...
Why can’t two things occupy the same field without occupying the same space? If the sun’s light is a field projected from itself, how can it occupy th...
This is some good stuff, I must say. Well-thought, well-written. Two relatively minor counterarguments, if I may: One, at the beginning, where you rel...
True enough, but my response would be….my experiences are not on so small a scale. I remember reading…a million years ago it seems….if the nucleus of ...
Me: ….impossibility to know the truth of an explanation. You: …impossibility to know an explanation; Me: ….proof of an explanation. You: …absence of a...
Passage. Movement. Passage of time, movement of time, movement of an infinite immaterial. Irrational. Passage. Change. Change of time. Change of a mot...
Isn’t the mere observation of difference outside the intellect sufficient reason for its creating a relation representing that difference, within itse...
Yeah, my fault. I never should have gone so far into the metaphysical weeds, probably further than required for grasping the OP’s basic ideas, and cer...
The OP concerns itself with time. The type of objection subsequently raised, re: existential contingency of sentient beings, and therefrom better atte...
The OP and its arguments have nothing to do with the being or becoming of, hence attempts no explanation for the existence of, any kind of creature, i...
Good. In addition, time as a pure transcendental conception, is that by which logical inference is validated, and that, in turn, falsifies what is cla...
Some background: ….300 years ago, physical science, while no longer in its infancy, was nonetheless still a toddler, and of more significance than wha...
Hmmm. I guess my view would be that I don’t have one? I can’t make positive judgements with respect to spiritual states or higher consciousness, insof...
Ok, good to know. And this is what Kastrup says? Or what Kastrup says Schopenhauer says? I’d agree will is not noumena, but would argue S says will is...
I have no warrant for rejecting the validity, or indeed even the constitution, of resident consciousness in other human subjects, but I am perfectly w...
I thought about applying some pure reason to this universal consciousness idea, but….turns out…it’s too much like aspens communicating with each other...
