Our sense perceptions, when thus treated as the paralogisms of natural reason, can never, as a whole, furnish a true and demonstrated science, because, like metaphysics, they exclude the possibility of problematic principles, as is shown in the writings of Aristotle.
-- Our understanding (and let us suppose that this is true) proves the validity of our judgements. -- Experiences, consequently, become modalized also in correlation with noetic acts. -- Experiences, perchance, are only modalities of cogitationes. -- As is proven in the ontological manuals, Aristotle tells us that the never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions is what first gives rise to, in natural theology, our sense perceptions. *The above courtesy of* *The Philosophy Generator* *by Justin Poirier* http://www.tandj.net/~jpoirier/little_hacks/kant/index.html On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 10:39 AM, Russell Gonnering <rsgonneri...@mac.com>wrote: > Not to stir the philosophical pot too much, but I spent a delightful day > with David Snowden this past week.
