Philosophy Unbound: Schopenhauer vs. Steiner (Round One)

"They only can acquire the sacred power of self-intuition, who within themselves can interpret and understand the symbol... those only, who feel in their own spirits the same instinct, which impels the chrysalis of the horned fly to leave room in the involucrum for antennae yet to come."

Re: Philosophy Unbound: Schopenhauer vs. Steiner (Round One)

Here out of instinct or grace we seek
soulmates in these galleries of hieroglyph and glass,
where mutual longings and sufferings of love
are laid bare in transfigured exhibition of our hearts,
we who crave deep secrets and mysteries,
as elusive as the avatars of our dreams.

I love BK!
I just think Steiner clearly misrepresented Schopenhauer.

Is it still ok to wear an 'I
BK' t-shirt, as long as the heart is blue?

Oh I am sure you do, but I have also never seen you start a thread which was not "hating" on himfindingblanks wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 9:01 pm I love BK!

I do not think Steiner misrepresents Schopenhauer at all and I know at least Cleric and Scott agree, so there is good debate to be explored there. I am curious, though, do you have a stance on what you believe Schopenhauer actually claimed, i.e. agree or disagree with him on this topic?

I will hesitantly say yes it is OK... but then you must also tattoo a picture of Steiner's Goethaneum on your backSoul_of_Shu wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 9:21 pm Is it still ok to wear an 'IBK' t-shirt, as long as the heart is blue?

Here is a mathematical perspective on the claims of spiritual science. Just like Steiner, and at about the same time, D. Hilbert pronounced the principle and telos of mathematics: "we must know, we will know", implying that the mathematical reason can and will know everything in the world of mathematics. Watch what happened next:

Which means that any rich enough system/set of ideas is always incomplete and undecidable. Consciousness can never know everything about the world of ideas even if it would have the capacity to know the actual infinity of the wholeness of all ideas.

On an intuitive level, can we imply that mathematics is self referential as it ultimately all comes from the same source. i.e differentials are illusory?
