Yeah. I often talk about the butterfly hideously sucking flowers, how its so senseless. Also noses breathing air.

It's ok kFoyauextlH, other people will label your philosophy for you, and neatly categorize it. They will hand each other neat, overly reductive synopsis of what they think your thoughts are.

[kFoyauextlH]

Haha that is exactly what I am looking for!

Nobody is monolithic - we should not view philosophy as a boxing match after all. Contradictions, when put together synthetically can produce a picture that is ambigious and uncertain, but there is a clarity of its appearance. 

Truth is a religious concept and constants are not fixed. Kant's 'thing in itself', is consciousness, philosophy has always been about consciousness and so psychology is a necessary language for philosophy.

[kFoyauextlH]

Yeah, mainly I was hoping someday in reading the initial post people might be reminded of things they have read or cross by later and then can say oh that sounds like such and such ism or the ideas of so and so when it or they says or said this or that.

[atreestump]

That to me, is the point of the whole forum, not just this thread.

[kFoyauextlH]

Haha yeah that would be great if it worked out like that.

I wonder if there are any places already established and successful where people share their thoughts and feelings. I've been everywhere man, and I have rarely ever seen users speaking like the way one sees here in the posts.

"Kamts thing in itself is consciosness"
I don't think it is, it is the thing as it is devoid of interpretation, it is something we cannot know but have to presuppose it's exsistance, like truth, or free will for example, whether it exists or not, it is necessary to believe in it's existance to experience/ investigate it.

This makes consciousness a central issue/problem, how can we transcend our consciousness to know how the world creally is? This is why Kant is a transcendental idealist, he postulates that there are things that come aproiri , before experience, like things in themselves, that it is necessary for our experience to think they exist independently, thusctranscending idealism.
