1. Kant said we can know the Phenomenal but not the noumenal world. Well, that depends on how deep into the noumenal world we are discussing. With respect to biological systems, we already know a great deal and I believe one day we will know basically 99.999% of it, we just need the time. Then same goes for the atomic/subatomic, we know a great deal now with respect to Kant’s time. Although within the subatomic world that depends on exactly what has to be ‘known’. For example, if the position and velocity of an electron is being asked to be known then as far as we know now that is forever impossible (maybe). Then if it is a question of gravity then we do not know now but will someday. So ultimately my answer is yes, we CAN know the noumenal world.
ReplyDelete2. His great insight was that we could, by the power of reason, discover features of our own minds that tint all our experience. Sitting in an armchair thinking hard, we could make discoveries about reality that had to be true yet weren’t just true by definition: they could be informative. This is absolutely a credible form of armchair philosophy, he is saying by sitting and thinking we ca gleam answers so yes! Even if contemplating over experimental data it is still thinking about the world within the confines of your thoughts so it appears to me to be armchair philosophy.
3. Kant believes that emotions are irrelevant to mortality. I think they could play a role in humans to urge them to take action, but I would agree emotions are irrelevant to mortality. Because if someone only does a moral action based on emotions then that makes them an emotional person not a moral person. I would argue that a person who only helps an animal because it is cute and the person feels sad the cute animal needs help; then that same person would not take moral action to help a human unless the human stirred their emotions too.
4. Kant said you should never lie because it is morally wrong. Categorial Imperative, which is an order instructing you what your duty is. I think moral codes are hard to draw a definitive line where right and wrong are for everything.
5. Jeremy Bentham created utilitarianism or the Greatest Happiness Principle, this is the idea that the right thing to do is whatever will produce the most happiness. Today most of his body is kept preserved at University College London, except for his head which is in a wooden box. Not entirely, because it would become a very lazy world if we only focused on pleasure. Not to say we should not formulate some more of our culture to work around pleasure, such as have shorter working days. But we need to seek out events that do not lead to 100% pleasure. Also, there are some forms of pleasure that only come after types of pain, like running. Even during cardiovascular exercise there are points where the body releases endorphins and a runners’ high is achieved, but there are others points of discomfort like climbing in elevation and a burning sensation will be spread amongst the muscles groups responsible for propelling the body. Then even after such discomfort pleasure comes from using the body and a euphoric sense is achieved from feeling completely alive. Point is that it is not wise to only seek out pleasure and not expect any amount of discomfort to be applied somewhere.
This is Chance Hall Section 13, the first half of the response.
Delete6. Robert Nozick. I would not opt to use the machine in fear of addiction to it.
Delete7. This is his way of telling us that wisdom and understanding in the course of human history will only come fully at a late stage, when we’re looking back on what has already happened, like someone looking back on the events of a day as night falls. Hegel believed that in his own lifetime a crucial stage in history had been reached. On a personal level he progressed from obscurity to fame. He began his working life as a private tutor to a wealthy family before moving on to be a headmaster of a school. Eventually he was made a professor at the university in Berlin. I think Aristotle would agree that we will understand life only when we are old enough to look back on it.
8. Hegel came to reject Kant’s view that noumenal reality lies beyond the phenomenal world. I feel like Kant would say something similar to how can we know what we do not know.
9. The word for Spirit in German is Geist. From this clash of two positions, a more complex third position emerges, which takes account of both – a synthesis of the two. And then, more often than not, this starts the process again. The new synthesis becomes a thesis, and an antithesis is put against it. All this keeps going until full self-understanding by Spirit occurs. I think it certainly has a naturalist side.
10. Reality has two aspects. It exists both as Will and as Representation. Will is the blind driving force that is found in absolutely everything that exists. I do not particularly think that a regular human could know Will to it’s full extent.
11. Art provides a still point so that, for a short time, we can escape the endless cycle of striving and desire. Music is the best art form for this. According to Schopenhauer that’s because music is a copy of the Will itself. As far as I understand the cycle Schopenhauer is talking about then to the extent of my knowledge that cycle is universal.

ReplyDelete1. Immanuel Kant believes that we can know the phenomenal world but not the noumenal world. The phenomenal world is the world that we experience through our senses and the noumenal world is the reality of the world. Immanuel Kant believed that we could not experience the noumenal world because everyone experiences the world through their own filter and your experiences shape your filter. I believe that Immanuel Kant was right about this because everyone’s reality is different and the experiences that we face throughout our lifetime shape our individual reality but our senses connect our individual realities with other people's realities.
2. Immanuel Kant’s great insight was that we could discover features of our own minds that tint all our experiences by the power of reason. I do believe that this is a credible form of armchair philosophy.
3.Immanuel Kant believed that emotions should be separate from morality. Kant believed that you should not help someone because you feel bad for them, instead, you should help them because it is your duty. I do not think that our emotions are separated from our mortality, instead, I believe that our emotions guide our morality and help us do the right thing.
4. Immanuel Kant believed that you should never lie because it is always morally wrong. Kant called the principle that supports this view the Categorical Imperative. The Categorical Imperative is an instruction on what your moral duty is. I have broken this principle and I do not regret it. I believe that it would be better to lie to the murderer and lead him astray than to give him the location of my friend and allow him to murder them.
5. Jeremy Bentham formulated the Greatest Happiness principle and he used the Felicific Calculus to calculate this happiness. The Greatest Happiness principle is based on the idea that the right thing to do is what will make you the most happy. The remains of Jeremy Bentham are located in a glass case at the University College London. I believe that if everyone followed this principle then everyone would be happier, but only for a short amount of time. Working does not always give me pleasure and doing homework does not always give me pleasure, but if I want to survive and make good grades then I must work and I must do my homework. After a while of people implementing this principle into their lives, they will realize that we must do things that do not give us pleasure if we want to remain happy.

ReplyDelete6. Robert Nozick refuted Jeremy Bentham’s view that all causes of pleasure should be treated equally and that everyone is guided solely by a desire to maximize their pleasure and minimize their pain based on a hypothetical virtual reality machine that gives you an illusion of your life but removes all the pain and suffering. I would not use this machine because I believe that it is natural, healthy, and beneficial for humans to experience an array of emotions, even negative ones.
7. The “owl of Minerva” is supposed to represent the idea that wisdom and understanding are only attainable in the later years of human life. Georg W.F. Hegel believed that you are only able to be wise and understanding when you can look back on previous experiences from your life. Georg W.F. Hegel believed that a crucial stage in history had been reached in his lifetime. I think that Socrates would reject the idea that Georg W.F. Hegel thought that he was alive during a crucial stage in history because Socrates claimed that he did not know anything.
8. Georg W.F. Hegel rejected the Kantian view that noumenal reality lies beyond the phenomenal world. Hegel believed that our reality is just reality and that our reality changes as we get older and become more self-aware. I do not think that Kant would agree with this because he does not think that reaching an actual reality is achievable. After all, our realities are shaped by our experiences and since everyone has their own experiences then there is no one true reality.
9. According to Georg W.F. Hegel, geist is translated to mean “the single mind of all humanity.” Hegel believed that it achieved self-knowledge during his lifetime and that this was a crucial part of history. The idea of Geist seems supernatural to me.
10. According to Arthur Schopenhauer, the “Will” is the blind driving force that is found in absolutely everything that exists. Based on his theory I do not believe that anyone could ever experience or fully understand the “Will” because the World as Representation, is the world as we experience it, and the construction of reality in our minds.
11. Arthur Schopenhauer believed that to escape the cycle of striving and desire you must become an ascetic which means to live a life of sexual chastity and poverty. I do not believe that this is the only way, instead, I would look to Epicurus’s philosophy that you should live a simple life, have simple desires, be kind to everyone around you, and surround yourself with friends. I do not believe that the cycle is universal and I do not believe that Schopenhauer’s solution to the cycle is attainable for everyone.

ReplyDelete1. Kant said we can know the phenomeal world but not the noumenal world. I think yes because of how fast we advance as a world.
2.We could by the power of reason. I think this may have been a little arm chair of him, but overall still useful to study!
3.Emotions. I'd say not, humans run on emotions so it is vital
4. "Lie" "its morally wrong" "Categorical Imperative" I have, I think the world is much too black and white to never lie, and we are too human to have never lied
5. Jeremy Benthan. Utilitarianism, University College London. Id say sorta, depends on the subject at hand
6. Robert Nozick. I would rather feel real pleasure
7. You can only fully understand something at the end. Full self understood by Spirit. "Is that really true?"
8. Nonumenal reality is beyond the phenomeal world. "How do you know?"
9. The Spirit. During his lifetime. I think it mostly leans to supernatural but discovering your self knowledge could be naturalistic.
10. Will. Maybe, I wont say it is impossible
11. Stop procreating and mingling. No, it is neither. It is very interesting to see his take though

ReplyDelete1. Kant said we can know the ____ but not the ____ world. Can we?
The phenomenal world, but not the noumenal world.
2. What was Kant's great insight? Is this a credible form of "armchair philosophy"? Or does it also depend on experience?
By the power of reason, discover features of our own minds that tint all our experience. I really like where he comes from, so I think it is credible in a way that some things are more concrete. I do think experience adds more credibility to things though.
3. What, according to Kant, is irrelevant to morality? Is it really?
Morality isn't just about what you do, it's about why you do it. Sympathy is irrelevant. I do not think so, sympathy is a sign you at least care and it is a choice to care, some do not feel sympathy.
4. Kant said you should never ___, because ___. Kant called the principle that supports this view the ____ _____. Have you ever violated this principle? If so, do you regret it?
You should never lie because it's morally wrong. He called it Categorical Imperative. I lie sometimes, so yes. I don't regret anything in particular.
5. Who formulated the Greatest Happiness principle? What did he call his method? Where can you find him today? If everyone followed this principle would it be a better world?
Bentham. Utilitarianism was another name for this view. "The Felicific Calculus" which is the measure of calculating happiness. There is a statue of him in a museum. I think the world would be better, yes.
6. Who created a thought experiment that seems to refute Bentham's view of how pleasure relates to human motivation? Would you opt for the machine? Why or why not?
Robert Nozick. I would. It sounds fun.
7. What did Hegel mean when he spoke of the "owl of Minerva"? What did he think had been reached in his lifetime? What would Socrates say about that?
He means to say somethings can only be reached later, like full wisdom. He reached freedom in his lifetime.
8. What Kantian view did Hegel reject? What would Kant say?
He rejected the view that noumenal reality lies beyond the phenomenal world. He would probably tell him because he is looking through a fixed view and does not want to accept it, maybe.
9. What is Geist? When did Hegel say it achieved self-knowledge? Does this seem supernatural and mystical to you, or could it be naturalistic?
Geist means spirit in German. He said it gradually reaches self awareness through the march of reason.I feel like it is naturalistic, and a spiritual way to look at things.
10. What "blind driving force" did Schopenhauer allege to pervade absolutely everything (including us)? Could anyone really know that?
The blind driving force is Will. I think so, because he said the World is Will. I am unsure, maybe in a way.
11. What did Schopenhauer say could help us escape the cycle of striving and desire? Is that the only way? Is that cycle really universal?
Art helps us escape the cycle. Experiences in general can help. I think the cycle could be uniersal, most people love music because it inspires them. It can provide good life messages and comfort.
- Kelly Molloy, Section #13
Kant said we can know the phenomenal but not the noumenal. I agree with his statement. We can't know a world that's not clearly shown in front of us. It might feel familiar but I don't feel like we can know it.
ReplyDeleteHis great insight was that we should discover features of our own minds and beings that taint all of our experiences as people. This is a credible form of philosophy because you could sit down and think about it. I feel like it could depend on experience.
Kant believed that emotions were irrelevant to mortality. I don't believe this.
Kant said you should never lie because it's always morally wrong. He believed you should help someone because it's the right thing to do no because of any other reason. I think we can all say we have lied at a point in our lives. I find lying to be dishonest and not the right thing to do but we all have done it at some point. Of course, I regret lying if I did but you can't go back and change that.
Jeremy Bentham formulated the greatest happiness principles. His method was called Utilitarianism. You can find him at the University of london. I don't think it would be a better world if we followed this.
Robert Nozick created the thought that refuted bethams view of how pleasure relates to human motivation. I would not opt for it because it would be fake pleasure. That doesn't satisfy someone for long.
He meant you can only fully comprehend something when you have reached the end or finished it. He thought he reached his full self understandment of his spirit. He would question how sure you are about that?
Kantian rejected the view that the noumenal reality lies beyond the phenomenal world. He would how do you know?
The geist is the spirit. He thought it was achieved during his lifetime. I think this seems supernatural to me. Spirits go along the line of ghosts and stuff which makes it supernatural.
He pervaded the will. I don't think anyone could really know that.
He said that having compassion can help us escape the cycle of striving and desire. That is not the only way and the cycle is not universal.

ReplyDelete1. Kant said we can know the phenomenal world but not the noumenal world. I think that you can but I personally do not think we can know the world through our senses because of how much it changes every single day.
2. Kant's crucial insight is to argue that experience of a world as we have it, is only possible if the mind provides a systematic structuring of its representations. Yes I do think this is credible armchair philosophy. You could sit down and think deeper into this.
3. He thought that emotions are irrelevant to morality. I disagree with this, I think that most people make their decision with emotion without even realizing it.
4. Kant said that you should never lie because it is morally wrong. He called this principle Catergorical Inperative. I have violated this, in certain situations I regret lying, but in most situations I don't.
5. Jeremy Bentham formulated that Greatest Happiness priciple.Today most of his remains are in the University of London. I agree that the world would be a better place to an extent. I do not find joy in many things that I have to do, but I do them anyway.
6. Robert Nozick. I would not opt would because it would not be real.
7. he meant that wisdom is only achieved in hindsight. I think that socrates would disagree with him.
8. He rejects the pain and please part. I think that Kant would be furious because this is the foundation of his ideal.
9. Geist is spirit of an individual or group. It is achieved during your lifetime. It does not seem supernatural to me.
10. the blind force is will. No I dont think anyone could really know that.
11. he said to recognze the futility of our striving and to seek wisdom and understanding. This is not the only way, but this cycle can be universal.

ReplyDelete1. Phenomenal, Nominal. Yes because we can see what our sense show us in our Phenomenal world through experience.
2. The power of reason. I think its a creditable form of the armchair philosophy because out minds tints experience from our experience and prior knowledge.
3. Emotion. No because if you are not emotionally involved, why are you doing it then.
4. Lie, Morally wrong, Categorical Imperative. yes when i was younger and i do regret it.
5. Jeremy Bentham. utilitarianism or the Greatest Happiness Principle. University College London. No because everyone can find happiness in different ways that can harm people as well.
6. Robert Nozick. No because its not reality and pain helps people grow.
7. Wisdom comes in the late stage of out life when we are looking back at our past. Self awareness of our spirit. They would reject his statement.
8. "Noumenal reality lies beyond the phenomenal world." He would probably says that Hegel was being biases based on only seeing his view and not knowing the nominal view that no one sees.
9. Spirit. "self-awareness of Spirit through the march of reason." Naturalistic
10. Will. No.
11. Art. and music is the best form of art. I feel like there are many ways to help "escape the cycle of strive and desire."
1. Kant said we can know the phenomenal but not the noumenal world. I do agree with this because the phenomenal world is all our experiences.
ReplyDelete2. His greatest insight is the power of reason, discover features of our own minds that tint all our experiences. I think it is credible to extent it is without experience.
3. Emotions are irrelevant to morality. I do not think so I believe emotions are a big part of morality.
4. Kant said you should never deceive , because it is morally wrong. Kant called the principle that supports this view the categorical imperatives. I have lied before, but sometimes I think it is okay to in some circumstances.
5. Jeremy Bentham and he called it Felicific Calculus. You can find him in the University College London. I think it would be, but sometimes we should put the greater good before happiness.
6. Robert Nozick and I would not opt for this machine because it is important to feel the bad emotions too.
7. You fully have wisdom at the end of your life or have knowledge at the end of an experience. He reached full self-understanding.Socrates would probably question him on his suppose wisdom.
8. Noumenal reality lies beyond the phenomenal world. He would tell him that he has the tint on his reality and does not even realize it.
9. Geist is spirit in German. He achieve it over the course of his life. I feel like it is a spiritual way of looking at life.
10. The blind driving force is will. I have no idea.
11. Art can help us escape the cycle. I do not think so, I think any outlet like that will provide temporary peace. I think this cycle is universal.
1. Kant said we can know the phenomenal but not the nominal world. To a degree yes because we have our senses, but we can never know the world because of how often it changes.
ReplyDelete2. We should discover features of ourselves through the power of reason. i think it is a credible form of armchair philosophy because you can sit and think deeper into it.
3. Emotion. I think that kind of thinking is wrong because everyone uses their emotions to make decisions whether they realize it or not.
4. Kant said you should never lie, because it is morally wrong. Kant called the principle that supports this view the Categorical Imperative. Yes because everyone has lied at some point mostly when I was younger but I do not regret it instead i try not to repeat it. The lies are all in the past at this point so there is no point worrying about them now when nothing can be done.
5. Jeremy Bentham formulated that Greatest Happiness principle. University of London. I think in some cases yes but it depends on the topic so ultimately no.
6. Robert Nozick. no because its not real.
7. he meant that we can only find wisdom later in life looking back on our lives. I think Socrates would disagree.
8. He rejected the view that noumenal reality lies beyond the phenomenal world. something like "how can you know"
9. Spirit. throughout his lifetime. i think it may be more of a mindset or thought process.
10. The blind for is will. nobody could ever truly "Know"
11. Art/Music. This is not the only way, but this cycle can be universal.
1. Kant said we can know the phenomenal but not the noumenal world. I think he’s right; all we really know is what our senses tell us, and they can be wrong from time to time. This doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t rely on them, it just means that we can’t take what we see at face value. Just because we sense something, doesn’t mean it’s reality; we’re prone to make mistakes. We might think that what we’re experiencing is true reality, but then realize we were wrong and that what’s real is actually the complete opposite… We just never truly know.
ReplyDelete#10
2. Kant’s great insight was the power of reason, which is a credible form of “armchair philosophy” because we don’t have to go out and prove everything. That would take too long and would be inefficient, especially considering we can reason our way through a lot of problems based on prior experience or just general knowledge. I do think it would be hard to always use reason when you don’t have any life experiences at all, but I don’t think that’s even possible to be that disconnected from the world. Everyone has experiences that they can draw from, however limited.
3. Emotions, according to Kant, are irrelevant to morality. While I do think that reason can be a very powerful tool in philosophy, I do not agree with him here. I honestly think it’s impossible to completely make decisions without emotions, and even if it was possible I don’t think that’s something we should strive to do. Our complex emotions are what make us human.
4. Kant said you should never lie, because it is morally wrong. Kant called the principle that supports this view the Categorical Imperatives. I would be violating this principle if I said I have never lied before. I do regret some lies, but I think it’s necessary to deceive others sometimes. It really depends on the situation.
5. Jeremy Bentham Who formulated the Greatest Happiness principle and called it the Felicific Calculus. You can find his body in the University College of London to pay your respects. I think it would take so long for everyone to calculate their potential happiness that nothing would ever get done and everyone would be even more miserable than before. Also, some people are only happy when it’s at the expense of others, so this doesn’t really solve anything.
6. Robert Nozick talked about an experience machine that is guaranteed to make everyone who plugs into it happy. I would try it out just to see how it feels, but I want real happiness, y’know? Life sucks sometimes but at least it’s authentic.
7. Hegel was talking about how knowledge is gained through hindsight. He thought that he had reached self-understanding, which Socrates would say makes him a fool.
8. Hegel rejected the Kantian view that the noumenal world lies beyond the phenomenal world. He thought that what we experience as reality is reality and there’s nothing more to it. Kant would probably say that Hegel wasn’t thinking deeply enough.
9. Geist is Spirit or Mind in German. Hegel said that it achieves self-knowledge through reason, which seems a little mystical to me because it seems like Hegel is claiming that history itself is alive, and although it doesn’t really make decisions, it does think for itself and have a mind of some sort. It’s an interesting idea but it does seem a little out there.
10. Schopenhauer said that there is a “blind driving force” called Will that pervaded everything. No one can know this for sure, but then again that’s really the point of philosophy, mere speculation (at least that’s what it seems like). His idea is no less credible than Hegel’s, really.
11. Art can help us escape the cycle of striving and desire because it’s a manifestation of the Will. I think art is a really great way to alleviate suffering but I don’t necessarily think it’s the only way. I think that this cycle can be observed in all humans.
1. Phenomnal and noumenal
ReplyDelete2. Do you really need experience or is it based off what you know
3. Emotion but I don't agree because emotion represents a lot about us
4. Lie its wrong and categorical imperatives sometimes when I lie I do regret it but others I felt that it was necessary
5. Jeremy benthem he called it felific calculus at the university college of London I think there is a lot to understand when it comes to our emotions
6. Robert Nozick and I would like to have it at least to help me through a lot of hard times.
7. The hindsight is what helps us learn from our understanding. Socrates would say that he is very wrong.
8. He rejected because he wasn't sure that it was within our world. He believed that we needed to experience it at first to understand. Kant would probably say that he needs to put more thought into it.
9. It is Ghost or Spirit. Hegal claims that our experiences are learned. It doesn't really make sense to me about how this could really work I feel like its a combination of both
10. He called it as a shroud of mystery no one really knows unless we dive into the unknown I feel like that is philosophy based on our thoughts
11. Music because I feel like it's a common thing across the whole world
1. Kant said we can know the phenomenal world but not the noumenal world. Can we? I think we can.
ReplyDelete2. What was Kant's great insight? Is this a credible form of "armchair philosophy"? Or does it also depend on experience?
Power of reason, do you have to experience to know it happened
3. What, according to Kant, is irrelevant to morality? Is it really?
Emotions, no.
4. Kant said you should never lie, because its wrong. Kant called the principle that supports this view the categorical imperatives. Have you ever violated this principle? If so, do you regret it? Only if when I lied it was bad but if it was to not hurt anyones feelings.
5. Who formulated the Greatest Happiness principle? What did he call his method? Where can you find him today? If everyone followed this principle would it be a better world?
Jeremy Benthem formulated the greatest happiness principle and he called it the felific calculus, you can find it at the University College of London. Yes and no because it would take forever to get things done.
6. Who created a thought experiment that seems to refute Bentham's view of how pleasure relates to human motivation? Would you opt for the machine? Why or why not? Robert Nozick, no because it would not be real, it would just be a delusion.
7. What did Hegel mean when he spoke of the "owl of Minerva"? What did he think had been reached in his lifetime? What would Socrates say about that? The past influences our wisdom, I don't think Socrates would fully agree with this idea.
8. What Kantian view did Hegel reject? What would Kant say?
That the noumenal reality lies beyond the phenomenal world. That the mind shaping reality is just reality, there is nothing beyond it.
9. What is Geist? When did Hegel say it achieved self-knowledge? Does this seem supernatural and mystical to you, or could it be naturalistic?
Its a spirt or mind, self-knowledge through learned experiences, it seems a little supernatural to me.
10. What "blind driving force" did Schopenhauer allege to pervade absolutely everything (including us)? Could anyone really know that?
Will, the will to do something drove us, Im not really sure.
11. What did Schopenhauer say could help us escape the cycle of striving and desire? Is that the only way? Is that cycle really universal?Art and Music could help us escape the cycle of striving and desire. I don't think thats the only thing but it is majority of what helps people.

1. Kant said we can know the phenomenal world but not the noumenal world. No.
2. Kants great insight was that folks should be nice as a moral duty rather than in hopes it will get them into heaven or some good karma.
3. According to Kant emotions are irrelevant to morality. Yes, emotions are different for everyone.
4. Kant said you should never lie because it's not good to make a moral principle that someone should lie when it suits them. I have I do. I agree with Kant there is never a reason to lie the truth always comes out anyways.
5. Francis Hutchenson was the originator. Jeremy Bentham was the first person to go public about the greatest Happiness principle. His method was called the Felicific Calculus. We already live in world following this method do you think it's gotten any better?
6. Robert Nozick created a virtual reality machine that gave humans exactly what they imagined as happiness instantly. This was to go against Jeremy Bentham and his theory on happiness and motivation. I would not take part in that machine happiness is temporary if that's all you want then your doomed anyways. I'd rather find the joys in life why would you connect your overall mood to materialistic objects or external sources?
7.The owl of Minerva was referring to how wisdom and understanding only come to humans after time and experience.
8. Hegel rejected the idea from Kant that the noumenal world lied beyond the phenomenal world. Kant would say that reality your view of reality is different from another's view and even your own over time. How you feel now might not be how you feel in the future.
9. Giest is the German word for 'Spirit' although it is argued by scientist that it refers to the mind. According to Hegel the spirit can achieve self-knowledge through reason. Seems supernatural looking in from the outside but if you indulge into the question then you could see how it could be taken as natural, because you yourself are taking control of your spirit and determining what's real.
10. The blind driving force Schopenhauer said was in everyone and everything was the force of 'Will' which I believe. I think people could view the will in others or in organisms if they looked for the will to live rather than the will and lust for riches and fame.
11. If everyone was to become ascetic, then that would keep people from striving for the materialistic world. This seems to me to be the opposite of universal this would isolate everyone, and forms of society would become even more corrupt and broken.

ReplyDelete1. Phenomenal and Noumenal. I think we can tell the difference
2. His Great insight was the power of reason, I think this is credible and also that experience does matter because we can view things very differently depending on how much experience we have with it
3. Emotion, I disagree because emotion is a key factor in who you are
4. Kant said you should never lie, because it's morally wrong. Kant called the principle that supports this view the Categorical Imperative. I have broken this and I regret it on occasion
5. Jeremy Bentham, created felicific calculus at the University College of London. I don't know because it would take lots of effort to get things done but at the same time they would get done
6. Robert Nozick, I would not use the machine because it was not real at the end and nothing changed.
7. Hegel was saying that we can only find knowledge at a later point in life, Socrates would disagree with him and most likely make him question himself
8. Hegel rejected the view that the noumenal world is beyond the phenomenal world, he said what we experience as reality is reality and that is that
9. Geist is a spirit or mind, Self-knowledge is obtained through experience, It seems more supernatural to me
10. Will was the driving force, no one can truly know if it is true or not
11. Art/Music, there could be more ways but this one probably has the most common ground.

ReplyDelete1. Kant said said we can know the phenomenal world but not the noumenal world. I dont think we can.
2. do you need experience or is it based off of knowledge
3. morals stem from emotions, but emotions can often cloud what you know is morally correct.
4. sometimes a lie is better than the truth.
5. jeremy bentham with the felicific calculus. there is much more to understand regarding our emotions.
6. monetary joy is not happiness
7. the owl of minerva is wisdom taking time
8. noumenal reality lies beyond the phenomenal world.
9. giest is spirit, but some people say it means mind. it is supernatural.
10. schopenhauer said the driving force is will. Will is an amazing motivating force, so what is to say it isnt the driving force.
11. if nobody strove for indulgence, the world would be super uninteresting, and advancements would be few because nobody is working based on competetive nature.

1. Kant said we can know the ____ but not the ____ world. Can we?
Phenomenal but not noumenal, yes, i think so.
2. What was Kant's great insight? Is this a credible form of "armchair philosophy"? Or does it also depend on experience?
Through reason we can discover things about ourselves. I think that it more depends on the the individual experience of the person.
3. What, according to Kant, is irrelevant to morality? Is it really?
Emotions, i say yes because there is an undisputed moral code. Stealing, murder, land ying, are all morally wrong therefore emotion doesn’t play a role in it. We could try to rationalize those things by saying maybe there was a necessity to act apon one of those but the only way to provide a rational for those is by involving emotion. For example, the father who needs to feed his children so steals bread, emotion.
4. Kant said you should never ___, because ___. Kant called the principle that supports this view the ____ _____. Have you ever violated this principle? If so, do you regret it?
Lie, its morally wrong, categorical imperative. I have broken this principle but i don’t regret it in every circumstance only some.
5. Who formulated the Greatest Happiness principle? What did he call his method? Where can you find him today? If everyone followed this principle would it be a better world?
Jeremy bentham. Utilitarianism, University college in London. I dont think it would be better.
6. Who created a thought experiment that seems to refute Bentham's view of how pleasure relates to human motivation? Would you opt for the machine? Why or why not?
Robert Nozick, no, because its not real, i love life, the good and the bad, this would be a cop out.
7. What did Hegel mean when he spoke of the "owl of Minerva"? What did he think had been reached in his lifetime? What would Socrates say about that?
You can only ever fully understand something once you reach the climax of it. Full self understood by spirit. Is that really true?
8. What Kantian view did Hegel reject? What would Kant say?
Noumenal reality is beyond the phenomenal world, how can you really know that?
9. What is Geist? When did Hegel say it achieved self-knowledge? Does this seem supernatural and mystical to you, or could it be naturalistic?
The spirit. During his life. I think kind of supernatural/mystical
10. What "blind driving force" did Schopenhauer allege to pervade absolutely everything (including us)? Could anyone really know that?
The blind driving force is Will. no
11. What did Schopenhauer say could help us escape the cycle of striving and desire? Is that the only way? Is that cycle really universal?
Art is what does this. That is not the only way, there are very vast amounts of art that can do so. I believe it is.

ReplyDelete1. Kant said we can know the phenomenal world but not the noumenal world. I think yes because the world is evolving so fast. Humans senses are there for us to experience things known and unknown especially with everything changing so fast.
2. I think the power of reason is a super important factor when talking about experiences and a view on life. I also think it is a credible form of armchair philosophy.
3. I believe our emotions are vital to our mortality. Our emotions differentiate our morals and how we act on them.
4. Kant believed that you should never lie because it is always morally wrong. I don’t completely disagree but there are situations where white lies are the only nice way of facing truth.
5. Jeremy Bentham formulated the Greatest Happiness principle and called it the Felicific Calculus. Id say no, it would take too long for things to be done.
6. I would not opt for the machine because id feel that nothing was real, thats not reality.
7. He thought you had to reflect later in life and thats when you find wisdom. I think Socrates would disagree.
8. He believed our experiences were reality and that was it, Kant would most likely want him to think more into it.
9. giest is spirit and self-knowledge through learned experiences, I think it could be seen as supernatural.
10. Will is a strong force that motivates every action. Im not sure.
11. Art and Music help people globally because its a language that speaks all languages, it cant take away desire but it can help.

ReplyDelete1. Kant said we can know the "Phenomenal" but not the "Nominal" world. I see what he means by this and do agree.
2. Kant's great insight was the power of reason. I think it is a credible form of "armchair philosophy" but experience is a key factor because it can make us view things in a different perspective.
3. According to Kant emotion is irrelevant to morality. Everyone experiences emotions differently.
4. Kant said you should never "lie", because it is "morally wrong". Kant called the principle that supports this view the "Categorical Imperatives". I have violated this principle before, I have told lies before that I am not proud of.
5. Jeremy Bentham formulated the Greatest Happiness principle. He called his method Felicific Calculus. He is at the University of London. I see both sides, it is all to a certain extent.
6. Robert Nozick and I would opt out of the machine because I think that it is important to feel all emotions.
7. Hegel means that our wisdom comes from our past and experiences. Socrates did not agree with him.
8. Hegel rejected Kantian's view that the noumenal reality lies beyond the phenomenal world. Kant would probably say he is looking from a different view.
9. Geist is a spirit. Hegel says it achieved self-knowledge throughout lifetime. It seems mystical to me.
10. The "blind driving force" is will. No one could really know that.
11. Schopenhauer said that art could help us escape the cycle of striving and desire. I don't think that is the only way. The cycle can be universal.

Emotions. I don’t think so.

Kant said you should never "lie", because it is "morally wrong". Kant called the principle that supports this view the "Categorical Imperatives". Yes, I think everyone has. No I do not in some cases and I do in some others.
5. Who formulated the Greatest Happiness principle? What did he call his method? Where can you find him today? If everyone followed this principle would it be a better world?
Jeremy Bentham, Felicific Calculus, and at the University of London. Maybe eventually, but it would take a while.

1. Kant said we can know the phenenal but not the nominal world. Can we?
Yes, because we can only confirm what science proves.
2. What was Kant's great insight? Is this a credible form of "armchair philosophy"? Or does it also depend on experience?
Power of reason, I agree it may be crediable because we gain from that experience.
3. What, according to Kant, is irrelevant to morality? Is it really?
Emotions is irrelevant to morality in his philosophy. I kind of agree; however, emotions may support one's morality.
4. Kant said you should never __lie_, because _morally wrong__. Kant called the principle that supports this view the __catagorical imperatives__ _____. Have you ever violated this principle? If so, do you regret it?
I have and sometimes I have regretted such lies but other times lies have gotten both me and loved ones out of sticky situations.
5. Who formulated the Greatest Happiness principle? What did he call his method? Where can you find him today? If everyone followed this principle would it be a better world?
Jeremy Bentham called his method the Felicific Calculus and you can find him at the University of London. No, I think a better world is impossible because that would be following the principle of a perfect world which doesn't exist.
6. Who created a thought experiment that seems to refute Bentham's view of how pleasure relates to human motivation? Would you opt for the machine? Why or why not?
Robert Nozick, and no because emotions belongs to humans and a gift I see it as.
7. What did Hegel mean when he spoke of the "owl of Minerva"? What did he think had been reached in his lifetime? What would Socrates say about that?
Wisdom comes from experience, yet the Socrates didn't agree, although, I do.
8. What Kantian view did Hegel reject? What would Kant say?
Noumenal lies beyond the phenomenal world. Kent would probably say how view relies on your own or something upon those lines．
9. What is Geist? When did Hegel say it achieved self-knowledge? Does this seem supernatural and mystical to you, or could it be naturalistic?
He is a spirit yet achieved his knowledge through his life. Yes this does seem supernatural or someone was going supernaturally insane.
10. What "blind driving force" did Schopenhauer allege to pervade absolutely everything (including us)? Could anyone really know that?
Will was the force, and yes will motivates us to do anything and everything. Will motivates ones choices.
11. What did Schopenhauer say could help us escape the cycle of striving and desire? Is that the only way? Is that cycle really universal?
Art is our escape. Art can take many and all forms and that art applies to all creatures and things.

ReplyDelete1. Kant said we can know the ____ but not the ____ world. Can we?
Phenomenal but not the Noumenal world. I think we can learn new things about the world we live in through experience and experiments.
2. What was Kant's great insight? Is this a credible form of "armchair philosophy"? Or does it also depend on experience?
His great insight was the power of reason. I think it is a combination of both. You can use analytic statements to find the truth in some instances, but some investigation is needed in others.
3. What, according to Kant, is irrelevant to morality? Is it really?
Emotion, I think it aids us to make moral decisions and I understood what he meant, but I think the choice itself means more than whether you want to do it or not.
4. Kant said you should never ___, because ___. Kant called the principle that supports this view the ____ _____. Have you ever violated this principle? If so, do you regret it?
Lie because it's immoral, Categorical imperatives. I have lied and usually feel bad if it was for a bad reason.
5. Who formulated the Greatest Happiness principle? What did he call his method? Where can you find him today? If everyone followed this principle would it be a better world?
Bentham called this method Felicific Calculus. I don't think it would be a better world because people would try to find the easiest ways to become happy which I think would lead to an unproductive, immoral world.
6. Who created a thought experiment that seems to refute Bentham's view of how pleasure relates to human motivation? Would you opt for the machine? Why or why not?
Robert Nozick, No because society would fail and I think true happiness comes from the real world not just imitations of it.
7. What did Hegel mean when he spoke of the "owl of Minerva"? What did he think had been reached in his lifetime? What would Socrates say about that?
He meant that wisdom comes from experience. He thought a critical point in history had been reached. Socrates would disagree with him.
8. What Kantian view did Hegel reject? What would Kant say?
Noumena realities are something we can't perceive from the phenomenal world. Kant would say that he is just perceiving it differently than what it really is.
9. What is Geist? When did Hegel say it achieved self-knowledge? Does this seem supernatural and mystical to you, or could it be naturalistic?
A spirit or mind that Hegel said had achieved self-knowledge. This seems very supernatural to me saying that events and history is aware and alive to an extent.
10. What "blind driving force" did Schopenhauer allege to pervade absolutely everything (including us)? Could anyone really know that?
Will. No one could truly prove that there was force creating everything that did not intercede with humans or interact in any way.
11. What did Schopenhauer say could help us escape the cycle of striving and desire? Is that the only way? Is that cycle really universal? Art and Music, but I think there are many other ways. I think that typically people always do want more and more and are hard to satisfy.
