I believe it was Omar, a few days ago, who, in response to one of my previous posts concerning the reality of the thing that appears and the reality of the...
I must admit that having reached this limit within the confines of which religion, as far as Kant sees it, can only be justified on purely moral grounds, I am...
... I have Longuenesse, and want to include her ideas. Can't find the Ginsborg book at my "sources." In another thread I was using the German "Phantasie"...
Herman, I don't understand by what reasoning you are willing to leap into the transcendent. It cannot count as a reasoning that you are simply of that...
What is difficult about seeing the third Critique's notion of reflective judgment in the first Critique treatment of the imagination is that Kant is...
... First of all, Herman, thank you for continuing to write with such thoughtfulness to this list. However, in your last sentence, above, you begin to sound...
"Nature's hidden plan" in Kant is a manifestation of teleological reflective judgement, hence a mere regulative idea. It carries mere subjective universality...
John, Nature's hidden plan is not my thesis. It is Kant's regulative conjecture, propounded in his 1784 essay on "Universal History." At AA 8.27 He writes: ...
The regulative employment of a supersensible notion of reality would still not permit us to attribute any kind of reality to it. All it would allow is that we...
... Bruce, I was not referring to anything of Kant's but to your own thesis of "Nature's hidden plan ... for Metaphysics," which you recently informed us was...
John Anngeister <reader@...> wrote: I call "romanticism" any belief that "Nature=Reality" (i.e. that nature comprehends in itself the unconditioned and is...
I'm under the impression that Omar concurs, to some degree?, with the notion of "nature's hidden plan for metaphysics," > in brief: the regulative supposition...
Bruce, Take a look at Tonelli's (sic) book on Kant's architectonic, and the way it developed over the Critical period. It may help indirectly with 'hidden...
Bruce, You will recall my making reference to Kant's distinction, at the end of the B-deduction, between 'epigenesis', 'preformation', and 'generatio...
Herman, your superb writing in corrective to Omar's (ingrained) confusion on these matters has not gone unappreciated (except by Omar, it appears). In fact,...
Do not confuse orientation with reflective judgment, although it speaks well enough to aesthetic reflection. Reflection encompasses also teleological judgment...
Gentlemen: I want to sit down and more carefully read the series of posts over this past day or so and address some of the counter points to my thoughts. Right...
Bruce: There is an interesting parallel here between Kant's idea of an interaction between and analytic and synthetic method in philosophy and the idea of...
Omar, perhaps you could clarify what you say here, because, it seems to me, that you are saying two different things about reality. If you say that Romanticism...
Herman, Consider the following analogy: Psychologists are big into the idea of a positive attitude. If you think you can do something that manifestly seems...
Herman, See the long quotation below which speaks to the reality of regulative ideas: "There is a great difference between something being given to my reason...
Omar, "See the long quotation below which speaks to the reality of regulative ideas..." Speaking of, you didn't reply to my linking the introduction of...
Omar: That was a memorable passage when I read it. Perhaps I have waxed too eloquently in my last few posts and need to focus more for the sake of the...
Bruce, I do see now what you were getting at. that seems right, especially when one considers that scientists will often opt for a theory they know to be false...
Herman, It seems to me that aesthetics can satisfy your sense of the religious, and that Kant does leave room in that domain for such feelings: eg. the...
Bruce, My admiration for Rorty is less for his philosophy than for the sheer creativity of the man. I too would like to say: "Hegel taught us that we no longer...
Earlier this evening I finished reading the Inaugural Dissertation. It has shed some valuable light on the subreptic axioms, the sense of the distinction...
