Re: Intuitive Idealism vs. Analytic Idealism (Part II): An alternative formulation of idealism
In one of his interviews BK explained why he chose to pursue the path of the analytical idealism. This is because the framework of the analytical philosophy has a set of well-defined rules that are used for the metaphysical studies. Materialism claims that it adheres to the rules of the analytical ...

Re: Intuitive Idealism vs. Analytic Idealism (Part I): A critique of Bernardo Kastrup’s formulation
It’s an obvious fact that we don’t habitually have direct access to the experience of universal consciousness. Our individual consciousness is (for most of us, and for most of the time) dissociated from universal consciousness. But this isn’t caused by any sort of barrier or boundary. Our attention...

Re: Intuitive Idealism vs. Analytic Idealism (Part I): A critique of Bernardo Kastrup’s formulation
However, there is another basic, universal intuition about the world that modern physicalists have chosen to ignore. When we look at the world, when we gaze at the sea, at a mountainous landscape, at a starry night sky, we don’t see a dead, cold universe. We feel that the universe is alive. And tha...

Re: Intuitive Idealism vs. Analytic Idealism (Part II): An alternative formulation of idealism
Adur, Thank you for these detailed essays. I appreciate the great thought and effort you have clearly put into these! I have not finished reading all of Part 2 yet, but have some preliminary remarks. First I will say that I agree with many of your critiques of BK idealism in Part 1. My reasons for ...

Re: Intuitive Idealism vs. Analytic Idealism (Part II): An alternative formulation of idealism
Very interesting essay, Adur. Very insightful! Regarding your Law of Consistency, you might explain why two witnesses in a Court of Law may recall a different order of events or even different activity. Thank you, Ben! The Law of Consistency (I love the capitals :) ) applies exclusively to the obje...

Intuitive Idealism vs. Analytic Idealism (Part II): An alternative formulation of idealism
Here goes the main part of my essay. It's very long, but I hope it's worth it! If you feel you don't have time to read it all, at least check out the sections called "The law of consistency" and "The simulation metaphor". I'm probably biased, but I think they are a work of genius...

Intuitive Idealism vs. Analytic Idealism (Part I): A critique of Bernardo Kastrup’s formulation
I have just finished a long essay outlining my own personal formulation of idealism, which is largely inspired in Bernardo's Analytic Idealism but differs from it in some key points. I hope some of you might find it interesting. Since the essay is so long, I'm posting only it's first two parts: The ...

Re: What constitutes “observation” (/“measurement”)
Hi Adur. I’m afraid I don’t have time to respond to your post as I’d like to right now. I’ve been travelling and am trying to catch up on things here, but am back to work tomorrow and it’s tomorrow already. There are definitely some bits of what you say that are intriguing. However if photons only ...

Re: What constitutes “observation” (/“measurement”)
Another objection I have to Bernardo's analytic idealism is the consistency and regularity in the behaviour of the physical world. Let's take for example Newton's classical laws of motion. If planets and stars and billiard balls are the extrinsic appearance of M@L's inner life, why is this inner li...

Re: What constitutes “observation” (/“measurement”)
It seems to me there is a fundamental question around an element of nature as an observer of itself, versus conscious/living observers. I keep seeing mixed versions of this, including in Adur’s comments in his recent QM post, and indeed from Bernardo. Take his recent ‘Objections to Idealism’, aroun...
