Dear sirHere I read translated verdict as End of knowledge is the end of the world (for humans). (Wittgenstein) Human perception is the knowledge accrued.Knowledge is what humans hold.Knowledge is time based and time is knowledge.Whatever one conceives is all knowledge which is within the time frame,which is relative.As long as there is breathing knowledge is functioning. thank you sekhar --- On Sat, 22/5/10, SWM <SWMirsky@xxxxxxx> wrote: From: SWM <SWMirsky@xxxxxxx> Subject: [Wittrs] Re: Mode of Existence for Subjective Experience To: wittrsamr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Saturday, 22 May, 2010, 1:29 AM Sekhar, I'm not sure of the relevance of this post of yours to what you appended it to.
