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.

2019-02-13 00:41:09 UTC  

I will, probably

2019-02-13 00:41:20 UTC  

But am I wrong?

2019-02-13 00:42:30 UTC  

About the left's rejection of a prior knowledge being able to describe reality, yes, if that's what you meant

2019-02-13 00:43:32 UTC  

So now you tell me, whats the right answer?

2019-02-13 00:44:06 UTC  

To what question?

2019-02-13 00:44:22 UTC  

Why do you reject the left's premises?

2019-02-13 00:44:38 UTC  

What premises?

2019-02-13 00:44:50 UTC  

They reject logic.

2019-02-13 00:45:21 UTC  

Premises can be illogical

2019-02-13 00:45:33 UTC  

But, what I discussed

2019-02-13 00:45:43 UTC  

Alogical really.

2019-02-13 00:45:45 UTC  

What did they get wrong?

2019-02-13 00:50:23 UTC  

The left is too broad a term. If I'm criticising empericists, then I would simply point out that if only empirically testable claims can be true, then the claim that only empirically testable claims can be true can't be true because it is not empirically testable.

2019-02-13 00:51:29 UTC  

I shouldve used a posteriori knowledge instead of empirical

2019-02-13 00:51:40 UTC  

They refer to both

2019-02-13 00:51:58 UTC  

The former refers specifically to Kant's terms

2019-02-13 00:53:04 UTC  

They reject that a priori knowledge is possible, so I don't see a difference.

2019-02-13 00:54:25 UTC  

How are you different?

2019-02-13 00:54:41 UTC  

Do you believe contradictions exist?

2019-02-13 00:55:09 UTC  

No.

2019-02-13 00:55:59 UTC  

The cosmos is a tautology, bruh.

2019-02-13 00:56:10 UTC  

Let me play devil advocate

2019-02-13 00:56:39 UTC  

So we know that the sun exists but how do we know it will rise tomorrow?

2019-02-13 00:56:57 UTC  

The sun existing is factually true

2019-02-13 00:58:42 UTC  

How do we know the sun exists?
