The most difficult part is not what you listed. It's that to accept the current world is no more than an illusion, or our daily knowledge delusional e...

you just replaced the word "harm" with "suffer" with no further extent I'd assume. So the point stays but I don't think there's enough interests in th...
August 23, 2019 at 06:25
we are talking on the ground of "meaning", otherwise nothing makes sense and I should withdraw. The whole point is harm is only subjective to a partic...
August 23, 2019 at 04:57
@schopenhauer1 , let's clarify which of the below cases are covered by your word "MUST": 1. a child must do homeworks under his mom's push 2. a thief ...
August 23, 2019 at 04:40
Yes, I concur. But if this is true, then objectivity is just another form of subjectivity, is it not? Objectivity is most popular in the science commu...
August 22, 2019 at 07:33
my question may due to not getting what you wanted to say: how about the case "I choose not to eat this food"? which of the 3 categories would you pla...
August 22, 2019 at 07:27
What is harm? Just an unfavorable to certain witness. If we unite all into a compound witness, it's a different scenario but to a further extent, unde...

Any coin has two sides, so golden mean is always the answer for the best, no extremes should. Lives flourish themselves so any intention to put them u...

well if all is about feeling then no debate, it's quite intrinsic one feels he has free will when say his nose is itchy and he can move his hand to ea...
August 21, 2019 at 10:06
they are also humans and the least human should have some level of philosophy I'd trust.But nowadays in the consumptionistic flow, one has less freedo...
August 19, 2019 at 04:38
Can there be the case where some well-thought scientists think certain philosophical statements make more sense than their modern science's reach, but...
August 16, 2019 at 10:27
Numbers, or any kind of symbols, were in the mind of C.S.Pierce who said some thing like this universe is full of (if not all) signs. Have you come ac...
August 16, 2019 at 10:12
I could hardly imagine how. Can you share an example?
August 16, 2019 at 09:47
in deed your above quote is from a letter of him to Williams James. The majority of his quotes are scattered over different kinds of media but I do th...
March 02, 2018 at 06:57
wow, if you happen to have a public link, kindly share. I found only this content http://www.gnusystems.ca/CSPgod.htm#aq1 ("I think we must regard Cre...
February 26, 2018 at 09:47
There are too many things going on here but I would like to start with an inquiry on the above statement: specifically is it Peircean or not? I haven'...
February 26, 2018 at 04:34
but is there any argument saying if it was there then we couldn't have missed to pick it up? Arguments stay debatable for ever. Agnosticism is right t...
January 26, 2018 at 07:14
yes, proofs of either way. It's beyond human knowledge capability for sure, specifically if we know our limits at all. I think even none of famous sci...
January 26, 2018 at 04:00
Thanks, I need to learn more to understand the extent you introduced but the reason I said so was due to my subscription to Godel's own view: So the f...
January 25, 2018 at 08:38
OK so let's forget science for a minute, though we'll soon see its role, ironically, as a hindrance to the course. "No great philosopher has espoused ...
January 25, 2018 at 04:58
still too broad. Can we pick critical philosophy as a start? Kant, say. But you wanted something scientific which needs researches. Let's pause for a ...
January 22, 2018 at 07:34
My first question is why you weigh a philosophy (Solipsism) against a branch of psychology science (Cognitive distortion)? Parts of philosophy have be...
January 22, 2018 at 05:04
why not? sounding peculiar doesn't mean refutable. In fact, it's even more consistent to treat every "what" as from the same unique ingredient which y...
January 22, 2018 at 04:26
nothing is wrong with a belief, the question is whether you are fixed or still want to explore mystical/super natural things? if all you have are defi...
January 19, 2018 at 08:05
OK then I must now accept it as rather a supernatural phenomenon than something clear cut, that serious people don't seem to have pleasures to analyze...
January 17, 2018 at 07:37
yeah, it's clearly not resolutely sorted out, such a big problem of free will - because of disagreements in experiments setup, data or conclusions...e...
January 16, 2018 at 11:12
so according to your lines, a semi awaker can perform as best as himself awken, because he is exploiting parts of what he has? Are there cases sleep w...
January 16, 2018 at 10:30
a professional article for it https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/free-will-foreknowledge/#BeyoFata
January 16, 2018 at 10:22
I never can fully understand sleep walkers phenomena. Can the set of habits and attentional capabilities be used to explain them?
January 16, 2018 at 09:26
I was simply suggesting you pick up a metaphysics with a school name you prefer to discuss such a big topic as about mind, soul...etc but it's up to y...
January 16, 2018 at 07:11
If you said it has a yard in the quantum physics ground then I would have been in agreement. With only that spot it doesn't sound the best choice to s...
January 15, 2018 at 04:34
are you assuming ample of autonomy or free will? why would you choose to go right or left in your daily routes? what would happen if you now reverse a...
January 12, 2018 at 08:48
you need to choose a ground of belief to talk about it. It's too big a question. Let's start with this point does that mean you can still stand on the...
January 12, 2018 at 08:39
must say I am in no position to criticize them. Kant was tenacious in his imperative view and there must have been his allies around so we can say a f...
January 11, 2018 at 03:36
I now see what you meant is similar to Godel's introduction passage in his 1931 paper. It's just an example he stressed the contradiction within a for...
January 09, 2018 at 09:54
OK if not, why 1. can be done? G is provable means it can be proven either true or false, how come "so G is unprovable"?
January 09, 2018 at 03:20
cool, thanks. I found the criticism with the murderer/Natzi scenario (originally by Constant?) incomplete. But ironically Kant's defense was too. Prob...
January 08, 2018 at 11:28
Are you equating "true" with "provable"?
January 08, 2018 at 08:42
I believe you have been satisfied with the reasons given so far. I read the most apparent answer is because thinkers consider it as "that whereof we c...
January 05, 2018 at 10:35
can you educate me why not for Kan'ts imperative? I love Kant by the way and would be interested in any points unmatched.
January 05, 2018 at 08:42
perfect! appears obvious but if allowed just a bit of skepticism, one could ask "what if from deep down we are not?" Anyway we can't deny that but I a...
January 04, 2018 at 03:29
Well said. Do we know all our wanted or all we would and should want? And for what?
January 03, 2018 at 10:51
you can think so but it's still a bold statement - nothing can prove that. There is a school of thought about reductionism in modern physics as I hear...
January 03, 2018 at 10:30
They are more than suggestive. Why not conclusive? what's the sufficiency criteria to be? One single undeniable evidence should be enough to be counte...
January 03, 2018 at 10:12
I would concur it's not called evidence which should be readily available to be examined formally. Rather it's just facts that you accept or deny base...
January 02, 2018 at 11:04
sounds like an offense though untargeted. Do you think any where else especially forums there aren't pros and cons?
January 02, 2018 at 10:23
Better place this question in a trading forum, wouldn't you think more professional advises or lures there?
January 02, 2018 at 10:15
Let's get it straight. Are you interested in Bitcoin or in Blockchain? they are related but not the same thing. Blockchain is merely a new technology ...
December 26, 2017 at 08:32
thanks it will take me a good time to read the article as I am not good at time management. I meant including maths are empirical because if the plain...
December 20, 2017 at 08:00
I'd agree quantum theory is not simple to me and I don't like it much. But while we have no strong weapons against it and its conclusions, there are o...
