If we want compare taste of all ripe apples we have to eat all of

Lets assume that all apples are alike, and taste a little different
and ripe. which one is the best ?

We have three choices: picking all kinds, no kind or only the best

decision to
make ? Picking and choosing.

There would seem to be three possible responses to an ideology:
subscription,
rejection, and selection (i.e. picking and choosing favorable
elements).
Regarding the one under discussion (call it German Idealism?) --
here's how
our group seems to be sorting out:
*subscription: (Saul, Luc)
*rejection: (Cheerskep, Mando, Miller)
*picking and choosing: William, Boris, Kate
In response the query that began this thread, it's interesting that
even Saul
did not find M.H.'s discussion of thingness to be especially
enlightening.
(i.e. -- it's just Kantian discourse embedded in MH's
phenomenology).
I suppose there's no point in arguing matters of faith -- either you
subscribe
to Kantian discourse, or you don't -- but I do think that the
middle ground
is
very problematic - since it's an essentialist program -- and if
you're
rejecting the essentials, you're rejecting the whole thing.
And there have been some rather catastrophic consequences when
branches of
this discourse, Marxism and Fascism, were adopted by totalitarian
regimes in
the previous century.
(regarding the dire consequences of German idealism in the
artworld, I
suppose
that's just a matter of taste)
