The person uses the word to denote an entity. The person refers uses the word as an intermediary symbol to denote the thing. You are right, but both a...

this is not entirely true; there is a passive state of subjectivity (when thought is not active) and an active state of subjectivity (when thought is ...

the process is contained within the essence of the subject and does not exist independently of it. for this reason, my thoughts are contained within m...

perception involves spatial relations, self-awareness does not involves spatial relations. self-awareness involves the subjects inherent understanding...

I think that it's best to break this all down into unambiguous terms. meaning that the essence of the subject involves the formulation of thoughts; fu...

a synthetic proposition is a proposition which is not true by definition. an a priori proposition is a proposition which does not have its origin in p...

not sure what you're getting at here.

Yes, and I think that I have successfully answered this question.

circular reasoning is fallacious if and only if the subject and the predicate of the proposition in question are not co-dependent aspects of the same ...

how am I describing it if it cannot be described? if it cannot be described, how is it possible me to conceive of the fact that "memory is necessary f...

one cannot "imagine nothing" without imagining empty space. the base state of our minds is prior to and transcendent of intentionality. your experimen...

assumption.

This is inconsequential. Just because people don't think using any known formal logical method doesn't mean that they cannot think using a formal logi...

I'm not sure what this means, can you please explain? I agree. I'm not sure. I'm not that familiar with Frege. I'm not sure why people think it's nece...

Nice! I have not added this truth to my collection yet. Thank you. Is this part from De Anima, as well, or is only the bold writing from De Anima?

According to my understanding, willing is a duration-less process unless it is intended by the subject that the object of willing should remain presen...

Yes. I have had a problem with this question as well. The problem is that if there is only one Will, or rather, one Absolute Subject willing from many...

I’ve read this book too, and I really, really love it, to be quite honest. Schopenhauer, in my opinion, has the best prose of all the philosopher’s, w...

Thank you. But it’s actually already finished (with the exception of the final touches). I’ve been working on it for almost five years now and plan to...

I have read some of Husserl and Heidegger’s writings, but haven’t found much that is useful in them, especially Heidegger. His philosophy is pretty mu...

Thank you James. Isn't it funny how man, in being so evolved (in his own mind), knows nothing of the essential structure of his own mind?

No, I'm talking about a book on the essence of the mind considered in itself, that is, a book on the logical relationships between the essential compo...

Yes. they both possess the ability to think. the unenlightened philosopher is to the enlightened philosopher as the child is the educated adult. a chi...

this is an opinion. I don't see supporting arguments either. don't forget, opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one and they all stink. this is ...

You become one with absolute being, then you earn the title of "philosopher." until then, you are merely fumbling around the outskirts of knowledge be...

This is because there is a mystical experience that comes along with the path that cannot simply be discredited by words. To say that this experience ...

i think that you should come up with a new argument. but ultimately, it will doesn't matter what argument you come up with, for they will all fail bec...

You're presupposing that the subject, in its entirety, is contingent upon the brain. In idealism, it isn't. In materialism, it is (this is called redu...

you need to define the object in terms of the subject, and this is because the properties of the object, without question, are contingent upon the bra...

I will post the news here when it comes out. I've been working for about 2 years on it, and it should be about another year until I finish it.

You need to clarify your definition of "object" here. an existing object that is either spatial, or non-spatial; but we cannot equate them in terms of...

You need to change this to "entity" as opposed to "object." According to idealism, not all objects are spatially extended objects; meaning that there ...

this is true, although, this forum isn't exactly teaming with critical thinkers, so most here will probably disagree. unfortunately, today, most who h...

I'm saying that the problem lies in greed, not in capitalism, for greed is prior to capitalism in the sense that capitalism is an effect of greed and ...

Whats even worse is those who are ignorant of history altogether.The problem is that the greedy capitalists have developed an interest in philosophy i...

I love how you think yourself to be a wise philosopher, but are the first and most likely to presume (i.e. make claims to truth that you cannot even b...

some of us are living in heaven on earth, others are swimming in shit. Just because you're dead inside doesn't mean that others are.

The notion that the world is an object (presupposition), the notion that there is no soul (because you do not yet experience it) (presupposition), and...

I don't assume them, I've developed my own philosophical system and method, and that method is rooted in self-evident truths that cannot be denied wit...

The goal of metaphysics is to ascertain the a priori unchanging structures of the eternal aspect of existence, represent them using words and language...

No. My philosophy and Einsteins philosophy are not the same. He thinks that time is solely relative, I think that time is both relative and absolute a...

The past existed, the present exists, and the future will exist. The ground of being which contains and precedes all contingent beings (i.e. beings ha...

there is no opposite to being, in the present. the past and future are identical to non-being, that is to say, they do not exist, just the same as non...

I know, all actuality is born of willing, and potentiality is identical to the essence of subjectivity itself. It's common sense. Just edit one post, ...

Sorry, I'm not well versed in philosophical propaganda (i.e. postmodern philosophy). We're speaking different languages here.

That which comes into existence, comes into existence by means of a bridge between potentiality and actuality. The question is whether the bridge betw...

I don't believe that they had the technology by in Galileo and Newton's day to prove that the will is contingent upon the Laws of Nature. Even still, ...

this is not true, substance need not be spatial. to say that spirit is a substance is not to say that spirit is spatial, but this is what pantheism im...

I am not starting with truth, but with the undeniable fact that I am self-aware, which is simultaneously an object of awareness and a truth. This is b...

I deny the existence of numbers in themselves that do not denote either a qualitative or essential aspect of being. in my philosophy, logic denotes be...
