I am wondering whether all of my dog's representations are singular and immediate, or whether she also has some general, mediate representations.
She seems to understand some commands with direct objects, like "Find Rob." She also seems to understand when I'm out of the apartment and my husband says "Rob soon." (She sits by the door.) But maybe she's just following our facial cues.
I tried to explain vaccines today, but I don't think she followed.
I wrote a long blog post on Kant's sentence: "Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind." There's a lot more going on there than is apparent at first sight!

@gutenberg_org I hope so.

![“If you want to see hatred, do not look at wars or concentration camps—these are merely its consequences. Look at the writings of Kant, Dewey, Marcuse and their followers to see pure hatred—hatred of reason and of everything it implies: of intelligence, of ability, of achievement, of success, of self-confidence, of self-esteem, of every bright, happy, benevolent aspect of man. *This* is the atmosphere, the leitmotif, the sense of life permeating today's educational establishment. .[…] The degree of a man's hatred for reason is the measure of his hatred for himself.”

I'm reading Evald Ilyenkov's "Cosmology of Spirit," and it's messing with my head.
In the best ways.

Was hätte Immanuel Kant zur Selbstverteidigung der Ukraine 
gesagt?
Aufgrund des starken Interesses an KI-Philosophie und von konstruktiven Drukos habe ich mit Perplexity.AI experimentiert und lade Euch zum Mitmachen ein. Denn: Was nicht im Fediversum steht, ist nicht passiert!

I need the help of #mastodon #philosophers.
Why the f*** would #Putin try to coopt the legacy of Immanuel #Kant?
It's probably not a serious question. Maybe it's just a silly immature dunk on #Germany / #German pride. Or maybe there's something darker in Kant's writings that #Russia thinks supports recent #Russian behavior (I have no reason to believe there is, I'm just openly musing).
Either way it's certainly a bizarre new front in the conflict: #philosophy war.

Kritik der reinen Vernuft
Der Mangel an Urteilskraft ist eigentlich das, was man Dummheit nennt, und einem solchen Gebrechen ist gar nicht abzuhelfen. Ein stumpfer oder eingeschränkter Kopf, dem es an nichts, als am gehörigen Grade des Verstandes und eigenen Begriffen desselben mangelt, ist durch Erlernung sehr wohl, sogar bis zur Gelehrsamkeit, auszurüsten. 
Welch Disput wohl zu dieser Fussnote fuehrte, mag wohl an manch Briefwechsel gelegen haben.
Ist Immanuel Kant eine Geistesgröße ohne Haltbarkeitsdatum oder sind seine Schriften nur noch mit Vorbehalt genießbar? Prof. Dr. Iwan-Michelangelo D’Aprile liest Kant im Spiegel seiner Zeitgenossen: https://uni-potsdam.de/de/nachrichten/detail/2024-02-26-aus-den-kritischen-debatten-um-kants-theorien-laesst-sich-viel-lernen-d-aprile
Guten Morgen. Heute ist der 300. Geburtstag von Immanuel #Kant.
Ich würd jetzt nicht sagen, dass alle ihn gelesen haben sollten (weitgehend unlesbar), aber versuchen sollte man es.
Alternativ dieses schöne "Interview" über Vernunft, Freiheit und Verantwortung.

300 Jahre #Kant: Der Philosoph dachte über Friedenssicherung nach, über Moral, Erkenntnis und Ästhetik. Was davon ist noch brauchbar, wo wurde er falsch verstanden? Und: Wie stand es um seine eigene Lebensführung?

The Rigor of Angels: Borges, Heisenberg, Kant, and the Ultimate Nature of Reality
A poet, a physicist, and a philosopher explored the greatest enigmas in the universe—the nature of free will, the strange fabric of the cosmos, the true limits of the mind—and each in their own way uncovered a revelatory truth about our place in the world.

I would like to note that #ExistentialComics has at long last, after ten years, succumbed to temptation. The Kant/Can't pun drought streak is ended:
Dear @histodons and everyone who's interested in #history of #philosophy and #religions. I'm currently working on a potpourri of #GDR history, #Kant reception and studies about the theosophical society/spiritualism and "völkische Bewegungen" around 1900. Anyone else interested in these topics? Feel free to connect..;)
