I agree with holding to the metaphor -- the hinge is easy to replace, or even switch over, but the foundations we build upon -- whether they be river-...
The part here that I'd like to better understand -- and is part of why I find Hegel frustrating -- is the "leap" from prior-to-PNC to PNC, or some var...
Ah ok in that case I'm just being a sensitive-something. In the context of him analyzing a debate: debates turn on fixed points, and foundations are b...
Eh, it doesn't look good, though I doubt that's a surprise since you're asking me :D I could say who I'd vote for, but since this is a place of truth ...
That's how I understand them: "hinges" are almost too mechanical for foundations: and in a way hinges can only be placed upon structures build on foun...
If ever you feel the inclination, I'd like to participate in a thread on these distinctions. I cannot claim that the ideas have been assimilated, and ...
I don't think either H or W are regurgitating, but that they've had an influence upon philosophical thinking to a point that anyone whose read philoso...
The way I think of "form of life" is biological -- which includes the social. So if a lion could talk then we'd understand the lion because they've de...
Sure, and same, given that our current versions of democracy don't seem to be able to address this real problem that we all face. Vance fits the form ...
I'm pretty sure that a monarchy arising out of a Trump-Vance presidency-become-king would not result in addressing climate change, or addressing probl...
I recommend it if you're in the mood for a comedy which dances across various philosophical distinctions in constructing a plot, as one does ;) It's g...
Yup. We agree there, and that's basically what I mean with the story. It's just an introduction to a thought with a funny conclusion, not an argument ...
I think this relevant due to I think in Aristotle there is a "because", but it's based upon roles -- and the only roles he considers as truly eudemon ...
I think that I'm getting along with the satire, though? Basically rationality can't just be reduced to a set of deterministic rules. Though I'll admit...
I'll admit that that's not my favorite game. And there are only so many times I can play it. Though what becomes shit was at one point food Hrm. What'...
This, though, is the stronger point. If the King is in check then the other player can swipe away the peices, but this is rude (and so it goes with th...
Me either. Though I think your insight here is worth preserving: The nuclear option -- contradiction -- is something like the fruit on the tree in par...
no worries. I'm not ready to commit to a reading group until I finish my thread on Marx, anyways. Random posts or convo is where I'm at with Sartre. I...
Yeah. I think that's true -- and his positivity is often missed because of his brutal honesty. I mean, I'm like that too :D -- I'm attracted to Sartre...
I agree. Going into a metaphilosophical tangeant: Sartre follows the virtue of honesty to self and others -- to a fault if you have any other virtue o...
Yeah, looking at OP at least, I can see how there's ambiguity there: whether material implication, or some other meaning, was meant isn't specified in...
This forum is populated by all kinds of people, yes. But I would ask you to remember that you're posting in the logic subforum, and "@"TonesInDeepFree...
Then surely the sum of any two integers is 0, and we must accept that two rules can be combined and that all can be used more than once Or we must nev...
Which antecedents? I think it's a good story to highlight how we can get into a bind about decisions if all we do is follow some rules in the mode of ...
On the Ass: I think it's a good story for introducing a problem to rationality. The "ass" can be just any decision-maker at all. It's not particular t...
Yeh, later. And I'm interested, later, in corrections -- it was a thought I had held onto and felt like I ought share. In some sense, and maybe this i...
The one bit I didn't say earlier is that Being and Nothingness is a work of ontology, but you're asking -- at least what I'd call -- a question about ...
Eh, I'd say the formal logic is built upon natural language, but we can get by with specification of meaning -- and when the OP is in the Logic sub-fo...
The obligation is disappointment, at that point I think. That is, there is a causal relationship between the obligation and feeling (presuming you wan...
All rules prior to this post are not to be followed after this post. All posts ought to follow the rule: share your favorite (philosopher, artist, foo...
I mean, that's at least step 1, yes? If you can't be polite and amiable to your fellow humans, then it's unlikely anything will come of our efforts (t...
The small disagreement I have is I'd sayis that "The paperknife" is more meaningful than "Being-in-itself", at least within my head-cannon right now (...
True. Maybe that's why it's confusing? It's an implication of two implications, and material implication is already confusing . .. lol see I confused ...
I was thinking "all of us", though understanding we could be wrong. So perhaps you understand social organisms. I don't, and so the "we" is thems who ...
I'm definitely coming at the question from the point of view of propositional logic -- something basic because it's already confusing enough as it is ...
