Bruce: While I am pleased to find you concurring with the empirical /external nature of intransigence, I take it that in regard to such "ontological account of...
Herman, Thanks for your very generous and sincere reply! Apologies if I was too flip and abbreviated. When you were speaking of "intellectual intuition" and...
I'm not arguing against your position, just noting that my universality (which is not given) is a different one than yours. I was reiterating a familiar Humean...
That coordination of faculties is not discussed by Longueness directly. What she examines is the role of reflection/comparison/abstraction in relation to the...
How do abstraction/reflection/comparison relate to the categories? To begin with, they are the processes whereby content is empirically organized, and it...
The thing in itself is "redeemed" by being a mere thought object, an object of the Understanding without the possibility of a correlative sense content. As a...
Bruce: It is not a problem Bruce. I need to sit down and formulate a briefer, more succinct response to what you have said below. The intellectual intuition I...
Herman, A tangent: Can you please tell me about the source (texts, history) for: ".... what British philosophy professors call "medium ... Is this akin to...
Hi Bruce, Knowledge of the thing in itself has no universality, as we, with our limited sensibility, can only ever see the space-time spectrum of what is...
a priori equals universal in regard to experience. the synergy of www.circularcreation.com/ ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Wow this 4-way strikes me as about as skewed as it's possible to be! I don't believe that any two parties are on the same page. I'm certainly not. I don't mean...
That could be, I am merely responding to your statement on the thing in itself while drinking a beer, and it tasted pretty good to me. Just wanted to share...
The philosophy of summer! I enjoy it myself. Didn't Feuerbach make some crack about how we conquer the otherness of the thing by eating it? This then is...
I got it from professor Bernstein's lectures on Kant and Hegel. I thought it was kind of cute. So I just now borrowed it. Whether it REALLY is British I don't...
Its a big jump from the thing in itself as inaccessible to knowledge, the qualitative but very real sensation of enjoying a beer, and inebriation, in which...
That is true Omar. We cannot know what cannot appear. We can know what does appear, and what does appear is (usually, but not always) the thing itself. I say ...
Aristotle's substance is known directly as thing in itself, according to Kant, and this is impossible. For we cannot know the necessary and universal by means...
Omar: Aristotle's substance is known directly as thing in itself, according to Kant, and this is impossible. Hb3g: This seems kind of circular to me, Omar. By...
The thing in itself is only thought as underlying that which appears: an analytical proposition-- what is presupposed in what appears, as "that which...
Substance is not a thing in itself for Kant, but a category. This means, it is a structure of our thinking, that orders the material of sense: the only place...

This denies things in themselves their regulative and then critical role. Omar ... From: William Peck <wpeck@...> To: kant@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Omar: ...and yet, in Kant's solution to the third antinomy, he shows that it is equally plausible for us to conceive of the object of cognition as noumenon as...
i don't think so, if one avoids the threatening equivocations. we can know things only as they appear in the forms our sensibility and intellect require. but...

Just to give only one example of the level of sophistication at which Aristotle's analyses of things and their forms proceeds, take into consideration this...
But this denies Kant's claim that intuition is our direct connection to things, which Kant states explicitly. Intuitions are not our direct, or indirect...
The cold beer that I enjoy here in front of me, this yellow effervescent refreshment on a hot day with cold beads of water collecting on the glass. It is as...
You make Kant a mere intellectual exercise when he is talking through his categories about the world and its possibility. For experience of the world is...
