Plato's original texts had been written in archaic Greek, which even Greek folks living now don't understand unless they study the archaic language. S...

This is my brief understanding on Schopenhauer. The only way we can access and interact with the world is via our Will. Our will is supported by intel...

The world don't care about us, and it goes its own ways. But we do what we can.

Materialism is a way to interpret the world. Realism is also an interpretation suppose, but it includes and emphasizes on the direct action, and inter...
March 04, 2025 at 15:27
No. It is called realism.

Faith itself doesn't do anything, It is just beliefs on something. To move mountains, you must hire some cranes and bulldozers, and dig them out with ...

Nonexistence is also existence.
March 04, 2025 at 14:36
Listening is an empirical sensation, but the judgement on the listened music as normal or not normal is a mental operation from the innate capacity. N...

Fair enough. Existence seems to be an ambiguous concept. X exists, can mean many different things. X doesn't exist, doesn't mean X is denied. Time doe...
March 04, 2025 at 14:14
Why not? Even the ancient Greek folks mentioned on the existence of time. When did I say I denied anything? I have been just asking questions to vario...

Of course all comparison needs criteria for what is norm. If not, how can you compare anything? Well, if you played the above 2x recordings to someone...
March 04, 2025 at 13:43
Well usually faith is motive for actions for some practices aiming to achieve something or know something. But some folks don't have that for their be...

What does Meinong say about the existence of time?
March 04, 2025 at 13:26
I wonder if you are familiar with Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven song. If you are, then the above recordings will demonstrate that they sound total...
March 04, 2025 at 13:20
That sounds like hallucination rather than faith. Faith is also underlying motive for the actions aiming at certain achievements or enlightenment. Fai...

Knowledge requires verification and evidence for its validity. When the object or existence under investigation is lacking such requirements, but stil...

How do you know slowed or fastened reproduction of the music is not normal? I was pointing out, it is a priori concept of temporality in our minds whi...
March 04, 2025 at 09:40
Could faith be irrational and unjustified beliefs? Rational and justified beliefs are knowledge.
March 04, 2025 at 09:36
I wasn't talking about difference in perception of live music performance and reproduction of the music from the records. I was only talking about the...
March 03, 2025 at 15:11
Yes, I agree. But still I was talking about how the different speed of the same music reproduced via the recordings will be noticed by the listener as...
March 03, 2025 at 14:32
Sure. Good point. However, what you are talking about seems to be the reproduction of music theory. My point was more on the perceptual aspects of the...
March 03, 2025 at 12:22
Compare that with the normal speed version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cKiM1JvPdA
March 03, 2025 at 11:59
Music played faster or slower speed than the original version will sound not right. Nothing is different than the speed of the playing in the music im...

The OP started with little assumption and open mindedness on the definitions, because it is known to be historically abstract and contentious topic. I...
March 03, 2025 at 09:31
Professor Donald Hoffman and Rupert Spira discussions above were really clear and good explanations on the topic. I was totally enthralled by the clar...

Happened with Kant's CPR. Tried start reading the original texts, but they were hard to bite in with convoluted archaic writing styles and word meanin...

If you mean by universe as some physical entity, then I am not sure where you can find space and time. You see the objects and objects in movements, c...

Hume makes clear statement on the definition of ideas in his Treatise and Enquiries too. Impressions are sensations which first appear into our minds ...
March 02, 2025 at 13:43
Hume distinguishes ideas from impressions, and the rest of perceptions too. Ideas are faint copies of the matching impressions. Only ideas work under ...

Another good video on Time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpyXVkqkQgg

The book "Subjective Time" arrived, and the 1st chapter starts with the excerpt from "The Principle of Psychology" by William James. James starts the ...
March 02, 2025 at 11:46
The OP is about existence prior to predicate, and existence is closely linked to space and time in some of the definitions, hence we were trying to cl...
March 02, 2025 at 09:29
Good point. But when the actual text is abstruse, preliminary readings on the academic commentaries and even ChatGPT sessions do help accessing the te...

:ok: Found an info page on Chora (Khora) in Wiki, which looks good. I am sure you must have seen the page if your main interest is Plato's philosophy....
March 01, 2025 at 23:40
It was more to hear about your own view on the point. That sounds a daft statement. The basics of cosmology, and the whole the other subjects are on t...
March 01, 2025 at 20:56
Great video. Thank you for the info. Much appreciated. :pray: :cool: I was really inspired to see someone who has a similar ideas to mine on the topic...
March 01, 2025 at 20:46
Isn't sensing via impressions, and the matching ideas for thoughts, reasoning and reflective analysis in Hume? So, there is a clear division between t...
March 01, 2025 at 20:41
We can guess about anything before we existed. But it neither can be proved nor disapproved. :up:
March 01, 2025 at 10:52
Many important philosophers in history and the contemporary physics folks view time as emergent properties from human mind.
March 01, 2025 at 10:42
But in Hume, reflection and inspection on perceived ideas are also perceptions. Every mental event is perception. Think of a security camera monitorin...

Where in the universe, are space and time contained?
March 01, 2025 at 01:11
Sounds like an irrelevant word dug up from ChatGpt. Revisiting Hume, it seems the case that he is not saying that we perceive movements via the sliced...
March 01, 2025 at 01:10
Earth or electron are not good example for physical here. Because as you have seen, they are not directly perceptible objects, which easily confuse yo...
February 28, 2025 at 21:43
Could the quantum universe be in a possible world? Or would it be a legitimate existence in the universe? You mentioned about "the World Soul". What i...

None of the definitions of existence mentions on space and time. Are being in space and time not important factors for objects qualifying as existence...

You need to demonstrate if physical objects change on their own. Or at least explain, what you mean by that statement.
February 28, 2025 at 17:00
Earth is off-topic for this thread. The topic is "Physical cannot be the cause of its own change".
February 28, 2025 at 16:57
I never said that. You are saying it. :D I have faith in the folks with rational minds and claims.
