This is the preview to episode 274 Part 2, Shelling on Self-Conscious, where we wrap up

our treatment of the System of Transcendental Idealism from 1800.

that we had briefly discussed in Part 1 whereby, truths of logic are supposed to presuppose

objects in the world.

Check it out.

If it is one that arises with the feeling of necessity, it must have objective reality.

So that's just a call back to what I was wondering about of what makes something objective

and that has some relation to a concept freely engendered, however you want to take that.

I can't even say that would be purely subjective to have knowledge has to be again the identity

of the subjective with the objective, which impresses itself upon us with something of

necessity.

the thing that would make scientific knowledge impossible is that since things cause each other,

those alities predicated on this idea that it'll always happen and that one thing is actually

necessitating the other and that they're not just associated representations, something

like that, just ideas that happen to follow on each other.
