Sorry, no owls are available at the present time. But we do have a special offer, if you're interested. For only $5, Amy Schumer will sit on your face...

That might have something to do with much of it being fiction. But it's far from rubbish, as a whole, in my opinion, as well as that of many, many oth...

@"Agustino", a little birdie tells me you have a gripe with a lack of seriousness. Anything I can do to help with that? :snicker:

Found it too boring, repetitive and trivial to get past The Book of Genesis. Genuinely tried. There are good parts, no doubt. But from start to finish...

I agree with the point that the only relation that a non-linguistic animal could have with a proposition is one that we make, but that doesn't seem to...

Cuckoo. :eyes: That's like saying "no juicer, no fruit". A juicer is a tool that is used to express fruit juice, just as language is a tool that is us...

You didn't get the clue? Our use in language is an expression which represents the referent, which, for sake of argument, we can assume is a concept o...

I suspect you have some idea as to what that might be. That's as absurd as saying that our concepts are all there is to talk. These are two distinct, ...

I'm not convinced, and neither should you be. However believable such an account might appear, to believe it would obviously be self-defeating. That o...

You could pick the normative ethics of any philosopher as an example. Whether Kant was right, for example. It makes sense to have a difference of opin...

That's not surprising coming from a fanboy. :wink: But that is, and can only ever be, opinion, and one with which I disagree. It remains an open quest...
