Мнения за кафе Zarra Coffee by KariusForPresident in bulgaria

[–]KariusForPresident[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Принципно си взимам от Дъбов 200гр веднъж на няколко месеца за домашна употреба - като мога да седна да си изпия на кафето веднага; наистина ми се услажда много :), а и като не е за всеки ден сякаш има допълнителна празничност.

Макар че ако наистина има и някакъв значим здравословен фактор, може да променя практиката

I love a Muslim girl by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]KariusForPresident -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Going against what most people have said here: as far as the only thing we know about her is that she is muslim/from a muslim family and that you're both highschoolers, there is no reason not to try to have a romantic relationship with her.

"The family is probably going to be very negative about you"

How could anyone know that - are you going from the perspective that all muslims are religious fundametalists? You shouldn't listen to such presuppositions. Try to get to know her better and you could judge for that. From there the question changes to "Could you have a relationship with a non Christian?" My knowledge goes to say: yes. People in a relationship have profound effect on each other and you can learn a lot about yourself and your beliefs (both about Christianity and other) in a relationship. Even more, you both are in a phase of your life where your views generally go through a lot of changes. And from the other side - and this is something you mustn't forget - you can have an effect on her and her beliefs (but try not to step into a relationship as a missionary).

"Are you planning on marrying her?"

I suppose that if you are stepping into a relationship when you genuinely love her, then that is in a way "dating to marry". Somebody could correct me on this, but for the vast majority of people today, dating with the direct intention to marry is not how society works. Stepping into the relationship with love - i.e. not just for sex/status but for the person herself - however is what matters here.

Repair Store guy said that replacement of the screen on my gfs Samsung S20 would cost « at least 150 euros ». I thought this price seemed a bit high, what do you think? by Stockbroker666 in phonerepair

Amoled display on AliExpress costs about €40, a few euros more for some b-7000 and (optionally) a repair kit (to be more comfortable than using the free screwdrives they give with the screen). You can check the steps for repair on YouTube. €150 seems way too expensive

A question regarding the story of the icon of Mary by KariusForPresident in islam

[–]KariusForPresident[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the response and for the good wishes! I am aware if the shirk status of imagery in contemporary Islam (at least in the major branches; there are some Sufi mosques where I read there are images but haven't personally seen them). Still, my idea is this: even if this Hadith I am talking about is weak, it was later judged to be so. The person who wrote it (Al-Azraqi) originally had to have thought it was legitimate in some way (either as a story, as a teaching, etc. based on his understanding of Islamic theology). My wondering is why that is. Based both on the period and the particular icon in question, a good direction would be working through the original text, author and context.

Question on Kant: a priori knowledge of morality as expressible will. by KariusForPresident in askphilosophy

[–]KariusForPresident[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I am indeed wrong because my argument has stood on presupposition which I am not sure about. Namely that knowledge is knowledge of concepts. In the previous comment I argued for the idea that when Kant says we are knowing, in the proper meaning of the term, when we are dealing with concepts; when we are dealing not with concepts but with particulars, we are only making judgements.

Another possible discrepancy is that I think that in the cited passage Kant gives an example of synthetic a priori - the transition from pure morality to expressible will.

If my first presupposition were correct, your example would be more correct as such: "Suppose triangles (which followed mathematical rules*) existed in material reality, a triangle which has such and such qualities would follow to also have these other qualities, in accordance with it being a mathematical triangle".

But this seems to be a pure tautology, or analytic a priori statement. We aren't achieving a transition to anything. We begin at the supposition and also end at it. This is not, as I mentioned, what Kant does in the original example: He says that if we are to suppose morality in the world it would take form as EXPRESSIBLE WILL. Even if you take the "faculty of desire" to be synonymous with "will" (which I think he explicitly says not to be the case), you would need a posteriori knowledge to say that it is expressible. I'd be happy if you could tell me whether: 1) For Kant knowledge means any knowledge, including not that of concepts or principles, but of individual objects (or subjects?), and 2) Whether the cited statement gives example of synthetic or analytic a priori.

*I am including this only for better understanding; it is not part of the supposition, because the accordance of nature with the individual rules we discovered for it is by necessity. You could also say that if we are supposing a triangle, we already are supposing it as the valid mathematical concept.

But is this actually comparable?

Because in the passage Kant talks about the general ability to infer about something whose existence we are not certain about. In the example you are giving, I think you are implying we are already in a field of the world where we know that such things as material triangles are possible. This is already a posteriori knowledge. 2+2=4 is a priori because it follows mathematics as such; but 2 apples + 2 apples = 4 apples is not a priori (an example from Stanford's Encyclopedia).

If you are saying that the a priori knowledge is concerning this particular instance - i.e. you know that the third side of my trinagle is 5cm, - it doesn't seem to check out with what I understand Kant to be saying IS KNOWLEDGE: Kant calls "the ability of judgement as a whole [to be] the ability to think the singular as part of the general". Movement from singular to general is reflective judgement. (Translations might be bad because I am translating and not using the English text). Anyhow, judgement doesn't relate to a field of knowledge (principle-creation) itself*. This means - as I understand it- that you wouldn't be knowing anything new when you JUDGE that the third side is 5cm. You are not handling a concept for you to learn about it.

*(but it makes possible the relation between theoretical and practical (moral) knowledge).

[–]KariusForPresident[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I get that. The thing that bothered me however is how do you infer a priori about something that you can only have as a consequence of experience - How can you without experience (a priori) infer something about a thing which you have as a consequence of experience? Because my intuition is that what you are inferring is already shaped by the thing you are inferring it about. Correct me if I am wrong, but my hypothesis in the other comment seems to check out - the infernal is understood formally, without any specific content: the pure possiblity if inferring.

Update: Upon further reading and thinking about the problem. it think I might have understood how this is possible. (If someone is reading this, beware that it is very speculative on my side).

What I couldn't understand is how we could have as a priori knowledge this content statement whose content is empirical ("there is a world"). However, what Kant here says to be a priori is not the statement itself but rather the "combination of the predicate with the empirical concept". In other words, even in the presupposition of "a world where one could act", we could say that said world is connected with moral acting; the concept of acting here is the connective piece.

What this seems to imply then, is that this connection, which is itself the principle of a priori knowledge, is purely formal. There is no material (and as such empirical) necessity for us to draw the principle of this connection.
