My skills as a logician are quite limited, unfortunately. I simply don't have enough time in the 24 hours of the day to do both logic and metaphysics....
Let's just say that I'm a bit more interested in metaphysics than in epistemology, how about that? It sounds like a good compromise (at least to my ea...
Sure, that could be the case. I think you understand Empiricism better than me, Corvus, so I don't think that I'm able to disagree with you in that se...
Thank you for your contribution, Wayfarer, and for taking the time to do so. It is much appreciated. What are your thoughts on bishop Berkeley? I beli...
Homer: the first Greek poet. Chaos: the First, in Hesiod's philosophical theogony. Poem: what Homer composed, and what Hesiod wrote. Myth: Something t...
You express yourself in a way that seems, quite frankly, foreign to my own ways of self-expression. Yet it seems to me that we more or less agree, her...
What's the precise and exacting solution to the Sorites Paradox, then? Let's start with that. I favor a solution that is not semantic in nature: indee...
Yet they know that there's a very high temperature inside the Earth's core, beneath other levels, such as the mantle and the crust. And they know that...
I understand where you're coming from, yet I fail to see how I could improve such a situation in any meaningful way. I mean, it sounds like a problem ...
Nope, never heard of him. Thanks for the reference, I'll check out his work. I'm more of a Hegelian than a Schellingian. Hegel is easier to understand...
I think that the same could be fairly said of what I have called "Divine Complexity", but I don't want to derail Bob's Thread. If you want to start a ...
Let me add something to this. It's not OK that this problem is a mindfuck. We should, at the very least, do our very best in order to ensure that this...
It's a real mindfuck if you think about it, like, this isn't politics anymore. This is straight-up ecology, from the plastic in the ocean to the plast...
Ok, how about geology, then? The core of the Earth has not been observed, as of 2025. Is it unobservable? Maybe, maybe not. However, scientists (geolo...
Astrophysics at the exact moment of the Big Bang. You need both quantum physics and general relativity for that. And they're incompatible in relation ...
Yeah, but it's like, why wouldn't I? I've never read the SEP entry on Divine Simplicity before you referenced it, so why wouldn't I give credit where ...
Not sure why you tagged me here, Banno. I don't think I can address the contents of the post that you linked, it sounds to me that you wanted Bob's re...
I can't disagree with your comment. It sounds like something that I would agree with, even if I wouldn't phrase it like you phrased it. But that's ine...
You wanna know who has the most unorthodox interpretation of Plato, in my opinion? Iain Hamilton Grant, in his book Philosophies of Nature After Schel...
The book El Sol, la Línea y la Caverna (The Sun, The Line, and The Cave), by Conrado Eggers Lan. This book represents the standard, mainstream interpr...
Yeah, but it's like, we can live with less plastic, I'm honestly really sure about that. Can we live with less transportation or less electricity? I'm...
Sure. Even mining for Bitcoins has an effect on the carbon footprint. I mentioned plastic because it's the most obvious example. I didn't mean to impl...
If it's so difficult, why do we teach that to students in their first university year? I don't think it's complicated at all. No one does. Have you ev...
Nothing wrong with that. You're under no obligation to believe in it. No one is. That's the whole point. The Absolute Spirit, as Hegel understands it,...
