But in what form, imaginary?
Untrue . Please read the example again, we cabn resort to logic if you will, clearly sometimes it is possible for the moon to shield you from the sun and at other times impossible. You asked for something that was sometimes possible and sometimes impossible - here you have it.
A memory is a priori by definition. Memory collected by experience implies some form of mind activity therefore a priori reasoning. Pure memory of this kind is thus impossible.
I would agree that since our minds already exist, there is a difficulty achieving a brain state with no a priori. However, empiricism can externalize data in formal manner giving more strength to deductions made using that data.
Not a very thorough investigation, would a bigger mirror help?
All of it, and its not very long. Here's the link Contradictions and Dialetheism
Straw man. Heres what I posted "That is your perception - this to illustrate that perception is more than just passive reception of sense data."
LOL! That's what you think, I'm not forcing you to take any prescription at all. In fact that's exactly what I prescribe, don't take any prescriptions.
You presented prescriptive truths that only maintained a semblance of coherence within your system. I did not reject them as a priori, I refuted them by showing them to be relative to a system ultimately depending on an a priori.
I don't need to - you have proven so yourself! See below.
Your axioms are self-evident to you. They are relative to you.

John, I wasn't making an argument, just stating an opinion--an opinion that has been stated before, in this thread, by others.

John, do you really think that a non-relativist disagrees that other people have opinions, some of which do not agree with the non-relativist's own?

Again, I realize that there are differences of opinion; I realize that many viewpoints exist.

The question isn't, are there various opinions.

The question is, on what basis should one choose their opinion.

I believe that the above is a question that relativism does not, and cannot, answer.

Keith.

Why should relativism say one what basis you should choose your opinion? Relativism does afford explanations of how people do make their decisions and, unsurprisingly, it is related to their minds (decision making process) and their circumstances.

Cheers, John
