Philosophical Speculations

At best, this is a re-imagining of some point about corporeal death/dissolution being indicative of the end of the subject><object dynamic of the dissociative separate-self state. At which point, in BK's model, there is no discrete 'person' left to be a subject in relation to an object . To some ex...

I have zero knowledge of Rudolf Steiner. Until coming to this forum, Steiner was for me some sort of eclectic thinker somehow connected to alternative medicine and alternative education. That’s how far it goes in my books… So I want to read The Philosophy of Freedom and I can’t do it in German. Goog...

Hi findingblanks,
The initial BK statement is not crystal clear to me/I can't recall it from the books/videos I'm aware of. Could you please link it or give a more detailed report?

Thank you, Soul_of_Shu, for rearranging everything!
I seize the opportunity to also express gratitude for the generous, inspiring replies to my certainly previously adressed questions and more generally for the chance of participating in this forum.
Thank you

Well, the only anthroposophist I met so far is Cleric and Ashvin, and I can see that they are quite dogmatic and I haven't seen them so far admitting that they or Steiner are or have ever been wrong in anything.

AshvinP, Thank you for your patience. I wrote ‘selling and buying’ to continue the metaphor, no provocation was intended. Clearly there’s no ‘promotion’ here. There is though a time investment that must be considerable, even when factoring in the incredible pace at which I see you cut through the po...

Guys, can we keep this thread limited to concise criticism? (looking at you, Ashvin 👀) EDIT: For anyone interested, the 3rd round of the AMA with Bernardo Kastrup is happening June 30th, 8pm CET (11am PT) at The Analytic Idealism Discord Server . My apologies, I am the one responsible for instigati...

I don't know about philosophy but we can certainly do that in phenomenology. When thinking is kept completely distinct from the spectrum of phenomena, we have the inner duality between the philosopher, knower, who builds mental models of reality and the world that confronts us as a mystical dream i...

I don't want to pile on too much, since I know these are new ideas and a lot to take in. And you may be wondering how you got into this discussion and what it has to do with metaphysical idealism : ) : ) Well yes, I arrived here assuming this was the place to discuss BKs model, later ‘a place to di...

And if it’s so that you don’t have the burden to sell it, then I guess my only hope is to ask what the price is and hope I will be able to afford it? The price is Faith. That's my subjecitve summary. Martin, I have also been wondering whether the price would come in such a currency. But the price h...
