So I've been super into Heidegger lately and he seems to think that Descartes philosophy marked a really important transition in metaphysics, where nature becomes understood in a specifically mathematical or calculable kind of way (that's how one of my professors put it anyway) but I feel like there are some dots which I'm not connecting here. Anyone got any thoughts on this?
"i can't make that things that happened hadnot happened" : is it a "logical truth"? That doesn't seem logical to me at all. Would the contrary 'I can make that event that happened something that hadnot happened" self-contradictory? is it not something different from the logical identity principle? is the application of the identity principle to time (to things in time) not something more than the logical principle itself? (i think about Kant's thesis : the form of aperception is not conceptual.)
Depends on what you mean by a "logical truth". It's not as if there's ever been complete consensus among philosophers about that. And something not seeming logical to you at all? Not really a sign for the rest of us that it is or isn't
Thank you for these videos! They are very helpful and clear!!
