Because we don't control every bad thing that can happen to us, nor can we control it. Obviously. Well let's see... suffering. You love someone, they ...

Probably she has no authority in real life, and so is striving to feel authoritative online...

No. There is no "if" or material conditional at all. That's just a way to rephrase the content of the argument. Take a look at Plantinga's formulation...

No, you cannot replace God with any finite thing. It is one mark of finitude for an object to be different than its concept - or for the thought to be...

(1) What ordinary people mean by intuition cannot be used to defend Kant, who uses that word differently, and thus means different things by it than o...

For Kant intuition means something closer to perception. So I assumed you were using that term, otherwise, it has no bearing on what Kant was writing ...

Yeah, this isn't controversial.

Yes, TimeLine has moved to a new form of philosophy, whereby we show what we mean through our way of acting, not through what we say X-)

>:O >:O >:O Your theories on love are somewhat hilarious :P

Ummm, no. Plato's intellectual intuition goes more with Kant's Understanding and the categories than with the forms of sensibility. The forms of sensi...

Yeah, recently, there is a lot of competition over Descartes here it seems. You, @"PossibleAaran" and @"Hanover" all like Descartes :P Personally, as ...

I don't see why "and not on the other side" must be added when "on the same side" and "on that side on which are the angles less than the two right an...

Yes, I am already aware of that. It's necessary for me to talk of "physical space" because Kant was wrong. Sure. Well, for Kant, there is only one spa...

There is a remark about something similar: In addition, there are the remarks of Kant's student, Schopenhauer, more clearly about the same subject: So...

I've spent quite a lot of time studying Kant, but it's not something I'm proud of, since it is disappointing that he could be so wrong. The first time...

So pure intuition refers to the perception of space and time. They are pure, because we cannot "not perceive" them. Kant goes through the thought expe...

Kant uses intuition in a technical sense. It's not what we mean by intuition in common language. In Kant, intuition is something closer to what we mea...

According to Kant, the a priori synthetic truths must be certain from the perspective of the phenomenon and our experience. One repercussion of this i...

No, that wasn't my point of disagreement.

The problem with this method is when do you stop doubting? When is there enough certainty for something to be justified? If I see a flower outside my ...

Also it is a grave error to think that there is any "true reality" to space according to Kant. Space is transcendentally ideal, given by the forms of ...

Sorry, but I will disagree with you on this. Reality is a hazy word. Why is the noumenon reality, and the phenomenon not? Don't forget that it is the ...

Exactly... If you had, you'd be amazed by how often Kant mentions the "apodictic" nature of geometrical propositions.

Nope. This is a mistaken view. Kant was trying to show why mathematics is so effective at describing physical space - if mathematics is just a human c...

People will go to any heights of absurdity to prove that what they want to believe is true, instead of admitting to the truth.

That essay is a pile of manure. >:O And Kant wasted his time saying that the propositions of geometry are synthetic in order to tell us they can be de...

I think the people (which is everyone here pretty much) who think that non-Euclidean geometry is not a problem for the Kantian have not carefully read...

Yes, because the rest was a pile of unargued manure.

Why horrified at Peterson's speech?

Well, it's a difference of attitude. One claims that suffering is part and parcel of the nature of existence as we experience it now, and thus cannot ...

Actually, he held the dialectical view, that advances in thinking and advances in production go hand in hand, and one spurs the other. Quantitative pr...

I would say that over time the hierarchy always shifts towards competency. This doesn't mean that there cannot be cases, some of them even for hundred...

Sure, it's just clickbait, just like my own thread title - a marketing element. The problem here is that I don't think that being white, in and of its...

Oh? Why are you reciting Hanover's answer? >:O

Yes, on most issues of American politics apart from healthcare, environmental policies and some economic issues.

I think Hanover's gf knows the answer to that question :B

And I forgot you Brits say "turn on" TV, not open it >:O

Okay, I see. That's reasonable, but then it's a double-edged thing, since every demographic has its own problems. So even white people would confront ...

>:O, yah, that Sean Hannity is on my computer, not on the TV. I don't get American programs on TV. I remember that the UK is such a country that they ...

Sometimes I hear people talking about actors, actresses, etc. and I'm like "What language are you people speaking there?!" >:O

Oh, good! >:O I do have a TV, just don't open it on things other than news :P

I know the famous ones, you know... Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Citizen Kane, Spiderman, other Marvel movies, You Again!, Shawshank Redemption, A...

And did you expect me to know that? >:O

Don't worry, I don't even know what Zoolander is >:O . You're talking to someone who hasn't watched a single movie for more than 1 year. Probably in m...

That edit does not help your cause >:O - it's even more incomprehensible than before.

Hm? I already answered your question... :s

Yeah, exactly. Except that contrary to your unspoken suggestion, I don't think such behaviour is moral, regardless of what the end of it is. At least ...

So political qualifications don't stem simply from skin color or gender, but the latter can contribute to it? Is that what you mean by the use of the ...

So, do you think a man has a right to be dishonest if he thinks another is dishonest in order to "catch them out"? :P When there's a fire, do you take...
