"Ultimate" is the last in a temporal sense, it's the conceptual opposite of the First. The Spirit is simply the Culture, as the synthesis of Nature an...
I never said that the Hegelian Absolute Spirit was First or Fundamental, all I said is that it is Ultimate and that it is a Truth about something else...
That's a fallacy. Specifically, an ad hominem fallacy. If a moron says that 2 + 2 = 4, and you say "that's false because you're a moron", then the per...
I already know what the ultimate truth is, about reality. It is Hegel's concept of the Absolute Spirit. And that is not factiality. EDIT: The song tha...
I don't think so. It depends on what genre of literature you're reading that in. If it's a work of fiction, then I wouldn't take it seriously in that ...
I see your AI move, and I raise you the human poem "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace": EDIT: As for the song, I select the following one f...
I'm not sure either, that's why I'm asking for your help. Thank you for taking the time to helping me. Yes, in some sense. In some contexts, at least....
That is indeed the semantic translation, but you lose the rhyming structure with that particular translation. It's a real poetic challenge. Like, take...
But this actually does come up every now and then, in political conversations. Like, I've heard fascists make the argument that human society should b...
Wow... what wisdom you have. And I sure like that word, simplex. Your skills as muser are even greater than your skills as a Poet. It's a lovely poeti...
Right, but you wanna know why bees are like that and we're not? This is a curious biological fact that I learned when I was working on my doctoral the...
Hi. Can I answer with a music video by the band Earth Crisis? Because the lyrics say something about The Hand of Fate. Is that what you're talking abo...
Right, but, look at the point I'm making here, for a sec. It seems to me (and I could be wrong here) that you're mixing up the topic of politics with ...
Ok, let me see if the following analogy holds up, then. When looking at a bee colony, we usually point to a very large individual bee, which is clearl...
Yeah, but what folks are telling me about that, is that to discuss the topic of reincarnation is to go Off Topic in this Thread, since it's about Aris...
Damn, Queensrÿche in the First Place? Brave move, I can respect that. (hello BTW, really scary pseudonym you got there, honestly) Judas Priest in seco...
There's a Thread that I started in this Forum about their philosophical and political ideas, and there's some Youtube videoclips of their songs that I...
So... as in what, then? Is it Divine, in your opinion? The Absolute. Is it Divine? Cool verse. But the third one is a free line, because the ending wo...
I need to correct this thing that I said. Scandinavia also includes Denmark, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands. Why didn't you point out this mistake tha...
Here's a working example of the Alignment table. Ten years ago, more or less, the philosopher Alain de Botton said that the city of Brisbane, Australi...
Wow... You're on roll lately, just delivering pure wisdom! You might even convince me that divine magic exists in the same sense that arcane magic doe...
Hmmm... Ok, I'll bite. By your lights, what should I do in this case in relation to my previous posts, then? What would be the best thing to do here, ...
Hmmm... Ok, I'll bite. We shouldn't be hierarchical, ever? A hierarchy is just an arrangement, objectively speaking. It's just an organizational instr...
Indeed. But it seems that people nowadays want to call experiments themselves into question, just because "philosophy is cool". Just look at the peopl...
Sure, but that's just like, a state of affairs. It doesn't really tell me how we should "go about it" in any meaningful way. Should there be an academ...
Well Mario Bunge uses that term in a positive sense, in many different texts, for example in his article titled In Defense of Realism and Scientism. I...
This happened to me with Hegel, before reading Deleuze's book Nietzsche and Philosophy. Before reading Deleuze's book, I had wondered if someone could...
That's fair. I would say that they have that preference during their routinely, day to day work as scientists. They have to. They can't be reading poe...
Why are you using scare quotes? Honest question, genuinely curious. Like, just say it: a body of water cannot have a hill in it. It has waves. And a h...
I've never seen my own brain. How do I know that I have one? Maybe there is a machine inside my skull, that has mechanical gears and Steampunk technol...
I don't know. Does anyone know that? Things of that sort can be investigated, officially. At some point you kinda get to the bottom of it. It's just s...
Ok, this could be a Moorean answer in some sense. And Moorean answers tend to be correct. Perhaps not due to the right reasons, but Moorean arguments ...
Hi Wayfarer. For what it's worth, I don't think that ChatGPT and Claude AI are very good philosophers. They sound stupid to me, those A.I.s. Just an a...
I would say so. Probably. What would that mean? EDIT: @"Hanover" I've found an English translation of that part (it's not my translation, but I'm link...
That's an amazing thing to hear, and I say that as a professional philosopher. I can't believe that someone actually gets something that useful out of...
I'm trying to think of a Moorean answer to the OP's question but I can't think of any. That doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't any. Moorean an...
