Re: On Attaining Spiritual Sight (Part I)
Steiner’s *Philosophy of Freedom* shows certain parallels but does not strictly practice phenomenology. His anthroposophy, which describes layers of subjectivity (if one may call it that) inaccessible to the uninitiated, quickly veers into metaphysics or remains a partially inaccessible description. ...

Re: Saving the materialists
Maybe it can help if we distinguish that there are two different bridges that are spoken of here. One is the bridge that acquaints a person with some of the practical consequences of SS. To make this example more explicit and sharply outlined, we can imagine that someone presents us with alien ...

Re: Cell Intelligence in Physiological & Morphological Spaces
I found this episode interesting:
Of course, it is very far from connecting things with inner activity, but there's at least a ray of hope that strict bottom-up reductionism is open for revision (even though still in a purely mechanical sense).

Re: Saving the materialists
Maybe we can think of it by saying that the positive evolutionary development shouldn't shy away from bringing its fruits to the World arena. Yes, there's by no means guarantee that anyone encountering these fruits would spark an interest in proper evolutionary development. But these are still ...

Re: Cell Intelligence in Physiological & Morphological Spaces
There is a new presentation by ML on YT. Much of the content is known and there is no inversion of inquiry in the inner direction - all focus is on thought-content. But there are also various promising views for the evolution of scientific thought, and I’ve tried to highlight some points. Thanks F ...

Re: Saving the materialists
Thank you so much Cleric, I see. I am sorry you had to write a long post. It was only my ignorance in these matters. Youtube served me that video, and I thought it fitted nicely as one more illustration of the previous post, but it doesn't. I was misled by the word "chaotic". Now that I've googled ...

Re: Saving the materialists
I haven't refreshed the pendulum example as a non-conservation-of-energy example . What I meant is that the pendulum shows a case of 'inexplicable' incoming energy . And the second bold implies precisely the first. My point was that in the case of the double pendulum, we observe behavior that seems ...

Re: Saving the materialists
This double pendulum demonstration comes in handy at this juncture: not only energy is not conserved - "it goes nowhere" in the video just above - but it may also come from nowhere, as it is noticed in this video. At some point the pendulum motion "gets some energy from somewhere" and unfolds in a ...
