This would delve deeply into private language use which has nothing to do with the creation of innovative ideas. Just because an idea is presented in ...
Thanks for the answers so far they’re good ones, and welcome to the forum Julian. It appears to me then as Vera Mont stated that time is a concept and...
A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world - Louis Pasteur You might find this very useful and it has links at the bott...
Another question one could ask is whether metaphysics is necessary at all and if so why ? I would answer in the positive for the reasons that it’s the...
Without having to dig for quotes do most secular/atheist scientists claim that science can offer explanations regarding various phenomena that were pr...
Nothing gives you nothing so I don’t see how your universe could start with nothing. However if you posit that something has ALWAYS existed then somet...
Just addressing your claim that 0th order time brings about first order time is that what you’re saying? And I stated that time cannot effect change a...
Yet you have failed to distinguish the difference between these two orders of time 0th & 1. You also claim in a previous post that 0order time brings ...
Just because you have a placeholder for 0 (nothing) does not mean that nothing exists, it’s just a placeholder. That’s like saying adding 0 to 1 makes...
Well whatever it is it’s not time, how could it be ? Please explain the mechanism of how time would be able to do so. I’m not denying the reality of t...
Meaning would then be a subjective enterprise for each individual whether that is to make one’s life comfortable or to remove barriers that make it un...
Things move because they’re set in motion by something else which is in turn set in motion by something else etc. you’re positing that 0th time whatev...
Reality exists even when I stop thinking about it and yes thoughts exist otherwise we wouldn’t be having this discussion we’re both engaged in thinkin...
If there was nothingness you are saying time would still exist and because time does exist even if there was nothing it would have an effect on non-ex...
But reality exists independently of my thoughts. Thoughts are very different to reality and sometimes they don’t correspond to it as they relate to pr...
I think the question you are asking is about being an independent thinker rather than group think but even an independent thinker would need some sort...
It’s not a problem because our sense of touch is still able to feel the solidity of everyday objects. Solidity after all is just a type of highly dens...
Don’t psychotherapists just sit there and listen? If anything can be automated psychotherapy is the easiest one of all as all they do is ask you “and ...
I agree with that and if nihilists ever lacked meaning then they should create one but that’s asking too much of them. But if we take meaning to be th...
How does existence precede reality instead of say vice versa. Reality precedes existence has an equal claim to being true to what you’re claiming. Why...
Things that cannot be seen are real too. Where I am it’s night that does not mean the sun does not exist. How do you account for these things which ar...
It seems the word real has many meanings depending on which subset of philosophy you wish to answer it from. The empirical or the speculative metaphys...
If someone who is not well acquainted with the English language was to ask what does cat mean you would have an easier time explaining it to them then...
It’s debatable if time really exists fundamentally as it’s very different to the types of measurements of length, height and width. Time only occurs i...
Is there a difference between ordinary communication and art ? By some criteria a well articulated piece of writing done so with flare can be artistic...
Meaning signifies word usage in context but it’s also a referent or descriptor of abstract objects/ideas or real things. Words can also be used to ins...
Art is a creative process but sometimes it’s a destructive one too. Destructive in terms of destroying our deepest held convictions about the world an...
Whilst aesthetics is an important part of art it’s not the be all end end all of art because as long as art is able to meaningfully communicate some a...
Could a comparison then be drawn with production line of other products such as cars, electronics, fashion where automation has taken over…why should ...
I was under impression that metaphysics has remained unchanged since the days of Aristotle whose work did not really gain traction until the age of Re...
Pop art has been around for ages now, but that does not negate its value - if it can alter the perspective to the viewer then it’s been successful in ...
I think special effects such as CGI have to be combined with compelling story telling otherwise it’s just unsatisfactory eye candy which after novelty...
Yes I agree with you, metaphysics in its nature is not always concerned with producing knowledge but it’s more of a method of thinking and reasoning ....
True, but that’s like saying differentiation between say land and water. Water can give you pleasure if you’re by the beach enjoying a nice swim to co...
The scientific method allows for scepticism whereas religion does not, to that effect they’re incompatible. Science can also be called into question w...
There’s more to metaphysics than just imagination it also includes reasoning not based upon experience but using deduction thereof such as found in ma...
I think it’s the nature of public service workers to be somewhat complacent or lazy when it comes to work ethic, not bound for any need for profit thi...
Art itself sometimes is the method to produce it rather than the end result itself. I looked at the first link you posted where it shows the recent cr...
Not necessarily moot or any question, because knowledge is often open to doubt or not available to the subject and though knowledge might be available...
What other beings could there be apart from organic beings ? We as organic beings can closely probe into the micro/macro structure of most objects and...
Would you go as far as saying reality is independent of the observer ? Relying not on sense data but as things are. The reason I mention this is becau...
Agreed, and consisting of facts. For example currently I’m looking at my curtains, this although a personal experience does not detract from the reali...
