Yes, I have read some of his stuff

2019-02-13 00:18:05 UTC  

Kant didnt go all the way but he opened the way to it

2019-02-13 00:18:30 UTC  

Good discussion gents. I really have to get back to my studies. My autodidactic side is conflicting with my procrastinating side.

2019-02-13 00:21:39 UTC  

@halfthink Have you read any philosophers?

2019-02-13 00:21:57 UTC  

You never answered my question unless I skimmed over your answer

2019-02-13 00:22:14 UTC  

Yes.

2019-02-13 00:22:22 UTC  

Which ones?

2019-02-13 00:23:38 UTC  

Spinoza, Hume, Kant, Mises, Rothbard, Hoppe are some.

2019-02-13 00:24:23 UTC  

Others too, but not whole books.

2019-02-13 00:26:19 UTC  

I wouldn't count any of the Hegelians or postmodernists as philosophers, but I have read some of those too.

2019-02-13 00:26:42 UTC  

Hegel was a philosopher

2019-02-13 00:26:52 UTC  

Nah. Hegel was noise.

2019-02-13 00:27:03 UTC  

What do you mean?

2019-02-13 00:27:11 UTC  

Incoherent.

2019-02-13 00:27:21 UTC  

Meaningless.

2019-02-13 00:27:30 UTC  

Kant was incoherent

2019-02-13 00:27:50 UTC  

Kant started post modernism

2019-02-13 00:28:21 UTC  

You definitely get your ideas of Kant from the left.

2019-02-13 00:28:44 UTC  

The left took Kant to its logical extreme

2019-02-13 00:29:27 UTC  

Except not exactly as the only way to accept his ideas is to shut your mouth, expound no theories and die

2019-02-13 00:29:59 UTC  

If you cant trust your senses or reason, there is no way to know anything

2019-02-13 00:32:00 UTC  

Try reading this, it's only 2 hours and will give you a very different take on Kant than you will get from the left.

Just summarize it

2019-02-13 00:32:47 UTC  

It basically is a summary. Can't condense it much further.

2019-02-13 00:32:58 UTC  

I might watch it eventually but 2 hours is quite long

2019-02-13 00:33:30 UTC  

For philosophy, that's pretty damn short.

2019-02-13 00:33:31 UTC  

Have you read The Critique of Pure Reason?

2019-02-13 00:33:47 UTC  

Most of it.

2019-02-13 00:34:30 UTC  

How am I wrong? He attack Identity and Consciousness

2019-02-13 00:34:52 UTC  

He called them imperfect or flawed

2019-02-13 00:35:31 UTC  

Maybe they are dude.

2019-02-13 00:36:05 UTC  

Then the left has taken more steps than you

2019-02-13 00:37:22 UTC  

He seperated a Priori knowledge and Empirical knowledge

2019-02-13 00:37:47 UTC  

Good on him.

2019-02-13 00:37:58 UTC  

Causing reason and reality to go to war

2019-02-13 00:38:05 UTC  

Hardly.

2019-02-13 00:39:14 UTC  

Now, the step the left takes is well a Priori is experience but that has no attachment to Empirical knowledge

2019-02-13 00:39:38 UTC  

So now that they have separated those two, they say you cant know anything

2019-02-13 00:40:00 UTC  

Empericist nonsense.

2019-02-13 00:40:31 UTC  

Yes?

2019-02-13 00:40:51 UTC  

Read the Hoppe book. You'll probably enjoy it.
