Two aspect theories and ontological dependence
He does not think the will causes our representations. He thinks that the will and representations are one and the same reality, seen from different perspectives; "two sides of one coin", so to speak. The world as will and representation, not the world of will and world of representation.
Is this "two-aspect" theory consistent with an ontological dependence relationship? there is an ontological dependence of things in the empirical world representational world) on the will? or is it a mutual/reciprocal ontological dependence?

Re: Two aspect theories and ontological dependence
So one interpretation of Kant's phenomenon/noumenon distinction is that noumenon causes phenomena. Phenomena are ontologically dependent on noumena for their existence. Without noumeonon there is no phenomena.Burning ghost wrote:I don't understand what you are asking. Can you possibly present some examples or express the question more thoroughly please?
Now Schop says the thing-in-itelf ("noumenon") does not cause our mental representations. Representations and the will are two sides of the same coin, (representations mutually presuppose a subject/object division).... So we look at our hand. It is an object (a representation). But at the same time we have inner access to our hand, we are inside our hand (the will).
I'm trying to see how this fits with ontological dependence.

Re: Two aspect theories and ontological dependence
As far as I remember from my flow-chart, in points;
- 1. The Will is a Primordial ‘blind’ Force 18-29 Haldane-Kemp.
2. This blind force is filter through the individual's Will-to-Live -54, thing-in-itself, Principle Individuationis -23 and
3. from there it expresses through various elements and channels that culminate in representations.
4. These various elements comprised of a priori and a posteriori elements.
5. The a priori elements are space, time, causation, action, matter, instincts, understanding, perception and various cognitive systems.
6. Representation are 3 types, SUBJECT Vorstellung, Intuitive, Abstract [reason] vorstellung.
What is mutual is between the a priori elements and the a posteriori elements.

Different philosophical views tend to model the interaction of the human mind with the physical world in different ways. According to the philosophy one uses the settings are compatible or not.
