All events must have a cause = a synthetic a priori proposition. — 3017amen
what is a priori, is this judgement that we believe all events must have a cause. — 3017amen
In other words, in consciousness, how are synthetic a priori judgments possible (?). Kant's argument is that it's not learned. — 3017amen
Is this too abstract in a Kantian discussion — Gregory
It is a truth, insofar as its negation is a contradiction. — Mww
category (relation, schema: causality/dependence), and second, it is transcendental because it relates to concepts in general and from which other a priori cognitions become possible. — Mww
consciousness, they are not; it is reason alone from which such judgements arise. — Mww
From this, it follows such judgements are not learned; they are given — Mww
But in that the effect is nothing without the cause, the effect as effect is lost. All that remains is undifferentiated wetness — Gregory
It is a truth, insofar as its negation is a contradiction.
— Mww
Can you speak to that quote in a bit more detail? It seems very intriguing to me. — 3017amen
what is a priori, is this judgement that we believe all events must have a cause. — 3017amen
the very concept of “event” immediately invokes an ordering of time, insofar as any perceived event follows from some antecedent event related to it, then the a priori synthetical principle of cause and effect, relative to any perception, is established as universally necessary, hence true because its negation contradicts experience, re: it is impossible to perceive the same thing for all time, therefore every perception is conditioned by successions in time, that condition being an antecedent event that is necessarily its cause. — Mww
I find it useful, that is, to maintain the bookkeeping on what exactly is being spoken of. — tim wood
his an account of how the mind assembles the world, which assembly is necessarily prior to any attempt to account for it. — tim wood
But the hazard seems always to slip, slide, and fall into supposing that Kant speaks of the world itself when it's the mind's apperception's workings he's analyzing — tim wood
Because it's my "take" that what Kant takes away in his analysis of pure knowledge, he gives back (as possibility) in practical knowledge. — tim wood
is there such thing as a transcendental truth? — 3017amen
It's hard to say "what out to happen" from the principle of duty alone understood as the categorical imperative. — Gregory
The trouble with the Critique is that it got time and space wrong. — val p miranda
Man created time and space is a real immaterial existence. — val p miranda
Fundamental concepts are still valid and useful such as the law of non-contradiction..... — val p miranda
The Antinomies seem faulty because time is a part of them. — val p miranda
The world of time and space do not allow us to do whatever we want, so the LNC applies to it in a sense. — Gregory
As Fitche pointed out, there is a sense in which we bind ourselves to morality — Gregory
