Feb 19, 2016 at 19:27 comment added Alexander S King I like your inclusion of Hegel, but how does that fit with the first part of the OP? Could a Hegelian hold that some knowledge is still objective, or would a Hegelian necessarily subscribe to the notion that all is language/culture dependent?

Feb 19, 2016 at 19:15 comment added user9166 Except those are, for an idealist like Plato, or at least for NeoPlatonists like Augustine, outside of time and incapable of being destroyed. It helps not to assume the impossible... I also gave an actual answer, since I hate 'if I were something I am not' answers.

Feb 19, 2016 at 19:02 comment added Alexander S King If you are an idealist, then the existence of knowledge becomes a tautology of sorts: Knowledge = Existence. I think the truly interesting case here is the dualist case. But then you would have to define "If we disappear" more precisely: I would assume my disappearing to mean total annihilation, including the annihilation of whatever otherworldly mental substances I might have.
