I thought that my previous comment could be taken as ironic. Sorry about that. Well, that was not my intention. It's just that I use to joke a lot. In...

I have already responded to some comments, saying that I will not comment back on them, since this is just a poll. I didn't expected that there would ...
September 08, 2021 at 17:08
This is what happens when you take statements from here and there at random, disconnecting them from their context. This statement refers to a pun I m...

Clever ... for a non-Greek! :smile:
September 08, 2021 at 08:41
It says that God is not interfering with human affairs. It says that God created Man and left him to chance. It says that the "humanized God" (God wit...

Maybe you don't have to. You may question instead whether an action can be actually called a suicide or not. The definition of suicide is "The action ...

This is quite interesting! You don't mean Anima Mundi logos like this one, do you? https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.E_JhgvJvwDG8A8JG30cfxgHaGy?pid=ImgDet...

Do you mean that in multiple-choice exams, for instance, you should also have an option of "No choice" for each question? :smile: (Of course, you alwa...

Right, loss normally results in grief, but not necesserily. There are cases of loss in which just realizing that you have lost everything is enough to...

I don't know what is art "in a Socratic sense" ... I only know that Socrates was crystal clear in his arguments! I was 12, I had not a clue about phil...

Sorry, I can't get this ... "the Moment" and "the result of stilling the mind" are two things of totally different kind. One refers to time and the ot...
September 07, 2021 at 08:13
Thanks for your response and sharing your views, but I won't comment on them because this is just a poll.
September 07, 2021 at 07:57
If I didn't like the "movie" of my future life or didn't find it worthwile, I most probably not choose to live that life. I would examine an alternati...
September 07, 2021 at 07:53
I would prefer to quote exactly the definition of "virtual ethics" from a standard reference, rather saying what most people consider? Because, beside...
September 06, 2021 at 17:50
Can you answer the question without bringing in God or any other external source, but by applying only reasoning? Why? Because the existence of God is...
September 06, 2021 at 16:52
I did and found them quite interesting. But as I said a little earlier, one way or the other, I m not really interested in that quote furthermore. It ...
September 06, 2021 at 16:11
No, it certainly isn't. But I am talking about speech itself, not the concept or faculty of speech. And as I see now, this is not clear from the defin...
September 06, 2021 at 16:03
Thanks for your response but I won't comment on it because this is just a poll.
September 06, 2021 at 09:51
Thanks for your response and the sharing of your position, but I won't comment on it because this is just a poll.
September 06, 2021 at 09:49
Thanks for your sharing your position and I would like to respond to it but this is just a poll.
September 06, 2021 at 09:46
Thanks for your response but I will not comment on it because this is just a poll.
September 06, 2021 at 09:39
Right, good one! :smile: OK, I see what do you mean by "all directions". Good point! Wow, very interesting position! Yes. This is much better! :smile:...
September 06, 2021 at 09:23
The term "non-existence" and the concept connected to it are quite tricky when it comes to their usage, as I will show. I believe that you should firs...
September 05, 2021 at 16:56
Hi again. I'm sorry, I had not enough time to respond to your whole comment. But here's more of me! :smile: OK, but is this actually an interpretation...
September 04, 2021 at 20:13
Well, if you don't see this, you must most probably use the word "power" with some other meaning. I'm speaking about "Political or social authority or...
September 04, 2021 at 16:44
What you are talking here is about hiding and distoring information. This is not censorship. Power is not involved here. This is happening everyday (m...

What else could it be? Definition of "speech" by Oxford LEXICO: "The expression of or the ability to express thoughts and feelings by articulate sound...
September 04, 2021 at 15:48
Again, this sounds as if political views are always censored, since you don't mention any condition, e.g. cases in which this actually happens. Then y...
September 04, 2021 at 14:49
Thank you for your reply to my comment to your to[pic, @Constance! I liked the presentation of your posistion. Very good. :up:
September 03, 2021 at 16:45
Welcome to TPF! I would like first to mention that the title-question of the topic, Is it really the case that power wants to censor dissenting views?...

You cannot compare two different religions, their teachings, their principles, etc. and "weigh" the results to establish which of them contains more w...

First of all, I have not mentioned anything about "wrong dictionary"!! But since you ask, I googled your description "Logos, (Greek: “word,” “reason,”...
September 02, 2021 at 15:18
Don't be so sure about that. The description I gave at start is taken from a standard (the biggest) dictionary of the Greek language. So, it is certai...
September 02, 2021 at 07:51
I can undestand all your doubts and questions abour the meaning and lack of foundation of this statement, which is so basic for the Jewish and Christi...
September 01, 2021 at 16:30
Nothing. You fixed it. Thank you!
August 31, 2021 at 17:20
OK, but first please handle your post https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/587299 as I requested previously. OK?
August 31, 2021 at 16:58
Hi. I have asked you to disconnect the statement "some memory seems to be stored in cells/tissues outside of the brain, in other parts of the body" fr...
August 31, 2021 at 16:55
There's a single physical world. Its perception by each person, i.e. each person's reality ("inner world", as you call it) regarding the physical worl...
August 31, 2021 at 16:30
I see. So other persons' bodies are not part of your environment, i.e. part of the physical world. They belong to some other dimension, in some other ...
August 31, 2021 at 15:41
OK, but I asked you: "But what about the other bodies that you see around?" Where do they belong?
August 31, 2021 at 14:52
Thank you for letting me criticize your statements. It's very generous of you! :grin: But I never do that, except if I have a good reason to. Not the ...
August 31, 2021 at 11:44
Well, bodies are already part of the environment, the physical world, aren't they? If so, they cannot be between something and the environment, can th...
August 31, 2021 at 11:34
OK. What kind of an opponent is that? Who is against stored memories? BTW, I already mentioned that there's a difference bwtween "memory" and "memorie...
August 31, 2021 at 11:05
What fuss? Where?
August 31, 2021 at 10:39
It seems that you insist bringing up the statement "some memory seems to be stored in cells/tissues outside of the brain, in other parts of the body" ...
August 31, 2021 at 10:19
I have not made any critique or criticized your post. I only poinpointed some conflicts. And, in fact, as questions, not even as assertions or facts. ...
August 31, 2021 at 10:03
OK. I took it as a correction of a mistaken English expression! :smile:
August 31, 2021 at 09:34
Thanks for your expressed agreement. :smile: But where is your comment about "a righthand one" addressed to? For one thing, I know I have not and coul...
