We could say that time is irreversible, based on common sense and experience. (And Physics laws, I guess, but check https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/docume...
Well, don't be (angry)! :smile: Does the existence of God or a Supreme Being make you also angry? Does the existence of ghosts make you also angry? Th...
Maybe you mean "Everyone talks about time". Because, if you really mean "Everyone knows what time is" then I guess you also mean or can expect that ev...
I didn't say that you said these words. These words are from Wikipedia and Merriam-Webster, resp/ly. The second one is close to what you said: And sin...
Saying that "whatever exists is based on matter" is not a paraphrase of "nothing exists except matter". These are quite different things and carry dif...
I see the point. Agree. :up: This part is quite inspiring! "Intention" is indeed very important in all that we are talking about. I mention it quite o...
(BTW, thanks for your response to the topic! :smile:) No, not for any in your list! :smile: True. I see. Maybe as a way of avoiding the hard term "mat...
I could well accept this, but from my experience, there are very few among them who say and/or admit that. (I have already mentioned somewhere in this...
(Thanks for your response to the topic.) Yes, there's this interpretation too. "Materialism" (Philosophy) from ... 1) Oxford LEXICO: The theory or bel...
(Thanks for your response to the topic. Although I cannot consider it as a reply to the topic! :smile:) You say you are young and new to philosophy, a...
(Thanks for your response to the topic.) Me too. It's good that you brought up "idealism". I din't want to do it myself for not "overloading" the subj...
This is an interesting point. But then, naturalism is contrasted with supernaturalism --or, in a simpler way, natural is contrasted with supernatural-...
(Thanks for your response to the topic.) I agree. I agree. It's good that you brought up prejudice, which I believe has no place in philosophy, since ...
(Thanks for your response to the topic.) Right. I don't believe it either. Contradictions, as you say, and also ambiguities and lack of evidences --th...
(Thanks for your response to the topic.) I think you have put the subject into a good perspective and explained well the paradox-like "Materialism mea...
(Thanks for your response to the topic.) You seem to have digged into the subject quite well! :smile: Well, I, on the other hand, am not for too many ...
I know! But the quote by @Ree Zen's that you brought up was an anwer to me and leads back to me! (OK, I'm a little sensitive to being attributed state...
(BTW, I have never said or left be implied that Descartes proved the existence of this body, as @Ree Zen mentioned.) Interesting point. However, the e...
Please use "Quote" to give me the exact reference to what I have said. Because I don't remember having ever said that Descartes, with this or any othe...
:up: I have contributed to 100 topics up to now. Only you and another OP owner have thanked me for that! (There were even a lot (27) of OP owners who ...
"Sureness" from Merriam-Webster (My favorite dictionary, Oxford LEXICO, doesn't have it! :sad:) "A state of mind in which one is free from doubt." "Ce...
I don't think that my reading was "dishonest" --actually, a more correct word would be "unfair"-- because I didn't read the whole thing. And I didn't ...
Knowledge consists of facts, information and skills acquired through experience or education. A belief is an acceptance that something exists or is tr...
Nice topic. But also a dangerous one; it's a field with hidden mines! :smile: Nice quote. Present needs indeed a context. I would put though a stop at...
First of all, what do you mean by the "sense of self" and the "self" itself? Also about the concept of "ego", which features in the title of the topic...
In what the OP said, I have replaced "Ayes" with "animals", "Bees" with "four legs" and "Seas" with "cats". All the rest is the same. The conclusion (...
Certainly. But I have edited my reply and gave you right after I checked the label "possible world" ... Also, I presented a more interesting and reali...
:up: Kudos! I wish I had the patience to draw all that! (I only drew it in my mind!) What I found simpler instead was to "draw" it verbally, in my ans...
I don't think that the world will ever be morally leveled out ... At least, this what the trends show. Besides, how can it be? The main force and driv...
If it is true, well, it is True! That's what I said! :smile: I see what you say: We select one or more cats and say "these (animals) are mammals". Thi...
No, you don't. A dollar is a dollar and cents are cents. Also, you cannot use some vending, gambling etc. machines if you don't have the exact amount ...
I see. Then yes, most people think first about themselves, etc. But this depends on the culture. It has to do with social conscience. In Greece, for e...
What's "Ayes"? I guess it means simply "anyththing" ... Well, I prefer to "translate" your puzzle-problem into something more meaningful: Some animals...
Well, they are different things, aren't they? The first one means a state of being comfortable, healthy or happy. The second one is much more general ...
Why definitely "self-sacrificial"? Although sometimes you may sacrifice things you would like to do or have for yourself for the sake of others, e.g. ...
Of course, you can examine ethics from different angles, in different ways, conceptually, practically, religiously, philosophically, as a field of stu...
Ethics is not at all transcendental --not in a Kantian sense or a supernatural or abstract way or exceeding experience. It is something very practical...
It's not about communication in general. @"ceativesoul" mentioned "talk about". (Since words here are the main factor.) Otherwise, we can communicate ...
