Key Notes

Methodological challenge stated on 2026-06-16.

normative

Jiang turns the discussion from moral memory to an epistemic challenge: before claiming the brain stores memory, one must show actual evidence for that storage claim rather than assume it.

Definition offered on 2026-06-13.

definition

Jiang defines consciousness as real wealth because inner thought is the only reality a person can know directly with certainty, whereas outer reality may be deceptive.

course framework stated on 2025-08-21

model

Kant matters to the course because he shows that humans do not access objective reality directly; perception transforms the unknowable thing-in-itself into appearances structured for human processing.

Definition used in this lecture.

definition

Jiang defines epistemology as philosophy's attempt to answer the crisis of faith by asking how knowledge and ideas come together.

Core lecture model.

model

Modern science changes the governing question from 'what is truth?' to 'how do we know truth?', making doubt rather than divine inspiration the central priority.

Epistemic and civilizational priority claim stated on 2025-12-31.

normative

Jiang says origin competitions such as who discovered gunpowder or where humanity first arose matter less than whether a story improves human understanding of the universe and the future.

Reading

Paradise first appears as receptivity rather than rank, then the lecture widens into vows, memory, resurrection, original sin, and Jiang's culminating wager that God created humanity because perfection alone cannot imagine.
