:up: What does this mean?

Yes. Even boy scouts are indirect realists. Sad, isn't it?

I'm not sure you're getting the distinction between direct and indirect realism. Or maybe I'm not. With direct realism, there are no representations. ...

Ok, but just consider indirect realism for a moment. The idea is that the world around you is a product of your bodily apparatus. The world you take t...

The guy on the left is an image of direct realism. He doesn't get a cloud. He just directly sees the tree. But your comment does say something about t...

Direct realism: https://philosophyalevel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/direct-realism-1-768x321.jpg

How's this? All the images of indirect realism have a little cloud like that. https://philosophyalevel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/indirect-realism...

That's the representation cloud isn't it? Wait. Do we need a different picture?

But nobody believes him. It's so stressful.

That story is horrifying.

I don't think that coronavirus cares about strong immune systems. Sometimes a person can have some weird genetic thing that makes them immune to certa...

Maybe you could present one tiny morsel so we can bring the whole weight of human knowledge since the stone age down on that sucker. Like finding the ...

Uh. Ok. I still doubt there's going to be much death or destruction. Not much more than we Americans usually do. You can put your horn hat on and ride...

Didn't see anything that inspired me to comment. Thanks.

I'll have to ponder that for a while

He's saying that Christianity and science rise and fall together because they have the same basic attitude to truth. It's a fascinating idea. :cheer: ...

So to clarify, you had not read this particular work by Nietzsche. I think it's pretty important to take his views about truth into consideration whil...

Are you saying that anti-immigration sentiment isn't just about racism? That it's also about this tool capitalists use to undermine the power of labor...

I wish they wouldn't put "bank" and "run" in the same sentence:. WSJ

It was along these lines from On Truth and Lies in the Nonmoral Sense: "The various languages placed side by side show that with words it is never a q...

I'm breaking a superstition to say this, but I've never had COVID-19. I've been up to my eyeballs in it, but somehow never contracted it. Most people ...

Is this related to climate change?

:joke:

That's awesome.

Christianity is about a revolution in values. It's about redemption and forgiveness.

Don't have to. If you can see the number line, you're already above it. I mentioned this earlier, but my keen insight was ignored. :cry:

Morality usually appears to be the former. Morality is about what our values should be. Slavery is immoral whether it's conventional or not (obviously...

So your turn. What's Nietzsche's theory of truth? I have to say, I think it's sad that when asked on a philosophy forum what Nietzsche's eternal retur...

How do you move up?

Cool. So I guess you were asking of Nietzsche's theory of truth undermines itself. Nietzsche is on Wittgenstein's ladder and I think he was aware of t...

I guess my question would be: do you actually want to discuss this with me? Or did you just want to present your view and be done with it? I'm happy e...

Sure. I'm waiting for a GSW (gun shot wound) to the chest, so I'll make it short. He believed that truths are metaphors. Think about what that implies...

Cool. Immersed as you have been in Nietzsche, how would you describe his attitude to truth?

I think the best plan would be for me to keep my comments to myself.

Understanding Nietzsche's view of truth is fundamental to understanding him in general. I think you'll be very gratified if you look into it. Really.

I think Nietzsche's view of truth is fundamental to understanding him. It's best taken him from the horse's mouth rather than a snippet from someone w...

I guess they could march around somewhere. I wouldn't expect a lot of death and destruction.

Wow, you really misread that. Digging in to discover Nietzsche's theory of truth was fascinating for me.

Sounds like you have fun with Nietzsche ahead of you. :grin:

Seen in the light of his ideas about the nature of truth, it seems unlikely.

Trump has warned of "death and destruction" if he is arrested. I think he has control of an asteroid and is able to direct it towards the earth. :grim...

For me, Nietzsche and Kierkegaard go hand in hand, explaining one another. The eternal return is related, but not identical to Kierkegaard's repetitio...

Money does require grounding in the form of a powerful state or a stable bank, both of which stand apart from the general population, much as a God st...

Price reflects the relationship between supply and demand. Demand will be there whether we arrive at a price or give it away. I think demand is fundam...

It could be that to the extent we value rightly, we're in tune with the Mind of God. But coincidentally, all the little parts of your body act like th...

I agree. I was reading the OP as having to do with choice. I may have misunderstood.

You're saying that since the value of shelter isn't a part of the shelter, but rather an aspect of our relationship to it, value is dependent on us. T...

You're saying we do have a choice in whether we value necessities because we choose to value our own lives. I'll buy that. It's all psychological. At ...

The counter argument would be that money doesn't have value, strictly speaking. It represents value in a standardized way. Without a functional econom...

Where's that? Near Strawberry Fields?
