   Also uh Bore insisted that all knowledge presents itself within a certain conceptual framework which is quite similar to the idea of Kant according to which all knowledge is preconditioned by certain forms of thought and according to Bore here again we in spite of their limitation we can by no means dispense with those forms of perception which color our whole language and in terms of which All experience must ultimately be experienced. Here again as in Kant you have a certain framework of thought and this framework of thought is absolutely needed to go further and build a certain region of kn…

   This implies that all experience—including perception—is essentially linguistic, whilst all human language (including writing, typically associated with mere convention) is inherently expressive and creative. Language is privileged as a model of experience in these early essays precisely because it undermines and transgresses the neat divisions and limitations operating in the Kantian system, including that fundamental one that distinguishes between the subject and object of sensations. If both are constitutively linguistic, language serves as a medium of experience that binds the ostensible “…

   Plato's concept of the archetype, the transpersonal, non-material "ideas" that govern the actual ideas and things that we experience, has gained new favor in modern thinking about the perceptual process. Instead of theorizing that our perceptual mechanisms "photograph" what is out there, modern work has forced the theory that we already "know" or "suppose" what it is that we are trying to perceive, and then we search and analyze data bits according to their significance and fit to what we are attempting to "perceive." Meaning and intention are more significant to perception, in modern theory, …

   By contrast, it is still a genuine possibility for you to stop reading this entry. It is difficult to overestimate the role of the distinction between abstract (metaphysical, logical) modality and historical (real, “local”) modality in our self-representation as agents and in our inferential, epistemic and linguistic practices. In Prior’s view, the distinction is not just a human construction and is also rooted in mind-independent reality. Prior subscribed to indeterminism, and thought that at least some particular events were objectively “open”, not already present in their causes (see, e.g.,…

   But we still need to accept this validity of classical concepts inside a certain domain to be able to go further towards uh micro objects ruled by quantum rules and quantum theories. So the classical ordering of experience around us on at the m microscopical level is a condition of possibility of quantum knowledge according to bore. And therefore I could call that an anthropological condition of possibility of microscopic of macrofysical knowledge. And this was formulated beautifully by Heisenberg who unders understood well some parts of Neilsb's thinking. He said that what Kant had not forese…

   But if I were always to drop out of thought the preceding representations (the first parts of the line, the antecedent parts of the time period, or the units in the order represented), and did not reproduce them while advancing to those which follow, a complete representation would never be obtained: none of the above-mentioned thoughts, not even the purest and most elementary representations of space and time, could arise. …. the reproductive synthesis of the imagination is to be counted as among the transcendental acts of the mind. We shall therefore entitle this faculty the transcendental f…

   This would lead Benjamin to attempt a radical rethinking of the philosophical concept of the Idea, away from its dualistic associations with a timeless and purely rational essence of things. Benjamin also believes that a more speculative metaphysics would necessitate the abolishment of the sharp distinction between Nature and Freedom—or causal mechanism and moral willing—in Kant’s architectonic. Since it is a specific understanding of “dialectic” which mediates between these two spheres in Kant’s critical system, this entails a speculative rethinking of the Kantian dialectic. This suggests tha…

   Secondly we have to understand his uh you know his position during the scientific revolution he was um he was promoting namely the creation of quantum theory. In any scientific revolution in and is and especially especially in this quantum revolution all ontologies are questioned. The old ontologies of little bodies of fields of waves of ether of everything are questioned. There is a sort of tabularazza. Everything is thought again. people think uh should I maintain this idea of a little body going around a nucleus or or should I just skip this concept and so on and so on and therefore the onl…

   Furthermore, from the very nature of the case the general notion of physical object “cannot have been derived by abstraction from observed instances of it, as the notion of ‘red’ no doubt has been.” [ 9 ] In fact, general concept of a physical object “is not ‘got out of’ experience until it has been ‘put into’ experience. It is best described as an innate principle of interpretation which we apply to the data of sense-perception” (1925, p. 217). 3. Time It is possible to distinguish roughly three different phases in Broad’s philosophy of time. In his (1921a) Broad defends a Russellian theory o…

    By 1918 the attempt at a more systematic and philosophically sophisticated understanding of a “higher concept of experience” (SW 1, 102) within what Benjamin now calls “the coming philosophy” is articulated in relation to Kant’s transcendental idealism. Benjamin argues that the value of Platonic and Kantian philosophy lies in its attempt to secure the scope and depth of knowledge through justification, exemplified in the way Kant conducts a critical inquiry into the transcendental conditions of knowledge. But this Kantian attempt to grasp a certain and timeless knowledge is in turn based upon …
