most philosophical discussions go on forever either because people don't bother to define which common usage of the word they use, or they commit an a...

Since this is a philosophical forum I am only considering the use relevant to philosophy (ontology). Fine art art appraisal or Verification Of Genuine...

IF we agree that existence has physical qualities,things that are real should share those qualities. An imagined apple , by definition, is not an exis...

-" I think this definition is a good one. It gets at some of the confusion about the reality of quantum events. What's real is what's "registered by o...

-"First up, I meant causation was a thing in a very broad sense such that qualities, ideas and states can be things too, but no matter." -Yes this is ...

. All ideas, if we want them to be useful to us, should be used in relation to human understanding and limits of investigation. If not then we are dea...

so I am not mistaken?

Well atheism on its own is just a position on a supernatural claim.But you are right Atheism is the conclusion of a long philosophical inquiry (for ce...

I am not. This is why Major Universities study Theology within the Discipline of Anthropology, as a way to study human behavior, beliefs and their imp...

changing our perspective on theology could never render it part of a true philosophical inquiry. What defines a philosophical inquire is wisdom and no...

I never made that claim. I am only pointing out that Theology can never produce meaningful philosophy.

Actually human condition is where my argument stands. A quick search of this term provides the following definition "The human condition is all of the...

Not really. I am just pointing out that evaluation and meaning are subjective when we address nature. Things just are in Nature without inherent value...

Sure. Philosophical pessimism tries to evaluate existence through our attempt to project our values and meaning on nature. So in my opinion this reque...

-"I think you have diagnosed the problem accurately. ‘Causation’ is indeed a noun, presumably because it refers to a thing of some sort." -well in the...

Of course it is a quality/ability processes have in the physical world. We can observe it, demonstrate it , predict it and quantify its parameters. bt...

First of all let me define the common usage I am using for the term quality. I quote :"a distinctive attribute or characteristic possessed by someone ...

-"Philosophical topics in theology:" -I find that to be an oxymoron. Theology isn't based on verified knowledge claims so any conclusions can never be...

Pessimism is an evaluation term on our expectations of an outcome. One can be a pessimist either due to a psychological predisposition or experience a...

I think you are over analyzing something really simple. Causality is not a force or an agent. This is a common error of idealistic thinking. The abstr...

-Well the human brain is the most complex thing we currently know in the universe. Its function "mind" should be special too...and it is.

Would you ever ask questions about QM in a Biology forum? Why asking questions about a Biological Processes on a Physics Forum? I mean why do you thin...

-"Does quantum physics say nothing is real?" -I will try to keep my post simple and short without technical terms and complex concepts. No............

I just wrote the same thing (almost), my only objection is that you don't always need an agent to govern others. You can have a system that serves tho...

everything subjective is mediated by our biochemistry either by our default setup or our "epigenetics" (environmental influences during our life).

Yes I would. An immoral act doesn't have legal implications (at least not most of the time). - ? get your poetic reference to genes but in real life t...

I am vegan for more than 12 years but I can not agree with the label "criminal" on meat eating. "Criminal" is a legal term while a moral evaluation of...

Statistical evidence showed us that we can explain Telepathy "hits" by Random Chance...same rates.

:lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl: oh boy the level in here is way to low to waste any more of my time.

I've repeated the topic over and over again. It was created by your respond to mr Hillary. Hillary idiotically enough accused science to responsible f...

If you are not willing to address the important arguments and your only goal is to make impressions...then you are done.

I guess...YOU ARE DONE on this topic too.

You won't going to answer.......aren't you? You are here to promote your ego...not to learn.
