It sounds like a real tautology here. Saying truth is what is, doesn't say anything meaningful at all. Imagine when someone says to you, I am going to...
You seemed to be confusing some mundane unobserved events with truth. Unobserved events or existence are not in the category of truth. They are just u...
Isn't truth property of our judgement on the world? We cannot call what was unknown as truth when it is hidden. Truth reveals itself aftermath of know...
If you were to think about your thoughts from Metaphysical point of view, then you wouldn't need "P". You would just think about the thought itself i....
Logic and Philosophy are closely interlinked to each other, even if they are different subjects. Logic can analyze some philosophical concepts, statem...
I am not quite sure what you mean by a metaphysical problem. I asked you about it already, but didn't get replies on that point. What is a metaphysica...
We are not saying reality only exists when we observe it. But we are saying we have the parts of the universe we can observe and know them as existing...
Being conscious and having the concept of "I" is the precondition of all mental activities i.e. they are already there as base of your thinking. When ...
I suppose smell, touch and taste are more difficult to think about than sounds or images. We can remember and think about them, but it would be diffic...
When I think, I am thinking in either sentences or images. I cannot think without either of these two elements. When I make statements or propositions...
I don't think you can think about your thinking. Thinking has objects and it is about something. When you say when you think about your thinking, whic...
I don't accept Pansychism either. I don't believe inanimate objects have minds. I don't believe oysters have minds and can experience suffering. It is...
Great explanation. I see your point. Yes, I was talking about the identity which identifies an individual or an entity as denoting or naming. You must...
I agree oysters have properties and essence for being oyster. Likewise stones and golds do too. But I am not sure if oysters have identity. Having ide...
Can something be reality if you don't know what that something is about? Can something be claimed as existence if no one knows what the something is a...
I thought you were discussing about the identity of oysters, hence asked the question. I know what your saying, but questions still remains. Identity ...
Some beauty can be reasoned out via our contemplation, reflection and analysis, and it is definitely reflective thought process which requires time an...
It is an inductive statement with very high probability. You have never seen your heart, but from the empirical fact that all living humans have heart...
I didn't mean to say that parent child relation is only limited to the societal, cultural and linguistic nature. I was pointing out and explaining on ...
I am not sure if 2 is the cause of 1. It is just an adjective word to say that there are 2 things. We were accustomed to the orders of the words, henc...
Ok, there seem to be a lot of interesting points to think about in your post. First of all, 1. What does it mean when Spinoza says substance is the ca...
Having revisited your points, I am still not sure if parent and child relationship could be classed as cause-effect relationship. Because cause and ef...
Does this mean that the parent was caused by the non-parent? Because before the parent became a parent, they were not parent. The parent became parent...
Of course Science is not religion. No one would argue about that. My point was, that the way that Science can mislead the ordinary folks' perception a...
I am definitely aware of my emotions in most times. I can feel happiness when seeing the newly arrived parcels, and when I opened them, the contents i...
Could it be because they are the Kantian oysters? Oysters in themselves are in noumenon. They are not available in the physical world. You can only ea...
You could be right. Reasoned beauties cannot please our brains like the bodily sensory beauties please our bodily organs. Could it be because of the f...
I think we can reason on all the contents of our perception no matter how trivial they are. When you are asked "What does it feel like?", you explain ...
I have thought about this concept again, and it seem to me that beauty could be very much closely related to bodily sensory perceptions, which cause a...
Yes, this is true. Existence is an interesting topic. We could further analyse and discuss on the nature of Existence. If you would open an OP, I woul...
Sure interesting point. You will find different people have different ideas on what being alive means. You have claimed that having the biological bod...
It can be insulting to someone, but the ancients are all dead, and the deads won't mind being called "ignorant". Or maybe they might mind, but they wo...
It seems clear that even if God existed, God doesn't intervene human affairs based on the history of the world and the current affairs on what's happe...
