"Shared subjectivity" (quoted) gets 9,300 results in Google. "Shared reality" (quoted) 317,000. :strong: :smile: I didn't say that "shared subjectivit...
You mean, when you are conscious, you are conscious indeed. But how do you know that you are not dreaming or hallucinating? You may be dreaming or hal...
I assume that this applied at the exact moment you were composing this topic. Because you cannot say "I am conscious" in general, i.e. with no time re...
Normally, this is true. But there may be cases that a proposition is ambiguous, or incomplete in some way, as I explained. So in these cases --and in ...
Interesting topic. There's no single thing that can be called "truth". There are different kinds of "truths" depending on what you are examining and f...
From Dictionary.com we read about the meaning of the term "proposition" in specialized fields, that are included in philosophy: Rhetoric: A statement ...
A proposition is something that is suggested to be considered, accepted or done. It clearly refers to the future. A fact on the other hand refers to s...
A fact cannot be moral or immoral. Not for the reasons you are stating but by definition. A fact is something known to exist or having occured. It may...
Nice! And you used the right word: "motivated". It's the key to all knowlegdge and excellence. This is very evident in school, where the majority of s...
... And after about 10 years one would be able to say, "Well, I know a little what philosophy is about." I started really learning philosophy in colle...
OK. (BTW, AI is very well defined. It's not an abstact idea. It's a concrete, scientific term. I told you to get acquainted with it, but ... who does?...
If you cannot define what "base reality" is, how can you witness it? :smile: It's like saying "I cannot know or feel how it is being in love, whatever...
I couldn't find what "compu-dasein" is. So I guess its a kind of term of yours, a combiination of a computer/computing and "dasein", the German term -...
Of coure, since "free will" is a philosophical concept and subject. Natural science and any other phyiscal science have nothing to do with it. (Even i...
Free will (freedom of choice and action) is not a biological manifestation. It is produced by and does not reside in cells. It is not something physic...
AI's purpose is to provide as much information as possible and solve problems. ChatGPT itself says that its purpose is "to help and be informative". B...
Only the element and story of the anthropomorphic creator is enough for a rational and honest being to reject it. Of course, this normally doesn't hap...
As long as dogmatisim or even biases caracterize a discussion, "umbrella" or any other terms become automatically "unfit for philsophical examination"...
As I see, you refuse to look up the terms. Well, you are not alone. You, along with all the others who hate or avoid to look up and/or examine closely...
Imagining, remembering, speculating, inferring, etc., are indeed thinking. Perceiving is a total different thing. It involves our senses and is a most...
I started to watch the video and will continue later. That's quite impressive from a psychiatrist. I mean I could expect it from a psychoanalyst ... B...
All this is quite interesting. Although I don't think the OP is talking about these exreme cases ... Anyway, it's always good to know. Thanks for the ...
Interesting. From what I know, psychology does not believe in soul or spirit or anything that is non-physical. It only believes in brain. Certainly, t...
At the time I was studying various philosophers --quite far in the past-- Berkeley appeared to me as quite an obscure philosopher and he remains so. J...
Emerging from what exactly? What could be something on which both an objective and a subjective process can be applied? You offer "truth" as a prime e...
I don't know about "magic", but I can see "chaos" in your post! :smile: Scattered ideas here and there, with no purpose seen in the horizon ... Sorry ...
The article says "It is desirable that the discussion has as many participants as possible", not everyone. That would be impossible, anyway. Then is a...
They might be. I'm not willing to analyze this. As I just said to Fooloso4, these are suggestions, ideas, criteria regarding a good discussion. Each p...
This may be true, but it is about guidelines as you yourself say. The post though was an article and not guidlenes, for which BTW only the TPF adminis...
Well, I must not complain. Yesterday I received an acknowledgement from T Clark. (But only after you have rocked the boat! :smile:) As I realized yest...
Hi! Javi! Well come back! Thanks for your (single) response to my article. Thanks a lot, Javi! I believe too it is good, but I see it more as a useful...
A devout Chistian is not necessatily a fanatic, a zealously religious or someone who cannot think rationally, but instead he (for brevity) believes bl...
Do you mean, it is used to dissuade them from believing in God? Do you think that such a shallow --as I have expalined-- construct would succeed in th...
