Philosophy - August 2006

Kant thought we humans can only know the appearances of things that exist but not the essences(true natures) of the things behind those appearances.

This is a Q in Metaphysics aka Theories of Reality. Please, I prefer A's in your own words.

A cube is a three-dimensional object, it has six sides. However, we can only see three sides at a time. Now imagine that six random digits are written on each side of the cube. Without rotating or moving the cube, how would you go about finding out all six digits. Can you guess the 3 digits that you cannot see? Your friend, being in the same situation, can only see the same 3 digits as well. On the other hand, his guess is probably different from yours. But will you suggest that your guess is more correct than his?

Now to put things into perspective, imagine that our universe is the cube. Is our understanding of the world truth or bias? Knowledge or opinion?

I am Christian African American man who goes to a mostly white church. Most of my friends are white. I am a deaf interpreter and my wife is deaf. I see things between AA and white Christians are getting better in many ways and yet when I tell them that racism is still alive in 2006. They seem to have a closed mind or they do not want to hear the sad truth. Since I work in the deaf ministry, black and white deaf is not a major problem. Most of my white Christian friends have an open mind and yet there are those who refuse to have an open mind. These inviduals feel that the term (African American) is political correct term and there is no racism. I try to be patient and educate them the reality of race relations and how the term (African American) is to uplift and give pride to descendants of African heritage. If you are African American, do you have how you do deal with those who do not see racism in the USA? If you are white, do you try to see things from an African American Point of view?

Are we really conscious beings or are we just slaves to the physical world just like all other animals?
