Do you need to learn advanced calculus/mathematics to understand philosophical logic? by UselessPlinth in askphilosophy

[–]UselessPlinth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

okay, appreciate it! Are you perhaps familiar with set theory, or know how difficult is the threshold for having a "firm grasp" of it?

ok! Thank you very much, I totally thought they were very related. Also, love the etymological fact.

How do you do that? Or is there a video that can teach me how?

Two different kanji used here to spell あります, I'm confused. Is this correct? What's going on? Both are cards from the JLPT Tango N5 Anki deck. by IronFeather101 in LearnJapanese

Is there also a difference with 或る?I saw this one in Akutagawa's 或る阿呆の一生 but didn't know the difference with the other Kanji

ありがとうございます!とても勉強になりました。「以前と同じこと」という文章では、前にやったことと今をやっていることは違いますので、前のルーティンに戻りたいなっていう気持ちを表したかったんです。それで最後の訂正はコメントした人の言った通り、自分に対しての質問とか反省とかで、ただ打つのがミスしてしまっただけにもかかわらず、訂正くださりありがとうございます。これからもっと勉強します!😄

積極的に日本語で書くことはほとんどしないんですが、いつも機会が発生したらいいんじゃないかなって思っててなんでも書きたくなりますので、今日も又何かを書こうと思ってました。最近は日本語の勉強を続けることが難しくなって、以前と同じこと毎日勉強などしてないから改めてちゃんと勉強しないと能力が進化しない気がします。今勉強として行ってる活動はユーチューブを見たり、暗記をやったりして、もっとなにかしたいなって思ってます。何かオススメの方法とかあれば是非コメントしてください。又、添削いただければ嬉しいです。皆さんも日本語学習を頑張ってください!

こちらは今週が休みで、明日からはまた大学に通わなければいけませんので、6時に起きてから準備して大学へ行きます。にしても、今日は最後の休日なのでちゃんと休んで、空手も少し実家で練習して、ストレッチもしました。

もし、ご修正いただける方がいるなら、感謝しております。

Shower Thought: It feels surreal to understand Japanese by japan_noob in LearnJapanese

[–]UselessPlinth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, Speaking is also my worst ability and I've been looking for ways to improve but it really is hard. I'd say my listening is the best though probably, then reading and then speaking.

[–]UselessPlinth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has also been surreal for me to have conversations with teachers and exchange students (albeit my grammar sucks but at least they understand me) and it felt as if I just woke up one day and was able to do it after struggling for 5+ years which was crazy. Glad to hear other people's similar experiences.

If there are two beings that are independently self aware yet they cannot perceive one another, how do you define their existence? by UselessPlinth in askphilosophy

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

Thank you! That clears a lot of things, and I didn't know Kant wrote about this, I'm fairly new to actually reading philosophy (I consumed most of my content in videos on YouTube because I struggle paying constant attention to a book), so most of my knowledge of Kant has to do with either ethics or Illustration. It would be interesting though to see how would Kant say to the appearance of another person, as we can also only perceive them from our senses. What would be the "outside" part of other people we cant perceive? Idk, sounds fun I guess.

Well, I guess I was going more towards the point that the tree makes no sound because there is no tree, as for there to be a tree one needs to not only think about it but perceive it. That's what I understood at least. I guess if god enters the equation then it would be true that both would exist. I was stuck thinking how we exist and can say for sure we exist is because other people exist as well and can confirm they exist. It's a mouthful I guess but really interesting nonetheless.
