I think I see what you mean here. There is always a whole larger than and surrounding sub-holes. E.g. W2 = W1+B1. And that this goes ad infinitum. Rig...
What do you mean by "bounded by"? It normally means having something as its edge or simply an edge around something. What edge do you have in mind? An...
This is very true. However, etymology in English --and I believe other languages too-- is often complex and even useless. This is not the case with an...
OK. I guess this "something" is "space", right? Like a balloon ... But this seems impossible since space is part of the universe itself; it cannot be ...
Right. I see what you mean. Well, the words "exist" and "existence" can be used in different ways. And it can be used strictly (substantially, concret...
You cannot start counting 1,2,3,4,... ad infinitum and reach somewhere, anywhere. Infinity has neither a start or an end. Then, counting (natural) num...
Unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable on the subject. But, as I said, there are real paradoxes, which are quite perplexing or structured in a way that ...
A substance is something material; it consistse of matter. Time is not physical. It doesn't actually exist. It is a dimension. We use it to measure ch...
Maybe Descartes himself could explain all that. (After having been briefed on Start Trek material.) But I'm afraid he would rather say that you have m...
The term "paradox" is overrated and abused. Most "paradoxes" are simply self-contradictory, self-refuting or circular statements or statements based o...
P1) Time is needed for any change OK P2) Nothing to something is a change It's not. If it is possible, it is creation. (Nothing cannot be changed sinc...
Very interesting interpretation! And a very good example. ... And I was wondering ... where are those in this medium who have even the least interest ...
I know what you mean. But see, “obstacles” is something quite general and relative. E.g. on a road empty of other cars (no obstacles), you can drive f...
One may be "enslaved" by a lot of --and much more important and powerful-- things besides ego (in the sense of personal drives) and conscience (in a m...
But all we know about our "external world" is through our senses and our experiences. Saying that we can't know anything because all we have is our se...
So, if I understand this well, you are talking about morality in the Universe. And, since you don't specify what kind of things should exist or not, y...
Where should we search for that? Morality is a broad term: it can mean conformity to a set of rules of right conduct. It can also mean virtuous conduc...
I provided the link as my views on your topic. I will check the summary that you are mentioning and see how I can contribute with something more speci...
If I don't believe in the existence of God, any god, because there is no evidence for its existence, what does that makes me? An agnostic, an atheist,...
Neuroscience has nothing to do with the mind. Neuroscience deals with the brain. They are two totally different things. Some neuroscientists are well ...
Where were you when I was talking about definitions in philosophy? :smile: One can always reduce things of non-physical nature to something physical. ...
I'm certainly not hiding from anything. Neither do I hide anything. I'm a person who opens all his cards on the table and speak openly and clearly. An...
Certainly. Exactly. They acquire a meaning only when they are processed by the mind, i.e. decoded and undestood, This reminds me somehow of the increm...
I have not explored the "theory of signs" yet in order to assimilate this ... Exactly. There's no information anywhere, until someone decodes (transla...
I never said to stick to common dictionaries as far as philosophy is concerned. Although, good disctionaties include specialized definitions of terms ...
But it is this exact these "sign" systems I'm taking about. Initially I thought you meant "symbols", but as you went on, I saw hat you wer really talk...
Thank you Lionino for making my life easier by serving to me Banno's reference on the plate. Well, besides W's usual fallacious and unexpected ideas -...
I think that you are talking about how one uses a language in general and not esp. definitions, which is our subject. Because if one does not follow t...
BK Kastrup is one of the main --if not the main-- supporter and defender of idealism, more precisely analytic idealism. What creteria are you using to...
@"Fooloso4", @"Banno", @"unenlightened", @"NOS4A2", @"Lionino", @"Judaka", @"L'éléphant", @"JuanZu" Here's a video that shows the importance that a kn...
I see. That is, like the ink on the paper, the electrons fired on a screen, etc. And like the acoustic waves that words produce when they are uttered....
Yes, if you know that the term is causing a confustion. Which usually you don't or don't care about. This is a good idea. What do you mean by "can't l...
