Sorry. My mistake. Noumena=things in-themselves.

These are to ways of speak of the same thing. Ontologically and epistemologically. This is said in your quote: Thing in-itself=phenomenon

The most spectacular reference is quantum mechanics, where the act of measuring creates the measured. Kantian epistemology is very relevant to the cur...

This is like men and women. A small difference. Long live the small difference! All joking aside, the only difference you've noticed involves a lot of...

This may be absurd, but it's the opposite of what Kant said. Noumenon and the thing itself cannot be known simply because they fall outside the human ...

Ridiculous or not, phenomenon and thing in-itself are synonymous in Kant. They are very important concepts in a negative sense. They are the unattaina...

Let me be precise about what you said. Space and time are a priori forms for sensitivity. Perceptions in our common language are formed in the conditi...

This is a philosophy forum. Therefore, it is advisable to use words in the common philosophical sense. I have mentioned above the usual philosophical ...

Subject is the referent of any activity related to consciousness and/or subconscious. Object is what is outside the subject. Some (few) philosophers i...

Even if there were an objective method of knowing the human essence, it would be irrelevant to determine whether an essential trait is good or bad. Fo...

I don't know what it has to do with the legitimacy of being homosexual that penguins are homosexual, that Darwin established the difference between sp...

I am not in the habit of discussing human nature with spiritualists, but I suppose that if you believe that human nature exists, you can describe a se...

Thanks for the references. I've read a few chapters of Heisenberg's book. As for the problem of interpenetration between the subjective and the object...

I'm sorry I can't comment on all the posts. They are very interesting, but very long. As for understanding them, maybe it's presumption for my part, b...

Right. But we'll have to specify what it consists of or leave it to poetry.

That feature is so broad that it would only rule out utopias. But even utopian thinkers knew that their kingdoms were fantastic. "Task for the gods," ...

I had a Lacanian friend who said sentences like blocks and left you thinking for an hour. I don't know if she knew what she was saying, but she was ve...

Well, we were talking about the use of human nature to sneak in values. That's a typically conservative resource. That's not to say that reformists or...

OK. But that kind of thing is very abstract. You won't get precise rules out of them. Besides, they don't need to respond to a human nature, but could...

I believe that recourse to human nature is conservative, irrespective of the fact that this link can sometimes be broken. This is because it is used a...

Thank you. I'll try.

Well met, Mr. Cat.

You draw excessive consequences from my short comment. It is a personal assumption that electronic brains are capable of holding a simple conversation...

Distrust of human nature existed before Darwin. Remember Hobbes: homo hominis lupus. My mistrust refers to the possibility of knowing it. I think the ...

Thank you. I don't quite understand the scope of the question. Anyway, I suppose I could write a text like this if I were a computer programmed by a h...

First of all, I apologize for my English. Obviously, it's not my first language. I hope my ideas are better than my English. The first problem of esse...
