Unfortunately, one political party--the GOP--is deliberately fomenting doubt.

Not really. Now Trump has the entire GOP behind him.

Coup attempts are usually tried a second time. The planning is taking place now.

Religion is philosophy? Do you think art is engineering?

The laws of physics is the way the old determinists understood the physical universe. People like Schrodinger said science only describes ranges of be...

Not about common ideas. Pretty straightforward. If you quote someone, cite the source.

Yes. If you quote someone, you have to cite the source. Not sure why this is such a troubling idea for some.

Yes. I never really understood the arguments around free will.

Aren't Christians homeschooling because they are very conservative and are scared of liberalism?

It is whatever you want it to be.

Does those who believe admit they know it is not true?

Bye.

So you turned this into a religion forum. Do you post on religion forums about epistemology?

I really do not care anymore.

I completely agree with your assessment.

Assange was helping the Russian government and Trump exchange information from stolen emails from Hillary Clinton and the DNC. No sympathy for the guy...

Why do people come to a philosophy forum to talk about religion?

Hard to care about the guy. He wanted to help Trump get elected.

What exactly do you object to?

Not sure what phenomenon you are referring to. Sounds like skepticism.

We don't experience matter. I do not even know what that means.

What's with all the religions threads recently?

Isn't materialism what empiricism is defined by?

Agreeing with you, that's it.

A statement of belief. Knowledge of object.

Unless you have access to a university library, philosophy journals won't let you see anything without paying for an article.

I was hoping it was Richard.

I know more about Greeks than you. But, you refuse discussion, so we are done.

Sounds good!

For example?

Yes, many analytic philosophers are doing this reading of Nietzsche as a naturalist. Similar to those doing a non-metaphysical reading of Hegel.

Goodbye.

Accurate.

Goodbye.

You are the least informed person on this forum. Always.

Sorry, not getting your point.

Monads do not affect others like efficient cause.

Because they are taught it as children.

Silly.

That said nothing. Remember, Leibniz invented the calculus. He is talking about symbolic relations.

A possible world is a logic of relations. A monad is a logic of relations. If you understand Leibniz, you know this is true.

No, direct reading of Leibniz. Maybe you don't understand.

Yes, they are. A monad has a complete logic unto itself Like no other monad. It is a universe unto itself.

Possible refers to the logic. Not all possible worlds are realized.

I see. Possible worlds preexist God's decision.

Yes, Leibniz says each monad is a universe unto itself.

9. Indeed, each Monad must be different from every other. For in nature there are never two beings which are perfectly alike and in which it is not po...

Leibniz. Monadology. Each possible world has a rule or logic.

If you quote someone then a source must be given. If you're stating your own ideas no source is needed.

Plato is exemplar. Ideas are the final reality.
