This comes back to my point about the multiplicity of alternative metaphysics, you're both using the 'obviousness' of the fact that every single child...
I've read this thread with interest up until the last few pages where we get a lot of this type of thing.. I'm not sure how constantly restating your ...
Then how exactly do they become rich? I presume I'm not alone in thinking that it's not the little pieces of green paper that people want, or the pixe...
So do you have a banana-fudger in your tool box at home? It's a tool that I just made up a bit like a feather tied to stick and painted green. It's fo...
To your direct question first, I'm afraid the answer is no, although I realise such a fundamental shift in axiom might end this otherwise fascinating ...
The laws that protect children do not ascribe them some special degree of protection. It is illegal to assault an adult, it is illegal to become viole...
It's probably my archaic approach, but I don't seem to have made myself clear here, I'm not comparing science to skepticism, idealism, or theism as op...
It's not that will/intention is not allowed for. Personally I'm a compatibilist, so I don't actually believe in free will, but that aside, what I'm sa...
(I haven't worked out how to reply to multiple people yet) There's a few things to unpick here, but they mainly centre around the contention that; and...
I understand your position to be that those actions where there is both harm and the intention to cause harm are immoral, as I summarise in my parenth...
I don't understand how this is not consequntialist. You seem to be deriving the ethical rightness of an action from it's immediate consequences. I can...
I'm not seeing how either of these examples are not a matter of degree. Our faculties can be quite reliable, very reliable or completely unreliable, n...
I see, I had mistakenly taken your rhetorical generalisation to be an absolute judgement, and thank you for your welcoming disposition. My comment, ho...
That seems a strange view considering the large number of more or less strictly materialist philosophers. I'm not sure I can see how anyone could obje...
Why would our habit not help us anymore on such a day? The moment a heavy object turns into a flying pig we will note such a change, presume it will h...
In what way is the belief that science isn't the only way of knowing any less of a presumption. You have no proof that it isn't in the same way that r...
The issue with intention that has not been addressed is that they are constrained by their position in an infinite future. Your examples all focus sol...
There seems to be an excessively binomial use of the term 'Skepticism' here - either one is skeptical or one is not, but surely skepticism, by whateve...
Unless I have misunderstood your application of terminology, you seem to have constructed an argument in meta-ethics, but applied it in normative ethi...
