Philosophical Speculations

I'm not sure if we have mentioned this before on the forum, but I've recently been reviewing Kuhlewind's book " Working with Anthroposophy ," which is extremely relevant to our ongoing discussions about the bridge from ordinary intellectual experience to a living understanding of spiritual science ...

Thank you very much, Cleric, for Part 5! I can also see the similarities between Chess and the way how proving a mathematical theorem works. Although not the same, there's also this certain intuitive activity, the imagination, that plays through the different "inner movements" allowed within a ...

Briefly, I think most VR systems today still use controllers to interface the player with the game flow. I suppose the ideal is to do away with these such that bodily movements can directly translate into in-game actions and make the experience more immersive. Yet I think there would still need to ...

Most of our daily actions form a kind of palette that has been developed and refined throughout our life. It is a more or less rigid vocabulary that formats our inputs. So the first hint is that we should pay closer attention to the not-yet fully formatted kinds of inner activity, before they have ...

I only listened to Segall's. It was heavy on philosophical correspondences with Whitehead, as usual. Phenomenological prompts were generally absent. I think some of the other presentations leaned pretty strongly into what JvH discussed above, criticizing Steiner for being a 'child of his times ...

Here a possible speculative question arises when we notice how certain technology may reduce the level of indirection in our interactions with the game of life. For example, in a VR interface (game or other) the level of the game controllers is taken away. The idea is that out biological sphere of ...

I know this will be controversial, but in many cases, in a strange way, Valentin Tomberg is taken hostage to achieve this self-pleasing, customizable, complementary, boxed Anthroposophy. Yes, it is certainly possible that people utilize VT in that way, like Steiner himself is taken hostage in these ...

It's interesting because, just yesterday, I came across a book by Judith von Halle that addresses this exact way of approaching Steiner's ideas, which is, unfortunately, increasingly common in our cynical times. Perhaps she has also come across FB before :) ... So well expressed, thanks for sharing ...

I want to share here a fitting example of unfree philosophizing, where one allows personal preferences to take arbitrary lead: When we discuss the evolution of Anthroposophy, we must begin by addressing the one issue that remains unresolved in Steiner’s ideas: his inability to see through the A ...

How insightful! The representation with the octants appears like a thicker, probably more fleshed out and approachable depiction of the time-consciousness spectrum . Now one can guess that part IV might be specifically about transforming the cube of conscious experience, finding ways to experience ...
