I happen to find that comment hilarious cause its precisely the type of reification Quine is talking in the Inscrutibility of Reference. Through incip...
The electrical sensation of that often comes in pleasure and life affirming activities. That sensation that runs down your spine when you feel empower...
No, actually the will to power is a sensation above all, and certainly suggesting it is "Will to Life and pleasure," is the misnomer... More than just...
My girlfriend's sock was pulled off her foot in such a way that it looks like the head of a dead pig. I'd reckon there's more philosophy there, than i...
Not necessarily. And just repeating the same argument just repeats the same fallacy. *shrug* I don't need to repeat the same rebuttal, as it still sta...
Of course it is, it suffers from the is-ought leap of logic, you'd need an additional premise that connects the initial descriptive with the final pre...
Except the argument you made is from presupposition on "what is good" among quite a few others. Which if we're going into logic ... well, let's not fo...
I read the OP. I find it a suitable adaptation of "Selflessness is Selfishness." People that don't enjoy it probably just don't like the idea of "Obje...
That's subjective. Which for Philosophim, it is. All philosophies are the prejudice of the philosopher who creates them, and although this isn't a phi...
Fair enough, but I suppose the biggest issue with all philosophy is that any philosophy is the prejudice of the philosopher who admits them. Therefore...
Basically if I wanted to understand from Wittgenstein's point of view, wouldn't I stay within Wittgenstein's framework? Rather than assuming from some...
At a glance I can tell it will be an interesting read. But I must run along and chase my wild hounds elsewhere at the moment! I'll be back, but I see ...
If existence is inherently good then that would mean, as something fundamental to existence, perspective is also good, which means the only objective ...
I'm sorry that you feel that way, but here, allow me to demonstrate a few times that he does: Ecce Homo; first section of Why I Write Such Excellent B...
Again you're not explicitly framing the statements in the context of moral subjectivism. Moral subjectivism holds that moral propositions have no obje...
Yes but from your bias on truth being objective, you're conflating that a moral subjectivist would conflate their truth as objective fact with #2 henc...
Here's how prayer works, in my opinion: When someone has a "moment" with prayer, this is an affirmation of one own existence that resonates internally...
I do not wish to read through the whole discussion, so my apologies if this has already been addressed: 1 is your bias of the word belief, and certain...
Autobiographies are somewhat of a rarity in general. Thankfully for us all, Nietzsche was merciful enough and left us a very significant one, Ecce Hom...
Sure, sounds like Wittgenstein's approach is more of a style of marriage between science and philosophy, where as Russell and the others were more in ...
I'll accept that defense, thank you for the insight. I decided to pick up the text and got an audiobook of it also. Would you say Wittgenstein was att...
Enter Greek Mythology cause this is how many of them thought? Time is a Circle that repeats all things have happened all things will happen. Giving yo...
Nietzsche seems to have a few things to say upon this IIRC. I remember having to look up "atavism" from a song I really liked a long time ago, and I b...
See how facts change? The fact: Tractatus is positivism simply by the first few lines. And according to sources it was only ever hailed as a masterpie...
What is the case is often subject to perspective. If PI was clearly not pro-positivistic, but Tractatus is, then doesn't that espouse more than a marg...
And of course, doesn't all of this rely upon Wittgenstein's presupposition of what a "fact" is? Doesn't Wittgenstein himself later overturn the logic ...
Yes, it uses solid theories and slams them all together with some hyperbole to argue a thesis that cannot be currently proven. But science has hinted ...
Icarus was a Greek. To the Greek, and especially the Stoics, time is an infinite circle, and they (many of the Stoics) thought that everything repeats...
