Something cannot be named, thought, represented, or manifested if it does not have a finite existence. Infinity, as a mathematical model, can only exi...

Every being has embodiment - its flesh, structure, potential. But embodiment itself does not yet generate a property. A property arises when a being e...

But at the same time it is difficult for a philosopher to stop in his criticism. The philosopher begins to ask - "What is "is"?", "What does "to be" m...

"potential for redness" is of course not an academic term, but simply my way of expressing the idea. In this case, it is the potential inherent in an ...

I agree with you. In this sense, philosophy is a dude who sits in your head and criticizes you. In psychology, this is called self-reflection (if I'm ...

This is the problem I had in mind when I spoke about interaction with others. Many people are driven by prejudices. As Gadamer says, this is not bad, ...

An interesting approach—formally elegant and convenient, especially from the standpoint of set-theoretic formalization. It allows properties to be nea...

I just read this thread. I remember how in rhetoric classes at the university we spent the whole semester chewing over 2 questions: 1. Should prostitu...

my interest in academic philosophy began with a visit to the Kant Museum in Kaliningrad (Königsberg) about 5 years ago. Although Kant was part of the ...

It is interesting to observe how each of those who spoke, possessing extensive knowledge in the field of philosophy and a long history of philosophizi...

How did you manage to connect all this with the people around you? Did they start listening to your wisdom, or on the contrary, moving away from you? ...

It would be difficult for me to assess in your place what exactly is minimizing suffering: letting someone commit suicide or letting someone live :gri...

In Russian, this also finds its development. "??????" (videt') - that is, to See and "??????" (vedat') - that is, to Know. Both words come from the Ol...

August 24, 2025 at 22:20
Have you ever felt the urge to take stock of your own paradigm? Thought experiment: You walk into a room where a stranger is about to commit suicide. ...
August 24, 2025 at 22:18
I admit honestly. Often I deliberately reject any rational knowledge and make a decision simply on the basis of what I want (without explaining the re...
August 24, 2025 at 22:06
I really like your approach to this issue. It is multifaceted and takes into account different views. However, the thing is that if you imagine yourse...

I do not earn my living from philosophy and philosophizing in the literal sense. Unless, of course, you consider my regular work as a lawyer as philos...

I don't know how a bear understands a forest. Honestly. Yes, it is a cognitive construct. I justify this by the fact that a system in the world itself...

This is a great question. I really enjoy these kinds of questions because at first glance they seem self-evident, but for me, answering them is always...
August 24, 2025 at 17:00
I was unable to read your article, unfortunately. You claim that value cannot be quantified, but the question arises: why should value be quantified o...

Dogs clearly have consciousness and even will, as they can follow human commands, sometimes against their own desires, as some studies have shown. How...
August 16, 2025 at 12:37
Not only that. This judgment is more like the later work "The Psychology of the Masses." I even recommend reading the first work, "The Psychology of t...

To be honest, I've been struggling with the translations. My English is not the best... In Russian, it is translated as "concrete"

Is that better? It's not the forum's fault. I read in Cyrillic, quote, and it comes out like this. When I read in English and quote, it comes out as u...

August 14, 2025 at 12:17
First of all, I want to say that I was not impressed by the approach of the author you cited. "Realism vs. idealism” in their presentation is a mixtur...

The question of how to approach the ontology of being that which exists beyond language and thought—is a central one in philosophy, since language and...

In my opinion, the consensus that red is red for everyone is sufficient for everyday life. Let's look at the consequences: (although this seems a bit ...

Is state activity itself a form of profit? Is creating harmony in society a privilege reserved for the elites? However, it is through technology that ...

Let's say I enjoy tickling a pebble. But will that stop a person from grinding a thousand cute pebbles into powder to obtain a chip for an iPhone?
August 12, 2025 at 12:26
What would change in our way of being if we were to think of things as possessing consciousness?
August 12, 2025 at 11:36
Thank you for the excellent essay! I'm so glad to read a contemporary author who doesn't succumb to the trendy currents that proclaim the "death of th...
August 12, 2025 at 11:18
This is very important. This is exactly what I am talking about at the start: Not "what I am," but "how I being." It is in this act that our above-men...

I had to make some simplifications to explain things to Russell.

In no way — it’s all speculation, in the sense that any scientific postulate is, at its inception, a conceptual construct accepted without direct proo...

I probably won’t surprise you by saying that I am neither a philosopher by profession nor by my initial education. Only now, after many years of worki...
August 11, 2025 at 11:23
It seems to me you are confining “being” to the realm of linguistic tokens and mental concepts, and therefore discussing only our representation of be...
August 11, 2025 at 10:54
Before talking about the dynamics of concepts, I’d like to clarify: what exactly do you mean by “being”? Do you equate it with the linguistic meaning ...
August 11, 2025 at 09:57
I believe that these findings have a direct impact on the things that we have discussed with you in other topics. For example: Some people ask, "What ...

This is a wonderful comment that led me to the following reflections: The key Greek concept of ousia was a noun derived from the verb einai (“to be”)....

I speak English at the level of: gossiping with a neighbor. Reading a tabloid newspaper or traveling is enough. When I write here, I first write in my...

Yes, I agree. In fact, RussellA, just now pushed me to another thought. Let's say we have confirmed: The world is not static and does not consist of s...

Your "own reality" is not reality itself, but your idea of it. Human perception is limited: the eye does not see bacteria, the skin feels the wind, bu...

Here is what Heidegger wrote on this subject: “The meaning of the word ‘being’ is the most general and at the same time the most empty. But at the sam...
