Angelo Cannata

It seems clear to me that we are considering here the bad side of the question. From a very radical philosophical point of view, we could even say tha...

I see your point in terms of conflict between objectivity and subjectivity. Objectivity forces us to a lot of unwanted things. Subjectivity is when we...

At least you have understood this! It seems to me that a lot of philosophers and deep thinkers have not realized this at all. I think it depends on us...

1. Get some idea about what other philosophers thought before you, throughout the history of philosophy, including the present, including living philo...

I think your thoughts are metaphysic, which is, they try to work out how thing are. I want to work on how things are perceived by us. Nothing to do wi...

I have seen in your words an attempt to show how great our inner universe (which you call the second universe) is and I appreciate this very much, bec...

I like your appreciation for what you call 'the second universe', I think it is full of potential, but the way you organize and manage this concept do...

A suicide like a kamikaze might think that he is going to get the real life, while other ones who are too scared or decide not to sacrifice their life...

I agree, and this is what makes the concept of knowledge full of problems.

I thinkn it shouldn't be difficult to imagine situations perceived this way. Do I need to make examples?

It depends how you conceive them. Anything can be considered self-destructive from perspectives that, in turn, can be considered self-destructive as w...

What criteria you think we should use to answer your question?

This is a kind of mathematical reasoning. I was talking in an existential way. Besides, with your reasoning we obtain the paradox that, if evil is nee...

Yes, don't use it with Italian people, even when you are joking. It's not like saying "you are ridiculous, you are funny"; it expresses an explicit in...

Ok, I see you are not familiar with the Italian language, maybe you just used Google translate. That's fine, I see it was not your intention.

I assume you don’t know that this Italian expression is quite offensive, in Italian it has never a friendly meaning.

What’s the problem with giving me the power of creation? Why things would have gone out of hand? Isn’t it assumed as working very well with the three ...

I am not asking God to make me as an image of him. I am asking God to make me 100% God as well. Why doesn’t he do it?

How is this supposed to answer the question “Why didn’t God make us Gods, since he has power to do it and absolutely no problem would have been raised...

What’s the problem with making us Gods? After all, at least according to the Christian doctrine, they are already three persons in the Trinity, and th...

Being unable to fathom God's wisdom is evil, so it leaves us with the same question: why doesn't he delete the evil of our inability to fathom his wil...

This changes the paradox this way: does God have the power to make an explanation of his mysteries easy to understand for us? Ultimately, the paradox ...

1) Evaluation about good and bad, worth or not worth, is a subjective matter: a calculator will never tell you that 2 is better than 3 or viceversa. T...

I don't think that power is a good way to find what we need: God has power to destroy all the evil in the world, but he doesn't do this. Society, gove...

Sorry for my bad English, perhaps I should use another word. By “jump” I mean discontinuity, point of discontinuity, the point where something ends an...

Why not? It is, of course, a very limited kind of imagination, but, about this, we have, I think, two only choices: 1) there are infinite degrees and ...

Neurons can’t be made in the lab that you can imagine, but maybe they have been already made in the lab that was able to build your brain. It is the s...

How do you know it?

Maybe they have already done this on you: you have no way to know it. Whatever you think of as evidence to deny it can be considered part of the way y...

I don't think it is such a hard job, because something like religion of philosophy, with spiritual exercises, was already practiced by the ancient Gre...

I agree that affectivity has a great importance in whatever is human. But it needs a language, we can say a language made not only by words, but made ...

I showed evidence why I see the Western concept more authentic. I would like to understand the reason that make you see the Japanese one more authenti...

I think that, in this context, the Western perception of death is more authentic, more human, because we have the objective witnessing coming from liv...

Surely not “just about systems of organizing our thinking about metaphysics”, but nonetheless it is an aspect that is needed. The only alternative for...

I agree, essentially. At this point, the problem is to find a good way as a continuation of philosophy. You said “religion”, I think that the concept ...

We cannot say what philosophy is before doing philosophy. What philosophy is is determined and evolved in the course of doing it. What the most basic ...

I would like to point out that, actually, ignoring the mythical aspects of the text, is not really respectful of science: in order to be fully scienti...

I think we need to be always careful in proclaming the end of things such as philosophy, literature, art, cinema, that I have seen proclaimed in sever...

If meaning is conventional, it means that what you wrote has a conventional, which means an agreed meaning in your perception. If you perceive that yo...

I think that religion, science and art can be fruitfully connected by the context of interpretation, or we can say hermeneutics. You can have a look a...

Actually Cratylus, after drawing further consequences from Heraclitus, forgot to draw further consequences from himself: if everything changes continu...

It’s simple: you can’t step even once because, as soon as you touch the water, one instant later it is not anymore the same you touched initially, bec...

Martin Heidegger, What is metaphysics? (1929) “First, each metaphysical question always encompasses the whole problematic of metaphysics and in fact i...

This is Descartes, “I think, then I am”. There have been other philosophers after Descartes.

Changing the meaning of words sometimes is inevitable, necessary, but it also creates a lot of difficulties. This is one reason of a lot of messages h...

I think this is contradictory. Saying “In my opinion this is universal” means “In my opinion I think that this is not just my opinion”. I understand t...

Exactly: this is the radical problem of metaphysics: it doesn’t draw the consequences of its own statements, it doesn’t follow its own methods, its ow...

This is exactly the problem of metaphysics: how can you say that something is a given, since, in order to say it, you need to use your brain?

If an object is changing, that change must be measurable, then it belongs to the realm of science. May be it is not measurable just because we have no...

Saying “change is something” is a human conceptualization, which is, metaphisics. As such, it is exposed to criticism. It is humanly impossible to gua...
