  • Schopenhauer's Criticism of Kant's use of 'Noumena'
    No. but only if so, mentally. I checked definition and thought that post indicated that.
  • Schopenhauer's Criticism of Kant's use of 'Noumena'
    matter and form or not combinable. I think form is a result of the matter.

    Yes, if the possible worlds become actual

    I brought up Remark 2 on the internet; it is not easy reading. College didn't dim y our wit. Well, Mww, I wish you well, and you have impressed me.

    You must be a Kantian scholar, so can you give me a summary of what is relevant that caused your view that space is immaterial. Mine is as follows: immaterial space as the first existent in the pre-universe caused actual space in the current universe.

    Thank you. I don't have the book, so I have it on line.

    Space is the only immaterial, in my view. As for the brain, it is physical. Eyerything else is physical, but I do wonder about ideas. I never got the impression that Kant was a Newtonian because space depended on intuition; in other words, it was not real.
  • Space-Time and Reality
    Ok, that's fair, but I am curious as to why you believe space is immaterial.
  • Space-Time and Reality
    ↪Mww
    Did you read the post? It is clear and logical from pre-universe to big bang; it connects immaterial space in the-pre-universe to space in the current universe. It may not be true, but it a clear and logical exposition of how the universe began.

    Space is the place. It is simple. The existence of space makes everything possible and it is the place.

    Good point, but this is not the post I favor. My post on Metaphysics and Epistemology on the origin of universe shows how the universe began.
  • Space-Time and Reality
    ↪Fooloso4

    time is a concept (opinion) that has no reality existence. Space is a concept (opinion) that has reality existence as an immaterial existent. If I muddled that I want to apologize to the readers.

    I think space is both an empirical concept and a non-empirical concept. Not all concepts are real but I think immaterial space created the universe---a wild and bizarre opinion, perhaps.

    Well, I thought my "origin" post would be interesting to persons who were interested in a non-religious origin of the universe.

    space is both philosophy and science.
  • Space-Time and Reality
    ↪Fooloso4
    No, space exists in reality. In my view, it is the only real immateria existent.
  • Space-Time and Reality
    ↪Fooloso4
    No space is an exception; it is, in my view, the only immaterial existent.
  • Space-Time and Reality

    Maybe not. Kant thought that space was a product of the mind--had no existence without mentality. Call the idea of space what is correct. The trouble with Berkely and Kant is that they wanted to eliminate space to get rid of materialism to save religion. Space has been a problem for Berkeley, Kant, Leibnitz, Newton, Mach and Einstein. They all got it wrong, but Newton was closest to being correct. Immaterial space is a perfect solution for existence. My post on origin of the universe explains why I think space is immaterial.
  • Space-Time and Reality

    Perhaps.

    Materiality is not a requirement for immaterial space; materiality requires space

    If anyone wants to better understand this post, read my post in metaphysics and epistemology on the origin of the universe.

    Of course but physically only as a concept. Time has such a strong impact on humanity that its non-existence is regarded as impossible.

    I am unable to respond to most of your post other than to say that I think that Relativity is mostly mathematical with complex equations--tensors, etc. Kant disagreed with most of Lieibniz who disputed the "bucket" argument of Newton. Kant's goal was to discredit materialism in order to save religion, (Lutheranism). Idealism would do that; It was feared that materialism would bring about the end of religion.
  • Space-Time and Reality

    No, just a change of now that requires no time; reality moves. Here is a point for you: If time stops, nothing moves, so time makes movement possible. In my view, it does not.
  • Space-Time and Reality
    ↪jgill
    It is a simple fundamental existent.
  • Space-Time and Reality
    ↪Fooloso4
    No, space requires no space because it is fundamental and it existed in the pre-universe.

    metaphysical ideas
  • Space-Time and Reality
    ↪Fooloso4
    My view is that space was the first existent that initiated the universe; it is just an immaterial existent--that's it. Mass could not create itself, so one could say that space is responsible for the existence of everything else.

    Kant is my favorite philosopher, not Einstein.
  • Space-Time and Reality
    ↪Fooloso4
    Time is a transcendental concept, but time in reality does not exist. As a concept, time is the measurement of motion. Who does the measuring?
  • Space-Time and Reality
    ↪Banno
    Then do you believe that time is a real immaterial existent? I do not see, hear, touch, etc. time. Time is a human creation for convenience. An example using nothing. Nothing is discussed all the time. But nothing does not exist--talk about non-existence. Such is time talk.
  • Space-Time and Reality
    ↪apokrisis
    Your post is too much to respond to, but I will say this: it seems to me that Relativity is mostly based on mathematics and ignores time and space in reality. For example, how can time adjust the speed of light to make it the same for all observers when time does not exist. List one or two items for me to respond to. I appreciate all the time and thought that you presented. i have not done justice to your post

    space is place

    No time--the moment moves.
