I would agree with that. Consciousness just means the way we interact with the environment.
May 29, 2022 at 20:20
Have you ever taken a philosophy class?
May 29, 2022 at 20:13
Sure. Or social constructivism.
May 29, 2022 at 19:50
What Hume would call convention, or custom.
May 29, 2022 at 19:46
I agree.
May 29, 2022 at 19:44
That is reasonable.
May 29, 2022 at 19:43
What is the objective world?
May 29, 2022 at 19:40
Science claims only physical particles are real. Christianity claims the spirit is real. Thus science is the outer and Christianity is the inner. A di...

"Dead" matter means it was once alive, yes?
May 29, 2022 at 19:30
I thing that is wrong or vague. That we have experience can be define as the subjective, but our experiences themselves are not merely subjective. My ...

Get lost.

I think they did. They had doctors. "Psychological and mental illnesses were viewed as the effect of nature on man and were treated like other disease...
May 29, 2022 at 19:05
I agree with that. The idea of the "hard problem" just makes a fetish out of consciousness.
May 29, 2022 at 18:32
Why did Aristotle and the ancient Greeks never talk about self-consciousness? Was there some huge leap in evolution where the brain developed self-con...
May 29, 2022 at 17:24
Yes. Notice the fruitless debate between science and religion. They need each other to protect their knowledge domains.
May 29, 2022 at 17:19
Good. I actually appreciate your contribution to this forum
May 29, 2022 at 17:11
I do not think we disagree on anything. My apology if there was offense based on my misunderstanding.
May 29, 2022 at 16:21
Misunderstanding. My mistake.
May 29, 2022 at 16:19
First person, third person. Isomorphic. Back and forth, back and forth. Each concept depends on the other.
May 29, 2022 at 15:16
Same metaphysics. Science needs to treat subjectivity as an opposite.
May 29, 2022 at 15:10
I believe you are just wrong.
May 29, 2022 at 13:17
No, in the Physics, formal cause is "eidos" or "morphe". You are wrong that it is ousia. Ousia just means being or a thing.
May 29, 2022 at 13:16
I think we ran out.
May 29, 2022 at 13:14
Sorry, I just don't know what you're talking about anymore.
May 29, 2022 at 13:13
Where I am from, using wiki to debate philosophy would get you laughed out of the room.
May 29, 2022 at 03:44
Which is what philosophy is. One choses a specific thing to discuss.
May 29, 2022 at 03:40
How do you experience another person's mental activity?
May 29, 2022 at 03:40
Ok, close down the philosophy departments!
May 29, 2022 at 01:33
In the Science of Logic he criticizes the logic of Being and Nonbeing as opposites. Thus, the negation of Being is not Nonbeing but Nothingness.
May 29, 2022 at 01:26
Which is Chalmer's point. He wants to say there is a difference between a zombie and a human with self -consciousness.
May 29, 2022 at 00:56
Ancient Greeks, like Aristotle, never discussed consciousness. He talks about thought, but makes nothing of self-consciousness. Kierkegaard said Chris...
May 28, 2022 at 21:45
Consciousness is just thought and awareness. I think it's a fake problem.
May 28, 2022 at 21:41
Yes, me too.
May 28, 2022 at 21:20
That is confusing. I would think it is the other way around.
May 28, 2022 at 20:55
Okay, that is fair.
May 28, 2022 at 20:12
The idea of post-modern is first (to my knowledge) found in Hegel. Who often talks about the next period after the modern.
May 28, 2022 at 20:08
Lyotard said that. Not sure who belongs to the postmodern school.
May 28, 2022 at 20:06
A term by Fichte, not Hegel.
May 28, 2022 at 20:05
How, exactly?
May 28, 2022 at 19:56
Can you explain this sentence a bit more?
May 28, 2022 at 19:31
I have explained this. We just don't agree.
May 28, 2022 at 19:05
I do not see how that is a meaningful concept.
May 28, 2022 at 18:43
Eventually AI will make human anatomy an evolutionary dead end.
May 28, 2022 at 17:56
I do not need to care about the question.
May 28, 2022 at 15:25
I said nothing about knowledge.
May 28, 2022 at 15:22
No. I was asked a question and answered. And cut the ad hominem stuff.
May 28, 2022 at 15:08
Proof of what we were talking about.
May 28, 2022 at 15:03
I have lived in dangerous neighborhoods in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles. Never carried a gun.
May 28, 2022 at 14:37
The Latin is wrong. By "essence" Aristotle means "form" or "shape." (eidos or morphê)
