You apply the thoughts onto the physical world i.e. typing, measuring, hammering, drilling, and driving ... etc. You have ideas how to use and manipul...
I had thoughts, but I wouldn't say the thought existed. You cannot use "exist" on the abstract concepts. Well you could, just like you have done, but ...
So what do you think it means to you when someone said "100", or when you saw a writing on the wall "100" apart from the fact that it is a even number...
We know, have them in our mind, and use numbers to describe the physical objects in the world. Numbers don't exist like the physical objects. Numbers ...
Buddha was a royal dude in his country where he was born. He had everything i.e. money, power, luxury of life and thousands around him to do things fo...
It seems clear that Schopenhauer was strongly influenced by Kant's idealism and transcendental philosophy as well as Buddhism. I gather he had written...
I too, have been trying to get some clarification on the OP, which has some unclear parts. But it seems clear, that the author of the OP, @clearbury k...
I am not trying to make you follow me. I am just saying there are some questions rising from the OP, and further your assertions, which are getting mo...
This can happen in real life all the time, and is just a fact of life and reality. All things has positive sides, but also negative sides. It depends ...
Fully agree with you. That was my whole point. Plus the sense of moral good changes from / to different cultures, and different historical times. The ...
Good point. This is where Kant's practical reason comes in. Kant says that you know by human nature what morally good acts are in your heart and mind....
The more you try to prove the PSR is valid, the more it seems to be the case it is invalid, unsound and false due to the false premises being used in ...
I thought it was an extremely barmy attempt trying to define the undefinable spewing out loads of meaningless gibberish. :) Great to have an agreement...
I am not sure if these reasoning prove the PSR is valid. Because there are cases, water can kill folks. Think of the cases such as flood, drowning or ...
I am not sure if humans survived because food is beneficial. There are some food which is lethal to some humans due to its allergic reactions causing ...
This sounds like a contradiction. Surely PSR doesn't allow contradictions for the conclusions. These are just repeating the same thing for what had be...
Isn't it the case that good cannot be defined in morality? Only the human actions are good, neutral or evil. But good itself is a word for property of...
The question does not answer itself. It implies that mind without body is an unintelligible assumption, which generates the vacuous assertion. It asks...
Doesn't it then disapprove what you are claiming? Gravity is a force when the high mass pulls any mass lower than the high mass. But the light bends a...
Why not solipsism with the mind in a body, or mind and body? You keep emphasising on simplicity, but simplicity can degenerate into the vacuous assert...
Isn't reason a product of human mind? Reasons don't exist out there in the external world. There are only matter, energy and changes in the world. Rea...
I know other people's consciousness exist by my perception of their bodies, language they speak which reflects their thought contents, feelings, emoti...
This is not true. This is your distortion on my point. I wrote about "happiness is not good, but what brings happiness is good". That doesn't mean hap...
You need the concrete logical arguments with evidence based on the rational reasoning to put forward your ideas. But if you deny the logic and reasoni...
This sounds incredibly obtuse and irrelevant. My point was defining good wouldn't make one morally good, or more morally sensitive person. Rather, bei...
Happiness is a state of mind, which is the purpose of life. This idea is from Aristotle, which inspired me to follow. My point is simple, and precise....
It was a bit disappointing to see your reaction rejecting my replies outright without much substance on your counter argument, and your uncorroborated...
You seem to have some fixed ideas of your own on all these questions. But you asked the questions just for the question begging purposes, it appears. ...
I was explaining to your question. When you say good actions make you happy, then the good actions were the cause for your happiness. You can be happy...
If it is good to do things that make you happy, then you are good to be happy. There are many different ways good can be used. You seem to be trying t...
Yes I disagree. The horse want to have a free run by himself in the field, but you keep insisting putting the cart onto him. Good cannot be found unti...
You are still missing the point. I never said happiness is Good. I said, actions which brings happiness is Good. I thought my point in my previous pos...
OK, it is not an important point anyway. Just was trying to clarify the murky points you raised in this thread. It is not the main focus of this OP ei...
I found my old copy PE, and had a quick scan of the book. Moore says something like this, "Who right minded folk would ask what Good is unless for lex...
Another problem with disembodied mind is that, it is devoid of all the sensory perceptions, which is the source of thoughts, feelings and sensations o...
