Everything is about thinking, reflection.

I think borders should not be redrawn but those of mind and heart which should always go forward in terms of ethics (practical philosophy) and what we can know about the world (science in a broder...

We would need more glasses, three thousand at least but of different sizes and another one for each bias. Thus, the semiotics of the interspecies communication between cat, dog, monkey and us - as...

As we now have determined the cat's "grammar" of behaviors, the question arises how would a theory of interpretation have to look that describes coherent and verifiable translations form cattish body...

If I made our one week sit-cat job wear glasses like Ollie (the dog), would it write the papers, eventually? It might come down to find the right and convincing argument but then the owner may...

C.R. Howland, Military History of the World, 1923 (2 Volumes)

Is this the source W.G. Caples refers to?

Has Howland written other books or essays earlier than 1927?

You have had a look into...

Reality, objective and logical validity, is "just" cognition but always more than actual awareness of what could be a question. I agree with what you say about mathematical theorems. Mathematical...

The alarm clock seems to run again now. It is interesting what you write about Borges. I have not known this, although when questions do not come up then one cannot know. Reality is always more than...

If I am through with the parts of Dummett's Seas of Language, I may start reading Davidson's Problems of Rationality. I have it for quite a while but had to do other things, so maybe it would go well...

You could read a book in the wormhole case but you could also arrive with an unfinished draft of a book or with a box filled with all books ever written waiting for a baggage car that won't come...

wormhole travel vs aero planes

The advantage of the aero plane is the possibility to read a book, given it stays long enough in the air or it takes off at all.

The more data you have the less calculable they are. Analyzing data heads after the mathematics into the somber realm of qualifying judgments. You can't blame people for the incalculable like deluded...

You can't teach freedom in that sense. You can try to behave consequent and that may help a bit as an example from the outside. I don’t think we should go there, not for such a purpose at least.

Whatever we think what we should do, we should spend time with thinking about autonomy, the responsible use of freedom because it is what defines how far we can go, till where we can set the limits....

We live in a world of moral values where we expect responsible acts because we are used to describe us and the other as self-determined responsible acting beings and our world of moral values works...

If politics was some kind of talk about epistemology, one could say the following (but it is not, therefore one can't really).

Epistemology is a method of self-assurance of reason. To think it was...

It's obvious but I may need to add. {trust / distrust} is not necessarily correlative to {plausible / implausible}. A plausible explanation can describe a state of trust or something you could trust...

{trust / distrust} is different from {true / false}
{trust / distrust} is more like {plausible / implausible}

Examples

It is true that Omar from Australia is a Main Coon.
It is false that...

The problem is part of the argument, "the vindication of the moral wisdom ... against the experience".

It looks to me as if Kant argues with Hume against Leibniz in regard to the possibility of moral worlds (context B 836). We should not forget that this is a 18th century debate on the other hand.

The answer is in your formulation.

Accordance with all moral laws is a requirement of an explanation of the world as a moral world (free after Critic of Pure Reason B 836).

It's not definitive what the motivation has been. I would not know what it would change. It's wrong from a categorical point of view.
