You found your answer. But you make the distinction: Here is why: Thinking without what is thought is an empty concept. ? We did not think about QM at...
You have mentioned this several times, as if it confers a kind of authority. What is your degree in philosophy? An AA or BA or equivalent. Surely if i...
A good example of Nietzsche's irony: Nietzsche said he is a complete skeptic when it comes to Plato. Nietzsche’s perspicacious reading of Plato is ins...
Wittgenstein attempts to draw the limits of thinking through its expression in language. What lies on the other side of those limits, what can be show...
There are a few things touched on here in Francesca Stavkakopoulou's "God: An Anatomy". A few key points,(pages 386-387): As the pantheon of gods shri...
This assumes the very thing in question.Esse est percipi is a supposition. I see no reason to assume that existence is dependent on the existence of s...
What are you talking about? There is no unstated premise in the distinction between seeing what you eat and eating what you see. Either you eat everyt...
Are you claiming that Hegel made the Heideggerian distinction? He distinguishes between pure being and determinate beings. Pure being is not. Of cours...
I almost forgot "Todd the Polka King". Here we see both T and D. Some pronounce this Dot. This has caused a great deal of confusion because he had a s...
I am not going to bother addressing any of this again. Your tenuous connections sinks under their own weight. More importantly all of this is nothing ...
Isn't he the guy that is all over the internet and youtube? Shouldn't that disqualify him? Are you a closet internet plagiarizer? And yet, he remains ...
Grampa Joe: Does the scientific discovery of dark energy logically reveal an omnipotent power at work? Grandchild: Can you tell me what you think dark...
A theoretical particle is by definition thinkable. To theorize is to think. You shift from 'thinkable' to 'observable'. Thinkable, in the context of R...
The more you attempt to dig yourself out of the hole you dug the deeper down you go. It follows from your claims that the sun covers "himself" with li...
I wonder if there is a connection between an increased emphasis on the difference and distance between man and God. Is there a parallel between the in...
You fail to see your mistake. It does not follow from the claim that we pursue the good that the good is whatever it is we pursue. A little help from ...
Things that were not thought of until X point existed before X point. Can we know that there will be an X point for everything that exists? I don't se...
Right. The universal is unity of the immediacy, direct and unmediated, of knowing and being, of knowing and for knowing. (Preface to the Phenomenology...
One problem with this is that Jesus died on the cross. Angels don't have bodies and don't die. But as you said earlier: I think this is part of the st...
That may be, but the concepts of QM and relativity are not found in Hegel. Thinking is not Hegel's concepts of thought. Our thinking in terms of these...
That is what I had in mind. A son of man is also ambiguous and fertile ground for imagination. The imagination has always been an essential part of th...
How could this emergence happen if nothing happened before we emerged? Obviously we could not say something must have happened if we had not happened ...
This is an important point. Confluence and influence. Various stories and beliefs that are for one reason or another embraced, are embellished, altere...
Do you think nothing happened before there were humans or something else that was able to discern change? There is no color grue because 'grue' is a w...
It could not "perfectly well have meant" that. If it did then either the sun speaks, and walks, and gets angry and has hands and face or these things ...
Perhaps I misunderstood you. I took the undecidable question to do with whether viruses are alive. The division between living and non-living is probl...
Not dogs as a category but dogs having "our categories of thought". Neither the dogs or us need the categories to taste the difference. Change happens...
But to note that a dog can taste the difference between cheese and carrot does not mean it's mind: You got here by arguing that things: You now expand...
This is a difficult question for me to address for two reasons. First I really do not know much about it, which may have a lot to do with the second r...
Consider the problem of false messiahs. During the messianic age there were many who claimed or were claimed by others to be the messiah. And many who...
My dog can see difference and smell difference and taste difference. Is her mind wired with Kant's categories or some other a priori categories? Parme...
But that does not mean that everything we do is good. That is an assertion. One that is wrong and is not supported by Plato. Sin is fundamental to Chr...
Do we see things differently according to a priori categories or did difference become a category as the result of seeing differences? Kant claims the...
Perhaps what we have been through means something different to me than it does for you. I can think of nothing that we have been through that would pr...
You have got this backwards. They do not conform to a priori categories of thought. It is, rather, that thought was forced to change to accomodate wha...
If your interest is in being argumentative, I am not interested. If your interest is in trying to understand views that differ from your own then you ...
The divisions are a way of referring to things that existed prior to anyone thinking such things exist. Whether you think the very small and the very ...
The problem is not with thinking that which is not, although more on that below, but with the assumption that what is is limited by what is thought. U...
