Nah we startin from Leibniz Monadology, to Baumgarten, then to Kunt's lectures on metaphysics, then the prologomena, then the CritTrilogy. That's how its gotta get done. Opening a whole new fucking school of postneo-german idealism.

The chart this was in always appeared like a meme to me since it assumed one has already read Hume. Anyways, I already checked out some lectures by Kant and his pre-critical works and my conclusion is that all of it is not really necessary especially since thats why I had an idea to ask about whether there has already been one here before. The point is to fill the gaps when someone doesn't get something.

I love literature. Now I'm in a binge of japanese lit. Today I started The Sound of Waves. Being a simp doesn't make me dumber or shallow. If you can look at this woman and not recognize she's a goddess, then you can't recognize beauty in this world, and you're the one who should pay more attention to what you read.

>>ve read my good share of it.

Harris openly espouses Buddhist exceptionalism, though in his case the label Eastern exceptionalism may be more apt: Several Eastern traditions are exceptionally empirical and exceptionally wise, and therefore merit the exceptionalism claimed by their adherents. By Eastern traditions he means Buddhism and certain modern variants of the Hindu tradition of Advaita Vedanta. (He lumps them all together, despite their many differences.) But he singles out Buddhism. He says that it isn't primarily a faith-based religion; its central teachings are entirely empirical; it possesses a literature on the nature of the mind that has no peer in Western religion or Western science; and unlike Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, its teachings are not considered by their adherents to be the product of infallible revelation, but rather are empirical instructions.

In my view, these generalizations are simplistic and tendentious. Harris is working with the popular but limited concept of faith as belief without sufficient evidence. But the proper meaning of faith is trust or confidence in someone or something. Christian faith is trust or confidence in the teachings of Jesus Christ, and trust or confidence in the possibility of salvation. Buddhist faith is trust or confidence in the teachings of the Buddha, and trust or confidence in the possibility of awakening and liberation.

Faith is central to Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism. In the Abhidharma the systematic presentation of the Buddhist doctrine faith is listed as a wholesome or virtuous mental factor and as one of the five spiritual faculties. Faith has four main objects: karma and rebirth; the Buddha's teaching that existence is conditioned, impermanent, and fundamentally unsatisfactory; the three jewels of the Buddha, his teaching, and the Buddhist community; and the Buddhist path, including the prospect of liberation from suffering and the experience of nirvana.

These central teachings aren't empirical; they're normative and soteriological. They're based on value judgments that aren't subject to independent empirical test, and they evaluate the world according to the desired goal of liberation. Although it's unquestionably true that Buddhism possesses a vast and sophisticated philosophical and contemplative literature on the mind, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam also possess sophisticated philosophical and contemplative writings about the mind. These writings build on the rich and intricate heritage of Platonic, Aristotelian, and Stoic thought. The Buddhist texts aren't less metaphysical than the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic ones. Buddhist literature about the mind is filled with metaphysical viewpoints that modern people find doubtful. Finally, although the teachings of Buddhism aren't considered to be the product of divine revelation, the cognition of a buddha is traditionally considered to be omniscient and infallible, and hence his or her teaching is incontrovertible.
