According to extensive Google research, the difference between the two is that the dove is a friendly country bird, and the symbol of many good things...
I don't know if you can accurately say that is "the world". Isn't it more like two distinct perpendicular worlds, the world of real numbers and the wo...
I don't think respect for the so-called law is relevant. What is at issue is respect for enforcement. I don't know what those spying pigeons see throu...
I rented a beautiful farm, way out in the country where I did not see any pigeons, as they are city birds. The principal beauty of that farm was that ...
The principal problem expressed in Zeno's paradoxes, involves an issue with the way that we relate space and time, and this problem manifests today in...
Just so that you understand where I'm at JZ, I pretty much lost all my interest in discussion with you when you wrote the following, what I consider t...
I already went through this. I called it "learning". But if every idea of "triangle" comes from learning, this produces the infinite regress I describ...
Yes, I already knew that you held this opinion. You like to portray the issue as a debate between nominalism and realism, and through that approach I'...
What I am saying is that there is no such difference, it is all psychological. You are merely insisting on a difference to support your ontological po...
I think that the issue here is a lot more complex than one might think. To begin with, we now have one word, "emotion" which may be used to refer to e...
The field we are working in here is philosophy. We are discussing the reality, and objectivity of geometrical objects, that is philosophy. You have as...
So you're argument amounts to "I stipulate that these fields are different", and you think that this validates your perspective. That's called begging...
I still don't know what you are trying to say JuanZu. My point was that one is prior to the other, as the cause of the other. Minds are prior to ideas...
We look back in time to see how the problems which exist today developed over time. And when we look back we see others who have looked back, and we l...
Sorry Bella, I just can't make out the principle of reversibility which you are proposing. It cannot be true that it isn't problematic because you've ...
I do not reduce the psyche to synaptic processes, so I do not see how this reply is relevant at all. You have in no way addressed the points I made. F...
Another possibility you have not considered, the black thing you saw is not a swan. This is a real possibility, and it is the bigger problem with "see...
This is "The Lounge", rudeness is accepted and expected. I understand that it's all good hearted and meant for improvement, self and other, and I hope...
This is what i disagree with. I think that any instance of the conception of a triangle actually does reduce to a purely psychological act. If you ass...
This is not true. The issue is the way that the specific is related to the generalization, and whether the relationship assumed is logical or illogica...
In my opinion you have this inverted. The value of the square root of the sum of the legs is something indeterminate, a number which cannot be express...
I know, and that's why it's incoherent to say that the sense-datum is what is seen, because seeing necessarily involves what you call "assumptions". W...
That is the proposed equality. When the two legs are proposed as equal, the problem of incommensurability arises. Therefore I propose that we ought to...
It makes no sense to ask that question. Memories and anticipations inhere within, and are necessary to, the act of seeing. Therefore differences in wh...
I did not deny that the Pythagorean theorem tells us anything about right angle triangles. What I clearly said is that it demonstrates to us is that t...
You're missing the point. You are assuming "a picture". But if some of the different interpretations of the supposed "same thing", do include "a pictu...
The Pythagorean theorem makes the two perpendicular lines of a square as in commensurable. This is known as the fact that the square root of two is ir...
I think this is very good, and it is an important aspect of the "sense-data" perspective. We need to look at all acts of sensing as acts of interpreti...
No, the skeptic's doubt is the way toward truth. This is because we tend to accept statements propositions, etc., as true without proper scrutiny. We ...
I am ready for a descriptive explanation, if you care to give it a go. So we agree on this, except maybe terminology, you say "concept", I say "theory...
No, a lab is not natural, it is artificial, and "natural" is defined as not artificial. There are energy loses, therefore the system is not truly clos...
With reference to the title of this thread, "science" in its modern form creates, rather than discovers reality. With this context in mind, we ought t...
You keep referring to "probability waves", but you give absolutely no explanation as to what a probability wave is. So you claim to have a grand theor...
All the particles created in labs are just that, particles created in labs. There is no necessity that anything like these particles might actually ex...
Mist is what you do to house plants who like high humidity but don't get it in the natural setting of a heated house. I don't know about "costed" javi...
This is exactly the point Aristotle made. We can can ask about whether or not the truth about a chosen act precedes the act itself, as if whatever hap...
What do you want me to do, quote all the places where Hume is wrong? Look at his Treatise of Human Understanding Bk 1, Sec 4, part 2 where he discusse...
If you mean the proverbial bear, I don't see how you could poke any proverbial thing. If you really mean "perverted bear", it seems immune to my attem...
Hume displays a slightly faulty way of understanding sensation. He thought that we sense the world to be in a specific condition (like a state of exis...
What I\m talking about is better understood through principles of calculus. The "t=0" represents the limit, and the problem is in approaching the limi...
Of course you recognize that there is an agent involved in such understanding and reasoning. All logic is an activity carried out by an agent. General...
I explained why what's "in the box" is insufficient to account for the complete reality of human experience, and why it is logically necessary to conc...
No, I think that believing in the existence of the world, during deep sleep, is what turns pleasant dreams into nightmares. And believing in the world...
The Forms are prior to what you call "the ordinary world", and it is this priority which makes them more real. The "priority" in this sense, is the se...
I'll put my reply to the last part of your post first punos, just so you can have a better understanding of my position before reading the rest. I thi...
