Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad on the Noumenal Universe
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 hour ago
The earliest Veda, the *Rigveda*, presents a metaphysics that in our time we will understand as naive realism or commonsense realism. But the metaphysics of the *Upaniṣads *is much more diversified—along with naive realism, idealism, and skepticism, the *Upaniṣads *have verses that make references to concepts similar to the Platonic Forms and the Kantian noumena. For instance, there are verses in the *Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad* which reject any attempt to investigate the noumenal universe through characteristics of the phenomenal universe—it theorizes in three verses (verse 2. 3. 6, ...

I know, I said I would stop bothering you with my blog. But I made an extremely unpleasant discovery. Go to Counterpunch in your blog titles for October 26. The first item on that page is about Trump and China. It says that Trump plans a nuclear attack on China at about his election time. No. It won't be a conventional form of warfare. It will be nuclear, using nuclear bombs far more powerful that those used on Japan in 1945. And the article doesn't say so, but I'm sure Trump will be calling on Canada for military support. (And I feel fairly sure the Canadian Legion will jump wi...
