[Craig]. So is English "as you understand it, a set of concepts you have acquired over the course of a lifetime"? Or is it words, sentences, grammer, etc.? [Krimel] Well words sentence and grammar are also concepts acquired over a lifetime. [Dan] > The warmth I feel on my skin isn't really warmth on my skin. I know > intellectually that it's a mental representation of warmth on my skin > that I'm feeling. [Craig] Have you ever fallen asleep outside in the sun & woke up with a sunburn? Does this make you think there is something going on besides your experiences? Do you wonder why you don't get a sunburn every night while you sleep in your bed? I think you are both making things more difficult than they are. [Krimel] I do think we are making it more complicated than it is. To simplify, I guess I would have to say that, I am suspicious of phenomenology as an approach to ontology.
