In a simple example... if one has been searching to purchase a single car, one will probably make short lists of preferences, look at various makes an...
Well... if you had stopped there I'd simply say "OK... it's your life, it's your perception and it's your choice.", but you continued... In short... G...
I find other flaws in the first two arguments mentioned. I haven't really bother to check them for hasty generalizations, as the other things caught m...
A fair question. (so now more than likely I'll get my head chopped off by someone some where who will flip their lid over something that they find to ...
If you mean forget theism as in erase it from our memory or knowledge I would not advocate that notion. Indeed I'm not a theist and certainly do not a...
along side with the physical aspects in most cases (2 arms, 2 legs, 2 lungs, a heart...) there is a large body of work researched and peer reviewed an...
What an odd question. It sort of has a few odd generalizations. I'm fairly certain that there were folks who rejected forms of theism that occurred pr...
I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding the question. Do you mean: What if the intended manner in which human beings perceive and understand thei...
hmm... odd thought here. If I'm not mistaken the notion of creating or making something (act of creation) is bound by the standards of either the temp...
Hey Sis! That would not make Nancy Pelosi VP. In the event of a resignation or impeachment, the current VP Pence would become President and he would n...
Just imagine how different things would be if indeed these were taught and we included an understanding of logical fallacies (such as argumentum ad pa...
While I'm thinking of it you can also use Venn Diagrams in the effort to illustrate and validate (also defend - defeat) Categorical Syllogisms. https:...
So basically it sounds as if you are concered with how we have such things as Modus ponens and other valid arguments (inference)? If so, in this case ...
As BrianW stated above: What do you mean by logic? It has various incarnations such as: Syllogistic logic Propositional logic Predicate logic Modal lo...
Interesting application of CORNEA. I usually see it associated with the "problem of evil" in term of skeptical theism (Wykstra), but I imagine it coul...
Here's a somewhat odd approach to the odd problem that I'm not really sure I endorse, but anyway... Is it at all possible to do any of the following: ...
Camus... The Myth of Sisyphus? Kierkegaard... Fear and Trembling and Either/Or? Ecclesiastes 1:4-11... "nothinng new under the sun"? Jean-Paul Sartre....
Are you morally superior to someone else? No. Now for a different question regarding you. Why are they telling you this? Are you tossing it in their f...
Have fun lovin' wisdom... ... I'll check in in a week or so. (vacation ahead of me... Vive la Paris! ) http://static.existentialcomics.com/comics/wisd...
Indeed. I'm not really that interested in a long laundry list of the personal examples of intuition being a "great thing" (evidence collected in a cas...
No you didn't say intuition was an end... I did. If intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge without proof, evidence, or conscious reasoning, or ...
Fine... My point here is that intuition without continual critical investigation can lead to far more errors (thus of less value when alone); thus int...
To do so I'd need really specific statement and not generalized notions. In addition, I'd need to know a large martix of factors ranging from past ind...
I wasn't directing the post at you personally. I'm only concerned with the ideas being presented and what I read. If I understood what I read is anoth...
One note before I comment... I'm happy this is not viewed as a competition. I've encountered far too many folks who think this is sport; thus the flam...
I'm not too sure if my comments are of any use, but as I view the issue the term in atheist simply means the belief that no god exists. This might see...
OK... I can agree, well... sort of agree. My take on intuition is that it is a slang term for a quick reflex observation/analysis/conclusion that inde...
Thanks for the clarification. I can't really agree with the conclusion, as with intuition that there is a potential (and probable) set of mistakes and...
Sort of reminds me of Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Gang of Four, Talking Heads, General Public, Jane's Addiction and a few others from the 80's without...
If it helps I didn't write the definition, but rather took it from 3 different sources. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuition https://en.oxforddicti...
OK... Intutions is the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning... the ability to acquire knowledge wit...
Bias blind spot: a coginitive bias of one having the tendency to see oneself as less biased than other people, or to be able to identify more cognitiv...
I've always thought that the Humean saying has been overly generalized. I also have the notion that passions/emotions/desires can indeed be both ratio...
I don't believe I'd ever care to use the term "truly reasonable". I find both reason and truth to be relative state of status. In short, both are subj...
I believe we shop rather differently. I tend toward things I know I want or things I know I'm looking for. This makes me into a rather dreadful consum...
hmm... Seems obsessed? Why not say seems concerned or seems to focus mostly upon? I'm just curious about the potential emotional impact of the use of ...
I wanted to end my post with a rimshot, but wasn't too sure if this was being too overboard. I really don't take philosophy that seriously... it's far...
It reads better as the original, but is less a question and more an implied statement wearing a questions clothing. One of the purposes (not just a pu...
"What's the purpose of philosophy?" Is it just me or does this limit the scope of potential purposes/applications of philosophy to a single aspect? Pe...
Well... not quite. Cognitive bias leads to something (leads to a comclusion) that one prefers to be true (correct). Whether the conclusion is indeed t...
I'm not sure the debate of determinism vs. free will has very much to do with the ordinary understanding of free will. Determinism basically concludes...
I like the image somehow. Critical thought outside of the cancer's own worldview of worldview preference (cognitive biases) and domination? The possib...
I have to confess, I've read very little in spite of having a degree in philosophy. (dyslexia) I've only read a few quips and quote from Hegel, but so...
The forum would have made it without me. I just happened to be at the right time in the context of my existence to thrust forward the cause a bit quic...
Agreed! Economics, as well as many other domanins of human thought, are argued mostly via cognitive biases. Philosophy can take up the charge to point...
Exit the cave and get killed for your efforts? As for addressing authoritarians, well... Eine neue wissenschaftliche Wahrheit pflegt sich nicht in der...
