Unfortunately your emojis weren't that helpful! Feel free to elaborate!
April 10, 2022 at 12:17
Its not an appeal....by default morality has an instrumental value in our society. -"I don't think they constitute any kind of proof, and actually I d...

-"You're not responding. Could be we are on different pages." -responding to what? By reading your last comment I am not so sure that we can have a me...

-I am not sure that the term "true good" or absolute moral judgments are useful in our quest for morality. We understand that moral absolutes don't ex...
April 10, 2022 at 11:31
-first of we can not prove that the universe was designed. Teleology in nature needs to be demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt , not assumed. Moralit...
April 10, 2022 at 11:21
let me define Morality and why Objective moral judgments are possible. Morality is the abstract concept that describes specific behavior capable to pr...
April 10, 2022 at 11:10
Well the lack of consensus is because every single one of the authors present a version of philosophy designed to "include" their ideologies. By refer...
April 10, 2022 at 07:05
It isn't and this is why I quoted the clarification he provided in the OP. My question was if he is arguing about object moral judgements(Situational ...
April 10, 2022 at 06:46
I think I found the issue. What do you think philosophy is? btw I didn't say science isn't full with meaning and value....science doesn't include mean...
April 09, 2022 at 22:09
-To be accurate science didn't evolved in philosophical frameworks. Science was philosophy with bad empirical methods. As our methods advanced Natural...

-You can never say that an objective set of observations can or cant mirror nature accurately! You are using an argument from ignorance fallacy as an ...
April 09, 2022 at 21:34
- I can see why you have an issue with that statement, since I didn't provide any clarification. By Naturalistic Principles I am referring to Methodol...
April 09, 2022 at 20:01
First of all the OP clarifies that refers to objective moral judgments not Absolute morality. (I quote " On a given subject, is one particular moral v...
April 09, 2022 at 16:25
So what you really ask, and correct me if I am wrong, is whether we can make Objective moral judgments.....because the title of the thread is a bit va...
April 09, 2022 at 16:03
IMHO your disagreement is not sufficiently informed. First of all not all speculations are Philosophical We are only referring to structured hypotheti...
April 09, 2022 at 09:47
You are correct some to the classical philosophical questions are unanswerable for many reasons. First of all since Philosophy deals with value and me...
April 08, 2022 at 12:17
-No you are confusing Philosophy of science(the study of how the methods of systematized epistemology work and the quality of the end product), with t...
April 08, 2022 at 11:15
So the claim is "this house is haunted". If we were to test this statement scientifcially we would identify the Null(0)default position, which is "thi...
April 08, 2022 at 10:28
Why are you returning to this attempt to limit the applicability of a universal logical rule? Did I send you a video that explains the Logical princip...
April 08, 2022 at 10:10
Science doesn't take anything from granted. Indeed those are philosophical question on the ontology of a phenomenon, but not all of them are metaphysi...
April 08, 2022 at 09:17
-Not really, you are good. My approach on the topic of Science,Philosophy, bad science bad philosophy and Magic/religion is mainly through Moocs. I mu...
April 08, 2022 at 09:00
-I cannot really accept that because I know all the "holes" in my knowledge, especially in philosophical chronicling. To be honest my field of interes...
April 08, 2022 at 08:32
-You just did by pointing out that we should accept as a legit philosophical statement that QM and Information theory point to "the mind-of-the-observ...
April 08, 2022 at 08:21
- First of all "Empirical Science" isn't a philosophical caprice but a Pragmatic Necessity and no "crawling out" is talking place. Science is based on...
April 08, 2022 at 07:50
btw Ultimate truth has nothing to do with my objection or your example. The goal of the example is to point out how rational or irrational a belief is...
April 08, 2022 at 07:29
Remember the Null Hypothesis and the "statistical significance"? "there is a house" is a pretty common statement. I can accept that since I know as an...
April 08, 2022 at 07:26
Both science and philosophy try to explain the "mysteries" of our world through the use of theoretical frameworks. Anything we don't know qualifies as...
April 07, 2022 at 20:14
stop talking about yourself...and make some proper arguments! Why are you a science denier?
April 07, 2022 at 15:18
-so how do you live with yourself???? Again, educate yourself! Objectivity is not dismissed just because you come up with some outdated critique of th...
April 07, 2022 at 15:10
what work have you read of Hoyningen and Hakob Barseghyan
April 07, 2022 at 14:56
I will reestablish radio silence on chronicling and enjoy your ignorance on what Science is...

April 07, 2022 at 14:45
-Well to answer that you will need to define what you mean by that term. Now the author -"Does our soul come from an eternal source of power such as "...

maybe you are replying to the wrong member...
April 07, 2022 at 12:51
assuming what you need to prove is not reasonable and it isn't what philosophy is about. "NOT even Wrong" arguments are not enough to demonstrate the ...
April 07, 2022 at 12:04
well if your argument is that through logic you can prove the existence of "originals" in the world..then it doesn't take special mental skills or har...

-"dude take care of that back...all this dodging might cause some issues..." -I don't care about what on can do through logic. This is not how we veri...
April 07, 2022 at 10:56
you are derailing it. I only pointing out the obvious. There aren't any epistemic foundations for the concept of gods...so not only there aren't any s...
April 07, 2022 at 10:20
So it is obvious that you don't have an answer to this simple question. I won't address any other of your comments until you display basic honesty and...
April 07, 2022 at 10:11
I am not sure you are capable of that...after all you are whining on what you think my motivations are....you don't address the issues in hand.
April 07, 2022 at 10:08
-I think you are an excellent example for my arguments! I hope Agent Smith can observe this interaction and see how huge of a problem epistemic discon...
April 07, 2022 at 10:07
maybe an other question... what makes a claim wise...in your opinion?
April 07, 2022 at 10:03
dude take care of that back...all this dodging might cause some issues... Ok we know that you will defend your magical ideology to the end even if it ...
April 07, 2022 at 10:02
Again.pls explain why we should accept a claim as wise when it doesn't have epistemic support....what is your criterion and method of evaluation. Your...
April 07, 2022 at 09:59
ok now we know that you are also unable to distinguish wisdom from knowledge...... Do you really thing that equating different concepts is your "out o...
April 07, 2022 at 09:58
I am not interested in your excuses. I am pointing the issue in claims that are epistemically disconnected....they are not philosophical.
