As in Weltanschuuang The world can also seem to be a physical reality.
April 17, 2019 at 05:26
Very true. I have just been experimenting with the two concepts dialectically, regarding them as major categories of existence. And I am aware, this h...

Not necessarily ... In the aesthetic, the individual is immersed in the world as it seems. And, within that immersion of seeming is where the knowledg...
April 17, 2019 at 04:59
Sorry for my lack of clarity, I meant "appear" in the sense of seeming, rather than seeing. Excellent point. So the the judgment of taste implies a mo...

Thanks!
April 17, 2019 at 04:12
Indeed, but they are not descriptors as much as they are categories of thought
April 17, 2019 at 03:51
I agree that is what the ethical becomes when framed aesthetically, but I disagree that the aesthetic is more immediate than the ethical since it is a...

These can only provide approximations, relative truths, contingent knowledge, reductions in uncertainty...I would add. I would also use the word quasi...

The aesthetic is the world of appearance (qua. how things appear to be) , and appearance is illusion. But it is the sphere most occupy in their existe...
April 17, 2019 at 03:07
What is the good however? Neither the individual nor appearance is in a position to determine the good as a truth. So this nessecitates a teleological...
April 17, 2019 at 02:01
I consider the aesthetic and ethical to be antithetically related. The aesthete has no concern for ethics. And, once he enters into the the ethical st...

Very clever

A command economy is not necessary for the existence of massive corporations in a healthy society, regulation has proven itself historically (e.g. the...
April 16, 2019 at 23:43
You might be onto something, and it's a pathetic excuse for philosophy, but an acceptable excuse nevertheless. More like every paragraph he writes in ...
April 16, 2019 at 18:54
Look how far you have to go to explain how society is a natural phenomenon. I can't even say that seeing is a natural phenomenon because that is essen...
April 16, 2019 at 11:38
Then it follows that technology is a natural phenomenon in which case... More transhumanism
April 16, 2019 at 11:30
That is not true, language is a societal phenomenon, sight is a natural phenomenon. But talking about it and the thing in itself are two different thi...
April 16, 2019 at 11:25
Personally, I'm not a big fan of the doppelganger theory, I feel it devalues the worth of individual responsibility. But that is treading into the eth...
April 16, 2019 at 11:06
Roflmfao!!!! That means: what qualifies as a subjective fact cannot qualify as an objective fact, and all concepts that fall under the category of sub...
April 16, 2019 at 10:38
I could agree, but then I'd have to go further, and say they are qualitatively opposed and categorically incompatible
April 16, 2019 at 10:32
I never heard of that, thanks for the lead I must say that bears well for eternal return, in the metaphysics sense. And I am a lover of fate, so I'm a...

Perhaps, if extraordinary language can move ordinary people, ordinary language will move extraordinary philosophers
April 16, 2019 at 10:10
I could do this forever. But I'm not committed to any one perspective, except for one single one, but I don't know what it is. The point of all this s...
April 16, 2019 at 10:05
We also must consider whether or not, or how, subjectivity might be affected by such a horrifying phenomenon as multiple Merkwurdichliebes existing ac...

The question is, what arrangement of atoms are present this instant?
April 16, 2019 at 09:47
No, in time the possibility is there, but this instant, I don't see it happening.
April 16, 2019 at 09:45
Permit me to experiment with time as concept. Time, regardless of the past and future, only operates within the present as the moment. Time as it is s...
April 16, 2019 at 09:44
That would only be true if you were infinite. The universe being infinite would only mean its properties are inexhaustible. Yes...
April 16, 2019 at 09:14
Is the universe independent of time? If not, then the universe is finite
April 16, 2019 at 09:09
Did someone get kicked in the balls?
April 16, 2019 at 08:59
Exactly, and your descriptions are right on
April 16, 2019 at 08:57
Flies you mean? (Edit: Lol)
April 16, 2019 at 08:47
I laughed (But you have taught me never to embellish my jokes, its lame)
April 16, 2019 at 08:45
Tcha!
April 16, 2019 at 08:40
And, what are you here talking for if you have accepted lord wittgenstein's great decree, Don't believe too much in authority, you'll get taken.
April 16, 2019 at 08:37
Oh, so this is just and evangelical attempt at conversion, how lame
April 16, 2019 at 08:35
Then what's up with your sick desperation in trying to convince everyone.
April 16, 2019 at 08:34
That doesn't necessarily mean that Witgensteinian philosophy (or ordinary language philosophy - OLP) will clarify things any better. For all we know, ...

A man's rights movement sounds awfully feminine
April 16, 2019 at 07:55
I reviewed everything (goddam it was excruciating), and now I understand what Janus was saying. And it is clear that you occupy the position described...
April 16, 2019 at 07:37
I'm going to review everything you have said and break it down. Standby
April 15, 2019 at 23:40
That's just it, you haven't made it clear, and you saying you "made it clear" doesn't mean you have done so. And that is why you find everyone challen...
April 15, 2019 at 23:08
The problem: your definitions of subject and object are whack, lame, played-out doo doo. They have only confused things.
April 15, 2019 at 22:51
But your definitions are weak and shoddy, and most people here appear to find them unacceptable for an edifying philosophical discourse. So they been ...
April 15, 2019 at 22:34
I think that is a very accurate statement. Afterall phenomenology is a response to the critical errors of empiricism. Phenomenology begins with the im...
April 15, 2019 at 22:14
But folks like you and banno haven't sufficiently demonstrated that your position is superior to others, and until folks llike you do, it's fair game.
April 15, 2019 at 21:37
This point should be emphasized.
April 15, 2019 at 21:09
...just rhyming
