I didn’t say that you ignore that we are subjects, nor that you ignore the existence of our subjectivity. I said that what your wrote ignores our invo...
Yes, I read your words and I was wondering: why are they irrelevant? The reason you gave doesn?t explain why I should trust your idea of reality. It l...
I don't think it is humanly possible to say something like this. In order to say anything we need to use our brain. It wouldn't have been possible to ...
I agree. The problem, in my opinion, is that the shared and the non shared part do not just coexist, but they conflict, clash, question each other all...
Yes, definitely. I wouldn’t say that objectivity is a contradiction inside subjectivity, because subjectivity has not contradictions, not because it i...
I’m going to try it, although this very attempt is like a bizarre contradiction against what I have wrote in this thread. However, I will try all the ...
My intention was to explain that we become objects not only as objects of understanding, but also as enquirers, questioners. When I make a question, a...
I agree. I think that objectivity is unavoidable and necessary. For that reason I think that the ideal is not trying to be as subjective as possible, ...
I agree. In this context I think that what I have said is consistent, because I have not said "there is a contradiction and there is not a contradicti...
You are right, but I think that philosophy can deal with topics beyond the limits of logic. For example, are suffering, injustice just logical things?...
I agree, but this would reduce the topic just into a sociological frame. I (like to) think that what I am talking about has a wider and a more radical...
I think it is good to clarify that the main perspective of what I wanted to express, since I opened this thread, is a subejctive one. This means that,...
I think that contradiction exists from the point of view of subjectivity, which in my case is my personal point of view. Objectivity eliminates every ...
I agree, but I think this happens because the moment we discuss subjectivity, since we automatically put it into words, into the frame of language, th...
I am aware that there are so many topics involved in the discussion I have opened. I am going to better explain my personal idea about the reason why ...
In my opinion the concept of “understanding” is not a good friend of subjectivity and spirituality, because it is based on analysis. I think that spir...
I think that such a discussion is at high risk of betraying its topic since the very beginning, the same way it is betrayed in most discussions and ev...
Perhaps it’s good to consider that, for example, what I am writing now, while writing this post, is just the “outcome”, “what comes out”, “the externa...
Of course they do, but isn’t this concern already just another way of deflecting towards this so strongly need of understanding and building strong an...
Perhaps this point that you have expressed is not so neutral, so innocent, so positive. I have perceived several times, in philosophical discussions h...
The opposite aspect could be worth positive consideration: fortunately wrong reading is unavoidable, so that life and creativity is possible. I am awa...
I think that the origin of the problem is not the contradictions, but the concept of ethics. The world, existence, everything is contradictory. We try...
I think that this discussion swings continuously between a human, experiential perspective on silence, and another perspective that tries to be as obj...
This sounds to me like deconstruction. Deconstruction is a good thing, but it seems to me that it leaves us without any positive suggestions. It decon...
I think that a reason cannot be found and we even shouldn't look for it. Since this topic is all about the purest roots of subjectivity, it would be l...
I think you are in the perfect context by connecting what I said with Kierkegaard and Nagel. Thank you for these references. But it seems to me that b...
Can you please explain better how "both consider uniqueness as possibly irremediably subjective"? it souds very close to my idea, but at the same time...
I think that mysticism in inherently radical because I conceive mysticism as a spiritual experience that connects with its content with an intimacy, d...
That’s why I said that mysticism today is difficult, but not impossible. I agree with you, but I think that what you said represents some kind of theo...
I think that today genuine mysticism is more difficult than in the past, because it cannot escape the challenges coming from radical criticism about o...
I think that there is a risk in every attempt to describe the self: turning the description into a rule. This creates the premises for racism, violenc...
I think that, by referring to usefulness and interest, you have touched an important point. I think that an essential reason why philosophy today is i...
I think that my perception of the situation of consciousness can be compared to a house inhabited by ghosts. Science can see the house and it says “He...
I think that oranges are different from consciousness, with reference to this discussion. I think that oranges are not very subjective. That's why sci...
I didn't mean that real things are different from the study of them. Of course everyone knows that studying an orange is not an orange. What I meant i...
Essentially I agree: I think that it impossible to get rid completely of objectivism, both in our language and in our ideas. But this doesn't mean to ...
Emily Dickinson is provocative, critical, rebellious, of course, and I appreciate this. I agree that the very act of doing philosophical research abou...
From a humorous point of view, I find this topic very similar to this one, that is about knowledge rather than language. In both cases, a thought come...
Epistemology includes criticism about the limits of our scientific knowledge and it warns us against the idea that we can get ultimately objective kno...
Actually, from what I said, we can deduce that nothing can be expressed by language. When I say "your subjectivity", I guess and hope that you will be...
I think that the idea that, by definition, you cannot express by language, is your subjectivity. When we express things by language, we objectify them...
The example of Daniel Dennett shows that we don't need to be believers to be human. It's the same debate when atheists show that they are able to have...
Thank you very much for this information. I think that the attempt of these scientists is remarkable, especially because they compromise their serious...
This is like the joke of those who lost their keys in a dark place, but decided to look for them in another place, because in the other place the was ...
You have already mentioned what we can never find out: what is the physical universe? Whatever you answer will just move the question to the concepts ...
Metaphysics in philosophy is not when you refer to some other world; you can be fully metaphysical even without any reference to any other world. Ther...
