You seem very confused. The "also" makes no sense whatsoever there, and your interpretation is very poor. For some weird reason, you just decided to i...
No, you simply asked for an example, without explaining yourself properly, and now you're doing your usual thing of blaming me instead of taking respo...
No, you're just making a very basic error in confusing facts, what is the case, with knowledge, what is known to be the case. They become known facts ...
The fallacy is about applying the wrong criteria. It's a fallacy to argue that because lots of people believe that in ancient Greece, sculptures were ...
I've seen some pretty awful proposals of what truth is. Truth as honesty? No, that's a different sense, just use the word "honesty" for that. Truth as...
This has gone from bemusing to annoying. I'm going to leave you and your silly language game be, as you aren't reasonably engaging when you say stuff ...
No, it very obviously doesn't. But you aren't good enough at logic to see that. Or, if that wasn't intended as a reply to me, then you should have bee...
Don't lie. You were standing right behind him this whole time. You've been there for weeks. I should know. I've been standing right behind you for eve...
You didn't seem very interested when I gave you my definition of "horse" and validly drew a few logical consequences. You're doing the same thing with...
Banno's sense, otherwise you're just talking past him. And he could have hardly made it any clearer. He said: "That this text is written in English is...
I think I am. The problem seems to be that you're missing the point and leading me down the garden path. I'm not sure whether this is accidental or wh...
You're blaming him for your own mistaken assumption. Next time, if you're not sure, just seek clarification. Even though it was pretty obvious. He mea...
You don't need so much text to make the simple and uninteresting point that you're now redefining "fact" as memory. It's still problematic in the bigg...
It wouldn't be the first time I've given examples of this. It's true that Spain borders France, that one plus one equals two, and that Earth orbits th...
What part of what I originally said don't you understand? I don't have any "work" to do, because I don't need to provide an actual example. A hypothet...
I favour moral relativism because I judge that to be a better position than the alternatives, but I can switch between moral relativism and a position...
You must have arse for brains, since that is not necessary. A hypothetical unconfirmed fact is sufficient, and I already gave an example of that. That...
No, I haven't contradicted myself, you're just demonstrating once again that you don't pay close enough attention to what I say. I'm not a relativist,...
It could be that they got it, but just decided not to reply. Although I think that some people around here just aren't intelligent enough to distingui...
I find that weird, because that isn't truth, that's just treating as truth something which is not truth. It's a bit like treating a phone as a thing w...
True, but it should be encouraged. We already have a topic and should stick to it. We have the ability to create separate discussions for a reason. Di...
Bare assertions about something controversial in philosophy is not an example of doing philosophy well. If you want to argue for moral objectivism, do...
It's possible that you're an abnormally intelligent octopus hidden away in a secret lab somewhere in Switzerland, but you're not. It would be silly to...
Nah, you can you google it or pick up how they should be used by paying attention to people like me. Or you can simply dismiss them as nonsense, but y...
I agree that morality is not the sort of thing that can be objective. Those who think that it is objective are moral objectivists, and I am not a mora...
They are two sets of terms with distinct meanings. Which set of terms is more appropriate to use will depend on the context. And we're supposed to be ...
Even if what's objective is also universal, that doesn't mean that they don't have distinct meanings, nor does it mean that they mean anything other t...
I think that we ought to use it with regards to what's objective, and if we interpret moral statements in that way, then they'll be false or unwarrant...
Well it doesn't. The universal would be something along the lines of that which is true in all cases or believed by all. The objective would be someth...
So either you go by an account of moral truth in accordance with moral subjectivism or you just don't want to use the term "objectively". I thought it...
No, on the contrary, I have made the point before that they're no less important if they're subjective. My problem is that you have said things that s...
You shouldn't be, because there's still a problem, even though we can agree. It would be something along the lines of a fact that doesn't depend on an...
Philosophy is whatever I say it is, and truth is whatever I say it is. And everything else is whatever I say it is. Because I'm always right. Because ...
