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...
October 30, 2025 at 21:09
To be clear, you are implying that traditional Christianity (viz., roman and orthodox catholicism) are ratshit.
October 30, 2025 at 21:06
Not a worry: I wish you the best!
October 30, 2025 at 21:05
If this is true, then you are denying that we can have definitions of things; which is completely different than being an essence anti-realist.
October 30, 2025 at 21:05
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...
October 30, 2025 at 20:47
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...
October 30, 2025 at 20:45
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 ...

October 30, 2025 at 20:39
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...
October 30, 2025 at 20:34
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...
October 30, 2025 at 20:07
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...
October 30, 2025 at 20:04
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...
October 30, 2025 at 20:01
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...
October 30, 2025 at 11:18
Let's just move forward. You say I am failing to recognize the difference between sex and gender: what is sex and what is gender under your view?
October 30, 2025 at 11:11
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...
October 30, 2025 at 11:09
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...
October 30, 2025 at 11:03
Yes, absolutely. Where would you like to start?
October 30, 2025 at 10:54
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...
October 30, 2025 at 10:50
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...
October 29, 2025 at 23:31
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...
October 29, 2025 at 23:14
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...
October 29, 2025 at 23:14
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...
October 29, 2025 at 23:07
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...
October 29, 2025 at 23:05
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...
October 29, 2025 at 23:02
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...
October 29, 2025 at 22:47
Definitely agree. I was genuinely interested to converse about modern gender theory contrasted to mine; and no one even attempted to do that.
October 29, 2025 at 22:44
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...
October 29, 2025 at 22:41
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 ...
October 29, 2025 at 22:39
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...
October 29, 2025 at 22:37
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 ...
October 29, 2025 at 22:34
@"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...
October 29, 2025 at 22:27
I don't see how these comments help forward the conversation.
October 29, 2025 at 22:24
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...
October 29, 2025 at 21:23
To be honest, this thread is revealing itself as liberals being incapable of discussing an alternative gender theory. Virtually no one has even quoted...
October 28, 2025 at 20:05
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...
October 28, 2025 at 20:02
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 ...
October 28, 2025 at 19:54
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...
October 28, 2025 at 19:49
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 ...
October 28, 2025 at 19:28
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...
October 28, 2025 at 19:22
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...
October 28, 2025 at 19:17
I agree.
October 28, 2025 at 19:12
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...
October 28, 2025 at 19:10
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...
October 28, 2025 at 18:51
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...
October 28, 2025 at 18:35
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...
October 28, 2025 at 18:32
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 ...
October 27, 2025 at 20:11
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...
October 27, 2025 at 00:44
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...
October 27, 2025 at 00:19
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...
