No, you would be talking erroneously about the lectern in question. It's not the case that it might have been in a room other than the one it is in, u...
There is a difference between thinking that findings within science have absolutely no bearing on our phenomenological self-understandings, which, if ...
Do you understand the difference between stubborn dogmatic polemical argument and productive discussion? Maybe productive discussion is not to be foun...
I fail to see how experience itself is not private, even thought or the telling or acting out of it obviously is not, and the experience itself is med...
'If there is smoke then there is fire'. 'If there is not smoke then there is not fire' does not seem to follow. Perhaps you meant If P then Q, if ~Q t...
The existence of red-green colourblindness and the rarer blue-yellow colourblindness shows that colours do indeed appear differently to some people. A...
Firstly, how do you know "we" (was it us?) were "clearly wrong about (at least some of) them? Anyway the story at issue here is the human notion of se...
All discourse is just stories; so what? You have your story and I mine, correctness doesn't enter into it; it's a matter of presuppositions, preferenc...
:up: Although I'm a bit more modest than Descartes; I would say we know that thinking (and feeling and awareness) are going on; the self is a more pro...
This is not just "some theory" this is central to human experience and self-understanding, and it's not a question of that understanding being right o...
It isn't anything objective, and we should not expect it to be, but it is, by all reports something we all (or most of us at least) experience. Neuros...
That's generally true of me as well. In my teens i realized that, although I was very good at drawing and painting, I could not evoke an image of even...
The awareness is prior to any understanding of "circuits", the "circuits" which may or may not be objective correlates to subjective awareness. We ass...
We don't, but we also have no reason to think it is. We think others are aware because they insist that they are, and become offended when it is sugge...
What are the imaginable criteria for "greatness"? Influence within the genre? Widespread public recognition? Aesthetic quality? Profundity of thought ...
In ordinary parlance heating is "the flow of energy from place to place". Something that has been heated becomes hotter (than it was prior to being he...
Speak for yourself. In everyday thinking concerned with what do do, what I have to do, where to go, how to get there and so on, I think in images, not...
I think you must be referring to Heisenberg, not Heidegger. BTW the mention of the Dao De Ching reminded me of a book I'm currently reading, which I'v...
I agree that the subjectivr and objective are "indissociable poles of all experience" as experience is modeled. I think experience itself is prior to ...
Strictly there is no differentiation between being and non-being, but of course as soon as a distinction is made we have being, since non-being cannot...
I think the aim of meditation is to consciously be in the way we primordially are. I wouldn't even call it being-in-the world, which is still a dualis...
I don't agree with that article regarding pre-reflective self-awareness. I think pre-reflective awareness is prior to self and other; prior to subject...
That's simply not true. With the naked eye, I cannot see inside a human body, but with X-ray, MRI, Ultrasound and other imaging technologies I can see...
MU introduced the idea of looking inside objects, and I could not see the relevance of that to the so-called "hard problem". I gather your question is...
I think some philosophy has been concerned with that. Heidegger tried to achieve an understanding of being with discursive analysis in his earlier phi...
It's not clear how what you say here relates to what was being discussed. We can't see the inside of objects unless we break them open, then we can. W...
Right, I've read Chalmers (although years ago when at University) and I understand the basic distinction between functional and experiential conscious...
What exactly do you think the so-called "hard problem" is asking for? You mean inside and outside the body, no? My experience of anything internal to ...
Sure, you can use it any way you like, but if you want to maintain a distinction between knowing and believing, then I don't think loose or ambiguous ...
In the first case "know" is used incorrectly; you cannot know that The Red Sox will win the next game. In the second case you are merely repeating a w...
An account of the genesis of sense cannot be given, precisely because it assumes what it purports to explain. In other words no account can get outsid...
Fuck, thanks, that's magnificent; I haven't heard it before. Like the Perfect Circle 'Imagine' it's melancholy (and anthems should be melancholy) but ...
