Science needs philosophy. Philosophy doesn't need science. No philosophers will go out in the white gown, and conduct experiments and tests and measur...

We know them, and use them. But to say they are real can be problem in logical sense. You need to make clear in what sense "real" is real. Philosophy ...

If your knowledge is based on your conscious and subconscious mind just woke up from sleep, no doubt that you are in full of confusion and illusions. ...
February 26, 2025 at 14:37
Because you are mixing psychology and physics in philosophical debates in random and chaotic fashion, it seems to be creating confusion and illusion i...
February 26, 2025 at 14:32
It wasn't denying. It was just a clarification saying , that they are irrelevant to philosophical debates.
February 26, 2025 at 14:30
But are the continuous movements possible without perception? All movements, motions and objects are only meaningful and possible, when perceived via ...
February 26, 2025 at 14:16
Conscious or subconscious mind is actually psychological concepts. They are irrelevant to knowledge or reasoning. So Hume was right not to say a lot a...
February 26, 2025 at 13:49
But if you don't trust your own perception, then where does your knowledge come from? Is your knowledge based on your imagination and blind faith?
February 26, 2025 at 13:24
Continuity is another idea which is generated from each single separate impressions and ideas of the movement. It is an idea, which cannot be divided ...
February 26, 2025 at 13:13
Interesting point. But think of the old movies shot by 8mm camera with the roll films. The movement in the film is made of each single still image. Wh...

But there was no change of the baseball of S1 at t1 (5PM), and S2 at t2(10PM) as seen by the observation. How do you explain that? Time passed, but th...

Kant's original texts in English seem to have some parts with ambiguous translations dating back 100 years, which can cause ambiguities and difficulti...
February 26, 2025 at 11:08
It sounds like Chora does things, moves, changes, generates imbued with souls and lives on, like God creates and time flows, but it may not exist in t...
February 26, 2025 at 10:27
A valid point. We use lexicon and analytic philosophy as a tool for clarification of ambiguous words or sentences in the arguments. But they are just ...
February 26, 2025 at 10:25
Some intelligible scientists and philosophers already have been talking about nonexistence of time. Hume was also saying time doesn't exist. Could the...

I got my baseball out, and put it on the desk at 5 PM. Now 10 PM, 5 hours later, nothing changed. The baseball has not changed at all 5 hours later. N...

Isn't EPP, Existence Prior to Predication? Hence it is a type of existence such as unicorn or dragon. We can describe how they might look, and they ha...
February 25, 2025 at 23:31
Just ordered a book on time. It is filled with various articles by 30 different academic contributors. It is called "Subjective Time: The Philosophy, ...
February 25, 2025 at 19:59
Fairdos. I am still thinking, and try to perceive time. But time is not perceivable like the other objects around me. I still use time, and tell the t...
February 25, 2025 at 19:16
We should go back to Kant. "We dispute all claim of time to absolute reality , namely where it would attach to things absolutely as a condition or pro...

Thoughts appear and disappear in the mind. Thoughts also causes actions to perform. Thoughts are not visible. but they are the most intimate form of m...

That's not electron. They are pixels of lights. Fair do's, mate.

February 25, 2025 at 17:51
None of that says anything about existence of electron, and what it looks like. They are all manipulated in the laboratories using the measuring instr...
February 25, 2025 at 17:48
Can any objects be EPP, or only certain category or types of objects can be EPP? What objects belong to the EPP?
February 25, 2025 at 15:12
But if something is real and exists, then it must be visible, touchable and has smells and textures. I have never seen electrons anywhere in the unive...
February 25, 2025 at 14:26
It is no good to use Physics or Math as some sort of authority to push your ideas in the arguments. You will be blinded in the sea of illusion when do...
February 25, 2025 at 13:59
We don't need physics to know what chair is made of. It is a commonsense knowledge. You know what it is made of, just by looking at it :) No we are no...
February 25, 2025 at 13:41
You need to ditch physics in order to arrive to real truths. :) You are confusing electron and electricity. They are different. If you don't know what...
February 25, 2025 at 13:32
I read D1, and you now added "electron" for your physical in S1 and S2. Does electron exist? Can you prove electron exist? How do you know electron is...
February 25, 2025 at 13:06
Subjectivity is the principle which relies on one's own perception and reasoning for the knowledge of the world in understanding. In subjective mind, ...
February 25, 2025 at 10:53
A place or extension didn't quite make sense to me either. I chose the topic to study in order to understand Plato better, but perhaps it was a wrong ...
February 25, 2025 at 10:38
No surprise. Analytic philosophy cannot cross over the dictionary meanings of words, suppose. Good idea. I am not well read on Plato, and even on the ...
February 25, 2025 at 09:25
Time flows, but it doesn't have to exist. It is like God. God creates, but God doesn't have to exist. Time flows. Space doesn't flow. Therefore they a...
February 25, 2025 at 09:16
For example, what single change are you thinking of or talking about? Again, any examples for the mind causing change in the physical?
February 24, 2025 at 14:31
You need to explain what causes your body get old. It seems the case that your body causes your body itself to get old.
February 24, 2025 at 14:08
Your physical body itself is the cause for the body change. You are born, you live, and you get old. Your body caused itself to get old. Correct?
February 24, 2025 at 12:21
Wow an old thread, almost forgotten, but nice to see it back. Thank you for your reply. Interesting point. I used to interpret the classic philosopher...
February 24, 2025 at 11:40
I fully agree and support your point here. I will be joining the policy, not to waste time talking about anti philosophical nonsenses.
February 24, 2025 at 11:15
I agree with the view. Again your point is inline with my point here, although not exactly the same ideas as mine, as you pointed out. I tried hard to...
February 24, 2025 at 11:09
What do you mean by the duration of time? We are talking about time here. Duration of time sounds unclear. What is the relationship between duration a...
February 24, 2025 at 01:57
Prove it. Tell us what time is first.
February 24, 2025 at 01:48
You confirmed that you don't know anything about time. Remember your own posting? Past what? What has passed? Words themselves don't mean much. They h...
February 24, 2025 at 01:41
Then to say," time exists" and "movement requires time." are groundless claims. Only if you further clarify what you meant by it. A word itself doesn'...
February 24, 2025 at 00:52
I asked you but you never answered. Where did time come from, if not invented? That is archive of the post, not the past itself. It is just a word. It...
February 24, 2025 at 00:20
So how did rocks fall down from the hill to the river before invention of time? Can you access the past? Is the word "passed" useful for time value? T...
February 23, 2025 at 23:44
It wasn't about definition of movement. It was a statement that movement happens without time. Mover doesn't care about time, but still moves. But you...
February 23, 2025 at 23:22
If movement was from human or animals, then the mover don't care about time for movement. Mover still moves. Movement still happens. Caring was a bit ...
February 23, 2025 at 23:06
Movement doesn't care about time, but it still happens. You get the time value when you measure it with the stop watch. What do you know about time? P...
February 23, 2025 at 22:52
If you only measure it. We are talking about time here. What is something? Wrong answer. Not talking about me here. The question was if you don't know...
