Medieval logic moves into tibet, paraconsistent logic moves to chan/zen buddhism in china 46:50 Those rejecting advaita claimed that advaita rejects contradiction, so cannot allow universal mind 47:13 Question: The water wave analogy doesn’t seem contradictory, if perceived as discussing two different aspects of the same entity (what it is vs what it does) 48:30 water/wave analogy ignores relational properties: if a thing has different attributes at different times 50:00 The self of a 5 year old can’t be the same as a 50 year old - to have different properties at different times is to change. THE EMPTINESS OF TIME 52:00 Can change be real if time isn’t real? 52:40 Nagarjuna on the emptiness of time: its not independent and prior to events. It is a system of relations between phenomena Existence is the wrong way to think about time - it is a structure of relations 56:00 understanding is both cognitive and somatic and spontaneous 56:30 Philosophers can feed ideas into society to improve it. 1:03:30 Interdependence can evoke forgiveness and equanimity HOW THINGS DEPEND ON IMPUTATION YET EXIST OUTSIDE OF CONSCIOUSNESS 1:05:30 EXISTENCE ACCORDING TO BUDDHISM: interdependence of parts, conditions, designation 1:07:50 because conceptual imputation is required, doesn’t mean an entity only exists when being imputed. 1:09:00 What about a chair exists when no one is experiencing it 1:13:20 according to analytic idealism - chemistry and physics are what show up when an experience is measured in a certain way SCIENCE IN BUDDHISM & IDEALISM 1:15:30 Jay believes idealism doesn't support science 1:16:50 AMIR: The regularities of nature captured by science could be the regularities of the mind of nature 1:18:40 a transcendent psychology could explain chairs popping into existence - but would you give up on science? JAY ON THE HARD PROBLEM 1:20:00 Reducibility vs Supervenience 1:24:30 Financial transactions aren’t reducible 1:26:50 Bypassing the Hard Problem: you don’t need two kinds of stuff - all cognitive events are connected to physical events 1:38:40 There aren’t two things - there are physical or psychological descriptions of the same world, taking different perspectives on the same thing 1:43:00 the fact that are data are non continuous doesn’t mean they are data for a thing that isn’t continuous 1:46:30 The rubber hits the road in philosophy in ethics
