]]> Comment on Martha King: Kant’s Theory of Geometry in Light of the Development of Non-Euclidean Geometries by Mike http://www.lyceumphilosophy.com/blog/?p=13&cpage=1#comment-26571 Mike Fri, 18 Dec 2009 21:12:16 +0000 http://www.lyceumphilosophy.com/blog/?p=13#comment-26571 I'd simply like to add that this has seemed to have been the trend in science in recent years. They try to shroud themselves in enigmatic obscurity to make science seem more inaccessible. In my opinion, it's more of a cry for help, because they're finding themselves against a brick wall, before which their most coveted beliefs are being exposed.

Non-Euclidean geometry always redefines common-sense propositions, therefore there is no conflict. "Curved-space" geometry from its inception negates the possibility of what could be called a straight line. A priori judgements remain intact, and any judgement from NE geometry, as useful as they may be, must be interpreted appropriately as narrowly constrained by dictated rules. For example: The shortest distance between two lines is a curve, must be understood to mean: You take the curved road, not because it's the shortest distance as you might think, but because straight lines are forbidden in this particular geometry.
