Sure. Every object needs to have an essence, because this is what guarantees their multiplicity. If objects had no essences, there would be no multipl...
If you agree with Graham Harman when he says that every object has an essence, and that in every case, every essence is incomprehensible to human reas...
Why 1788? What's so special about that specific date? For Oossians, I mean. I know why it's important to other folk, beyond the borders of your countr...
No, he could not. God has being, as does everything else. Think of it like this: all animals have life, but there is no animal called "Life". All enti...
The way I see it, Being is historical. Existence is not. Both of them (Being and existence) are temporal, but not in the same way. Existence has no hi...
That's not the way I see it. I agree with Graham Harman's interpretation of Heidegger, which he sets forth in his first book, Tool-Being: Heidegger an...
You're wrong. As I told you via Inbox: Which is to my point about Heidegger's Being and Time, and about you being wrong that my comment was a bit too ...
He suggested it, yes. He suggested it, as professional physicist, as well as a philosopher. I can share some quotes, if you don't believe me. And I've...
I can vouch for @"Corvus", he is an excellent metaphysician. Maybe his skills as a logician are not comparable to those of an Analytic philosopher, bu...
I'm on a roll today. I hope that you Christians appreciate all of these good Christian arguments that I'm making on your behalf, and I say that irresp...
Ok, sorry about that, then. Misinterpretation on my part. There are no facts, there are only interpretations, yadda yadda. Didn't Nietzsche himself sa...
Here is a new Christian argument, but of the Rastafari denomination (yes, I believe that Rastafari is a denomination of Christianity. Feel free to dis...
40 degrees Celsius (104 Farenheit) right now in the small coastal town where I live in Argentina And these stupid Eucalyptus trees that some genius br...
Then let's add one. I'll have to change the numbers of the premises, accordingly: (FTI10) The Big Bang happened. (FTI11) If so, then God caused the Bi...
Thanks. Here's an argument that Georges Lemaître might advance. (FTI10) If the Big Bang happened, then God caused it. (FTI11) If so, then: if it is a ...
What is your interpretation of that, as a Christian? And are you Orthodox or Catholic? (Thank you very much for such a high-quality response. It's the...

Hey @"Banno" here's a book you might like, it's free to download and it's called Indigenous Sovereignty and the Being of the Occupier: Manifesto for a...
And so, the point here, is that there are several kinds of atheists, just as there are several kinds of Christians. An atheist can be dogmatist (i.e.,...
It's well known that Aristotle coined the terms "matter" and "energy". The former, hyle, is potentiality, and this is what Meillassoux is referring to...
And here's my interpretation of Meillassoux's quote, part by part: This is a general theist argument, it's not necessarily a specifically Christian ar...
In fact, I'd argue that one possible slogan is this one: "Australia: a beautiful land (as seen in Albert's paintings) with ugly people (as seen in Vin...
Well, but arguably everyone can paint like Piet Mondrian. Arguably, anyone can start a punk rock band, you don't even need to know how to play an inst...
Thanks for that insightful critique. It seems like your main objection to the OP is of a methodological nature, i.e., how people should argue, what ar...
