Would you say that is unique of God, or does that purpose extend to his creation, since we also have the ability to create, albeit not quite as impres...
Okay, thanks for that. "If I kill you and take your money, then that is good for me" - how exactly are you defining good? In what way is harming anoth...
I don't think it could be classified as a morally good decision as it was based on a false pretence of goodness. The criterion by which you are defini...
I think more than hearing the sound, the phenomena is more of an expectation to hear it or more a feeling that we've heard it. The large objects jumpi...
I've got to admit, Santa's been alive for a good two-hundred years, maybe more. The only sufficient explanation is that he can regenerate, so he must ...
I like your ideas. Interesting that you reached the conclusion this conundrum was in some way similar to the omnipotence/rock question, as I thought t...
I'd say the error here is that you still presuppose humans must live against nature to survive. Humans are a part of nature, not apart from it. It's t...
Time can be divided three ways, but only by the observer. Past, present and future describe different present moments to different observers, dependin...

I like this explanation. The issue is whether or not anything we perceive can be reduced to it's component parts i.e. molecules/atoms/subatomic partic...
Perception is a part of our experience. I'd define conscious perception as conscious awareness of sensory stimulation. What we 'unconsciously perceive...
Choice is at the heart of our every decision, and yet choice is governed by more than merely our free will. There are determining variables which cont...
I agree with Marchesk's response - whether or not philosophy has a practical impact on our lives, the same can be said for many fields of interest. It...
If living beings are a mishmash of particles structurally and functionally determined by genetic precursors, and different genes results in different ...
Personally I don't cling to the idea that number is 'Platonic' or even that it exists independent of mind, I'd agree with you in saying that it is a d...
I agree with your premise, it is said that you can lead a horse to water but not make it drink. Our preferences are subjective, and our choices are un...
Whether our concept of number happens to be an abstraction of mind or not, our concept is derived from the perception of our environment. Number is an...
