Well, if that's the case, then allow me to play the part of the skeptic, please. What are your APs? What are mine? Which ones would be common to you a...

Interesting argument.

I've heard about them, especially the latter, but I don't know much about them. What are they about?
February 14, 2025 at 01:20
So what's you point, in that comment, specifically? I don't get it.
February 14, 2025 at 01:15
Are there any further levels of simplicity, in that sense? Honest question.

Well, that's why we use logical symbols, like propositional letters, for example, in the context of propositional logic. Symbols such as "p", "q", "r"...

You're right, but you're also far too kind towards me. My critique of bishop Berkeley could be wrong.
February 14, 2025 at 00:50
Well, since you said the magic word, I guess I have no choice. And by that, I mean that I have to stop being a dick towards everyone, including myself...

The less bright side?
February 13, 2025 at 21:12
Don't take my word for it, though.

Art is what Aesthetics studies. Religion is what Theology studies. And Philosophy is what Science studies.
February 13, 2025 at 21:09
Nah. You'll be fine. You're under no obligation to read Hegel, in any way, shape, or form.

I prefer Mario Bunge, but people don't like him : )

Well said!

Ok MoK, that sounds great to me. :up:

Not at all, I don't mind at all. Here you go: Affirmation: Synthesis. Negation: Analysis. Negation of the Negation: Affirmation of the Affirmation. Th...

Hmmm... do I believe you? : ) Should I believe you? : D Is that a promise? If so, is that a promise to me? Or to yourself?
February 13, 2025 at 20:23
Of course you did, Young Dragon : ) No problem, mate. :up: I'm just as seaworthy as you. :death: Yet I'm not identical to you : )
February 13, 2025 at 20:20
Well MoK, an atheist such as myself would say that God does not exist. And I say that as a Hegelian. Why? Because the Ultimate Synthesis, for Hegel, i...

The problem with the very concept of a fossil, of course, when it is used in that poetic way, is that it loses its literal meaning. And its literal me...

That's Meillassoux's "Problem of the arche-Fossil", if it can be called that. It's more like a classical dilemma, I would say. Not really a "problem" ...

This part is a summary of the old debate between idealism and materialism.
February 13, 2025 at 19:51
Suggestion: analysis is the anti-Thesis of synthesis. That's what makes it dialectical, and hence, Hegelian.
February 13, 2025 at 19:50
This argument has a Hegelian structure: P1) First Thesis P2) First anti-Thesis C1) Therefore, First Synthesis (from P1 and P2) = Second Thesis P3) Sec...

There's nothing to criticize or input, .

It's a Hegelian argument, what do you expect? : ) At least you're not making a Schellingian argument, those are even worse! : D

We mustn't forget that every Dragon is born from an egg. And the average lifespan of a Dragon far surpasses the average lifespan of a human. Right?

Thanks ! You're an excellent forum moderator, one of the best I've ever seen! (Edited because I removed a music video)
February 13, 2025 at 19:22
Well, look at the bright side, this Thread hasn't degenerated into a debate about the shape of the Earth, and we can take some pride in that fact.

I don't want to understand it, their conflict doesn't concern me.

An axis is a line. And since the extrusion of a line is a plane, it follows that by having four axes (x, y, z, w), this can be represented in set-theo...
