I know enough about the philosophy of the mind and I don't need to read another book on the topic.

Software is nothing but an arrangement of bytes of memory in a hardware. So it is not a thing by itself. So to you, the mind is an arrangement of phys...

The doubt is special as I argued. I have been working and reading on the philosophy of the mind for several years. Well, it seems to me that is an end...
February 14, 2025 at 15:33
No. How do you distinguish between the mind and the brain? What is your definition of the mind?
February 14, 2025 at 14:43
The Mind is not the brain. The brain is physical, by physical I mean it is a sort of substance. Accepting that the brain and the mind are the same one...

It is special. If we accept the mental phenomenon of doubt, we can conclude that options are real. Yes, brain states are subject to change and are det...

I am saying two things here: 1) Accepting that experience is an emergent property then we deal with epiphenomenalism and 2) Experience is not a substa...

What is non sequiturs here?
February 14, 2025 at 13:26
Yes, I am aware of the emergence concept. Accepting that experience is an emergent property leads to epiphenomenalism in which experience does not hav...

Here is the argument from Change for God by Aquinas: 1. Some things in the world change. 2. Everything that changes is caused to do so. 3. Nothing is ...
February 14, 2025 at 13:18
I already change the argument to include your objection: P1) God exists and is the creator of the creation from nothing P2) If so, then there is a sit...

I am saying that experience is due to physical. Physical is a substance, like the brain, without it experience is not possible.
February 14, 2025 at 13:02
I am not talking about the abstract objects here. I am talking about experience. Are you denying that you experience and your experience is not subjec...
February 14, 2025 at 13:00
What do you mean?

How that could be done without the Mind? The physical cannot possibly understand what goes into the experience. Experience is due to matter and change...
February 14, 2025 at 11:50
Maybe!
February 14, 2025 at 11:17
Probably! Who knows!?
February 14, 2025 at 11:16
I am talking about mental state doubt.
February 14, 2025 at 11:15
Ok, and thanks.
February 13, 2025 at 21:10
Oh, I see.
February 13, 2025 at 21:07
Ok, and thanks.
February 13, 2025 at 21:06
What is art to Hegel? What is religion to Hegel? What is philosophy to Hegel?
February 13, 2025 at 21:05
Thanks for your input. It is now necessary that I read more on Hegel.
February 13, 2025 at 20:59
I only lie when my life is in danger! :) A promise to you and myself. Thanks for introducing Hegel to me.
February 13, 2025 at 20:57
Because I have a physical body and I also have experience. I am not saying that all changes are due to experience since there could be a type of physi...
February 13, 2025 at 20:55
Here, I am arguing in favor of new substance dualism. Both materialism and idealism are sort of monism. I don't think that materialism is true because...
February 13, 2025 at 20:36
I don't understand what you mean here. Do you mind elaborating?
February 13, 2025 at 20:25
Thanks for your input. I was not aware of this. I will read more on Hegel when I have time.
February 13, 2025 at 20:21
Thanks for your confirmation.
February 13, 2025 at 20:17
Oh, I didn't know that!
February 13, 2025 at 20:16
It is correct given the definition of doubt.
February 13, 2025 at 20:15
If we accept that God exists for the sake of argument then God is either the result of evolution or He simply exists as an Omniscient, Omnipresent, an...

There are arguments for the uncaused cause, such as Aquinas's argument from change. However, he mixes the concept of God, the creator of creation from...
February 13, 2025 at 19:10
There are arguments for the existence of God. For example, the argument from motion by Aquinas: 1. Some things in the world change. 2. Everything that...

I am not a philosopher by a physicist by training so I need the help of other philosophers to refine my ideas and make them concrete. Thank you very m...

OK, thanks.

Doubts are not allowed in a deterministic world. Everything is certain in a deterministic world since by definition determinism refers to a worldview ...

February 12, 2025 at 18:54
As I said, you are not interested in discussing the OP. That is all right to me. Other philosophers in this forum are interested in the topic though. ...
February 12, 2025 at 18:40
Please correct me if I am wrong, so according to Hegel, the subject refers to self-consciousness and self-knowledge of a being.
February 12, 2025 at 18:31
I see and thanks for your post.
February 12, 2025 at 18:26
I thought you were interested in discussing the OP. It seems you are not. So the end of the discussion.
February 12, 2025 at 14:07
It is not irrational. To focus on an argument we have to limit the scope of discussion, otherwise, we don't get anywhere.
February 12, 2025 at 13:48
What do you think of the argument in OP? Here is the final form of the argument: P1) God exists and is the creator of the creation from nothing P2) If...
February 12, 2025 at 13:47
That is not how I defined a substance. I don't believe that God is made of matter; otherwise, God would be visible to us. That also applies to spiritu...
