💡 Bienvenidos a nuestro hilo sobre la ontología. La ontología es una rama de la filosofía que se dedica al estudio de la existencia y la naturaleza de la realidad. A lo largo de este hilo, exploraremos algunas de las teorías y conceptos más importantes de la ontología. 
📚 Según Aristóteles, la ontología es la "ciencia de lo que es". ¿Qué es lo que es? Eso es precisamente lo que la ontología busca descubrir. #Aristoteles #ontología 💡
💭 Immanuel Kant afirma que la ontología es una "ciencia de la esencia pura". ¿Qué significa esto? #Kant #ontología 🤔

🇩🇪 Jean Paul fue influenciado por la filosofía alemana del s.XVIII, especialmente por Immanuel #Kant. También se inspiró en la literatura inglesa y francesa, como la obra de @LaurenceSterne y la poesía de Jean-Jacques #Rousseau.
I'm very excited to say my book "How #Kant Matters for #Biology" will soon be published! The thread below explains some of the key issues dealt with. I'm essentially resituating Kant in relation to biology, especially with key figures in the develop of biology in the in Britain.
Please get in touch if you want to review, I can help get the book out to journals relevant for you.

Chapter 1 focuses on debates about Kant's influence on biology. I push back against how #influence tends to be understood in #philosophyofscience and argue that we need to recognise the importance of #misunderstanding - especially for Kant's philosophy. 1/10
HALUK LEVENT VE KIZILAY İLE TİCARET
“Haluk Levent / Kızılay, çadır alıș satıșı konusu'nda Haluk Levet'in davranıșının Kant ethiği açısından yargılanması... Kısa da olsa bir değerlendirme...” diye talep etmiş bir arkadaşımız.

Kant’a göre niyet önemlidir. Haluk Levent, elindeki olanaklarla yardımcı olmak istemiştir. Sonuç olarak da yardımcı olmuştur. Bunun için gerekirse şeytanla da işbirliği yapılabilir. O işbirliğini yapmamış olsaydı insanlar muhtemelen daha bilmem kaç gün ayazda açıkta kalacaktı.
Ama bu işbirliğini yaparken bunun eninde sonun duyulacağını ve bunun Kızılay’ın yanına kalmayacağı açıktı. Yani Kızılay’ın kaybedeceği baştan belliydi. Kazananlar çadırlarına kavuşanlar olacaktı ve Haluk Levent de amacını gerçekleştirmiş olacaktı. Böyle de oldu. #HalukLevent

Para empezar, podríamos preguntar de forma análoga a Aristóteles y su teoría del esclavo natural: ¿dónde está la ventaja o beneficio?
Hume, Kant, Hegel y el racismo antinegro: ¿dónde está el beneficio?

@almostadiary @astefanowitsch Am Anfang erzeugt sich menschliches Bewusstsein durch eine beispiellose Verdichtung von Material (über das wir, um es mit dem Mathematiker Bertrand #Russell zu sagen, nicht mehr wissen als geographische Eckdaten) als Antagonismus zu einem Aussen welches nichts ist, als es selbst.
@almostadiary @astefanowitsch Diese Dekompression im Bezug auf ein äusserliches, unmittelbar intuitives und absolutes Sein bezieht sich zuerst auf Aversion durch Reizung (Hunger, Wundsein durch Fäkalien, Blähungen) und Befriedigung durch Sättigung, Trocknung, etc. Anhand dieser unentrinnbaren Ambivalenz wird
@almostadiary @astefanowitsch die Vielheit der Dinge "da draußen" und die vage Gewissheit einer Art von Innenleben, die Zuverlässigkeit von Abständen im Nahbereich, schließlich die verbale Sprache, die "uns" aus dem ewigen Traum des Primärprozesses als gefühlte Einheit hervorhebt, erst erzeugt.

I completely agree with SC Judge #Kant.
Current environment is a result of what Nupur has said.
If Nupur had not made those remarks, we wouldn't have known that some of the Muslim youth from Rajasthan were keen to get in touch with ISIS, even before Modi came to picture in 2014.

One of the murderers joined them online.
If Nupur had not made those remarks, we wouldn't have known that some of Muslim youth are keen to make trips to Pakistan to become certified terrorists. One of the murderers travelled to Pakistan in 2014.

If Nupur had not made those remarks we wouldn't have known that sleeper cells are being created in different parts of the country. Both murderers were a part of sleeper cells & were actively creating more of them. NIA is looking for 35 more such people in that area.
The influence of Immanuel Kant on modern philosophy cannot be underestimated - a thread on #Kant in #Iran
Often in academic departments of philosophy (#analytic but also beyond) #Kant is the key figure if the modern period 2/
He represents a systematic approach to philosophy, to metaphysics, ethics, and much beyond covering theoretical and practical philosophy displacing #Aristotle 3/
Sensation that activates perception is the necessary condition for synthetic judgement, but not visa versa. Judgment can fail when perception is distorted, but not visa versa (as in the case of brain injury). Therefore sapience supervenes on sentience. Take that #Kant.
To have the power of reason means to be able to revise
one’s beliefs in light of reasons, or in other words, to be able to bring one’s beliefs under active existential control. But the grounding relations characteristic of perception lack this quality.

Perceptual relations are not freely revisable, as optical illusions demonstrate: I may know my perception is inaccurate and yet be unable to correct it.
Something new on #Kant and his #racism getting play on twitter. I couldn't abide another without comment. I have a few things to say about Kant's racism and racial theory and the disappointing reactions of scholars (both generally and Zorn in particular). public-history-weekly.degruyter.com/8-2020-8/kant-…
1. Just because Kant was a monogenist and he was arguing against polygenists (Forster, Hume, Voltaire) doesn't mean he wasn't racist or didn't contribute to the foundations of scientific racism.
(This is such a staggeringly bad argument that gets repeated often. Being a monogenist and arguing against polygenists doesn't magically wash every evil away. Also consider basically every racist/racial theory from after the mid 19th-century, which are monogenist.)
It's been three months since I wrote for @TheAtlantic that if the USA was not having a revolution, we were definitely living in revolutionary times. (#Kant) Much [sic] has happened since April 6th. Delighted to have published a follow-up essay today: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
2/ When protesters in San Juan & Ferguson marched with a guillotine, folks said “Rebecca, here’s your revolution!” This misstates role of guillotine in Fr Rev (was used in official executions, not cause of most deaths), imagines symbols of past revns = content of new ones
3/ In one of my favorite texts, _ The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte_, Marx wrote that revolutions "dress up" in the past to delude themselves about own content. Luther as the apostles, the bourgeois Fr Revn as Roman Republic/Empire. marxists.org/archive/marx/w…
My first encounter with the #Persian #Wittgenstein (1889-1951) in Iran was buying a copy of a translation of #PhilosophicalInvestigations at the Tehran book fair in 1999 - a thread on Wittgenstein in Iran 1/
This translation by Ferydoun Fatemi (d. 2008), a well-known translator of philosophical works with Nashr-e markaz seems to be based on the English 2/
Standard accounts of Wittgenstein do not tend to look at his reception beyond the English speaking context - but for that there are two two excellent introductions which partly problematise the 'early' vs 'late' and SEP entry plato.stanford.edu/entries/wittge… 3/
Es geht nicht darum, dass Immanuel #Kant vor 253 Jahren auf einer Privatparty in Königsberg nach zehn Schnaps ein „falsches Wort“ gesagt hat.
Es geht darum, dass er eine Rassenlehre entwarf, die als Legitimation für schlimme Verbrechen verwendet wurde.

Ein Thread:
Viele argumentieren Kant sei eben ein „Kind seiner Zeit“ gewesen. Diese Rechtfertigung blendet aber völlig aus, dass Kant eben nicht nur nachgeplappert hat was in seiner Zeit üblich war, sondern eine eigene Rassenlehre entwickelte.
Diese Rassenlehre basierte mitunter auf der Arbeit des schwedischen Naturforschers Carl von Linné. Doch Kant gehörte zu denjenigen, die sie zum Teil einer „aufgeklärten Philosophie“ machten und weiterdachten.
I picked up this book at the Sophia Bookstore (مكتبة صوفية) in #Kuwait a few months ago - an excellent bookshop btw with knowledgable staff especially on #philosophy - short thread on #Foucault and #contemporary_philosophy 1/
The author Zouaoui Beghoura (الزواوي بغوره) is an Algerian Professor of philosophy at Kuwait University where he has taught since 2002 and is a leading specialist on Michel #Foucault (1926-1984) having translated a number of his works 2/
Most of these works were published by #DaralTalia in #Beirut and this one was also first published there in 2005 3/

This is the subject of my recent arguments against a certain retired judge, who said that the death penalty would scare off would-be criminals. I retorted that it was a lazy way of thinking about & looking into criminality. I will try to recall those arguments here.

A number of encounters made me think of the significance of #Hegel (1780-1831) as a bridge between premodern and modern philosophy in #Iran 1/
The Egyptian philosopher ʿAbd al-Rahman al-Badawi (1917-2002) is perhaps one of the most underrated thinkers of #ContemporaryArabThought - a major #Heideggerian_existentialist #Sufism and #IslamicPhilosophy specialist who studied at Fuad I (later #Cairo) University 1/
Many of us who study #IslamicThought know him for his editions of #ArabicAristotle #ArabicPlato #ArabicPlotinus as well as editions of the work of #Avicenna #IbnSabin #SiwanalHikma and others - without his efforts we would not have editions of the #PlotinianaArabica 2/
In the 1930s he studied in Cairo and obtained his PhD in 1944 supervised by #AlexandreKoyré (1892-1964) on the notion of 'existential time' that engages with #Heidegger - this like his other early works was published by #DaralNahdaalMisriya 3/
The reception of #EuropeanPhilosophy in #Iran is around 100 years old and #Nashr_e_nay in #Tehran has been at the forefront of publishing translations - a thread on #translation in #ContemporaryIranianPhilosophy and the work of ‘Abdol-Karim Rashidiyan 1/
#Rashidiyan (b. 1948) is a professor of philosophy at #ShahidBeheshti university in #Tehran one of the best departments in #Iran and received his PhD from #Sorbonne in 1978; especially known for his translations of #continentalphilosophy 2/
Early on he translated the famous manifesto of William James (1842-1910) - Pragmatism 3/

"Intelligence, wit, judgement, and the other talents of the mind, however they may be named, or courage, resolution, perseverance, as qualities of temperament, are undoubtedly good and desirable in many respects;" #Kant
"but these gifts of nature may also become extremely bad and mischievous if the will which is to make use of them, and which, therefore, constitutes what is called character, is not good. It is the same with the gifts of fortune." #Kant
