Philosophical Speculations

You are thinking about the boundaries in the space of the material world, but those are indeed illusory and have nothing to do with dissociative Markov boundaries that BK is talking about that occur in the space of the MAL consciousness. So the image of consciousness that we experience has no relat...

I have heard BK (Idealism) discussing with Philip Goff (Panpsychism). I enjoyed the conversation but I felt pitty with Goff. However. It came down to an argument, that dissociation of consciousness is known as a psychiatric disorder, whereas Panpsychism is facing the combination problem. If you go i...

I did not read too much of Bernardos books. I heard hours and hours of interviews though. It never came across to me, that I heard him explaining dissociative boundaries in detail. So my question is how does a dissociative boundary work and can it be described it scientifically? BK argues that livin...

Being I can know for sure. [/i] And so how can one know this 'being' absent the awareness of it? I can just as well say that awareness is that which I know for sure, and I'm not sure what is added by naming it 'being.' Isnt that rather an epistemological question and not an ontological one? You can...

How can you say the difference between Being and the Awareness of Being is a word game? When you were in your mother´s womb you were. Today you have an awareness of your being. Seems to me there is quite a difference. It is even conceivable that your being could be a precondition of your awareness ...

If the OP of Idealism takes Consciousness as something that includes Being. I could just as well start with a definition of Being that includes Consciousness. And say Consciousness is a state of Being? Or do I still miss the point here? You can pose either of these: - Ontic Prime that fundamentally...

How is Beingness derived from Consciousness in Idealism? Seems to me Idealism is not any better in this regard. Same same the other way around. It even seems to me that consciousness is a kind of being. Consciousness without being makes no sense. While being without consciousness does. you are righ...

The OP of Idealism includes beingness and awareness. So if it was possible to reasonably deduce awareness from beingness, would BK have to change his mind? I could imagine to deduce the experience of awareness and contents as a "dream" of infinite Being, a dissociation of Being, creating ...

The dual property monism does not run into the "hard problem", but BK would argue that it is not parsimonious and the addition of the property of "matter" is unnecessary. The OP of Idealism includes beingness and awareness. So if it was possible to reasonably deduce awareness fr...
