At least one hundred years after Aristotle’s death, an editor of his works (in all probability, Andronicus of Rhodes) titled those fourteen books “Ta ...

Same thing happen in the case of science. Scientific views could be biased too. There is a whole lot of research going on in the field of philosophy o...
March 25, 2024 at 05:40
Actually it is the collection of books containing Aristotle's physics. By after physics , he meant that it is beyond the physical one or comes after t...

You can understand anything it is an intellectual process. You have to express it with language. You need language to think. Therefore language is ver...
March 25, 2024 at 05:16
Actually it isn't . If philosophers could systematically work to make a unified primary meaning it is not a difficult process and it is easily achieva...
March 25, 2024 at 05:04
Because metaphysics is literally , beyond physics and no one has any doubt about that definition . It is simple accurate straight to the point , less ...

Conceptualization is important when it comes to philosophy . For that knowing about the right meaning or the intended meaning of the concepts is absol...
March 23, 2024 at 10:07
I am not denying the importance of interpretations. Philosophical hermeneutics is a field of philosophy and no one is denying its importance. What i m...

No actually that is not what i intended to express. I was simply saying that the oil paintings should be studied as oil paintings and water color pain...
March 23, 2024 at 07:56
i agree.
March 23, 2024 at 07:51
Exactly my point causing , which is causing chaos in the field.
March 23, 2024 at 07:48
That is exactly the problem . When it comes to philosophy it is dealt by philosophers . Philosophers never had a commonality in anything. My intention...
March 23, 2024 at 07:47
I don't want the elimination of hermeneutics . Hermeneutics should be like the part of an organic whole which is the concept.
March 23, 2024 at 07:15
Philosophy as a academic disciplines should gain prominence for that we need to make it accessible to everyone. For that a unified language is necessa...
March 23, 2024 at 07:13
Isn't it necessary for the development of philosophy.
March 23, 2024 at 07:09
No unified definition of metaphysics is not possible. But unified meaning of key concept are possible.
March 23, 2024 at 07:07
Please refer earlier answers I am answering some of your questions there. You can't attribute a single function or purpose for philosophy .
March 19, 2024 at 10:55
Yes that is exactly my point. If we mistook one concept then the whole philosophy disposition will be in jeopardy.
March 19, 2024 at 10:49
No actually it's quite the opposite. Having a unified language doesn't limit philosophy rather it will help in its extension. Philosophy is popularly ...
March 19, 2024 at 08:06
I think there are a lot of misunderstandings in this. Consciousness is expressed differently by different philosophers. Simply consciousness can be at...
March 19, 2024 at 07:40
Actually all of us are in our own cage. We are just unaware of it that's all.
March 19, 2024 at 03:55
It is subjective experience itself. Think of it , it is a belief and it is justified. It is as simple as that. It is one part of it. That is an argume...
March 18, 2024 at 12:52
Actually that is where the question of illusion arises. We will never know if it real or certain. Like that is advaita Vedanta where there is an epist...
March 18, 2024 at 12:42
I think you mistook my statement. I was talking about subjective experiences not sense experience. Those are different things and subjective experienc...
March 17, 2024 at 10:06
No , cogito ergo sum, clearly distinguish mind and body It is idealistic. Mine is subjective experience in any form regardless of any construct or bou...
March 17, 2024 at 10:03
Ok is there a reason why you disagree.
March 17, 2024 at 10:00
I like the way you put it. But the problem here is knowing and experiencing. You have to explain what exactly you meant by know to have a good definit...
March 17, 2024 at 10:00
We cannot know about anything for sure. Definitely not 100%. Only thing we can be sure of is the subjective experience we have. We are experiencing it...
March 17, 2024 at 07:22
I don't think existential could liberate anyone. Existentialism is not actually a philosophical system . It doesn't have a unified structure. Only com...
March 17, 2024 at 07:18
It is called existential experience. You know you exist ?right? It is simply the experience of your existence. You are experiencing it you can't deny ...
March 11, 2024 at 16:47
So does that mean humans are like bacteria for a higher being.
March 08, 2024 at 13:15
Actually it is a practical methodology. I don't think it is better I think it is worth studying it. Maybe even scientifically. If we could improve our...
March 08, 2024 at 13:14
Abhorrent is a strong word don't you think .
March 08, 2024 at 13:11
Actually I was trying to explain that AI couldn't experience higher state of mind. Lot of people cannot understand that and some doesn't believe in th...
March 08, 2024 at 02:08
Actually if we think of non of this is certain. Only thing we are certain about is our existential experience and it is purely subjective. Be it scien...
March 07, 2024 at 06:23
It is not only about judgement. AI couldn't reach higher stated of mind. Or psychedelic state of mind. It can never be achieved. Humans regardless it ...
March 07, 2024 at 06:20
Consciousness and mind are really problematic. Different philosophers have different approach towards both. You could refer philosophy of mind if you ...
March 07, 2024 at 05:33
This is a very interesting discussion. Philosophy is the starting point of most of the fields . Theology is not exactly part of philosophy. This has s...
March 07, 2024 at 02:21
Actually it is not that straight forward. Berkeley as you might know is an empiricist and he is against rationalist ideal. Therefore he clearly want t...
March 07, 2024 at 02:06
Then who is watching you when you are asleep. Does that mean you don't exist when you are asleep.
March 06, 2024 at 18:16
It could happen. But what is the need for AI if we could use our full potential.
March 06, 2024 at 18:15
For your information Nietzsche was interested in the interplay between two creative forces that he believed guided artists. Art inspired by Apollo, th...
March 06, 2024 at 18:03
Ok then tell me about those philosophers. I will surely refer their works.
March 06, 2024 at 17:39
Funny how you are attacking me instead of the argument. That itself is a fallacy . You could refer I M Copi and Cohens introduction to logic for more ...
March 06, 2024 at 17:32
Oh no. Being is , to be, to exist. You cannot see it you could experience it yourself. It is subjective after all. It is you lived in experience.
March 06, 2024 at 16:55
If you are actually familiar with philosophy , art and creativity goes hand in hand. Not art and muscle memory. Art is literally the expression of hum...
March 06, 2024 at 16:53
It is not imagination. If you are familiar about the yogic system of indian philosophy there is a clear cut definition to reach higher states of being...
March 06, 2024 at 16:49
No . For messi there is creativity. Muscle memory is when you see a ball in front of you and you instinctively hit it towards goal. Finding space, ope...
March 06, 2024 at 16:45
That is something which has been thought about since ancient Greek philosophy. Being for me is to be in this world to have existence in this physical ...
