SOH-Dan: "Kantian Humility"
http://sohdan.blogspot.com/2013/06/kantian-humility.html
I read about half of Rae Langton's "Kantian Humility"; I skimmed the chapters between the one on phenomenal substance and the one on primary/secondary qualities. Here are some thoughts I had. Posted by Daniel Lindquist. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bloomington, Indiana, United States. Got an MA from the University of Chicago; now in the PhD program in Philosophy at Indiana University-Bloomington. Playing around with Davidson, Wittgenstein, John McDowell, Hegel and Kant. Twitter. In And For Itself.

The Twenty-Five Years of Philosophy": some criticisms. To give an example: One of the clear issues in Kant that the post-Kantians tried to get past is Kant's conviction that out finite intellect is a special. Sort of finite intellect, and that others are possible (or at least thinkable); this aspect of Kant's thought means that when Kant proves that such-and-such is a condition on reality's being an object of cognition for us. But, since Kant thinks that our intellect is. Those conditions outside of.

A Quote from L.E.J. Brouwer. Life is a magic garden. With miraculously soft shining flowers, but amidst the flowers the little. People walk, that I am so afraid of, they stand on their heads, and the worst is, that they cry out to. Must also stand on my. Head, now and then I try. It, and I burn with shame; but sometimes. The little people then shout that I do it very well, and that I am after. All a real gnome too. But under. No circumstances are they going to make me believe that.". Links to this post.

Rödl on Kant's First Analogy of Experience. Here's how Kant states the First Analogy in the A-edition of KRV, where it is labelled the "Principle of Permanence": "All appearances contain the permanent (substance) as the object itself, and the transitory as its mere determination, that is, as a way in which the object exists." (A182). 1) All appearances are in time; and in it alone, as substratum [.], can either coexistence or succession be represented. 3) Now time cannot by itself be perceived. And all t...

SOH-Dan: McDowell on Cognitive Science and Epistemology
http://sohdan.blogspot.com/2013/05/mcdowell-on-cognitive-science-and.html
McDowell on Cognitive Science and Epistemology. University College Dublin has put online two lectures (and an interview). McDowell gave there recently; kudos to them for doing this. It is all the to better that more talks are going online these days, so that it's easier for those who want to hear them to do so. I just finished listening to the first one, "Can cognitive science determine epistemology? Do these dependencies go? This way lies Naturphilosophie. Posted by Daniel Lindquist. After all, perhaps ...

SOH-Dan: September 2012
http://sohdan.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
From today's NDPR review. Of "The Twenty-Five Years of Philosophy":. Although this seems on its surface to suggest a possible link between Goethe's idea, at least generally taken, and the more recent work by Michael Thompson and Sebastian Rödl on how species terms work, Förster does not explore that link. On the other hand, one can't do everything. What work by Rödl does Pinkard have in mind? Or is Pinkard mistaken in thinking that Rödl is relevant on just this point? Another possibility that occurs to m...

SOH-Dan: The Endogenous given: why I am not satisfied with McDowell on this front
http://sohdan.blogspot.com/2012/02/endogenous-given-why-i-am-not-satisfied.html
The Endogenous given: why I am not satisfied with McDowell on this front. I ended my last post on the endogenous given with this summary of how I think the dialectic of pure thought has gone:. In the comments, Nikhil asks a fair question: Didn't McDowell already answer this question in section nine of "Davidson in Context"? Why do I think he's left something unfinished? This post is my answer. And deserved the response he gave it: "You think I can't talk in this way? So, I think McDowell cannot be happy ...

The Space of Reasons. Philosophical Reflections on Reasons for Belief and Action. Thursday, 17 May 2012. Outline of Chisholm’s “The Problem of Criterion”. Roderick Chisholm argues that we can successful arrive at a general criterion for distinguishing between cases in which we have knowledge and cases in which we do not if we begin with specific instances in which we clearly have knowledge, and then generalise from those cases to arrive at the principles of “good” belief. The dogmatist claims that we can...

The Space of Reasons. Philosophical Reflections on Reasons for Belief and Action. Friday, 17 October 2014. Hanks' Univocality Objection to Theories of Interrogative Content. Smith is tall) and “knows whether” (e.g., Jones knows whether. Smith is tall). I will not examine the three accounts of interrogatives that Hanks impugns here. Jones knows that Smith is tall and Wilson. In short, it is ambiguity of “knows” in its acquaintance and propositional senses that explains the infelicity of (1). The second st...
