Something I have wondered recently about what Wittgenstein calls "forms of life" is whether this is the limit of language to function. Isn't technolog...
What I say about use I can say a fortiori about the organic ends of the organism. At this point the power of language extends beyond the organism and ...
I would say that at the level of the signifier there is an inability of use to master language and signification. For example, supposing that two cult...
And I agree with that. But I consider that pain must be seen as part of a significant whole. In this sense pain is not only the sensation but the memo...
Hello. In my opinion any idea of minimal blocks of the universe to be valid or true must specify what those blocks are and carry out an effective reco...
The reason of why I identify the ego with the self is because the common core of both notions is unity in identity as self-relation excluding alterity...
Hi, In my point of view the suffering of other people is given to us (as a possibility) through a process of alterity that affects the self. This proc...
I claim that there is indeed a process of interpretation. As I said, suffering does not occur in the absolute singularity that you claim. And this is ...
"We use language to talk about language". In this sense, language becomes the space of essentiality. It is what Heidegger pointed out when naming lang...
It seems to me that this is an inconsistency in the approach. An evil animal would be an animal that does not follow its nature. Consequently, no anim...
In general today we understand evidence as scientific evidence. Scientific evidence depends entirely on repetition in controlled environments where pa...
I would not confine language and all the mediatedness in which we are involved as a simple medium that divides two poles so easily: man and the world....
In a sense my point is very similar to what Derrida says about how the identity of the self in order to transcend and have a certain ideality implies ...
Think about how you discover for the first time that an eye is used to see. You obviously don't know that a priori, until it is actually functioning. ...
I would say conditioned but not predetermined. As I said, predetermination implies foreshadowing, or rather, that assumes that the future is implicit ...
In my view nominalism fails to recognize the persistent and repetitive element of things. We can take time as the framework of the demonstration: If w...
You are right, it is better to talk about self-deception. However, I think there is a misconception. Bad faith does not refer to the absence of freedo...
From my point of view a very important thing to ask is: If we are free, are we condemned to be free? If so, then the act of bad faith is the attempt t...
I cannot agree with the teleology of being. It is a form of preformism that in my opinion is already well refuted. To illustrate this, one can take th...
But religion would be our reaction to the deployment and imposing force of the law which constitutes us as theoreticians or followers of the law. We, ...
As I remember, advaita philosophy resorts to a process of identification just like monism. As I understand it, there are three metaphysical realities ...
We cannot prevent our assessments from slipping into how things should be. We cannot avoid that our assessments are posed on a quasi-universality spac...
From my point of view non-duality means monism (there is only one substance) and duality means dualism (two substances). But I am not a substantialist...
I'm referring to ideas like of the Good, which are found in a hyperuranian topos and cannot be constructed but can be discovered. That is, as simple i...
My stance is kinda particular on this matter. I claim that Universality is always virtual, it is under construction and surpasses our subjective parti...
Think about the embodied-mind. There would be a relation between our ability to grasp objects and the appearance of things as objects in our perceptio...
Well, according to my view the idea of God is located at de limits of the reasonable. Just because is a limit-idea which overflows any context of a po...
I think you are misleading my argument. A proof like Gödel's continues in this step of enclosing God through logic. Again, can't God be contradictory?...
There is something interesting that arises from considering the possible proof of God: Why do we believe that God is something that can be proven? A P...
Hello. When we say that objects are a product of language, we are simply shifting the problem from the external world to the interiority of language. ...
When I think about emergentism, a lot of questions always arise (and of course I don't ask to be answered, since they are a bit rhetorical): When we s...
I think you do not take into account that the gravitational singularity is defined according to space-time, although we are talking about an infinite ...
I wouldn't say Newtonian. I conceive spatiality and temporality as part of the thing to the extent that it is always in relationship. However, when ta...
In that case "two fingers" is the third one I am referring to. "Two fingers" is the sign here. To the "two fingers" you have to ADD "oranges" or "appl...
A toddler can see the difference but does not see it as a numerical difference. He can see the difference between an isolated object, and see objects ...
So you think you are as old as the big-bang? If not then you have come into existence like many other people. And not only that but you are different ...
Yesterday I went to the market and told a worker "give me two of those melons." He gave me the two melons. But! The imaginary worker-philosopher might...
I wouldn't say "in-built math". Toddler can differentiate and identify. The quantity appear in another level perception. After all, when we think in n...
Well, if he doesn't know how to count he probably doesn't know that there are two things. He knows that there is a difference and that they are separa...
I have said "I have" as I can say "I have counted." To you it seems that apples and oranges are numbers, to me their numeration may simply be external...
We do not know. "Have" refers to property. I prefer to say apples and oranges can be counted as something potential. We learn to count. But first thin...
I don't mean given in the sense of something given once and for all without the need for explanation. I am referring to something given in a historica...
If I have 5 oranges in one basket and I have 5 apples in another basket, the 5 does not seem to participate in Appleness nor the orangeness. So the nu...
If I understand correctly, you are referring to something similar to Kant's categories. In this case to the quantity category. Well, I'm not a big fan...
I mean phenomena in the sense that they are objects that are presented and prepared for scientific work. These objects, however, may be the product of...
Actually we do see many new things appear: new stars, new human beings, new social problems, new diseases, new hopes, new philosophies, new theories, ...
Certainly what I have said is close to what Chalmers thinks. Although I would not go so far as to talk about the mental, the mathematical, etc. as som...
I don't think this is the place to discuss the reductionism involved in conceiving meaning as simple brain processes. There is an association but no i...
Yes: without the need for this reduction we can access truths, demonstrations, deductions, correlations, empirical verifications, and so many other sc...
The question is whether physicalism should be founded on knowledge. Founded on the knowledge provided by our sciences. Otherwise, ironically, physical...
