Re: Criticism
To that, I will contrast my thinking. I fully agree that the physical world is all of reality, and it is a process of eternal becoming out of its own essential nature. I have spoken about how rational objectification, propositional logic, and reductionism are practical adaptations with no deeper in...

Re: Criticism
It should be clear already that all four geometries exist only as eigen bases onto which the intellect can project its thinking. Reality doesn't operate through any such geometry. OK, so, there is a “harmonious unity” of high-order Intuitive/Imaginative ideas that govern the reality ( including the...

Re: Criticism
The thought "the sky is green" is still a meaningful arrangement of concepts but it simply doesn't correspond to perceptions in the wider context. It fits nicely in our local curvature of meaning but not with the curvature at large. OK, that's basically the Russel's Correspondence Theory ...

Re: Entanglement etc. Materialism vs. Idealism
They are mountains purged from irrelevant (metaphysical) meanings that we associated with them before

Re: Criticism
OK, so first let's to summarize what we learnt from definitions: What is probably most helpful for you guys is a glossary of philosophical terms - https://global.oup.com/us/companion.websites/9780199812998/studentresources/pdf/perry_glossary.pdf OK, so according to the glossary: Reason is the abilit...

Re: Criticism
Would I be wrong to say that in the both cases above, when speaking about Reason, you actually imagine the intellect? Abstract arrangements of concepts that try to make a mental picture of reality through their own means? Not necessarily, it may be intuitive. But before we go into this discussion, ...

Re: Criticism
These are all valid points and need to be considered. They point towards something important. However, I disagree with your conclusion. I posit (for the moment) that Reason is a necessary but not sufficient requirement for getting to the deeper truth . When I have my "Meaningful Insights"...

Re: Criticism
In light of all this, I see no way to support the metaphysical assertion that Reason leads to deeper truth. Just the opposite. Good overview. From idealist standpoint one of the unwarranted assumptions in Steiner's philosophy is that if reality is meaningful it necessarily implies that it is reason...

Re: Criticism
The way I look at it (which is probably very 'unSteinerian', but might align with Buddhist notions) is that percepts, concepts and thinking all condition each other. If one follows Steiner's instructions then one might experience what he describes of the supersensible. But to 'test' his claims it w...
