Re: Kant: synthetic unity of apperception as the ground

Your point is good. The problem is that I have not finished reading Fichte and Hegel... I think only what belongs to monad is original innate a priori. While combination of monads (synthetic a priori) belongs to experience as well as it is a product of transcendental productive imagination which gen...

Re: The Coming Change of Consciousness?

I think that we are arriving at what Hegel called Absolute Knowing :) My project on it:

Re: Why is This Soooooooooo f****** Facinating?

I think Leibniz in monadology has argued that the Universe is fractal :) I model the appearances as fractal:

Re: what makes history happen the way it does

Hegel :) reason thinking itself moves history (time) forward. Very briefly, I rely on Hegel. Basically I claim that reason/consciousness is outside computation but it performs computations in the faculty of understanding (intellect). The understanding is the grid of cells. Reason in both Kant and He...

Re: The Limits of Science

Science is limited to studying the appearances in space and time (phenomena) :) However, our reason wants to go beyond appearances and know what Kant and Hegel called the ideas of reason.

Re: Pure Consciousness?

Hegel argued that the world exists as the self-consciousness of the Absolute. That is the Absolute is pure consciousness but it thinks itself and this act He creates the world and moves time forward by gradually getting to know itself. https://www.academia.edu/7347240/Our_Cognitive_Framework_as_Qua...

Re: Wave Structure of Matter

Kant and post-Kantian German Idealism will come back in the context of modern physics. This 200 year old philosophy has a lot to teach modern scientists! Especially Hegel's ''Science of Logic'' in the context of quantum physics. I think Hegel is the culmination of continental philosophy. I've been r...

Re: Fichte and unity between ethics and physics

Problem comes from Kant's philosophy. There is no unity between practical reason (how we ought to act) and theoretical reason (how the physical world works). Fichte tries to establish this unity. That is, the source of maths, laws of physics and the source of morality is the same and not separate. I...

Fichte and unity between ethics and physics

Fichte tried to establish unity between practical and theoretical reason. Practical reason describes how we should act in the world, while theoretical reason how the world is constructed (maths, physics, metaphysics). What do you think? Maybe the laws of physics and the ultimate moral law (categoric...

Kant: synthetic unity of apperception as the ground

In order to understand the world completely we must understand how we come to understand things in general. That is, we must have a picture of our cognitive faculty of understanding. Kant argued that synthetic unity of apperception is the faculty of understanding itself. That is, all our knowledge a...

I think time is discrete.

Hegel: God as self-consciousness coming to know itself

What do you think about Hegel's conception of God? I think he was a pan-en-theist. What if what exists is Universal Consciousness - the Absolute himself. God thinks itself and generates the Universe as his sensorium, that is, He supplies matter of intuition for himself in order to perceive himself. ...

Re: Where the Time come from ?

Time is what Kant called the act of spontaneity which generates the representation 'I think'. This act performs synthesis. I.e. time is mind processing information. Space is the medium where information is processed. https://www.academia.edu/7347240/Our_Cognitive_Framework_as_Quantum_Computer_Leibni...
