      That's because it's insane ...the moon is a quantum sphere that rotates the earths axis, you can't prove it. Or something like that, it's not just a rock. It's some abstract theory on transcdental spacetime as temporary and the satellite physics of the moon in relation to earth. Time is set to reverse itself in the year 4000, it's an actual thing, like how we use to be BC, now we are in AD. This is just his watered down social science.

    Thanks professor! Greetings from Sweden. I enjoy following your lectures while doing part-time jobs, to boost my philosophical work and studies in the rest of the day. My school even use some of your books for a few smaller courses.
    To anyone watching and/or reading this, I can highly recommend Roger Scruton's introductory book on Kant (Oxford University Press). Also, at least reading Prolegomena (a few times) will greatly help you to understand Kant.
    I think professor Bonevac does a brilliant job of laying out all the important stuff here, but would like to stress, that one ought to resist any relativist/subjectivist/strong antirealist notions misleading one to construe Kant as meaning that we somehow construct the world willfully and that that construction would be infinitely malleable (like the intersectionalists/constructivists believe). To a very small degree, in some circumstances we may play some part, and we may be able to affect things through our attitudes, add or modify our beliefs, either willfully, or by negligence/ignorance, and so on, but it's one thing to speak of the world as a product of our minds (for us as humans, human condition, pre-sets, possible experience, essentially still retaining objectivity within our collective human framework etc.) and something entirely different to claim that the world fundamentally is, ontologically speaking, merely a case of constructivism. Sadly, many believe and actively promote that line of thinking (especially within sociology, while having zero grasp of philosophy, let alone metaphysics, even of their own subject). This difference we can see in the contemporary political battles. I think anyone clever and sharp enough knows what I mean. I love Kant and Wittgenstein, properly understood (the resolute reading), is a great continuation of the Kantian project of a synthesis between modest realism and modest antirealism.

      Well, Prof Bonevac did stress that point. He said something like "obviously this (the fact that reality is mentally constructed) doesn't mean that we don't need to go to school and learn stuff about reality; "the world conforming to our experience" doesn't mean that we can shape reality with our minds as we wish" ... and then he spent basically the rest of the video explaining how we can know the objects of our experience by knowing the fundamental structures of our 'projectors', which implicitly conveys, imo quite clearly, that those structures are what they are and not the product of whatever we want them to be.
      I ofc agree with what you said (cuz it's correct), but I just think that anyone who actually paid attention to the video would understand it.

    An alternative way to understand the phrase "Copernican Revolution", is that before Copernicus, people believed the Earth was stationary. It sat there passively as the rest of the universe moved around it. And Copernicus revealed that it is the Earth which moves. It is an active element in the universe.
    In the same way, people before Kant believe that the mind passively receives impressions from the world which acts on it. But Kant showed that the mind actively constructs those impressions. It is an active element in perception.

    I think a key component to Kant's theory that has been lost to modernity due to science and now postmodernism veiling its existence, is Noumenon.
    It's his unchanging realm around the world of phenomenon. It's the realm beyond Hegel's geist.
    I find that in presentations like this one and most contemporary writers on the subject seem to downplay his emphasis on "metaphysics", giving it the position of a kind of broad psychology. But I think of it as a true metaphysics--a physics which includes transcendent realities, those objective AND numinous elements of the noumenon.
    The realm of phenomenon is all we accept today and thus, using Hegel's dialectic magic, have had to alchemize our language and theory to create a kind of synthetic noumenon. I've heard a lot of talk about a return of the logos, which I think has been encaged by Hegel's geist. But I think of this less in Greek or gnostic terms as much as in Kantian terms (with some Otto and Jung and others), in that we have lost our connection to Noumenon while chasing the synthetic.
    While Kant argued we can only know things subjectively, he argued for the existence of an unchanging realm. Maybe I'm not understanding this well and drawing connections where they shouldn't be

    Kant was absolutely right in the transcendental aesthetic. The two-capacitor paradox proves it in time, Gabriel's horn proves it in space - you cannot have enough paint to paint the surface area but can have enough to fill its internal volume, so you could pour out the paint and have half the surface area covered. It doesn't have the implications people believe and is widely misunderstood. It doesn't make Kant a solipsist. He proves the Berklian view as absurd and apparently does the same thing with Leibniz, I don't quite understand the proof against Leibniz, but the case is clear but not conclusive IMO. Reading Allison clarifies Kant, although many books on the deduction are excellent. I wonder if there is anything post-Kantian on the philosophy of mind that is as good?. I wonder if there is such a thing as an honest academic - Kant has enemies and is hated. The category of quality has been a hard point for me. Comments?

    Bruh, this was a sick ass explanation of some dppe ass concepts. On the real though, I appreciate kants willingness to say "absolute truth is out of humans scope." I think in some ways mans awareness of the gap between phenomena and the minds constructed interpretation of an object has driven so much of what we call progress. Whenever we find a phenomenena that does not conform to our existing priori were driven AF to create a better interpretation.
    I also think its a trip how humanity as an entity has created tools of observations which in themselves interpert natural phenomena into an observable constructions ala the projector. So a simple example would be infa red or radio waves. These phenomena exist, but are unobservable by human "Intuition." So obvi humans can't TRULY see or hear these phenomena, but we observe a constructed interpretation. And once you can see some shit, you can use it, in some instances manipulate it. E.g.. we make radio signals.
    Whats got me hyped recently is out ability to see gravity. Look that shit up if you haven't heard about it. But we've begun detecting gravitational waves through their minute distortion of space time. Think about what we'll be able to do with that!

    Hi Daniel. I would appreciate any help with understanding Immanuel Kant’s philosophy of space and time and would appreciate some clarification on the metaphysical implications of Kant’s view of space and time, especially as someone who isn’t familiar with Kant’s ideas (even though I am interested).
    From what I know, Kant claims that both space and time only exist in the mind. As far as I understand, space and time wouldn’t exist for Kant if it was not for the human mind - it has no external mind-independent/objective reality. Am I right or wrong about this? (Is Kant only making an epistemological claim and not an ontological one? If this is the case, space and time would be incoherent without our mind, but space and time would still have some type of existence independent of our mind - maybe it would be chaotic?)
    If my assessment of Kant’s doctrine on space and time are valid, I was wondering then is there no objective reality that exists for Kant? If so, what is it, if it does not include space or time?
    Also, is Kant’s doctrine on time compatible with the growing block metaphysical theory of time (the past and present exist, but the future doesn’t exist) in contrast to both presentism (the present is real but the past and future are not real) and eternalism (past, present and future all equally coexist with one another)?
    Thanks for any response with these questions! 😃
    I also apologise for my ignorance regarding Kant

      For Kant time and space only exists in mind as universal necessities which are functions of mind that help in structuring our experience and they don’t exist in reality. I would say he got it wrong ( time and space exist even before humans).
      For your second question Kant is saying world cannot be known. He doesn’t say it exists or doesn’t exist. But for practical reasons world, God etc. becomes a necessary precondition in Kants philosophy. So in theoretical sense he says he can’t say they actually exist or not but says they are preconditions for practical reasons.

    Isn’t the question that Kant hasn’t maybe asked, how can he know this? His experience is one of growing in a place where he had these concepts given to him as he grew up. They were implanted in him, albeit unknowingly, as he developed. Outside input was teaching him things that he assumes are a priori.
    To then think that this knowledge is a priori he would need to study someone who hadn’t ever had human contact or any external feeding of information.
    Our experience conforms to the objects and our a priori knowledge isn’t a priori, it’s learnt.

      I’m not saying that he’s right but for me revelation came from an AI researcher’s answer to the question "How do you think outside Reality looks like?". He said something along the lines of "Reality doesn’t look like anything because ‘looking like something’ is a property of the internal models that the various conscious agents have of the outside world. Only internal models look like something. There’s no clear naked direct way to perceive reality; any perceiving (by its very definition) happens indirectly through a representation".
      Off course i have problems getting used to this, it brakes our naive but enchanted view of the world.

    Is the a priori knowledge kant claims also has to come from past experience? Because it's impossible to get an understanding of the things without first being confronted by them. How will the laws of understanding be a priori? Lets say you see an Apple which is a construction of your mind upon witnessing a object and applying the laws of understanding we came to know that that's an apple but this laws must have came from past experience right?

    This reminds me somehow of the way stereotypes shape how we perceive others. But it is weird to think we come into this world preequipped with concepts without which we couldn't make sense of the world. Let's take a chair. I know what a chair is because I was repeatedly exposed to chairs in my life and soon developed an understanding of what it is used for. This would be a realist's view. Kant would say I identify the chair and know everything about it (?) because I have a priori knowledge of it. When I see a chair for the first time in my life I will naturally sit down on it. But why do cultures without chairs not immediately understand the use of a chair? For example Aborigines before European contact. If the fixed (?) inventory of concepts is culture-specific, then is it impossible for Aborigines to acquire knowledge about the use and design of a chair? Clearly not, but how does Kant explain creative processes that make necessary the acquisition of new concepts?

      Teleophilia is dual to teleophobia.
      The bad news is that teleophobia currently dominates thinking in physics departments hence you are not likely to hear about these new laws.

      Teleology = targets, goals, intentions, objectives, aims or target tracking.
      You can associate teleology with the concept of God or a divine being or ideal perfect states in physics and some people do not like this at all -- teleophobia.
      The laws of physics are objective with respect to all observers for instance:-
      The velocity of light is the same and equal for all observer -- an ideal or perfect state in physics.
      The laws of physics are independent of the observer's perspective or position.
      Objective is dual to subjective, absolute is dual to relative.

      All do respect, you can always just read Kant’s work, or read along with a readers guide. Professor Bonevac is lecturing us (for free, mind you) as he would his students. But its not as if he’s assigning us homework and is free to contact to clear up questions in person or by email. If you want to learn this material you’ll have to grapple with it (as you do in the classroom, through homework, outside reading , etc.) I’d say this is a great primer on Kant, and again, it’s free! And considering any ole’ schmuck can upload a RUclips video, and Professor Bonevac has actually been teaching this material for years, I’d say it’s one of the better primers you’re going to get.
