Thank you @Corvus for your repsonse. Right. Physical or metaphysical and non-physical things that have a meaning for us, we can recognize them as such...

Thank you very much for your response. This is indeed true and a few have already brought it up. And since I don't know the context, I asked if someon...

Thank you for your response. I have not read only a little about the context but I admit I have not read Wittgenstein's whole work in which this state...

@Banno, maybe you misundertood my intention on creating this topic. I din't critisize Wittgenstein. In fact I said I was surprised in reading it. Ther...

This is true. I fact, we also have to understood what exactly he meant by "limits of my language". You have brought up a lot of thoughts (which I gues...

Thank you for your response. Your thoughts make sense to me. I thought that too. That's why I believe that he most probably has refuted this statement...

I used a simple and comprehensible language and I think my desciption of the topic is very clear. A professional writer, even just someone whose mothe...

Right. In either case the person has certainly a "world" (reality). It doesn't matter if he cannot share it with others. It's maybe why Wittgenstein s...

I guess it means the richness of one's vocabulary. Also, the degree to which I can express, describe or explain somethimg in words.

Thanks you for your response. This is certainly quite an interesting. But maybe from a point of view that is not so real for most of us (in the West).

Thank you for your comment! All that is quite plausible. Indeed, we should not take the statement literally but give it some interpretation margins. Y...

Can you give me a reply to my comment at https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/574924? I am interested in your opinion. Thank you

First, I will assume that by "permissible" (too general) you mean "moral". Now, independently of whether you mean "on someone else's behalf" literally...

"Living in the moment" is not part of anything, Zen or other philosophy. It is a principle held by the various Buddhist schools (of which Zen is one) ...

Creativity and imagination are proportional to intelligence. But they are all different things. Heat and temperature are directly proportional. But th...

Topic:Is intelligence levels also levels of consciousness? BTW, shouldn't maybe the title of your topic be corrected to "Are intelligence levels also ...

OK. Thanks, @DingoJones!

OK, thanks. How then can one "upvote" a post (topic or comment)? Just upvote, w/o replying/commmenting.

Thanks.

Thanks. That's better! Now, since, as I understand, you are a moderator, how can one upvote a post (topic or comment)? I mean just upvote, w/o replyin...

Ah, finally! Thanks. So it is a "bad" thing, i.e. a report on something considered bad! I clicked on it only to see what it is and hopefully upvote yo...

Thanks. But ... Flagged for what purpose? To indicate what? Who sees the flagging and what does it mean to him/her? If, onthe other hand, is just a ki...

It is quite ironic that the words Psychology and Psychiatry are based on the ancient Greek word "psyche", which means "soul". Yet, Psychology nor Psyc...

The dawn of philosophy is much earlier than Socrates. A lot of great and well known philosophers, called "Pre-Socratic", existed before him, and their...

What does the flag icon mean and what is its purpose? I clicked it thinking I will be asked something or given some options, but nothing of all that. ...

I agree. BTW, I am new here and I wanted to "upvote" your comment, so I clicked the flag icon, thinking I would be asked something or select an option...

Exactly. Thanks for proving me right a second time. That's fine. I don't need another proof.

...

By "12", I meant intellecutal age, not physical. And in fact your expression "giving me crap" proves it. Anyway, maybe I should also mention your hypo...

...

Sure it's a waste ... But do you really think that I am going to ponder on something that a Mad Fool tells me? :)

Of course you think. But "lol"? What are you? 12?

You are right about being pragmatic. I also agree with other things you say. BTW, I have removed the rest of my comment because I consider it actually...

I am among the ones who believe that there is no objective reality. Yet, I consider myself a realist, in the sense of a person who accepts a situation...

What ?

Topic: Necessity and god I am trying to get the description of the topic clarified (for me)... 1) Is this a hypothesis or an assumption? 2) In what se...

I gave you two examples to show you that words do not determine one's experience(s). I can give you a lot more, but I don't see the point. As I can se...

Thank you, @Cheshire. I am very glad that you consider my contribution valuable! :)

Of course words enrich one's world. This is only logical. But imagine someone who is reading tons of books, he is assisted by dictionaries and has the...

Nice topic! I assume that by "apart from" you mean "independently of" and that "about an observer" you mean "depends on the observer". Right? I would ...

This sounds unfortunate. One's world (reality) consists much more than words (language). It also contains images, sounds, feelings, experiences, ... I...

How can you expect someone to read more of the topic if you start it with a whole paragraph that sounds like gibberish? This is "suicidal" (for your p...

This is true. But the main point of my reply was that all that is gibberish and pretentious.

I think I have already mentioned that humans seem to suffer more (i.e. are more aware of suffering than animals, although we can't know how much). But...

I fully agree. I would like to make this more "real" by adding that while thought has no mass or wave length, it can create wave length and affect the...

In this paragraph only I found the following rather exotic philosophical.scientific terms/concepts: pluralistic monism, quantum dynamics, superpositio...

The statement I commented on was "Mercy is a weakness not a virtue". I don't remember Nietzsche's views on morality nor do I intend to study again his...

I am not going to "state" (!) what it is. You have to get your feet wet! However, because maybe you cannot select among the million of references in t...

Of course, @Banno. In fact, I think you are quite lenient in your remark. For me, the content of this topic shows total irresponsibility --the person ...

Topic: (Close to) No one truly believes in Utilitarian ethics No one truly believes? What do you mean by "truly"? That what people believe about it is...
