Which would be totally stable? And not connected in some way with the others too? What you mean with limited way? True. What you mean by that?

I don't see what changes to my question but ok let's just say world. Thanks I think I like it here. I will stay. I just seek for the limits of the tru...

And I say that we can be sure. Whatever you want to call it Solipsism or any other philosophical theory name I don't agree. I believe that except my m...

Well I m not into this line of thinking. Solipsism isn't my taste. Sorry I m not sure I got that.

Hmm.Why are you so sure time exists indeed as to be also infinite? It's a damn huge mystery yet for science what actually time is. I don't say that yo...

Exactly. It was the main reason for starting that thread in fact, cause I was considering of the things that actually we can be sure about the univers...

It's physic's science work for sure though. And not any science can tell us more about universe than physics.

Not sure to which point exactly you refer with that. But I can't see why providing proofs isn't the business of any science . Including natural scienc...

Respected. That it is.

Alas! Pfff. I rest my case.

The word absolute was combined with the word "Your" BEFORE it. Jesus!It is not that difficult. I didn't want to adopt what Dingo said about pedantry, ...

Well yeah true. But at the end all that universe must function in a specific way right? I mean despite human concept of "truth", it has to work in a c...

Absolute for me. See my answers above if you wish. No. I consider them the same. It had no such purpose to distinguish them. Just to cover more words ...

It simply means what the title says "Your Absolute Truths". It was already clarified. No need for all these.

I wonder why you would understand such a thing but anyway I will pass it. From the rest A and D sounds pretty logical as absolute truths for me. Thoug...

That's the exact reason that strict definitions doesn't play important role in that case. That's what I wanted it to avoid, the endless definition gam...

But nothing like that was mentioned in the OP. I see people as indeed part of the universe. Well no, we can't really know exactly how the external wor...

No need. It surely counts. So let's say remove as much human-ish as we can.Since you object that nothing that human thinks can really be totally out o...

I gave you a specific example that disputes what you take for granted. It clearly does even if you like it or not. Of course it's not the only wrong p...

So your argument is that we shouldn't live cause we will die? That's Antinatalist final argument? Then tell that from the beginning as to know not to ...

No we don't know this. At all. Case study. Someone gets born and no harm at all comes into his life till the age of 14 let's say. He is grateful for l...

Big discussion.

As to have the illusion that you are a king. Though we have to admit, if you are after that illusion it's easier, quicker and much cheaper to do drugs...

They do that to many indeed. As also the Messiah syndrome that you mentioned at another post. I have noticed myself many times to think things when I ...

I think what drugs do (among with other things of course), is "breaking" or at least loosing the social chains in the mind of humans. Like making mind...

Already did. Nothing to add further.

Also didn't prove anything either. It was just arguments since you stuck with the word "predictions" ."theory", "idea", "thought" whatever you prefer ...

He didn't know it back then though. Quantum philosophers might be correct also, that doesn't mean that we have to treat them as such till science actu...

Was that idea a breakthrough in philosophy back then?? Don't really think so. Not till Einstein(science) prove it at least. No one would believe a phi...

This is a really interesting thread. Very good question which I have wondered thousand of times myself. What more can you say(or even think) about phi...

Well actually not really.

Well I guess it depends from the evidence and from the kind faith that someone has. So each case is different. If for example someone's faith goes aga...

The thing is that they don't consider them as "evidence". They don't recognize them as such, despite for an outsider seem like evidence indeed. They w...

It is not unwarranted for the one who believes. Maybe for an outsider seems like that indeed, but not for the one who has actual faith on something. T...

As to have faith you have to have the certainty that your belief equals with the truth.

That alone says nothing at all. "no other animals are turtles but turtles".

Yeah I think I got your point. Like putting down all the scientific data we have for each concept and starting making the most logical assumptions and...

I agree that would be extremely helpful sometimes and could direct the philosophical reasoning to more fruitful grounds. At the end at every philosoph...

Well put. That is probably the case. Here I found a place where I can discuss issues that I can't discuss in my real life. Most of the people I know i...

Yeah there are a lot of vague points in such things and that's why I mentioned that science can't help in many philosophical questions. But in some fi...

I think his general point is that philosophy should have as a general starting point science facts. Of course science doesn't have all the answers for...

Yeah I forgot to mention that in some cases IS dogmatic! And good it does. If science shows Earth isn't flat and some still believe it is, well yeah g...

So what? Of course that is the case,since science doesn't have all the answers neither claims it does. But it is indeed the most appropriate method to...

Are these things what science does??? And especially to "right views"?? Since when? You have a very weird view of what science is or does I have to sa...

I don't see how this is relevant to seeking the truth. When you seek for the truth you don't need to deprive others from their rights. That has nothin...

Finding that out is also included in the search of truth progress.

It is when you are curious. And curiosity is what fueled humanity as to make all that long journey of knowledge till nowadays. Not necessarily of cour...

Can't help you with that.

Philosophy's goal should be to contribute to the search of truth for humans. And science is the only verified "human truth" we have. Science shows the...
