Whatever. OK I will not try any more clarification with you. I hope you will understand the points, and learn about it.

Soul is supposed to be a separate entity from body, and acclaim to survive after death of body, I understand. But mind has no physical entity. It just...
March 13, 2024 at 13:51
The religious folks believe in the existence of souls, not the minds with intelligence reasoning and intuitions. You are conflating the two. They are ...
March 13, 2024 at 13:36
I was just pointing out and making clear that your insistence that "Everyone knows mind emerges from brain is wrong." I believe that your claim was wr...

When someone says "Everyone turned up this morning." You can't say he was wrong because Elvis Presley, Immanuel Kant, Joe Biden, Vladmir Putin and Xie...

Everyone knows P. In that sentence "Everyone" has no existential instance even in logic. It is a universal quantifier pronoun for further inducing any...

Talking about true things and truths doesn't verify that they had real concept of truth. It just means that they were expressing their psychological s...

Unhidden and unconcealment was the Etymology, and concrete existence opposed to mere appearance or beliefs is Epistemology. Today's concept of truth i...

Truth in ancient Greek meant concrete existence opposed to mere appearance or beliefs. In Plato truth was not available in the material world, but tru...

:up: This is an interesting topic. It seems to prove that humans had both irrational and rational aspect in their mental states from the start of the ...

Can all religious faiths and practices be classed as superstition?
March 12, 2024 at 13:58
Which ancient peoples do you mean? Any particular names in the history of philosophy?
March 12, 2024 at 11:46
Initially when you were describing about the being, I thought you were talking about some other being than yourself. But from your post above, it appe...

Interesting. German speakers would definitely be more advantageous for reading all the German philosophical textbooks in German. Once I tried to read ...
March 12, 2024 at 10:10
So trying to explain in logical terms didn't make any difference. Well good luck in keep demanding admittance of wrong from anyone you engage in disco...
March 11, 2024 at 13:31
How can anyone converse normally with you who cannot understand what "everyone" means in ordinary language expression, and demanding admittance of wro...
March 11, 2024 at 13:29
It seems clear that you lost your plot. It is a waste of time posting to your replies. All the best.
March 11, 2024 at 13:23
No point telling you when you refuse to understand anything.
March 11, 2024 at 13:19
How can a sophist and sceptic know the other's mind? You still haven't answered where the mind comes from.
March 11, 2024 at 13:18
You are being a sophist as well as sceptic.
March 11, 2024 at 13:16
I will say what I believe as true. You cannot say to others "Don't say it".
March 11, 2024 at 13:15
All I was saying was that your judgement seem to be based on your inability in understanding the ordinary language expression.
March 11, 2024 at 13:13
You are free to disagree, but it is not done thing to demand admitting wrong from anyone.
March 11, 2024 at 13:12
Well it is your problem not understanding ordinary linguistic expressions. How could I help you? You brining out the statistic figures make your claim...
March 11, 2024 at 13:09
So if mind is not generated from the brain, where is it from?
March 11, 2024 at 13:06
You just seem to blindly trust and follow anything statistics or some gibberish in the internet, and try to claim that they are the truths. It is just...
March 11, 2024 at 13:06
I don't subscribe to any statistics. It means nothing to me I am afraid.
March 11, 2024 at 13:03
In all the sciences, math and philosophy, they all pursue for the knowledge which is true for generality. But you bring out some minority claims of th...
March 11, 2024 at 13:00
Everyone who are reasonable knows that mind generates from the brain.
March 11, 2024 at 12:56
I have explained it you, but you seem neither try to read my explanation nor try to understand it. You just kept on saying wrong wrong wrong, admit wr...
March 11, 2024 at 12:50
People use "Everyone" "Anyone" to say the majority of people or really anyone in the figure of speech all the time. It just means that it is widely ac...
March 11, 2024 at 12:38
If you were genuinely philosophically asking about it, you would have asked "What do you mean by Everyone?", and gave me a chance to explain about it....
March 11, 2024 at 12:34
By the way, I was going to ask you, what do time and space have got to do with consciousness in Kant?
March 11, 2024 at 12:26
My point on mind is that it is property of lived life and experiences in the world interacting with the other minds. The property being able to exerci...
March 11, 2024 at 12:12
Good point. I will try to read on the concept of Self in Kant, and see what he had to say.
March 10, 2024 at 11:32
No, you just wrote saying that there are the other folks who don't know, and saying "Everyone knows" is wrong, therefore I must admit incorrect. You e...
March 10, 2024 at 11:29
Yes, this is the question you should have asked. You are giving a logical opportunity for further clarification and limitation to the concept "everyon...
March 10, 2024 at 10:31
Does "everyone" mean then, everyone who ever lived in the past, is living at present, or will live in the future, or totality of the all the folks who...
March 10, 2024 at 10:22
You have been insisting to admit that I was incorrect. But the fact is that you don't seem to know a very basic knowledge in First-Order Logic. "Every...
March 10, 2024 at 10:20
It is difficult to imagine anyone insisting "everyone" must mean the whole population in the universe. It doesn't exist, it is vague and obscure, and ...
March 10, 2024 at 10:15
Please read the above post again, and think before posting.
March 10, 2024 at 10:12
I am only responding to your posts addressed to me. Not wasting time as such. I was just telling you that your understanding is not correct, and your ...
March 10, 2024 at 10:01
Well, I have even given you a clear and detailed explanation what "Everyone" can imply in logical sense with the advice not to be too restrictive in y...
March 10, 2024 at 09:57
No, that would be an unwise act of digging down yourself into further below into the darkness of the cave. How can anyone admit being incorrect withou...
March 10, 2024 at 09:52
If they want to insist that the whole universe is conscious, then it would only make sense, if they also stipulate the condition that there are differ...
March 10, 2024 at 09:45
You shouldn't be too naive to presume that "everyone" strictly means the whole population in the universe anyway. "Everyone" is a pronoun with the uni...
March 10, 2024 at 09:40
I can't quite follow or agree with their ideas then. The prime sign of possessing consciousness and mind for a being is demonstrations of its linguist...
March 09, 2024 at 21:57
I think his point is that aletheia in ancient Greek meaning is different from modern day meaning of truth. I will read the article again when I am fre...

It was from an article called "Plato and Aristotle on Truth and Falsehood" by Jan Szaif, 2018 OUP. He says due to the fact it is difficult to translat...
