Where is the 21st century Critique of Pure Reason? Why is it that nobody nowadays is producing anything on a level even close to this? Are you really going to tell me that a bunch of long-dead white European men had more insight and clarity of thought than anyone in our modern world that's fully connected with plenty of educated people from a variety of backgrounds?
>re you really going to tell me that a bunch of long-dead white European men had more insight and clarity of thought than anyone in our modern world Why user, yes, I am.
Austin Richardson
Yeah. Were in a new dark ages. Why do you think academics changed the name to middle ages; they weren't comfortable with how similar we are now to Europe after the decline and fall.
Adam Reyes
Where's the Leibniz of our age? Where's the Berkeley of our age? Our Pascal? Our William of Ockham?
Aristocratic education is dead so people are a fraction of what they could be. Standards have collapsed, mechanistic materialism became the new religion, and rational thinking is taboo. Strange how it all happened simultaneously with the fall of Christianity, and we were left with midwits like Nietzsche, Marx, and feminists.
James Walker
1800s saw an unprecedented decline in religion, not really the best example to use.
Jeremiah Allen
1800s were vastly inferior to 1700s
Parker Evans
>1800s saw an unprecedented decline in religion Not really. 99% of the population in western countries were still Christian and went to Church regularly.
video games, delivery, internet porn.. they didn't even have radio back then. thinking abt shit was a universal pasttime. now thinking doesn't pay bills. youtube and twitch and insta and stock trading does
James Powell
We get a book of COPR magnitude once every 600 years on average
Jason Sanchez
They had plenty of means of entertainment, there are plenty of people who barely need to work, and many more whose work is just "thinking about things". Nothing in your justification made sense.
Dominic Myers
You really devoured that book
Jordan Wilson
What are the CPR-tier books of past ages?
Kevin Rodriguez
Is this pseud bait? Regurgitating what Kant or Hegel said is all contemporary philosphers do.
Michael Torres
Yeah. The CPR ended philosophy and there is nothing that is ever going to come close. Our job now is provide clarity to Kant's doctrines.
Jose Powell
thanks i puked
Carson Perry
Maybe actually start reading the works of modern philosophers so you can find out.
Colton Barnes
First of all, my comment wasn't meant to be taken that seriously. But your comment is even more bullshit. >plenty of means of entertainment like what? You can only listen to music so much. Strolling? >there are plenty of people who barely need to work And for those, I have already mentioned video games, movies, porn... Better means of entertainment means people are less likely to strive for accomplishing things that are fullfilling in other less immediate, material ways
Having other means of entertainment available means spending less time reading and thinking about stuff which means less quality. There I have replied to your last point.
If you look at reality, and stop trying to make everything into some pretentious theoretical account of stuff, see what people spend their time nowadays on: snapchat, twitch, tiktok... And you'll see that I'm right.
Joshua Lee
You're such a coomer your brain is completely fried.
Nathan Garcia
>Aristocratic education is dead so people are a fraction of what they could be. Standards have collapsed, mechanistic materialism became the new religion, and rational thinking is taboo Lmao, you're just a complacent retard that would rather seethe about muh decline of christianity, aristocracy and other spooks rather than engage with the modern currents of philosophy.
Luke Evans
What's a modern work comparable to Critique of Pure Reason?
Lucas Watson
The Enneads is one of them
Dominic Morris
Less than Nothing by Zizek
Austin Bell
My book was considered similar to a modern day Prince, we're almost there
Alexander Hernandez
And that's why you failed to reply to anything I said and I'm supposed to take you at your word that you obviously can provide an adequate reply but choose not to because you're better than that? Ok, numbnut.
Ayden Sanchez
Name one book from the 21st book of the same size, scale, and complexity.
Structure and Being: A Theoretical Framework for a Systematic Philosophy
Jace Rivera
>what is cognitive science
Andrew Jackson
Engage with what? Retards arguing about what is or isn't qualia? Or other retards who've already presupposed that efficient causes are the only causes asserting that there are no other causes and therefore no free will? No thanks.
Lucas Evans
>modern currents of philosophy. Like?
Jaxon James
>The Process of Systematic Grounding as an Idealized form of the Practice of Systematic Grounding No thanks.
Ayden Carter
What makes it comparable to Kant's critique?
Owen Phillips
Board and card games still existed back in the day, along with all social entertainment.
Jonathan Murphy
The social entertainment of attending a ball if you're well-off. Carry on, you might succeed in making a decent argument how fucking pictures moving on a screen which you can pirate isn't more engrossing and attention grabbing than anything available to people hundreds of years go

>Where is the 21st century Critique of Pure Reason? rsbakker.wordpress.com/2014/05/12/the-metacritique-of-reason/ "The Eliminativist, in other words, pulls a Kant on Kant and demands what amounts to a metacritique of reason. The fact is, short of this accounting of metacognitive resources and precautions, the Intentionalist has no way of knowing whether or not they’re simply a ‘Stage-Two Dogmatist,’ whether their ‘clarity,’ like the specious clarity of the Dogmatist, isn’t simply the product of neglect—a kind of metacognitive illusion in effect. For the Eliminativist, the transcendental (whatever its guise) is a metacognitive artifact. For them, the obvious problems the Intentionalist faces—the supernaturalism of their posits, the underdetermination of their theories, the lack of decisive practical applications—are all symptomatic of inquiry gone wrong. "
rsbakker.wordpress.com/2013/03/11/the-ptolemaic-restoration-object-oriented-whatevery-and-kants-copernican-revolution/ "If it is the case that the sciences more or less monopolize theoretical cognition, then the most reasonable way for reason to critique reason is via the sciences. The problem confronting Kant, however, was nothing less than the problem confronting all inquiries into cognition until very recently: the technical and theoretical intractability of the brain. So Kant was forced to rely on theoretical reason absent the methodologies of natural science. In other words, he was forced to conceive critique as more philosophy, and this presumably, is why his project ultimately failed."
rsbakker.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/zizek-hollywood-and-the-disenchantment-of-continental-philosophy/ "Sure, one might argue, Kant may have been wrong about the transcendental, but surely his great insight was to glimpse the transcendental as such. But this is precisely what BBT and medial neglect allows us to explain: the way the informatic and heuristic constraints on metacognition produce the asymptotic–acausal or ‘bottomless’–structure of conscious experience. The ‘transcendental’ on this view is a kind of ‘perspectival illusion,’ a hallucinatory artifact of the way information pertaining to the limits of any momentary conscious experience can only be integrated in subsequent moments of conscious experience. Kant’s genius, his discovery, or at least what enabled his account to appeal to the metacognitive intuitions of so many across the ages, lay in making-explicit the occluded medial axis of consciousness, the fact that some kind of orthogonal functionality (neural, we now know) haunts empirical experience. Of course Hume had already guessed as much, but lacking the systematic, dogmatic impulse of his Prussian successor, he had glimpsed only murk and confusion, and a self that could only be chased into the oblivion of the ‘merely verbal’ by honest self-reflection."
Carter Thomas
This is all really cringe and the authors do not understand Kant.
Nicholas Bailey
I would not have said that, you're about to get Bakk'd by his Yea Forums minions.
Ryder Perry
I have studied philosophy on a graduate level and this is word salad
Jack James
>I have studied philosophy on a graduate level The person who wrote that on his blog, have studied philosophy on a PhD level.
>and this is word salad It says a lot about your "education".
Levi Evans
In all honesty, you people asking these questions can't find modern Kants because you don't look, you don't even know how to look, and if it stared you in the face you wouldn't know how to recognize it. Your idea of Kant depends on what you've been told by cultural osmosis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Scott_Bakker This is your guy by the way, just so everyone else knows.
Jason Davis
What was your dissertation on?
James Johnson
Ok enlightened genius, summarize some interesting points from this great PhD dropout and fantasy writer
David Hall
Zizek's Less Than Nothing is seriously revelatory. It's a shame people who haven't read Hegel are incapable of seeing past the meme and grasp ontological incompleteness.
>other spooks >Modern currents of philosophy the other user is indead retarded and made a poor naritivisation, but you imply the later isnt inundated with “spooks” of their own kind. Wittgenstein. Godel. Heidegger.

I'm not a supporter of this Bakker fellow, I was posting the Wikipedia link precisely so people could make fun of him if they wanted
Dominic Nelson
>summarize some interesting points from this great PhD dropout
>Godel Made some great contributions but his ideas about God are flimsy and I say this as a theist. Besides that he didn't really develop a big comprehensive system, there are better analytic candidates who have. >Wittgenstein Early Wittgenstein sort of made something akin to a system but it's very barebones and also pretty wrong, owing to its aphoristic nature a lot of the reasoning isn't explained either which is a weakness. Later Wittgenstein was anti-systematic. >Heidegger This is the only one of the three that fits, as he was systematic and comprehensive. I say that neutrally, because I'm not a Heideggerian, but I respect the system-building.

Why not just study actual PhD-earning philosophers and their works instead of this guy?

>video games >fulfilling in other less immediate, material ways if we're talking about games that focus on online multiplayer (fortnite, wow, lol etc.) or almost literal skinner boxes (diablo 2, gacha shit etc.) then yes outside of that? you're wrong same goes for movies, you're right only if we consider capeshit etc.
Luis Hill
>Why not just study actual PhD-earning philosophers Because his eintire point is that PhD-earning philosophers are obsolete.
I am pretty sure it's not as engrossing to anyone who isn't a recluse, but I do not deny they're not the same entertainment. Merely that if you were already rich enough to sit around and think, you still had plenty of options at leisure.
Asher Watson
Wow, definitely never heard that one a thousand times before...
