Aristo-Thomism is the predominant view for roman catholicism; so at a minimum you are saying the latin, Dominican scholastics is ratshit. Nothing you ...
CC: @"Philosophim" Banno, your comments are just getting mean and are not helping further the discussion. I am continually making an effort to further...
No. I have no clue what you specifically believe sex and gender are. Banno, my dear friend, you didn’t answer my question. I want to know what you mea...
I apologize if I've offended you; but what I was meaning by 'no one contended with the OP' was that no one attempted to dive into my gender theory. Al...
I apologize if I misunderstood, but you have to be able to appreciate from my perspective why that still reads as you being messaged about it. People ...
I agree with you that it is important to begin with an exposition of the fundamental concepts at play; but I would say that this is best exemplified b...
This is just false: @"Jamal" told me that they were alerted to this from at least two people and the implication obviously was that it was not like th...
With all due respect, you didn’t address the OP in any substantial sense. Here’s the comment you are referring to: https://thephilosophyforum.com/disc...
A defect is a privation of the full nature that a being has. A homosexual and heterosexual, e.g., male both have the same, full nature of maleness (wh...
My problem with this is that I don't think, e.g., Nietzsche is validly critiquing Christianity by giving a psychoanalytic of the development of humani...
Now you are claiming that a unsubstantive claim is one that is contained, deductively, in the definition of something; and this kind of claim is not b...
The OP isn't about drag shows and that only came up because people were derailing the conversation to try yo get me to say something that is homophobi...
Yes, I am also responsible for allowing an evil to happen; but what I am saying is it is permissible under certain conditions. It is permissible, like...
I responded to this: With: You responded with: I responded with: To which you killed the conversation with: I tried to reformulate it to your schema t...
You quoted us as if we are the same person. I didn't say it was a substantive post, and I am pretty sure Leontiskos was being sarcastic (although I co...
To be fair, I do think you tried in good faith to contend with my view a little bit there; but then it stopped for some reason. I don't think it is un...
Oh, then maybe I misunderstood @"Jamal"; or perhaps I misunderstood the term. I thought they were giving an psychological account of why I am coming u...
Fair enough, and I appreciate that Moliere :heart: I hope we can have a fruitful dialogue. I think we need to start with what each other means by 'sex...
Even if hedonism is true—viz., a person’s hedonic happiness is all that matters—it does not follow that homosexuality as a sexual orientation is not a...
Sorry, I am queued up with all the responses. I thought I already answered this; but to answer: it is immoral. Again, directly intentionally killing a...
Do you think an eristic is a legitimate way to discover truth? I don't see how that isn't just an attempted psychoanalysis of the one forwarding the a...
The vast majority of the people responding to me have been trying to get the thread censored. Some reported it to the moderators to get removed; some ...
I didn't make any argument like that. I am not sure where you got this from: many people, including myself, have outlined clearly what you said and wh...
By determining if it is in accord or disaccord with the nature of the being in question. It is contrary to the nature of a lion for it eat plants; it ...
@"hypericin", I find that you are digging in ten toes deep on a hill that no one wants you to die on. Your justification for my views on transgenderis...
Jamal, I truly appreciate you engaging with the topic; albeit incredibly mediated from the OP. I genuinely hope that we can have a productive and resp...
To be honest, this thread is revealing itself as liberals being incapable of discussing an alternative gender theory. Virtually no one has even quoted...
I just meant natural in the sense that it is something in accord with the substantial form of the being in question. I am thinking of natural law theo...
It is not shocking at all: that is a privation of their nature (usually of no fault of their own). It’s called asexuality. Assuming it were a part of ...
Banno, why do you straw man me? You are obviously a very intelligent person; and I think you are being uncharitable in our discussions. I want us to h...
To find common ground, we would need to discuss nominalism vs. essence realism. This is the basis for the gender theory I gave. You can be loving and ...
If you believe this, then, yes, there would be no such thing as sexual degeneracy or degeneracy of any kind. There would be no such thing as a man, wo...
My friend, I never denied this. In fact, I explicitly stated I am a moral naturalist. I will take a look when I have time; but, again, just citing a s...
I didn’t say that they should be equivocated: it was an analogy meant to elucidate the fact that believing there is something bad (or even wrong) with...
My friend, it isn’t a stone throw away; and this is why this is really just a straw man to justify one’s own ideas without contending with their oppos...
No I wouldn't. No one uses the term 'natural' to refer to every act of any organism. That would collapse the distinction, in that context of its usage...
You stated: I responded by pointing out that this line of thinking would entail that every classification of a mental illness is bigoted: Which you no...
My friend, you have to appreciate that Hume’s Law is not a law of logic. If not, then please give me the logical theory in which it is derivable from ...
Hypericin, my friend, if that is true, then the acknowledgement of any mental illness is bigotry; for every recognition of a mental illness in princip...
I didn’t reject a law of classical logic...unless you are suggesting that everyone needs to accept every theory of logic available—including paraconsi...
At any cost? With any means? That’s a good question. I would say that it would be indirectly intentional because their death would be a (bad) side eff...
