Of course it is not immoral to be Boring. You only create boredom. Most people do that most of the time! :grin: Can you blame them for that? If you wo...
Your title and hence your topic "An Attempt at Establishing and Developing an Ethical Theory" contains the following flaws: 1) There are enough philos...
OK. But I still find the question/subject ambiguous, since you did not agree with my "What does 'being' mean?" interpretation ... :grin: I have the ha...
I see. So "X: represents an existent prior causality to Y" is an hypothetical element. So, we don't know whether Y exists or not and we don't know whe...
Thank you. Unfortunately, I cannot follow easily the analyses by and about the mentioned (and other) philosophers anymore, as I could in the distant p...
I think the title is not very clear: "Being" with a capital raises questioning and ambiguity. E.g. "What does 'being' mean?" would be something more c...
But you have established that "X represents an existent prior causality to Y". So, if we know that X exists, how can we not know that Y has an X? The ...
Wow! Not responding to any of my replies to two topics of yours! Re: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/616706 Re: https://thephilosoph...
Interesting topic! I have, however, quite a few questions/reservations on the whole thesis ... Doesn't the second premise imply the first one? Wouldn'...

"COVID-19 anti-vaccination" is just what is says: being against COVID-19 vaccines and vaccination. For whatever reason. Anti-vaccination may be relate...
So, for the second time, you are referring to an imaginary "God"! You don't understand either the simple thing that I am saying above or what you your...
I said "in my list". And my list was: "Christian? Hindu? Islamic? A personal 'God' ... or any other imagined, constructed 'God'?". OK? Google "imagina...
An quick, offhand answer: It depends on how one uses them, if one is gullible or sophisticated, if one has sound judgment and in general, on how one d...
(Loosely and "arbitrarily" defined-described) "Emotional health" means having mainly positive emotions and control over them. "Mental health" includes...
Most probably you mean a 180 turn, because a 360 turn doesn't change anything: you get back to the same point where you were! :smile: As for "love doe...
After posting the present comment, I found out that I have already responded to your topic! Anyway, you can ignore this second response, but it's quit...
Emotions do not have meanings. A meaning basically signifies what is meant by words, ideas or actions. A meaning is an implied or explicit significanc...
The meaning of symbols, as of everything else, refers normally to a mental, intellectual process. The word "meaning" means roughly "what words, ideas ...
Emoticons are used "to express a person's feelings, mood or reaction, or as a time-saving method." So, they are actually a kind of EQ substitutes, sin...
It's not easy for people to even recognize their own emotions! About so. A high EQ is apparently needed to recognize others's emotions. But it's not e...
Thanks for the tip. I know about that. But this is if you want to mention someone, which will involve a notification from TPF to that person, etc., an...
So, to summarize: I asked a question to the @TheQuestion (the poster), then @god must be atheist replied to me instead of him, then I replied to him, ...
Thank you for replying at the place of the poster, @TheQuestion to whom I addressed my question and who is responsible to clear up this issue and who,...
Since I have already done it, I will "patronize" you a little more, by advising you to stick to the facts instead of using "adjectives" ... (I say thi...
Of course you are confused. Because I, personally, didn't agree with that. What I said exactly was, "Indeed, most references agree that that physicali...
Of course. Not only it isn't but also it can't. There's no such a thing as a universal, absolute or objective truth. As an opinion cannot be true or f...
I see how you use the term "physicalist". And indeed, most references agree that that physicalism is a metaphysical position and also that it's opposi...
I don't know if you use the word "intelectual" in general or from a philosophical view. Because it is too general and it includes writers, artists, et...
Re: "You don't need to read philosophy to be a philosopher" Everyone has a philosophy of life and about various subjects in life. In the same way that...
I don't quite understand the phrase "by the success of science". Also, I didn't mention anything about "proving" anything or about what you are convey...
Good that you defined "wisdom". But I think the key word and "unknown" here is "legitimate". It mainly means conforming to the law or to rules. Lettin...
Physicalists, by definition, and also according to my experience in discussing with them, believe that mind is totally a material thing, "spatial" and...
By "live" I assume that you mean on a constant basis, persistently. (Otherwise, it's not a big deal, right?)l We all live in doubt, about certain thin...
An act as the above will certaily appear as one of charity. What we have to evaluate is not the act itself --which is easy, it it's a good by itself, ...
Logic --actually the human beings using it-- basically does exactly that! Logic, combined with data (evidence) and experiment is how science comes up ...
