The being suffers and it manifests that in a lot of various ways. What other evidence shoulld we expect? How do you mean "somebody" inside a body? A s...

This is true. Even for myself, in a way. I rarily think that I have still to learn about philosophy itself. At some point I realized that I can have m...
June 09, 2022 at 17:29
I agree. Unfortunately, this is quite common. Again, I wonder why ...

Imagination, as a process, can be but it is normally not random. It is mainly a directed action of forming new ideas/concepts, images, etc. It is the ...
June 08, 2022 at 07:22
I wonder too ... Although in this case I think that it is I who bashed more @Verde for his description of philosophy than he philosophy :grin:
June 08, 2022 at 07:00
Godssake! How did you get all that? Suffice to say that Philosophy itself --it's nature-- is not a process. A process is a series of actions or steps ...

I agree. "'Supernatural' as an empty, useless term!" :smile:
June 07, 2022 at 17:31
Doesn't this have to do with the natural law of "Survival of the Fittest"? And from what I know, roaches and other insects (maybe the most hateful liv...

God and gods again and again and again ... I wonder for how more long we'll have to hear about this useless subjet, the main purpose of which is to fo...

Unfounded assumptions, assumptions, assumptions ... about an unfoundedly assumed entity!
June 07, 2022 at 16:17
Good luck! :smile:
June 05, 2022 at 17:57
OK. So, what's the conclusion? What should we do?
June 04, 2022 at 10:29
Fallacy ... From Oxford LEXICO: "A mistaken belief, especially one based on unsound arguments.". More specifically, in Logic: "A failure in reasoning ...
June 03, 2022 at 16:45
But there are already definitions. Why must construction take place at all? This was my point from day one. I can't see what is your purpose. To forge...
June 03, 2022 at 15:20
Spelling is not that impotant. More important are things that people ask you (https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/703817) and you chose ...

Thanks for the tip. My browser's cache is cleared everytime it closes. It's impossible that NY Times remembers me. Bah, simply, there are perverse min...

Good that you can. I can't. This is what I get: https://pasteboard.co/xQcRnLsIb06Y.jpg

From ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) I got the following description of ID: Intelligent design (ID) is a pseudoscientific set of beliefs based o...

I got the ridiculous message, i]"You’ve reached your limit of free articles. Already a subscriber? Log in.". What is my limit??? I guess, zero. Becaus...
June 02, 2022 at 15:55
Why create a definition? There are standard definitions around. Again, this is what dictionaries are for. Can't get this. In order to learn more about...
June 01, 2022 at 15:32
Oh, sorry. I was almost sure that you used "brain cells" in a humoriys way. I could never think that somenone would say seriously that bain cells actu...
June 01, 2022 at 12:24
Right.
May 31, 2022 at 15:49
What else one would try to establish with this action? Although I would use the description "frame of reference" --indicating an area one should move ...
May 31, 2022 at 15:41
I hope this is said jokingly, I mean "brain cells", right?
May 31, 2022 at 14:50
:pray: Glad you agree with keeping and using disctionaries! :smile:
May 30, 2022 at 09:39
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to explain why so many people and even scientists believe humans are animals and describe them as such: It's t...
May 29, 2022 at 17:01
I assume you mean your quote from an old thread on a related topic: "Only expressions of morality (codes of conduct, or normative conventions) are "so...
May 28, 2022 at 15:31
Great argument! Plus, while you seem to not know what an "animal" is, you still ignored the three definitions of the word "animal" that I took the tro...
May 28, 2022 at 05:29
OK, but I answered your question afirmatively myself. Has that helped you? Has that made any difference?
May 28, 2022 at 05:20
Are we? Definitions of "animal": "A living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and abl...
May 27, 2022 at 17:07
Quite obviously, morality does not exist in animals, by definition. So, what more are you looking for with your question and topic Do animals have mor...

May 27, 2022 at 16:34
Isn't this too evident after reading that article??
May 27, 2022 at 16:31
Yes, of course, it is very easy to find out in the Web that it's from Parmenides Dialogue, but I wonder how this could help you answering what the top...
May 27, 2022 at 16:30
I see what you mean. In fact, everyone has a philosophy about life and its various manifestations and aspects, even if one doesn't realize it or does ...
May 19, 2022 at 08:25
Obviously. Do you mean between spending a lot of time thinking, writing, and actively exploring the world ... and pursuing an academic career? If I un...

I'm not sure what the word "Would" in the question of your topic actually means; it's somehow dubious. It indicates a condition or imagined situation....
May 18, 2022 at 17:44
You most probably refer to the term "secular". Otherwise, "secularism" is far from that. It is the principle of separation of the state from religious...
May 18, 2022 at 17:27
... That's maybe how ethics look like after taking anesthetics! :grin: Anyway, good that you have finally sorted all this out! :smile:
May 18, 2022 at 17:14
Yeah, I know ... Ethics, morality and morals are used interchangeably in common language. That's why I have made a distinction and got "ethics" out of...
May 18, 2022 at 11:57
Glad you agree with that! :smile:
May 17, 2022 at 17:51
You shouldn't ask for all that if you are not interested. My constructive comment that I posted in your topic 3 days ago has been wasted. No response....
May 17, 2022 at 15:51
Can Morality ever be objective? Very interesting question and topic! :up: Morality too, like science, has to do with common agreement on principles co...

Acutally, this is "deleting", not deleting. Indeed, you cannot delete your reply even before posting it! It will be waiting for you to get posted for ...

You have posted about a dozen replies that contain just a dot. I wonder why are you doing this ... I can't think of a purpose for that is or that it i...
