Please Speak Up, I Kant Understand You

Posted about 1 year ago
One of those rare occasions tonight where nothing sounded good. Wound up reading some philosophy to distract (that always works)For example, say a subject says “the sun shines on the stone, the stone grows warm”, which is all he perceives in perception. His judgment is contingent and holds no necessity. But if he says “the sunshine causes the stone to warm”, he subsumes the perception under the category of causality, which is not found in the perception, and necessarily synthesizes the concept sunshine with the concept heat, producing a necessarily universally true judgment.Dat shits hot! good thing it's 93,000,000 miles away...Hercules Slays The Minotaur

    darmuzz says Why is it then a "necessarily universally true judgment"? Is it true because all judgments are true? or all contingent judgments are true? Does someone else have to go "fact check" that the sun causes heat, or is that a given? Causality goes beyond perception, yes. Causality can't be made without synthesis, yes. If someone synthesizes two concepts and assumes causality, are they always right? The stone doesn't warm itself because of sunshine... Fun stuff, scotfree!

    deadmandeadman says **If someone synthesizes two concepts and assumes causality, are they always right?** This is a good question. Around these parts, The larger the number of Popsicles eaten, the more drowning deaths there are. Cause & Effect?

    scotfree says PIMP - do dat darmuzz - so many questions! 1. when you susume 2. all judgements are true except "Judgement At Neuremburg" which was somewhat fictionalized for the sake of the story. Montgomery Clift as Freud - philm philosophy. 3. contingent on perception. the sun is shining, the sun is warm. the sun warmed the rock. how do we not know if the sun just emerged from behind a cloud and the rock was actually warmed by elk pee? 4. "fact check", ok now, this kind of talk is making me hot under the collar. 5. without the universally true judgement derived from the synthesis of the two concepts there would not be anything to philosophize about, but it can't always be true. I mean, just because the first Star Wars trilogy was so successful... Augusts - mine too...now Derm - your observations are a perversion of this grand piece of art. I like it DMDM - could the warmth of the sun (that we have proven above) be melting those uneaten popsicle chunks into dangerous pools of sweet fluid? Can I have an orange one please?? Of course, all bets are off if the rock turns out to be a chunk of uranium with its own built in atomic warmer. thanks kids...

    HelenMarie says Groove Armada and philosophy...hum. This is too familiar. "If someone synthesizes two concepts and assumes causality, are they always right?" A topic on "theories of causation":http://plato.stanford.edu/search/searcher.py?query=theories+of+causation ...could go on for hours.

    darmuzz says Here's what I learned in philosophy class: All human beings are mortal. Socrates is a human being. Therefore Socrates is mortal. We got a nice triangular symbol to use for "therefore." Why Socrates? Since he's already dead, I suppose he serves as a good example of having been mortal. Define mortal, anyway...yada yada yada!

    scotfree says Eidetic memory on that Poe. I've even been known to watch (and enjoy) Howard the Duck when no one's watching!

    scotfree says ROTFL - I knew what it meant, but I had to look it up too for spelling. And, if you are scratchin' your head a bit over the "Howard the Duck" ref, I screwed that one up. Here's the ointment, John Lithgow played the villian in "The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the Eigth Dimension" (just in case you never heard of it, it is a real movie, I'm not messin' with ya - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Buckaroo_Banzai_Across_the_8th_Dimension ) - and for some reason I always get him mixed up with "Howards.." Jeffery Jones. Anyway, thanks 'cause this diversion kept from work drudgery. Back to the keys...

    poebegone says um. Scott, your last comment was even more confusing than your second to last comment. i take it you were mistaking John Lithgow for Jeffrey Jones, but were there any ducks in Buckaroo Banzai? don't let that existential question distract you from work now. (;
