Thankyou Mr H,

For your kind comments on my short essay. I am glad it got you thinking about how we think and measure reality in the realms of sense and empiricism and their limits. I will definitely check out your essay and hopefully provide some feedback if I can.

Best,

Jack

Dear Jack,

I highly appreciate your well-written essay in an effort to understand.

It is so close to me. «In this article, I will argue that rationalism (pure reasoning without experiential input) must have a vitalrole when it comes to revealing fundamentals».

Read my message to the question of the anthology of Vladimir I. Rogozhin https://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/3001

I hope that my modest achievements can be information for reflection for you.

    Hi Jack

    I fully enjoyed the way you put things together it and I think further words are useless.

    Rate it accordingly.

    If you would have the pleasure for a related and short axiomatic approach of the subject, I will appreciate your opinion.

    Thankyou Vladimir,

    I appreciate your comments on my essay and I am glad we had a similar approach. I read your current essay and found your claims on Newton very interesting ( from what I could understand as my physics is not as strong as yours ) and will reflect on them further.

    Good luck with your latest endeavours into nature and truth.

    Best,

    Jack

    Dear Jack H. James , you wrote a good essay, however, it was better if you were familiar with the New Cartesian Physics, where the fundamental is a space which according to the principle of identity of space and matter Descartes, is a matter and back matter is a physical space. Time is a synonym for universal total movement of the physical space. Thus, no more dualism between matter and space, between mind and body. Consciousness arises when a body appears the ability to create in space the image of the external world and to remember him for discernment and judgment. In the center of this image of the external world is the body that created it and which is actively positioning itself to prolong its existence. Descartes was a rationalist

    New Cartesian Physics needs your support to develop further. Visit my page and give your assessment there. FQXi Fundamental in Dizhechko by Boris Semyonovich

    I wish you success! Sincerely, Boris Dizhechko

      Thank you, Jack H. James , I'm here to convince everyone to use the principle of identity of space and matter to develop a theory of everything.

      Sincerely, Boris Dizhechko

      Hi Jack,

      So much philosophy, so little time!

      My essay has a squadron of pigs doing barrel rolls! With pictures! Do check it out. Perhaps you can change hats and help me with an empirical methodology.

      I did like you essay and I found a YouTube with E.J. Lowe

      All the best,

      G'day Jack!

      Criminal Law, eh. There's job security.

      Would you say that your reliance on rationalism is in many ways in recognition that good law is good logic? That morals are to ethics, what ritual is to etiquette? That ritual is assigned to display the logic behind etiquette, so that those whom eschew the ethics of social etiquette might break fewer dishes if they come to dinner? That the Rule of Law, is a logical system of proofs intended to preserve as much as possible, that an individual has equal right as the Law itself to appeal to that system of logic in defense of one's own legitimacy of person, purpose, property, papers and affects (*note Affects). And that the challenge of any good Law Director is to assure that investigations follow strict logical rules of proofs, lest the miscreant have opportunity by council to evade interdiction in apprehension by plea to logical fallacies? And that experimental evidence must be qualified to the skeptical juror?

      Cheers. Toronto John

        Dear Jack,

        (copy to yours and mine)

        Many thanks for the kind words about my work and for mutual understanding.

        The understanding and appreciation are highly valued.

        I wish you happiness in your scientific work in search of truth.

        Thanks John,

        Would you say that your reliance on rationalism is in many ways in recognition that good law is good logic?

        What a heavy question! I think 'reliance on' may be wrong words for how I think about rationalism.

        That morals are to ethics, what ritual is to etiquette? That ritual is assigned to display the logic behind etiquette, so that those whom eschew the ethics of social etiquette might break fewer dishes if they come to dinner? That the Rule of Law, is a logical system of proofs intended to preserve as much as possible, that an individual has equal right as the Law itself to appeal to that system of logic in defense of one's own legitimacy of person, purpose, property, papers and affects (*note Affects). And that the challenge of any good Law Director is to assure that investigations follow strict logical rules of proofs, lest the miscreant have opportunity by council to evade interdiction in apprehension by plea to logical fallacies?

        Well logic is certainly a part of good law, but the ethics ought to be the key determinate not logic.

        And that experimental evidence must be qualified to the skeptical juror?

        Empiricism certainly has an important role in macroscopic evidential reality.

        Best,

        Jack

        Thanks Jack,

        I quite agree. And 'appreciation of' rather than 'reliance on', would be more appropriate. I sustain your objection. :-) jrc
