>What is /phil/ Philosophy General?A general for readers, students, and armchair thinkers interested in philosophy, whether it be Western, Eastern, analytic, continental, ancient, contemporary. We discuss primary texts, secondary literature, online lectures, podcasts.>Why read philosophy?Politics, science, psychology, etc. all began with or were inspired by someone who thought philosophically. Basically, if you are interested in just about anything, philosophy will help you better understand that subject. Because it is at the foundation of every conceptual institution made or discovered by humans, it is in the underbelly of human experience, and so it is worth taking seriously.>Why study philosophy formally?Surprisingly versatile and undervalued. Phil majors consistently score among the highest on the LSAT, GRE, and GMAT. Strong pipeline into law, policy, ethics consulting, AI alignment, and academia.The server: https://discord.gg/uPvkn8Tcf6/phil/ guide: https://www.scribd.com/document/324425214/Lit-Philosophy-Project-1-2Previous thread: >>2540005

Do we really need to turn everything into a general? Like half the board is about philosophy at all times>discord serverAaah so this is about turning /lit/ into one of these boards with micro-celebrities and politically motivated jannies
>>25489916Anyone else? Mainly interested in secondary sources on the subject. There's a really solid Cambridge handbook on philosophy of mind that covers the topic with a decent amount of depth for what it is
>>25497054I recently learned that Aristotle had a theory that subjective experiences existed in the real world, it seemed to neatly end the mind-matter distinction for me.
>>25496991just picked up some Bernard Williams because everyone keeps ranting and raving about him. Now what?

>>25497261Open the book and start reading on the first page where you can see fully formed sentences.
>>25497365Not the answer I wanted, dickhead
will reading Hegel's Science of Logic make me a scientist?
>>25498253>falling for the Hegel meme
I made a thread about this and got 0 replies. Plez notice me senpai.How does Kantian philosophy deal with Einstein’s hole argument. Does the argument support Kant’s thesis that spacetime is a priori? Does it refute it? Maybe they’re unrelated? Thoughts?

>>25498253Wow that scientist is a qt3.14 i wonder if she has huge tits.
>>25496991Still want to know about Bernard Williams and why so many people here like him.
>>25498430Relativistic spacetime is an empirical observation of reality; Kantian spacetime is distinct.
>>25498430Meme answer: it's a refutation by modern standards but it's just a challenge and the sceptic always wins.Serious answer: Kant's literal applications of synthetic a priori were mostly dismantled but no physicist including Einstein could account for the utter lack of source determination. Kant still continues on observer and the Quantum reign of know nothing is permafried, what you decide to do is entirely up to you. Einstein couldn't justify a fair amount and supposedly spent a portion of his life trying to find reconciliations with his former Kant inspired days. Spinoza and Schopenhauer were popular alternatives. Given the covariance in the argument any potential use can be a dialectic so Hegel is still the endpoint for the movement and welcomes challenges. Einstein used the word Lochbetrachtung which is a fancy way of saying observation of hole, I'll refrain from making a female joke, but the highly conceptual fluidity of German also entails Nietzsche is also involved and whether anyone wants that or not isn't relevant since solutions involve meaning and there may be no blanket rejections of methodology like using synthetic a priori but with higher volatility. >the obsolete machine vs the machine of machines
>>25499146>X is not actually Xlowest form of sophistry>>25499180all this wall of text and zero mention of the actual hole argumenthere, guys, it’s not that hard of a readhttps://plato.stanford.edu/entries/spacetime-holearg/
>>25499693You're more than welcome to explain it. Weed withdrawals, tubers, and a 40+ thread are lit.
>>25496991Anyone got a good recommendation for secondary literature on Kant? Not planning to get into him too deep (don't want to end like that one schizo Kantian magician here), but deep enough to understand what he thinks and all the logic behind it. Mostly want to understand enough to be able to read Schlopenhauers WaWaR. Also some general curiosity because Weininger is very influenced by him.
