I'm more interested in whether we can get an idea of how the definitive argument from physicalism would work with which it could be demonstrated to be...
I think I understand what you mean. You try to think of the situation as a whole. However, keep in mind that communication is never complete at once, ...
Again I agree with everything, except for one thing: I have problems with this. When we talk about exchange we talk about something that passes from o...
I agree with everything. I would just like to clarify that a system of signs is not necessarily a living system of signs . As for "exchanging informat...
The biggest difference I have with Wittgenstein is what I said in my response to @AlkisPiskas: "Thus, taking the example of a book (a book-dictionary)...
Use is part of the meaning but it is not everything. Wittgenstein's theory is incomplete without a theory of the sign. That is why I talk about sign s...
I wasn't referring to a conscious being either. But it is necessary that this thing be a creator which causes something from nothingness. However the ...
Here is my contribution: First of all, it seems to me that to raise the possibility of a first cause one must start from a simple entity . Secondly, t...
I think meaning is something that happens to a system of signs. Something that happens to the medium, so to speak. When two sign systems meet, they es...
Why would you want to live in a world alone where everything, including people, is fictional? Sounds terrifying. It is also very disrespectful to the ...
Yes. You can say that they are simply pixel-marks. In any case, in general, due to context limitations, we can only resort to other digital marks to m...
This is interesting because we can take our own case as an example: Our communication through digital marks on the internet. How can the use of words ...
Common sense tells me that there is a difference between reflection and what is reflected. Isn't the event horizon of a black hole just a reflection o...
I would say that the article is a bit irrelevant to what I have said and about the topic. Among all the mental juggling attempted in the article there...
When we participate in meaningful communication we enter a dimension that we do not control at will. Language functions as a social law, kinda. For th...
It seems to me that in the OP lies the dilemma between practical reason (morality, the meaning of life, ethics) and objective reason in Kant's philoso...
Yes. What I'm claiming is extremely counterintuitive. But I hope that counterintuitiveness doesn't mean something bad or delegitimize what I'm saying....
So, the "scientific evidence" is also simulated. That's kinda a liar's paradox. :joke: This is a reminder of why we need philosophy of science accompa...
Well, yes. When a written mark (word) enters in a specific con-text, such as the story of a book, where it is related to other written marks (other wo...
It is relatively easy to give examples on the matter. I have already given several, as in the case of two people who speak the same language. The soun...
I think it is wrong to make computer language the universal language in which all types of knowledge would be expressed. For example, if we assume tha...
The cause is the relation between sign systems and the encounter between those. The effect is something that happens inside each sign system. For exam...
I claim that the sign by itself does not "contribute" information at all. But, equally, the subject does not contribute information either. The inform...
The physical dimension of language cannot be ignored. Just as you cannot ignore the sounds uttered by speakers and interlocutors in a communication. B...
Have you not considered that, perhaps, some approach published on this topic covers what you mention, since these approaches are, kinda, ontological a...
If you want to make a generalization of the idea of language to apply it to physical processes I have no problem. In fact I'm doing the same thing, ki...
What I am claiming is that a signal like that has no information, no matter how organized that signal is. I consider that Information and order are no...
I am not discussing a certain ideality of information, which is the same ideality of meaning. I'm discussing the ontological status of information, in...
So you have evidence of the existence of information that precedes interpretation (the relationship between sign systems)? Show me any. You will see t...
Actually, you just have evidence of someone else interpreting something. That is to say, whenever we talk about information an interpreter will be nec...
I'm stating the opposite. Most of the contents of consciousness cannot be described in physicalist terms. But it doesn't follow from this that inanima...
Well, the only evidence of information you have is not the footprint, but something that you represent to yourself and assign more or less a truth val...
Let's assume that you discover in a footprint on the beach that it was a person who made it. Now you have the information in your head, so to speak, o...
To argue that consciousness exceeds all possible physical description is not to argue in favor of an extrapolation of consciousness over the rest of w...
I would say, following Deleuze a bit: If the same meaning endures through different incarnations it is because there is a common and potential (but no...
The problem with information theories that seek to universalize the concept of information is that they confuse the causal origin of information with ...
I would say that they are not even just imagined. That is, they have a historical appearance, through writing and through language. You find a triangl...
I'm sorry but that is absolutely false. Even empirical evidence refutes it. For example, as children we do not imagine something like a "triangle" but...
Let me quote you: Well, here you are talking about reducing the concept of a triangle to a pure psychological act. And this is where my refutation com...
Hello everyone, my name is JuanZu. I am a lover of philosophy, I have some academic studies in philosophy but incomplete. My interests mainly cover me...
Not at all. I start from the assumption that we are talking about the same field, in order to take that assumption to the limit where it can be demons...
In this regard, Husserl spoke that in iterative moments there must be a sedimentation in which the meaning is recorded to be "revived" by intentionali...
Well, I precisely maintain that they are different fields, not only in terms of validation but in their terms, their relationships and operations. But...
Maybe you think it's not relevant because you're not understanding it very well. For example, if you don't talk about neuronal synapses, you can talk ...
Regarding how our perceptions provided by the senses occur, I am very close to Kant. There is no pure and passive receptivity. For Kant, such a thing ...
I have always found especially interesting that step to the limit that characterizes Husserl in the discovery of essences. Said step to the limit cons...
Well, you can't. Since we are talking about an internal relationship that is deduced from elements of an object that differs in its identity from the ...
If one system belongs to another it does not imply equality between the identities of each system. For example, a living system may seek survival and ...
