how do you want to make sure, that this self-projected sensory as you call it is not the proof itself for the real manifestation itself? i think that is what a supporter of materialism would argue

Fucking genius indeed!!

The Germans are disputing it. Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside…Fucking genius. lmfao!!

man, are you a philosopher?
July 1st, 2009 at 9:54 am
The Greeks are still lacking any proof that this goal wasn’t just a mere image of self-projected sensory experiences deriving from the faculty of transcendental imagination thus stripping the goal of any manifestation in our reality!

You clearly don’t understand it. Fuck thinking? Sure shows your ability to reason. Life is nothing without enriching your mind. Also, has it occurred to you that what you view as living a life is different from what another person views as living a life? A philosopher is living his life the way he seems fit, so really, you are saying absolutely nothing of importance.

Hahaha, Oh God, I just wish I understood more about the philosophers to understand this better. One day I will come back and get all of the jokes I missed

I love Marx chasing after the referee arguing the call! Is that the “Communist Manifesto” he’s pointing to and then hurls to the ground in disgust?
July 1st, 2009 at 9:54 am
Eurekaaaaa! hahahha’
July 1st, 2009 at 9:54 am

I’m not sure if people notice this but at 1:35 it looks like Archimedes is passing an idea to Socrates. I just love when he goes Eureka and runs up to the ball. “The Greeks are going mad!—- The Germans are disputing it. Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an apriori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics. Kant by the categorical imperative is holding that it ontologically exists only in the imagination. and Marx is claiming it was offside.”

I love that Nietzsche got in trouble. He really was just a big ole troublemaker! Aww… He was the greatest. *wipes a tear from her eye*
