This probably doesn't go any way towards answering you, but note that I should have said something like: "That is, you could argue that species member...
By the way, @"Sir2u" amd @"DingoJones": the omnivore argument is pretty lame. Surely people here should agree for the sake of argument with the very r...
I can go along with your position that interactions between non-human animals are not governed by morality, and that animals are not moral agents. The...
As BC says, hover over the discussion title to see the category. Also, when you're in a discussion the category in the left menu is emphasized in bold...
Darwin explicitly uses it as a metaphor. I can't see in what way he treats it as a deity. On the contrary. Otherwise, you seem to be railing against t...
To help people understand natural selection: it is as if there were a breeder selecting suitable variations. How is it duplicity if it's explicitly me...
Yes, in fact I agree. But given Marchesk's definition of indirect perception as the perception of mental objects (as intermediaries between things "ou...
There's a missing premise here. You assume the equivalence of the content of perception and the objects of perception. But the content of perception--...
No, it's the water that is the object of perception in cases both of feeling that's it's cold and feeling that it's warm. EDIT: in fact, the framework...
Well yes, perception is relational, depending on both perceiver and perceived (I'd also want to add the environment and the actions of the perceiver, ...
Our bodies (eyes, brain, etc) respond in specific ways to our environment. To me that doesn't make colour merely of the body. It is how we see things,...
The relational account holds that the leaves themselves are green (under certain conditions etc). This entails that it is not something mental that is...
Why do you reject the relational account, under which colour is a property of perceived things, as perceived in a certain way in a certain environment...
I don't see why. Evan Thompson's description is consistent with an account of perception that has been described as "direct". But then, different peop...
But the chemical makeup of sugar or reflective surfaces of leaves are properties of those coloured things. It's the leaves--not an "idea" or represent...
We already have a category for psychology: "Humanities and Social Sciences". It's not dedicated to psychology alone, but that seems proper on a philos...
I could be wrong but I don't think Tiff was talking about discussions that have been moved to the Lounge. Discussions are moved to the Lounge if that'...
It's odd. Some people just prefer the traditional forum design (I don't mean just PF, but in general on the web), though they never seem to be able to...
The thing I don't like about using the categories is that the individual active discussions are not listed. I think this is pretty bad for a forum hom...
The old forum had that page as well, and it's really the only one I used ("New Posts" I think it was called). The difference here is that I made that ...
Note that "All discussions" is effectively active discussions or new posts. That's what I like about it, but I have noticed that it means the front pa...
The site guidelines are pinned at the very top of the main page. Here's a link: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/480/site-guidelines The mode...
Those who sat on the right in the National Assembly and in the assemblies that followed it were the nobility, and the monarchists. It seems to me that...
Somewhat off-topic, but... In my experience the opposite is true. Conspiracy theories appeal rather to those who want neat, logical answers, in which ...
From the Communist Manifesto. They are not the "rules of Communism" and they are not a description of how communism might work. They are suggestions f...
But for W, to identify a belief is not to identify a thing in the head. To call it a proposition, and to say, "she believes she has legs", is not to s...
