My apologies.

Infinite, like nothing, does not exist; they are merely concepts.

Infinity, like nothing, has no real existence; they are merely concepts.

In my view Kant rejected materialism and chose idealism in or to protect religion, especially Lutheranism.

There are arguments against the existence of mind. I say the brain supports what is called mind. As to matter, it could not create itself; therefore, ...

In accordance with Aristotle view of potential and actual, eternal and immaterial space became actual liberating the energy of the big bang. This just...

I cannot observe outside of the universe; however, the restriction on observation does not apply to mentality. I imagined the pre-universe where the e...

Matter and some of its derivatives require space; motions, which are the fundamental process, have no need of time. When all motions stop, there is no...
May 19, 2021 at 02:55
My view is that time does not exist. Change is the genus and different motions is the species. To offer a definition, time is the measurement of motio...

It seems necessary that there was one first existent since their is existence. And I reiterate: either nothing exists or something exists. Since nothi...

The reason that there is something rather than nothing is as follows: The question should be re-stated. Either something exists or nothing exists. Sin...

I may have erred.
April 21, 2021 at 22:55
A thesis cannot be true and false simultaneously was my response when I was reminded that the antinomies were a logical response to metaphysical error...
April 21, 2021 at 21:17
True. At the moment, the metaphysical process is beyond my understanding.
April 21, 2021 at 20:58
you're right. I was regarding the antinomy from a different point of view, not a logical one. I suppose I didn't like Kant's reform and correction of ...
April 21, 2021 at 20:42
Of course, the antinomies are faulty. Proof of a contention and then proof of the opposite should alert one of a faulty thesis. Truth is not true and ...

Let's examine a metaphysical and, therefore, a transcendental question for which I have the answer and hope it interests you G. The question is: why t...

The way I see it: Does the universe have a beginning? The universe either has a beginning or it does not have a beginning if there is a universe. Astr...

The critique oft the antinomies leads the mind to higher levels
April 21, 2021 at 03:23
Kant has already explained why the antinomies are faulty
April 21, 2021 at 01:50
One cannot make it (time and space) right without destroying the Critique. Let me reiterate: Kant is my favorite philosopher, so erudite and moral and...
April 21, 2021 at 01:47
Phenomena, I think, should be limited to the emperical. Since space is never perceived and time does not exist, phenomena should not be applied to the...
April 21, 2021 at 01:39
Since there is no time, an important element of the proof does not exist.
April 21, 2021 at 01:22
The Antinomies seem faulty because time is a part of them. Kant showed, as I recall, when that law is valid. No time--a statement is true or not true....
April 20, 2021 at 05:16
The trouble with the Critique is that it got time and space wrong. Man created time and space is a real immaterial existence. If the Aesthetic is an e...
April 20, 2021 at 04:46
No, not from the tidbit. I have read Kant and he is my favorite philosopher. Not being a naive realist, I think that science is indirectly working on ...

An appearance is not what appears; a representation is a word for appearance. What appears is the thing-in-self, but our sensibility detects macro rea...

Yes if he is referring to the standard model of quantum mechanics.
April 16, 2021 at 04:38
Change is a genus; what changes is the species. Time is the measurements of motion. Anything that changes moves. Time exists in the mind of man who cr...

The French scientist Lavoisier said before he lost his head that nothing is ever lost, but form does change. So our ideas, memories, etc. may still ex...
March 18, 2021 at 22:02
Wayfarer, your professor did not consider why there is something rather than nothing. If he had reformulated it as follows: either nothing existed or ...
March 18, 2021 at 03:39
One reliable principle is from nothing comes nothing. Why something was necessary can be viewed as follows: in the beginning either there was nothing ...

And this mental nothing is made of mass; therefore, nothing is something
March 13, 2021 at 01:48
Nothing exists in one's mind.
January 30, 2021 at 00:27
For the answer, the question should be reformulated as follows: either nothing or something exists. Since nothing does not exist, something must exist...
January 29, 2021 at 08:26
Nothing refers to lack of mass and its derivates; there are other existents which invalidates "nothing is impossible" arguments, etc.
January 18, 2021 at 08:04
The first existent, immaterial and eternal space, created the first thing (matter) after being a potential that became actual liberating the energy of...

Jgill, I just use my imagination. As for a waste of time, for some it is, but not for all philosophers.
December 12, 2020 at 07:51
Roger, you have it right: the "1" always existed. Since the universe is not an illusion and from nothing comes nothing in the pre-universe what remain...
December 12, 2020 at 07:48
Roger, there is nothing and no-thing. In the pre-universe either something comes from nothing or there was an eternal and immaterial (no-thing) first ...
December 11, 2020 at 08:33
For an additional clarification, there is no time in the pre-universe. Time is a function of motion in the material universe. And, too, since there is...
December 10, 2020 at 08:16
For the answer to why there is something rather than nothing, the pre-universe should be considered. In the pre-universe, there are two possibilities....
