This was slightly more interesting - as can be seen I highly value Harm, Loyalty and Purity /uploads/resized/files/eq/ulf8lajpfjatc4p5.png Loyalty see...
You are the one using a fiction. You rely on seeing those lines being curved in a Euclidean analogy to non-Euclidean geometry to say that they are cur...
No it's really no illusion at all. If you are a two dimensional creature living your live on a two dimensional piece of paper which is curved to form ...
Maybe theoretically, but practically, most people would not consider me libertarian. For example thinking the state should prevent the population's ac...
Funnily enough, Epictetus wasn't a skeptic though ;) What exactly do you mean by the habits and attitudes associated with wholehearted skepticism? If ...
If you look here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesic#/media/File:Spherical_triangle.svg You see straight line AC (actually a curve from our point o...
This is irrelevant though. A geodesic appears as a straight line to observation - in fact, it actually is a straight line in a curved space. Non-Eucli...
This one was actually the absolute worst in my opinion... the questions were so biased, I couldn't even answer them properly. It's like being asked if...
Well, it is clear how two material things can interact, in fact just as clear as how two ideal things can interact. They can interact because they are...
Only if you replace Schopenhauer's conception of the thing-in-itself for Kant's (in other words, only if there is no possibility for a space in-itself...
John has forgotten that the principle of causality which he presupposes in asking the question applies only to the phenomenon (empirical reality) not ...
You're trying to ask what causes the thing-in-itself to be so and so - that's stupid, nothing causes it, because causality applies only for the object...
Yes we can. Have a look here ;) it's called a convex mirror https://plus.maths.org/content/sites/plus.maths.org/files/articles/2016/Grabiner/convex_mi...
Yes you do experience its effects. And if space isn't curved, and space is an a priori form provided by the mind, where the hell are those curved effe...
Ultimately yes, hence why you experience it in time. Yes, your brain is working well in logical deductions. They are glimpses of the noumenon, they ar...
Your only other escape is to run away "Ahh but Kant is talking just about our perception" but again we do perceive non-Euclideanness in the world. So ...
But regardless, if you're not such a Kantian, then yes, if NE geometry refutes S it would also refute K. And it quite simply does as far as I see at t...
That was outlined in the OP largely and in subsequent posts That is not needed, as S's transcendental idealism can clearly be treated as independent o...
This just isn't true. You don't recognise the thing-in-itself at all for Kant. It's just a big X with no understanding of it at all. No understanding ...
Well your shallow reading of Schopenhauer and comparison with Kant is just as offtopic as your reciting to me some of Hegel's insights, however, I mig...
It is possible, if you get your lazy bums up and running day in and day out, shut down and clamp on time-wasting activity, remove hedonism from your c...
Well it presupposes bracketing it, to say the least, as it's not what is under discussion. Yes, I agree, so this discussion isn't for him, he's free t...
I disagree with this. There can be no situation where measurement would indicate that the perpendicular from a line to a point isn't the shortest dist...
How is it pertinent to the OP? The OP is "can S's transcendental idealism survive the challenge posed to it by non-euclidean geometry?" And in fact, w...
Yes. It seems to me that John is merely carrying out his personal vendetta though, with little interest to the underlying philosophy. As you can see, ...
Right, things-in-themselves don't exist then >:O How about you cite me some of Hegel's insights, as a shallow reader of Hegel I'd be more interested i...
The Will is closer to thing-in-itself than Representation as it's only conditioned by one of the categories, time, and not the other ones. However, la...
It's merely sharing what I think. I don't have to back up everything I say, especially when it's totally unrelated to the topic and a quick reply abou...
No that's not the point. The point is WHY he earns the right to property by work, which is the most significant point, otherwise it would be just a me...
No the US isn't "highly developed" it merely created a myth to rationalise its own laziness and lack of economic growth. We grow at 1%... why? Ahhh we...
This thread isn't about how Schopenhauer applies a corrective to Kant and it would entail quite a long and off-topic discussion to explain. I don't se...
Yes. But perhaps I wasn't clear. I didn't mean that space, time and causality are synthetic a prioris, but rather judgements involving them. Space, ti...
This is interesting, so fine, let's have this discussion. Let me first provide more detail on Schopenhauer. Now why is it important that space, time a...
They don't need to attack you - they'll steal your influence by becoming bigger and better and stronger than you. There's no need to hurry doing it ei...
