I get that. It seems Kant wanted to disprove metaphysics as a science with Newtonian materialism. What do you think?

I don't think your quotes from Kant on matter fully establish dualism. Substance is part of the categories and the only thing we know phenomenally is ...

I think Kant is a dualist because there is the "I think therefore I am" thinking person, and the thing in itself that is unknowable. Kant fails to get...

I don't think many writers of this forum would say "give up all reason and follow faith blindly without consideration of custom or common sense!" So t...

Are you saying Isaac deserved the death penalty for a crime/sin? Otherwise he was innocent and surely suffered, as his father suddenly bound him.

In the Book of Hebrews the writer says Abraham thought God would resurrect Isaac. The command was still to murder

"In this regard it must be remarked that the assertion that the categories by themselves are empty is certainly correct in the sense that we ought not...

The dualism between mind and body is real in Hegel, but at the completion of Spirit all is One, as it always was. Few point this out, but Hegel has ma...

Traditional conservatism respects Congress as the supreme law of the land. The executive and judiiciary are there to keep balance. Neither have more p...

Kant seemed to do this 'removal of the mind from it's environment' thing. Reason can twist inward where it can no longer feel truth. This is why The C...

Hegel uses terms from Aristotle and Platonism all the time. The "universal" he speaks of often. He turns things around though. In the Science of Logic...

This is why i used the term "bi-reality" in the other thread. It's dualism submerged in unity. We create the world (philosophy), and the world thru at...

He has the 1) unknowable, 2) the knowable by science, 3) those things known by faith without a consulting reason (laws of the heart), 4) and ethical l...

Spiritual, philosophical, mystical.. these are the same thing seen from different angles. Doesn't "phenomena" imply that it is mystical, and doesn't m...

A desire for facts and a desire for truth are not necessarily the same thing. There is something spiritual, which nothing other than that reality is m...

Can they explain the origin of the universe? Science has a real problem with origin when the practical side of a scientist turns speculative. 'A truer...

That's what objective means. I don't think you have a proper appreciation of what philosophy is about Faith can work miracles. A good mind believes in...

Whether truth is subjective, or instead, objective has been answered differetly throughout history. If it lives only in minds then truth is subjective...

You don't seem to have a burning desire to know truth. Or maybe you do. Maybe you are satisfied. Smaller size truths like those found by science can't...

Accepting the results of science is an important part of being a modern adult. Medicine and those who create them go back far back into haze of histor...

The laws of the heart are hard to decifer, so i can't declare i know Kant's inner reflections, but his system for me leaves something missing.

What if you found a real contradiction at the heart of all you believe. Do you 1) go with faith, or 2) go with dialetheism Or 3) go with both, or 4th ...

Of course. Hegel claimed Aristotle as his own, but his logo-becoming theology is the reverse of Aquinas's world view. Kant is opposed to it too. Kant ...

Hegel was pointing out that slavery is a part of the human condition; however, he believed in the progress of history. Things can get bad, but they le...

What was Hegel's main response do you think to Kant's divided (by antimony?) world of phenomena and the beyond?

Thanks. I've read several places that Kant wanted to complete Descartes "universal algebra" agenda. That is, a system that can explain everything that...
