Philosophical Speculations

I want to share some feedback from Bruce's cross-post of this essay: "I did get some feedback about your first post. A friend tried to read it and was not able to finish reading. Not because it was bad but because it was so long. She may come back to it, but you might consider shortening what you ...

I find it very helpful how you've highlighted that the higher faculties don't supply contents to which cognition then applies a further criterion, but progressively change the relation between knowing and known, so that the "mark" is not a phenomenal property stamped on a representation but the ...

I wonder whether the whole problem of verification is, in a sense, orthogonal to the purpose of Steiner's spiritual-scientific output.

With all due respect for your sense of what is worth pointing out, I don’t think that Christ impressed the gateway to freedom “into the elemental fabric of the cosmos via the Church”, or whatever the Church does (btw, if you’re short of capital Cs, I would respect hierarchy over preference and go: … ...

This shared imaginative atmosphere then becomes the temporal undergirding of the future earth sphere that you are pointing to. Interestingly enough, I just came across a helpful Facebook post outlining the undergirding nature of Time-rhythms from the spiritual scientific perspective. *** "Time does ...
