Before Kant, an inquiry into "the nature and origin of knowledge" had been a search for privileged inner representations. With Kant, it became a search for the rules which the mind had set up for itself (the "Principles of the Pure Understanding"). This is one of the reasons why Kant was thought to have led us from nature to freedom. Instead of seeing ourselves as quasi-Newtonian machines, hoping to be compelled by the right inner entities and thus to function according to nature's design for us, Kant let us see ourselves as deciding (noumenally, and hence unconsciously) what nature was to be allowed to be like. Kant did not, however, free us from Locke's confusion between justification and causal explanation, the basic confusion contained in the idea of a "theory of knowledge."

The nature of the human mind is such that it does not passively receive sense data. Rather, it actively digests and structures them, and man therefore knows objective reality precisely to the extent that that reality conforms to the fundamental structures of the mind. The world addressed by science corresponds to principles in the mind because the only world available to the mind is already organized in accordance with the mind’s own processes.

Richard Tarnas, The Passion of the Western Mind

What remains today of Newton's fundamental breakthrough? Modern life, our system of education founded on the requirements of punctuality, scholastic exercises on the charts of train schedules, geographic maps—all this inculcates in us, from childhood, a very Newtonian idea of space and time. This is why we have such difficulty perceiving the absurdity of questions such as"What lies beyond the limits of the universe?" or "What existed before the creation of the world—or before the Big Bang?" We marvel at the apparent modernness of Saint Augustine, who was already addressing similar questions fifteen centuries ago: "Time did not exist before heavens and earth.” But few among us know or have really assimilated the Kantian critique of the concepts of space and time. Kant constructed this critique specifically to chart the boundaries between knowledge and faith, to free science from metaphysical presuppositions, to deliver geometry from the shadow of theology to which Newton had in fact ascribed it. For Kant, space and time are not things in themselves but "forms of intuition”—in other words, they constitute a canvas that allows us to decipher the existence of the world. According to Kant, things "in themselves" are neither in space nor in time. It is the human mind that, in the very act of perception, superimposes these categories, which are its own and without which perception would be impossible. This does not exactly mean that space and time are illusions or pure inventions of the human mind. These frameworks are imposed on us through empirical contact with nature and are not, therefore, "arbitrary.” They no more belong to things in themselves than they belong to the mind alone; rather, they exist because of the dialogue between the mind and things. They are, in the final analysis, an unavoidable product of motion itself by means of which the mind searches to apprehend—to understand—the outside world.

I just had a riveting discussion with a self proclaimed anarcho-capitalist at work, whose opinions included:

Tipping is bad because 'contracts with your employer are voluntary and they can leave if they're not paid enough.' He will still tip if he thinks his wife is watching

If you're stuck inside a torture chamber with an apple you can bite every ten seconds that sends you to paradise for a year, it is illogical to bite the apple and humanity is broken for thinking so

The ending to the good place was bad because the characters weren't being logical and there was so much shit you can do with the afterlife.

The marxist labor theory of value 'isn't true' because paintings have arbitrary value

Heidegger was an idiot

Kant was an idiot

Nietzche was an idiot

He is an anarcho-capitalist

If I don't have 100% certainty for something than I can't truly say that I know something is true, and isn't it illogical that people do that?

I have to see this man every Monday from now until I quit. We work one on one.

#he was also horrified that i give credit to phenomenology despite not seeming to know what that is? #and now that i think about his stupid thing with the car i could just as easily use the sun as an example #and that would be even dumber #my god this man is a fool #and every single thing he said he followed up with 'and i know thats an unpopular opinion' like wtf you weird little edgelord #go read jordan peterson and leave me alone #he ended the conversation with 'i guess i didnt change your opinion' despite me not sharing any coherent opinions whatsoever #mans is getting off on 'rational debate' and im laughing in his face when he tells me 'marx's labor theory of value isnt true' #marx #heidegger #neitzche #anarcho-capitalist #communism #anarchism #capitalism #kant #the good place #thought experiments #i guess #phenomenology #simulation theory #maybe? #tipping #ethics #my fat tranny nuts

okay don’t get me wrong I love The Good Place and obviously it’s a fantastic piece of media, so this post is lighthearted and in good fun -- but no matter how many times I rewatch I STILL cannot get over how they spent 4 seasons talking about moral philosophy without:

1) So much as mentioning Benjamin Constant?? Despite Chidi’s idol being Immanuel fucking Kant??? I kept WAITING for him to bring it up because Constant was the philosopher who proposed the key counterargument to Kant’s rigid idealism, by posing a scenario in which a known serial killer comes to your door and asks where your friend is hiding so he can kill them. By Kantian ethics, it’d be more moral to tell him the truth, because lying is “always inherently wrong,” and he justified it by arguing you’re not responsible for what the killer does with that information.

This was like. Chidi’s main dilemma for most of the series and the source of most of his pain in life. Not to mention that rigid moral structure made his ethical decisions throughout the show Constant-ly Kantradictory. Someone get me in a room with him, I need to know how he’d respond to that thought experiment, dammit!!!

2) Ever exploring Sartre, when the show itself is CLEARLY based on the premise of Sartre’s play No Exit, in which 3 people are sent to Hell to live in one room together for eternity, selected to torture one another without knowing it, and it is torture because they consist of a lesbian who’s in love with the straight woman in love with the gay man. That play is the origin of the famous philosophical quote “Hell is other people.” There’s even an episode title that makes a pun on that phrase: “Help is Other People”!!! The perspective of the play is that prolonged emotional torture (especially inflicted via others in an exchange of mutual torment) is a worse pain than any physical torture could bring. Sound familiar?

babygirl the way you can recognise an object by unifying a small part of the manifold of intuitions you are given that you then subsume under a general empirical concept is a profound act of synthesis you have enchanted me body and soul

#kant #if youve ever recognised an object as distinct from other objects ur so talented

[philosophybits]

Kant stated defensively that he had "found it necessary to deny knowledge... to make room for faith," but he had not made room for faith; he had made room for thought, and he had not "denied knowledge" but separated knowledge from thinking.

You shall love your crooked neighbour, with your crooked heart.

- W.H. Auden

Two childhood friends meet during a protest. One is a factory worker, the other is a riot officer. Guy Burmieux and Jean-Yvon Antignac were childhood friends but they chose different paths in life.

On 6 April 1972 in Brittany, France, Guy was part of a protest to get better working conditions. Jean-Yvon and other riot officers were called in to quell the protestors.
