The concept serving a function I have also had a tendency to to tell people that I think the world is something we impose on the phenomena we encounter Gabriel has convinced me that what I ought to say is a world rather than the world any world being one of infinitely many and that we impose is probably badly put Philosophy El sentido de la vida esEsa es la ltima pregunta que responde el libro No merece la pena leerlo Philosophy Dice la contraportada de este libro que el autor es el Marc M rquez de la filosof a No soy yo mucho de espect culos deportivos pero creo que este autor se parece m s a lo que era Lorenzo terriblemente arrogante.

a fi doar o imagine a noastr care cel pu in ar fi o mic p rticic din c te este compus lumea Philosophy What is perhaps for me most notable about Markus Gabriel s WHY THE WORLD DOES NOT EXIST is that I came almost completely around to its general line of argumentation as well as the efficacy of its reasoning despite having spent much time during my reading of the first quarter of the book or thereabouts nearly convinced that I absolutely hated it There were a couple of principal reason for this disfavour in the early going These reasons were I believe legitimate Let s take a moment to consider a passage of Gabriel s from fairly early in the introduction We might call this passage something akin to a thesis statement There are planets my dreams evolution the toilet flush hair loss hopes elementary particles and even unicorns on the far side of the moon to mention only a few examples The principle that the world does not exist entails that everything else exists For this reason I can already announce that I will claim as my first principle that everything exists except one thing the world The crux of the point seems worthy I would imagine it a proposition for which a convincing case might well be made But the delivery is or at least was slightly irksome to me It s an issue of rhetoric Of course the invocation of unicorns on the far side of the moon has given the folks at Polity the publisher of this English translation of the book the inspiration for their quite charming cover I like the cover I liked the cover and I liked the idea that an exhaustive case can be made that literally anything that can be conceived of exists the world being the only exception these are two of the reasons I bought the book But this business with unicorns on the far side of the moon later they will be presented again augmented with the addition of police uniforms is characteristic of a kind of queasily cutesy approach to metaphor simile and extrapolation by of example I am not going to overburden you with examples from the text Let me just include one this one from the first chapter What is this Actually the World Here we find another analogous bit of silly sophistry Gabriel very much performing the imagining of a hypothetical mereological sum of all properties consisting of my left hand Angela Merkel s favorite book and the most expensive Currywurst south of Frankfurt plus everything else Too much of this stuff gets annoying fast You start to imagine that some artificial intelligence prototype or alien from another dimension has come to you believing it can convince you it is human by wearing a loud Hawaiian shirt Perhaps one might also recall unconvincingly undercover Steve Buscemi s How do you do fellow kids from the television comedy series 30 ROCK Of course I am aware that my putting matters thusly brings me dangerously close to practicing the exact same rhetorical method I am critiquing Perhaps I find it all the vexing for being contagious Markus Gabriel is not the only contemporary philosopher theorist or critic who utilizes this particular variety of device I have noted for example its regular utilization in the writings of Terry Eagleton and this has got to be considered one of the reasons that I have essentially decided that I am not going to be reading Terry Eagleton It would seem very likely that part of why I grew increasingly fond of WHY THE WORLD DOES NOT EXIST is that Gabriel uses this particular sort of device less frequently in the later rewarding sections of the book Another thing I objected to in the early sections of WHY THE WORLD DOES NOT EXIST was the author s general tendency toward trite expedience much of this involving what I perceived to be fatuous strawman arguments unacceptable reductions and suppositions that certain problems have been reconciled without the author believing he has to demonstrate that this is satisfactorily the case Gabriel asserts that postmodernism was is a form of constructivism in the sense that postmodern theory would appear fundamentally conditioned by the precept that there are absolutely no facts in themselves and that we construct all facts through our multifaceted forms of discourse and scientific methods He does not make the case that there is in fact an overarching body of postmodern theory and he fails to address it specifically in any discernibly existing context This is all to common today and we might tend to associate such dismissive claims with a certain odious psychology professor with a marked online presence If anybody does claim what Gabriel would have so called postmodernists claiming and if they do so without qualification then I would agree that they should be called to task for doing so Gabriel does not properly call anybody in particular to task I do not see the postulate that Gabriel sees operative in postmodern theory as a central presupposition in the works of poststructuralist theorists like Derrida and Foucault In fact when Gabriel goes on to say that scientific method is legitimate for establishing truths though compromised when using the truths gleaned from the practice of method to serve an overarching worldview or world picture I would be inclined to suggest that he finds himself extremely close to Foucault There are other examples of dubious expediences of argumentation When Gabriel makes a distinction between ontology related to being and metaphysics related to the true hidden nature of the world I don t think he does so in good faith Later Gabriel will call Hegel the ultimate early modern metaphysician on account of the concept of the absolute idea There are many who would argue and with good reason that the absolute idea can be situated within the domain of ontology Not that I am a fan of the concept of the absolute idea Though the book did grow on me and though these various examples of expedience do lead to critical insights of considerable worth there is another argument central to WHY THE WORLD DOES NOT EXIST that I am not satisfied with even as it reemerges in the final pages Namely Gabriel does not believe that everything is connected In the introduction he asks us to consider the worlds plural within worlds again plural within even just a small restaurant where one may happen to dine on a given night Many things are connected with many other things but it is false in the strictest sense actually impossible that everything is connected This is an adequate assessment if we mean that things are not all comprehensively connected within a single field of sense which is to say within a single comprehensive world picture but Gabriel is missing something crucial He believes that and he states this directly the infinite is infinite and there are also infinite perspectives on the infinite which does not mean that all such perspectives are equally good or equally useful Perspectives are constantly contested and they are regularly altered or modified Right But with infinite fields of sense within the context of the infinite would there not be infinite ways of infinitely connecting elements of previously unrelated fields of sense within new fields of sense That would be my contention I want to believe that everything is connected To do that I do not believe I need a comprehensive and closed off world picture Gabriel presents his project as a new or emergent philosophical system but hardly as a complete break with precedent He usefully borrows from many distinct domains He calls this project new realism and explains that it was born over the course of a lunch with Maurizio Ferraris in the summer of 2001 New realism arrives in the aftermath of postmodernity a phase that had sought to dispel the dominance of metaphysical illusions Okay Maybe provisionally sort of okay It was metaphysics that gave us the world in the first place Gabriel wants to be done with the world on account of its not existing but he also wants truth and sense and things in themselves So we might add did folks like Gilles Deleuze New realism is founded upon the conviction that not only are human existence and knowledge not a collective hallucination but that it is simply not the case that we are always or almost always mistaken This does not mean that we are never mistaken rather that mistakes can be called mistakes proven to be such and argued about even if they remain actual true existing things called mistakes as true as unicorns we might imagine existing on the far side of the moon The constructivist approach which achieves its first triumphant modern moment with Kant rather than the so called postmodernist horde only permits things to exist as apperceptive representations but new realism something like a complementarity rather than a constructivist model holds that thoughts about facts exist with the same right as the facts at which our thought are directed Gabriel doesn t want the constructivism of Kant the monism of Spinoza what with the world not existing or worst of all the dualism of Descartes He is a little available to the pluralism of Leibniz s monodology If there were in fact a world which there isn t it would have to be the living and real manifestation of Heidegger s concept of the domain of all domains Gabriel agrees that this is what the world would have to be but as there is no such supra domain or super object the world does not and cannot exist primarily because in cannot be found inside its domain what with nobody having access to an additional domain from which to appraise the world The world is not there because it cannot be found in the world We can have something like a picture of the infinite and indeed we need the infinite because the infinite is our home even if we are ourselves flung into a condition of existential finitude We can formulate the infinite but what we cannot formulate is our container on account of there being no such container There are infinite domains and these domains exist within various fields of sense Here we see how Gabriel has much in common with phenomenologists and hermeneutists He will at one point praise Hans Georg Gadamer and the supposition that there can be truth independent of exacting method because different truths have different fields of sense If the beings who sense exist in a condition of plurality this means that there are any number of provisional worldviews and that sentient beings will operate very much in accordance with something like their own independent horizons of interpretation which are themselves fields of sense Now I have already made passing reference the the odious psychology professor who hates Neo Marxist Postmodern Relativists so let s note something very interesting here Yes Gabriel is dismissive of any kind of theory that suggests that truths of any kind are purely human constructions He also completely rejects the idea that all truths are equally valid or valid to the same extent and in the same manner such that all truth is relative However I cannot think of fields of sense without thinking of Einstein and the theory of relativity precisely because of the fact that any given field of sense requires the appearance of the domain or the field which Einstein would call its frame of reference The frame allows for the intelligibility of and or for legitimately meaningful calculations germane to the correlation of elements within the field domain or frame It is interesting to me that though Gabriel does occasionally mention Einstein he never does make mention of this particular correspondence For Gabriel truths exists relationally between objects or things within a field of sense and the thing being in possession of spirit and thereby capable of sense Truth does not exist in the brain or body of the being of sense This means that the field of sense is not implemented by the being of sense Rather it appears or presents itself to sense within a field of sense Nevertheless the appearance of the field of sense is a grounding operation a provisional worlding The word world can present itself here in its provisional sense but within the context of a Leibnitz like pluralism rather than a Spinozist infinite substance type monism which is implicitly metaphysical from Gabriel s standpoint substance here becoming super object Anyway as established as Gabriel proceeds along I am finding myself and taken with his reasoning At a certain point I am beginning to realize that having earlier believed I might all but hate it I maybe kind of love WHY THE WORLD DOES NOT EXIST This produces a curious and altogether agreeable eventuation Though I had previously found his rhetorical expediences and strawman arguments dubious at best the best stuff in the whole book most of it consigned to the fifth chapter The Meaning of Religion involves in a manner already being set up late in the fourth chapter a taking to task of zealous scientist atheists the likes of Richard Dawkins et al Now I am not a religious person nor do I believe in an actual Heavenly Father situated up above who has a special interests in the beings and things he created Still I am totally on board with Gabriel here I couldn t agree Having already agreed that if we imagine unicorns on the far side of the moon then they exist I am also a person who has in the past when asked how a reasonable person can believe in God or gods countered with the question as to how a reasonable person can pose a question about how a thing he she or what have you doesn t believe exists but which has just been mentioned exists God exists gods exist but in a particular field of sense and it is the historical persistence of these fields of sense that point to the centrality of the function God performs for beings of sense flung randomly into circumscribed existence within the context of an infinite the full extent of which cannot be actively experienced by any living being For no scientific investigation will ever be able to free us from having to renegotiate the rules by which we live in order hopefully to place them on a rational foundation Physics simply cannot replace the function God is called to perform in a separate field of sense and we should not identify the meaning of religion with a set of superstitious beliefs as this will make us blind to the very need articulated in religion to the present day I have always know that God exists because God is a concept people discuss poco consciente de su juventud y no tan bueno como l mismo se cree.

Why the world does not exist book review Por mucho que diga el t tulo gancho marketiniano que lo acerca a la divulgaci n en realidad este libro contiene la tesis filos fica ontol gica de su autor en tres o cuatro errabundos cap tulos y luego otros varios en los que en muy pocas p ginas trata de despachar la filosof a de la ciencia la de la religi n y la del arte la est tica para darse la raz n a s mismo y a su tesis sta su tesis viene a decir que el mundo entendido como la totalidad la Naturaleza Dios de Spinoza o la Idea de Hegel no existe porque no hay un super objeto totalizante y mucho menos metaf sico que lo abarque todo Y que precisamente ese todo que nosotros pensamos no es otra cosa que un conjunto infinito de lo que el llama campos de sentido Una especie de realidad fractal autocontenida Como se ve es una tesis que podr a ser interesante si el autor tratara de explicarla de alguna manera a ello dedica no m s de seis p ginas llenas de divagaciones de un total de doscientas en lugar de arremeter contra todos los fil sofos y corrientes filos ficas que no le dan la raz n Que vienen a ser casi todas porque a la postre la que m s critica el constructivismo es a la que m s se parece. The world does not exist for ■ ■ Para defender su tesis y como gran grand simo pecado de juventud como pensador el libro viene a decir que Tales Descartes Spinoza Kant Hegel y otros muchos en realidad todos est n equivocados En la mayor a de los casos lo dice NOMINALMENTE menos en el de los grandes idealistas puros porque le debe dar verg enza Pero vamos que est n todos equivocados Cada uno a su manera eso s Y que las cosas que dec an EN REALIDAD significaban otra cosa incluso la contraria lo de Derrida es para nota Y que esa otra cosa que significaban le da la raz n Y los refuta en 2 p ginas por cabeza con suerte Ya que la realidad es as porque lo dice el autor y tampoco hace falta mucho m s texto para refutarlos a todos son cosas evidentes. Why the world does not existing Y ese mismo argumento el esto es as b sicamente porque yo lo digo se repite inmisericordemente p gina tras p gina haciendo gala de unas analog as pop l ase banales est pidas y sonrojantes la de los pasajeros subiendo al tren que repite en varios puntos es terrible supongo que para darle tonillo divulgativo que suelen estar rematadas por punch lines que dar an mucha risa en una clase de instituto se abusa de razonamientos circulares y se usan axiomas encubiertos que se dan por reales pero que en el fondo esconden contradicciones y m ltiples interpretaciones La anti filosof a vamos. World itself could not contain the books Su razonamiento es absolutamente contradictorio se separa del constructivismo y la ciencia para acabar usando sus mismas construcciones con otros nombres y despacha en una sola frase argumentos a los que han dedicado carreras enteras otros fil sofos su argumentaci n sobre los hechos y el ser tiene a Heidegger llorando en su tumba o su apartado de la est tica ha convertido a Hartmann en un paria. Why the world does not exist book review Adem s seg n l todo lo que l dice no tiene NADA que ver con otras teor as l es un genio no lo dice pero es que es TIENE QUE SER evidente aunque en el fondo toda su tesis sea una mezcla bastarda de constructivismo light pasado por una interpretaci n de la teor a anal tica a la que critica compar ndola con la religi n pero de la que se vale todo el tiempo y aderezado con alguna dosis de metaf sica con otro nombre encubierta su concepto de nada que es su deus ex machina final y justificador se parece asombrosamente a otros conceptos metaf sicos previos y que el propio autor critica Kant por ejemplo Con todo ello no s si es que el autor asume que su lector no sabe nada de nada nunca ha le do filosof a o es la primera vez que se acerca a estos temas. Kindle why the world does not exist book review De los cap tulos de la religi n la ciencia y el arte no digo nada porque dan aut ntica verg enza ajena Son breves y malos Dan la sensaci n de ser art culos para publicaciones que el autor ha revisado metiendo con calzador lo de los campos de sentido y que se leen con una mezcla de incredulidad y ofensa por lo pueril err tico y poco trabajado de su contenido He terminado el libro trabajosamente y sumamente encabronado para ver si acababa ofreci ndome algo s lido todo ese esfuerzo para encontrarme que TODA su tesis ontol gica cabe literalmente en la ltima p gina y para comprobar que adem s termina con una frase buenrollista new age m s propia de Bucay. Why the world does not exist book review Si le is filosof a con soltura ni con un palo lo toqu is Philosophy Gabriel constructs scarecrows of his imagined opponents Foucault in particular which he then merrily guns down Problem is Foucault et al never have argued that simplistic and trivial as Gabriel insinuates This is bad style philosphically as well as intellectually For me this obliterated some of the clever arguments and intellectual games in the book Philosophy Auf dem Umschlag steht ein gro artige Gedanken bung Genau das ist es Herr Gabriel erkl rt warum es die Welt nicht gibt aber warum es trotzdem alles andere gibt. Why the world does not exist ebook review Neue Erkenntnisse hat mir die Lekt re nicht verschafft aber immerhin wurde ich gut unterhalten und der Autor scheint ein sehr sympathischer Mensch mit gutem Filmgeschmack zu sein Philosophy Slavoj i ek nennt das Buch auf dem Umschlag eine gro artige Gedanken bung und das ist es gewiss Bei alledem ist der Text aber auch gut lesbar und sogar ohne gro e philosophische Vorbildung m helos zu versehen Der Autor hat also ein seltenes Talent Vielleicht ist philosophische Vorbildung sogar hinderlich verstellt sie doch den Blick auf das Einfache und Naheliegende Kann ein 2013 noch junger Mann im 21 Jahrhundert einfach so mit 2500 Jahren Philosophiegeschichte brechen indem er Spinoza Monismus Descartes Dualismus und auch Aristoteles einfach mal eben so entsorgt Gegen Spinoza wird eingewendet dass nicht Alles mit Allem zusammenh ngt weswegen es kein gro es Ganzes als das Eine geben k nne Die Welt als Gesamtzusammenhang alles Seienden gibt es daher nicht Auch die L sung des Descartes Geist und Welt einander gegen berzustellen was auf die altbekannte Subjekt Objekt Dialektik inklusive der Unterscheidung von Materialismus Naturalismus oder Idealismus hinausl uft wird verworfen Insofern Gabriel die lateinische Bedeutung von Existenz w rtlich nimmt insistiert er darauf dass Existieren eben Erscheinen bedeutet was auch meint dass es immer einen Rahmen geben muss in dem etwas erscheint Gabriel nennt das Gegenstandsbereiche wobei nicht jeder Gegenstand in beliebig vielen Gegenstandsbereichen erscheinen kann und es wom glich Bereiche gibt die uns und unseren Sinnen eben noch nicht erscheinen Damit dem Descartes Welt also erscheinen k nnte m sste er einen Gesamtzusammenhang erfassen den er wie wir der Unendlichkeit wegen nie w rde erfassen k nnen Der R ckzug auf das Cogito ergo Sum ist dabei untauglich da auch das Selbst Bewusstsein irgendwo erscheinen muss um also solches erfahrbar zu werden Dieses Irgendwo nennt Gabriel Sinnfeld und das Resultat seiner berlegungen wird ihm also zur Sinnfeld Ontologie Aristoteles scheidet hier aus weil Gabriel auch den Geist als einen Sinn wie Sehen H ren Riechen usw fasst der verschiedene Sinnfelder erfassen miteinander kombinieren aber eben auch schaffen k nne was am Beispiel der Kunst erl utert wird Gustav Aschenbach ist in diesem Sinne fiktiv agiert aber in Venedig einem erfahrbaren Ort und halluziniert Dinge die dem Leser als wahrheitsf hige Aussagen und also Tatsachen erscheinen k nnen Tatsachenbehauptungen sind nicht fiktiv weil berpr fbar. Why the world does not exist book review Sieht sich Gabriel deswegen in keiner philosophischen Tradition Interessanterweise kn pft er an von der popul ren Philosophie fast vergessene Zeitr ume an Renaissance und Barock Er verweist zutreffend und nat rlich gegen die Postmoderne gerichtet darauf hin dass in der Renaissance diverse Perspektiven urspr nglich keine Meinungen keine blo en Sehweisen sind Die visuelle Perspektive ist eine objektive Struktur deren mathematische Gesetze in der Renaissancemalerei ins Zentrum r cken und die dann im Barock zu einer radikalen Pluralisierung und zur Entdeckung moderner mathematischer Methoden gef hrt haben mit dem mathematischen Unendlichen zu rechnen S 238 Leibniz l sst gr en Dem wurden in der Monadologie angesichts der unendlichen Vielfalt der einfachen Substanzen die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven notwendig zu ebenso viele Universen zit n ebd also zu unendlich vielen Gabriel modernisiert diese Idee zu der prinzipiell unendlichen Zahl m glicher Sinnfelder die einander allerdings anders als Monaden durchdringen und so neuen Sinn in neuen Kontexten generieren k nnen Gemeinsam ist beiden Ans tzen allerdings dass sie die Grenzenlosigkeit der Unendlichkeit ernst nehmen was Gabriel hierin unbelasteter als Leibniz zum Postulat der Unm glichkeit der Existenz einer alles umfassenden Welt zwingt womit er die logische Unm glichkeit der Existenz Gottes gleich mit behauptet Gott h tte uns erschaffen m ssen um ein Sinnfeld zu haben in dem er erscheinen kann weil er ohne seine Erscheinung in der Welt kein Sein weil kein Sein f r Andere h tte Freilich k nnte auch der Sch pfer Gott nur eine Welt im Sinne eines bergreifenden Rahmens in dem die uns denkm glichen und erfahrbaren Sinnfelder Sinn ergeben schaffen bliebe aber selbst nur Teil einer aus unendlich vielen Teilen bestehenden Sinnstruktur deren Herr er nie sein kann Soviel zur Allmacht Gottes Davon ab ist das Religionskapitel das schw chste weil m. Why does the world's fair not exist anymore E nicht einzusehen ist warum dem Sinnfeld Theologie wenn schon nicht die Naturwissenschaften die konsequenterweise nicht Alles erkennen also die Existenz Gottes nicht widerlegen k nnen dann doch die Philosophie Gabriels entgegengesetzt wird Immerhin brauchen wir Gott nicht um Sinn zu erfahren denn wenn der Autor sich selbst ernst nimmt stimmt dass wir dem Sinn nicht entrinnen k nnen Sinn ist sozusagen unser Schicksal wobei dieses Schicksal nicht nur uns die Menschen sondern eben alles betrifft was es gibt Die Antwort nach dem Sinn des Lebens liegt im Sinn selbst Dass es unendlich viel Sinn gibt den wir erkennen und ver ndern k nnen ist schon der Sinn Oder um es auf den Punkt zu bringen Der Sinn des Lebens ist das Leben Damit hat mich Gabriel endg ltig zum berzeugten Anh nger der Sinnfeld Ontologie gemacht und nicht weniger als mein ganzes eh schon in Richtung auf einfache Wahrheiten verunsichertes materialistisches Weltbild umgekrempelt und so auf die F e gestellt dass es wieder tr gt Kurz Ein empfehlenswertes Buch dem viele Leser innen zu w nschen sind Philosophy This is a pretty demanding book It s written with wit and in a rather engaging style but it s still a tough intellectual work out On the whole I think it s worth the effort but it s not an unmitigated intellectual treat by any means. Why the world does not existk pdf I am not a philosopher although I have studied Philosophy of Science and it s an interest which I have kept up Markus Gabriel makes a decent stab at moving on from the sort of postmodern nonsense we ve been subjected to of our internal view of the world cannot be the world itself so therefore anyone s internal view is equally valid He does it with wit and verve and makes a decent case for his New Realism. Why the world does not exist pdf full book It s not really for an amateur like me in a place like this to attempt to assess how valid Gabriel s ideas may be However with his admittedly slightly playful assertion that the title that the world as an entirety is not to be found within the world and therefore cannot exist he seems to me to be on some very thin philosophical ice Philosophers do like to play fast and loose with logical operators like therefore and because and Gabriel isn t immune from this For what it s worth this just reads to me as a simple category error like Here we have a pair of gloves However the pair is not contained within the gloves so therefore the pair cannot exist The physical gloves and the concept of a pair are not of the same category so this is plainly logical nonsense and Gabriel seems to me to be making the same error about the world I had a similar sense in a number of places but it s reasonably cogent and sound enough to be stimulating rather than just infuriating This is a considerable relief to someone who has actually read the whole of Baudrillard s The Gulf War Did Not Take Place for example There is sometimes the slightly arrogant feel which seems to occur in a lot of philosophical writing where authors adopt an if you don t agree then you re too stupid to understand tone It s not as bad here as in some I ve read though and at least the writing is largely comprehensible I d say this is well worth a go if you re interested in this sort of thing It is decently written has some stimulating stuff in it and did make me think which is I suppose what I m looking for in a book like this I can recommend it on that basis Philosophy The world does not exist but maybe the universe does And the unicorn too. Ebook why the world does not exist free download So are the noumena out of consideration I had great expectations about the book The cover title is an epistemology question But I guess it is not that satisfactory the author s answer in the first chapters of the book I think it needs a bit of refinement his notion of fields of sense I had the privilege of watching his presentation on Ted Talks M nchen and having heard him saying that the fields of sense are contexts I pretty much doubt many understood his justification for a non existent world Elsewhere I heard him saying about the meaning of his book denying the metaphysical principle of the unity of reality His epistemological stance New Realism needs elaboration So I got a bit disappointed and I acknowledge how far and away from Kant Markus Gabriel is And yet I was certainly pleased by the last chapter on Art And in a lesser degree I was also pleased with the penultimate chapter on Religion I will keep my belief in the Unicorn. Why the world does not exist ebook download UPDATE1Sir Markus Gabriel Though the world doesn t exist there are those trying to save it the whole world If only you could tell them it s pointless Isn t it UPDATE2Sir Markus GabrielI ve heard you saying in the Gran Canarias in Spanish language the only discipline that studies the structure of thought is Philosophy Most important and most general of all disciplines.
