It is touched for the Kantian if the transcendental aesthetic falls apart. For the Platonist, yes, it does remain untouched. But yet, there is empiric...
No. This is outright BS. The only reason why consumerism is bad is because it leaves you vulnerable to the loss of the pleasure of consuming, through ...
In principle it could. Since this is at all possible, space cannot be a priori. We're talking about how reality happens to be, not how we encounter it...
Sure, so tell me how you "place dots on a paper" (or the equivalent) to demonstrate non-Euclidean geometry (specifically intrinsic curvature). What is...
Ok. I don't think so. At minimum, I think you should read my exchange with Moliere, starting from here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comm...
Not only Kant, but I also, find suggestion (2) to be ridiculous. Reality has to be a certain way, and it is the job of philosophy to investigate it. I...
So then this is just about categorising statements, not about how things really are? The correct answer would be due to universality and/or necessity ...
Another one. Apparently, geometrical principles are united with the consciousness of their necessity - I don't see how that is the case with Euclid's ...
Although I disagree it would be necessary. Again - Euclid's 5th postulate contradicts non-Euclidean geometries by not allowing cases that non-Euclidea...
Thus it would be a priori according to Kant. It is sufficient for a proposition to be either necessary or universal to be a priori. "Now, in the first...
To build for a second on what I said above. To find out whether analytic statements are true, we appeal to the meanings / definitions of our words. To...
I will address the rest of the post soon, but first: Sure. Analytic statements are a priori because we don't need to appeal to experience to know that...
No, no, absolutely not :B - here's the rower and the boat: http://www.bravotv.com/sites/nbcubravotv/files/styles/blog-post--mobile/public/field_blog_i...
Strawman. No. It is biologically constructed (this is its origin), but obviously sociological factors also have a role in how it plays out in its conc...
Thanks, I had a quick look and will read in more depth soon. This doesn't make sense. Either the geometry is a synthetic a priori, or it's not. It can...
It's not whatever I say, it's just the facts of the matter. He did not make several of the statements PZM claims he did. Sure - it is not socio-cultur...
So you think the "campaign manager" would have run the incredibly controversial and non-traditional campaign that Trump ran? Sorry, "campaign managers...
Is it possible for wisdom not to lead to success though? Sure, success does usually bring a reputation for wisdom, but why is that? Isn't it because i...
Any good book of comparative religion between Christianity and Buddhism? (I am mostly interesting in something that has a philosophical side to it, mo...
If you want to call it that sure, though I don't see "earning money" through selling a product/service to be equivalent to raising capital. I mean, if...
A beautiful analogy (from a stylistic perspective), but unfortunately that tells us nothing about its truth. Again, do you believe a dumb person can b...
No, but I'm underlining how ridiculous it is to claim that someone who has built a billion dollar empire and won the Presidency of the United States "...
I actually like his style. He is one of my favorite contemporary authors. He and Peter Thiel have definitely shaped my outlook on business. I have pre...
I listened to the videos. Obviously, I have no doubt that PZM knows his evolutionary biology better than Peterson and so he is correct about the age (...
It's not silly, but it is different than the way you propose. It's known as bootstrapping in business circles. It is no wonder that my business philos...
Not yet. I was finishing some last bits of work (because I'm a workaholic), will do soon. (but probably reply tomorrow, cause it's late and I'm tired ...
Nonsense. You didn't read it properly. Take rule 6 for example: 6 Set your house in order before you criticise the world Many people are depressed and...
0 times. Trump has never been personally bankrupt. Some of his LLCs did file for bankruptcy, though that's often normal practice for some entrepreneur...
Not really - people usually try to screw you and get paid without doing good work - and that seems to be true especially if they know you can afford t...
But that implies that the person who has access to capital knows how to use it right? For sure, someone who knows how to use capital is aided by great...
I don't see how having access to capital improves your chances of success. If you don't know how to manage capital, and you have access to a lot of it...
Well, that is true. Trump is smart, whether you like it or not. You cannot achieve what Trump achieved in his life by chance. Some people scoff, and t...
