That’s a big problem, though; because you are arguing that the PSR applies in degrees. If you can’t give any example of it or the reasons why you beli...
I just do it to be kind and considerate: for our discussion, it is duly noted that we do not need to do that. I will refrain (: You too! Common sense ...
This is good: you are making me think about this more. I would like to think it is Aristotelian; but let’s find out. I think I agree that Justice—like...
That’s fine, but I think it is still worth noting that the problem being addressed in the OP is due to the ambiguity in what it describes…remove that ...
Yes, and I agree. I don’t have a problem with this view, but I am surprised you don’t. This definition is also not found in the Webster dictionary, wh...
What you are. The fact and the explanation for why what factually happened happened are separate things. The proposition “You were born in 1985” is tr...
Well, I wasn’t commenting on which version, if any, of the PSR one should accept: I was noting that in the OP you referenced a plethora of facts which...
This OP seems littered with opaque concepts. Dare I say, I think you will find answers for yourself if you disambiguate your questions. If you want to...
I got those from After Virtue by MacIntyre: – (After Virtue, Ch. 17 “Justice as Virtue: Changing Conceptions”, p. 246) I find it plausible that justic...
Yes, in the most violent of displays of peace—viz., in the most radical and extreme methods of peaceful protest ever concocted. I was merely pointing ...
For our discussion, I am just focusing on one: the implausibility of the sex being an external representation of the disassociation of a mind. Don't t...
I am not saying vices are virtues; but the vast majority of the major historical progressions were so rich, rapid, and monumental because of the sheer...
I don’t see how this contradicts what I said: the bloodiest and most gruesome of human events require all those traits you mentioned within the in-gro...
Interesting: so it sounds like you are a bit of an Aristotelian too. How would you define Justice? Do you see any solution to the A and B conceptions ...
Here's what I am thinking. Justice is about, fundamentally, respecting other members of the community (or social structure in which one is a member, s...
This is an astute observation that most people don't seem to acknowledge anymore. Nietzsche pointed this out, correctly, that all good things in human...
Unfortunately, I don't see what part of my analysis is incorrect. Kastrup believes that a dissociated alter is akin to an alter in a person with a mul...
No worries at all: I don't expect you to read the entire thread (: I read that comment you linked, but I am, unfortunately, not following. How am I co...
Your response was good; and I need to think about it more and get back to you. There's two particularly challenging problems I haven't thought about m...
I am aware of Kastrup's view, but his solution seems utterly implausible to me. According to his logic, people conceiving a baby is somehow an instanc...
I would say epistemic idealism is any metaphysical theory which posits primacy to the mind insofar as how we understand reality; whereas ontological i...
I was going to ask you about your response to the decomposition problem, but, in re-reading the OP, it doesn't sound like your view is a form of ontol...
Correct; but war is the last resort. One of the central points of the OP was that it is a resort. I am merely elaborating that diplomacy and other tac...
That’s not true: there are many people on this forum that have changed my mind about things. In fact, I used to advocate for moral anti-realism on her...
Let’s parse this argument. You are saying: P1: If moral facts exist then societies could not turn to killing people indiscriminately. P2: Societies ha...
What do you think an ‘moral absolutist’ is? It didn’t in Nazi Germany; and if it weren’t for the Allies winning, then most of the world would be just ...
I am sorry Mww, I still have no clue why you believe that the will is good :sad: It seems like you are taking the position that nothing is objectively...
The moral facts. I don't know what you are looking for here. I certainly am not going to try to enumerate all the moral facts to you. The point was th...
I am not just speaking about war, but also diplomacy. I agree. I think we have a duty to help humans qua Justice. Our rational capacities mark us out,...
Because it enables us to enact what is actually good; and anyone who doesn’t want to enact what is good must be either evil, ignorant, or a lunatic. D...
You too, my friend! The key here is that you are not merely noting that there is moral disagreement: you are noting that there is no disagreement what...
I would say it is a conflation between ontology and epistemology but I realized this is just begging the question in our case; because you deny this d...
I see what you are saying, but if Aquinas is just noting that no man can punish another who is not in their jurisdiction (to do so) but that they can ...
But according to you we don’t agree that it is actually better: we just subjectively like it more, whereas the masters subjectively liked their societ...
I see. Let’s put it into a syllogism: P1: What determines what is good grounds what is good. P2: Agents determine what is good. C: Agents are the grou...
Nothing about this explained why the will is good, am I missing something? You went from the will can be good to saying it cannot be determined what m...
To whom? To the slaves? To the masters? According to you, it isn't actually wrong, e.g., to own slaves. All society is doing, is deciding that they do...
1. Then, you are a moral anti-realist; and no one should take your view seriously; because all you are saying is that what is right or wrong is stance...
According to your posts, Aquinas says: And: I am doing some interpretation work here, but here’s the two key points: 1. One cannot reprimand a person ...
Our conversation became so spectacular, that they couldn’t help themselves but join in (; I understand that you are claiming that being worthy of happ...
No I am not. Cultural relativism is a (family of) moral realist theory(ies) that posits, fundamentally, that objective goods are internal (i.e., relat...
This didn't answer my question though: under your view, how does one evaluate what is a good or bad will? And why is the will the only thing that is t...
Just look at the species. There are objectively better and worse ways for, e.g., a lion to be happy because we can observe how they are designed and r...
