I will suggest Paul Hoyningen's Lectures(philosophy of science) on the Nature of Science where he explains why there isn't a specific method (set of s...

You will need to quote that part if you want me to accept your objection. If not, I can only assume you are trying to dodge a corner there. Please cop...

Have a nice day Philosopher!
March 31, 2023 at 10:57
You need to provide evidence for your accusations. Declaring them to be "propaganda" and trolling is not enough and its not civilized behavior. In one...
March 31, 2023 at 10:38
why are you condescending? You accused me for arguing in favor of Materialism and I had to inform you about my position(MN) and how it conflicts with ...

I haven't made any claims on the topic yet , so how can you say that I am right about "everything"??? I only raised some red flags on the quality of a...

There aren't any good ontological arguments. In fact all Major General Advances in Philosophy are against all idealistic principles. i.e. Naturalism (...
March 31, 2023 at 08:35
Well the Huge big grey elephant in the room is to have a "scientist" argue against an indefensible metaphysical worldview and promote another. As a Sc...

March 30, 2023 at 23:07
ok thats good to know. So your point was that consciousness is a property of particles. How can you demonstrate that? Well in science we have ways to ...
March 30, 2023 at 22:29
lol why they are magical when those properties are quantifiable. You need to do better man.... Can you offer us a method by which you can demonstrate ...
March 30, 2023 at 22:18
You literally stated that particles molecules and chemicals are conscious...that isn't magical for you? Can you explain the Ontology of Consciousness?...
March 30, 2023 at 22:14
Whether we are right or wrong is irrelevant or better...meaningless. What we should all value is whether our positions are in agreement with current a...

March 30, 2023 at 21:54
I don't really understand your question so I think an Academic Mooc on consciousness is the best way to find your answer. https://www.futurelearn.com/...
March 30, 2023 at 21:33
The study of consciousness is an Interdisciplinary case. You can observe consciousness like any other property in nature (conductivity, combustion, li...

Let me explain some basic things. Consciousness is a high level feature produced by the function of specific biological systems...so its biology. Penr...

March 30, 2023 at 09:49
We totally agree on that. After all the ideal state of a concept is an observer's creation which in practice he/she strives towards it. (truth, knowle...

Your definition is meaningful! The instrumental value (instrumentality-practical purpose) is what introduces the value of "knowledge" in a claim.
March 15, 2023 at 14:05
Knowledge is just an evaluation term we use on claims/statements. Claims that are in agreement with current facts and have an instrumental value (can ...

-I am sure it was not my fault = ). In your opinion, do you think disorder favors high entropy? Does High complexity implies high entropy?
