In the "Philosophical" section, the article claims "...this 'idea' is semantically distinct...from Berkeley's use of 'idea.' " How is Vorstellung different from Berkeley's idea?Lestrade (talk) 23:38, 14 July 2009 (UTC)LestradeReply

In Danish, which is closely related to German, the word forestilling is used in the same manner as its German equivalent Vorstellung, distinguishing it from the word idee, which corresponds to German Ide and English idea. Linguistically speaking, idea in English corresponds to idee (Danish) and Ide in German. Now forestilling/Vorstellung would be closer to English apprehension, conception and imagination.

"Auffassung" is "apprehension." "Begriff" is "conception." "Einbildung" is "imagination." "Vorstellung" is either "presentation" or "representation." Lestrade (talk) 23:25, 23 September 2012 (UTC)LestradeReply

Sufficient reason? edit

Latest comment: 7 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Thanks for the article but I still don't understand the concept of "sufficient reason". Obviously this is an answer to a long history. Maybe the "philosophical background" section should be augmented.84.97.87.172 (talk) 01:24, 29 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

In a judgment, a predicate that is attributed or denied of a subject must be based on at least either another judgment or on a perceived object.173.72.115.21 (talk) 13:00, 16 January 2017 (UTC)Wally NeighborsReply
