Can't really get it. Don't arguments come from people? Do you mean listening to arguments independently of who is making them, i.e. not being influenc...
You are welcome. I understand now that you are not notified via email about "Mentions" to you. No, it's not that. As I said, it's "the mystery of the ...
Logic can be used for both beliefs and non-beliefs. "I believe that you lie" and "I don't believe that you say the truth" mean almost the same thing. ...
The Western and Eastern philosophies are very different and they view life in a totally different way, although they share a lot of things. But concer...
I will try to simplify the issue ... If someone says to you, "I am a man", would you ask him "What do you mean by that?" Asking such a question woul o...
1. If x, then y. 2. x 3. Therefore, y. OK about (1). But (2) is a true. How can it also be probable? Of course, in your scheme, both of them are incom...
One can certainly say something about the rock in the present, the present being defined as what is happening right now, at this moment, while I am lo...
If time is not material, then what's the meaning of talking about "curving", which refers to material things? My knowledge in Physics is slim, but the...
Really bad, yes. The latest film I think I watched on the subject --a very good one-- was "Thank You for Your Service". You might have seen it yoursel...
Right. It all has to do with emotions. And behind them are thoughts. And behind them is mind. That's why so many soldiers --"who do all the dirty work...
This indeed is more or less how it works, based on my knowledge and working with people in the mental area. Im not a psychologist either, but this thi...
Here is how I see the subject of the source and formation of human morality. On a first level, individuals have own --instinctive, innate (inherent)--...
Thanks. Maybe because you have read it too many times that it became indelible in your mind! :grin: Indeed, how many times do we read about "human con...
:grin: I didn't read the title, only your comment ... Then I should ask @David S ... Well, this food got cold now ... See, I mind about these things. ...
I have not seen the term foundationalism appearing in tit OP. Then, what does this have to do with my explanation of the "Theseus Ship" paradox (which...
I find the occasion to mention that the known "Theseus' Ship" is one of the many pseudo-paradoxes, i.e. paradoxes based on wrong interpretation of fac...
:grin: :up: Well, I myself have jumped out of the edge and left the seep behind me. I can only talk about the known "Theseus' Ship" is one of the many...
This could be a possibility, only that I don't undestand what do you mean by "the ground on which knowledge stands". :smile: An explanation and an exa...
Great video! Thanks for sharing! :up: *** I wrote down for myself --because I like doing that! :smile:-- 3 examples that serve as a good "exercise" in...
Wow! I didn't know that. I'll have to refresh my memory about Confucius ... Anyway, this is a principle that I always supported. Someone mentioned onc...
Interesting topic! Right. This is supposed to be said by Jesus, and so it has been persisted in time as a rule of conduct among Christians. However, J...
Oh, I didn't take it as a joke. I would if e.g. you said "if you don't understand something, it could be because you are stupid!" :grin: Well, anyway,...
There are more reasons. And, in most cases, the major reason for not undesranding a subject is that one does not undestand or misunderstands and ignor...
What you say here implies that the Gospel was written as a kind of self-help guide by persons knowledgeable in "psychology" (never mind the name) and/...
No, Buddhism is not created by Buddha. You might find some who say so, but it's inaccurate. Buddhism is founded --we don't know by whom- based on the ...
I' got plenty of logic, pleasurable thoughts and practical stuff (applications in life, etc.) from Buddhism! And I'm certainly the only one and I have...
OK, I can certainly accept "should". Where is this based on? Isn't it true that it is us who we have established both concepts (God & ethics)? I could...
Right. I'm not sure if I get that right. Do you mean that Euthyphro is wrong --and hence there's no dilemma-- because God is neither a necessity nor d...
( When, a few years ago, I heard for the first time the well known question "Has God created Man or has Man created God?" I found it cute, even if the...
Right. Yet, don't forget this very important fact: It's we who have created the concept and characteristics of God. So, whether he is an "authority on...
I see that you got really involved with dilemmas! :smile: Now, this could be a dilemma, only that "God" is a concept with characteristics that we huma...
It's only logical, isn't? Thank you. Well, at least one acknowledgment! :smile: Anyway, it's silly to argue about things that are known to be plenty o...
Haven't you read what I said? "So, you are right. It's not so simple!' Which means, I have acknowledged and accepted what you are repeating above. Hav...
The background here is Jesus vs Pharisees. I have made that clear. I gave two references on that. Yet, I couldn't find where does the statement "Whoev...
Stiil, I can't see any considerable philosophical intuition or experience required to see what these questions have in common. But anyway, it's not im...
