Well you have agreed with my point succinctly in your post, but then for some mysterious reasons you seem to have changed your mind again. Now I agree...
It seems to be the case, that your reading the original text was not very through or accurate. The academic commentaries are for helping you to unders...
Your idea of mind seem to be coming from some sort of dualism. That's fine. But my idea of mind is based on the mind as a function of body. That means...
It is good that you admit your misunderstanding Moore, and your claim was wrong. :cool: Warnock was a professor of Philosophy, and the book is a good ...
Mind without physical body assumption is not simpler than mind with body, because you must explain on how the mind ended up with no body. How can mind...
I don't think I said to analyze happiness. I said what brings happiness to all parties involved is good. So it was an inferred definition of Good. If ...
Where did Moore say that? From my memory, Moore said it is impossible to define what good is, and one must start from what one ought to do from the kn...
You seem to be unaware of the fact that there are hundreds of different concepts of moral good depending on which theory you are looking at. Whatever ...
The OP is based on the assumption, it claims, but assumptions are only accepted as reasonable and intelligible when it makes sense or is supported by ...
If you read my post again, it would be clear what the concept of moral good is from Aristotle. Good is a quality or property of actions which brings h...
Objectivity is not an issue of someone listening to or seeing one's talking about something. Objectivity means that an idea or proposition is based on...
Just like the world, God is perceived in different ways to mind. When one sees God in his dreams, illusion or hallucination, it is a Mind-Created God....
One example of greed is not a sufficient reason for all pleasure senses to be defined as sin. Pleasure senses are also vital factor in survival for th...
When it is abstract, it must be also intelligible or logical supporting the abstractness. Being abstract, unintelligible and illogical all at once is ...
Some parts of the bible need sensible interpretation using your reasoning. You cannot make up your own subjective claims using the word by word citati...
It sounds like a grammatical mistake in the statement. God doesn't like sin, or God doesn't approve sin sounds more intelligible. Sin is opposite to G...
Begin at looking what brings happiness. Happiness not just for you, but for the others who are involved as well. The idea is from Aristotle. Read Ethi...
I agree with the OP. The division is meaningless, and not really making sense at all. The world can be created by mind, if one sees it via his / her a...
I know what you mean. But I wonder if one could transcend the present time, when one is reading the past original texts. One will always read them fro...
You are well over my pay grade on these concepts. If you think it is worth a topic, and would start its own OP, I would follow the discussion reading ...
The logical analysis so far seems to reveal that my understanding is accurate and clear without any prejudice or distortion on the text. I was suggest...
He briefly doubts his own existence, but then soon he realises that he thinks. He convinces himself that the fact that he thinks proves he exists. The...
He doubted everything even his own existence. But he thought that cogito is the only thing that he cannot doubt. From Cogito, he induced his own exist...
Doubting one's own existence is a self contradiction. One cannot doubt without the preexisting living bodily existence. Doubting one's own existence n...
It is unfortunate that the title of the OP "The Mind-Created World" gives impression, that you are not perceiving the world as is, but you are perceiv...
What do you mean by this? It doesn't sound intelligible, relevant or meaningful for supporting your points. Could you further elaborate with some more...
You are not understanding the past continuous tense was used specifically to indicate, the existence precedes doubting. You seem to be misunderstandin...
Is it not the case, that he must have existed in order to think? Existence is a precondition for thinking. Thoughts without content are meaningless. A...
My point was, for anyone to be able to engage in a logical proof of God, he / she must start with some sort of definition of God. I was expecting you ...
If you insist going back to the times when there is no written records on the theistic studies, then it is not philosophical topic we would be discuss...
If the content of thought is empty or unknown, what meaning or relevance does the thought have with one's own existence on claiming cogito? Whoever is...
C J Jung says, sometimes we need to adopt the principle of enantiodromia on interpreting his writings. In that case, war should be translated to peace...
The point is even if you said, I think therefore I exist, it doesn't say anything about the content of your thought. It is just a linguistic expressio...
I have ordered a copy of the Sallis book, Chorology. Will try have a read on the book, and do some studies on the concept. It seems a bit convoluted c...
How does one reveal one's own contents of thoughts, and make them public? Linguistic expressions are not thoughts themselves. "Whoever thinks must exi...
But all thoughts are private to the thinker. I am only conscious of my thought, and you would be, I reckon, too. If God thinks, is the same category o...
Does it entail then, God thinks (doubts), therefore God exists? But that is not the case from the scientific point of view. I must exist first before ...
But the simple logical reflection seems to suggest otherwise. If I think, then I exist. I think Therefore I exist. (Valid and ambiguous) Cogito must h...
It made my proof more probable, so it is very relevant. Remember no proof is 100% true especially when it is about the existence of God. If the proof ...
I doubt that I exist, therefore I exist. Doubting can also deny own existence, and when it does, it falls into a contradiction. And there is no rule, ...
Thought and doubt have their objects or contents in their operation. The content or object could be anything. What if, the content of the thought was ...
I recall debating on cogito some while ago. My point was cogito has some ambiguous parts. For example, when you say, I think therefore I am. Does it m...
