I think you got it wrong too. Philosophers don't care about the truths and falsity as the answers in the answer sheets. Philosophers are more concerne...
In Philosophy, they tend to analyse concepts and propositions for truth or falsity. That's what they do. End of the story. But maybe the mathematician...
Once you closed eyes and blocked your ears and nose, from the moment, your beliefs and inferences based on your memory of the facts, takes over on the...
Maybe they did. But whatever they saw, equating it to time or spacetime sounds bizarre. It would be a form of totemism in disguise for science. Seeing...
How would you know if something is an entity without knowing what it is? That is not propositional logic. It is an EL (Epistemic Logic) operator which...
"Let us not forget: mathematician's discussions of the infinite are clearly finite discussions. By which I mean, they come to an end." - Philosophical...
Doesn't infinity mean endless? i.e. unreachable eternal continuation in concept? If it was reachable, then it wouldn't be infinity. Any set or size wo...
Sure. But we can see also Quine's point that analytic expressions are meaningless, because the meanings of the words change through time. And most of ...
It seems like some form of superstition. A couple of days ago in one of the new thread here, the OP was claiming that he witnessed the actual wave of ...
Zen would be a knowledge that is impossible to demonstrate due to the nature of the knowledge, which is subjective and intuition based. I have no idea...
It looks like a good name for a function in A.I. programming. You could write more details of procedure in the function specifying the variables, cons...
But what would be the point of the formalised analytic data, if it is only dictionary nature unable to interact with the external world events and inp...
Sure. My point was that in either case, the knowledge is not for demonstrating to public whether you are able to comprehend it or not. Even if you wer...
You are confusing the observation of the wave with time as a substance. Observed motions are not time itself. Nothing is a condition, and something is...
Still doesn't change the fact that it doesn't add any new knowledge or facts into the concept unless it was used with the real world situations or obs...
The standard definition of "Esoteric" is very unusual and understood or liked by only a small number of people, especially those with special knowledg...
Problems with analytic expressions are possible tautology. They tend to repeat what is already contained in the subject of the expressions e.g. "A bac...
It says what it means. It is a simple and clear statement which reflects the nature of time. I am not sure if it needs explanation. M = Motion t = tim...
Time doesn't exist in the actual world. Time is a priori condition for perception and experience in Kant, and I believe it is correct. Changes take pl...
The statement is unclear to be true or false. "This sentence" doesn't indicate which sentence it is describing or declaring about. From the statement,...
Truths is knowledge which is usually hidden away from us according to ancient Greek philosophers. Truth in Greek is Altheia, i.e. something to be reve...
I agree with you that the book's content was very rich, detailed and interesting. It is good that the prediction was wrong. :) It wasn't the book, but...
It is up to them whatever boundary they set for their perceptual capabilities. But you do notice often, they are in deep confusion with the world, and...
:up: Metaphysics is a methodology i.e. the way to look at the world and object, which is "beyond", not apparent and obvious. Metaphysics is not some p...
I recall having an old paperback book called "2012". In the book, the world was supposed to end in 2012, with all the reasons similar to above they li...
It would be a matter of drawing the boundaries for one's perception. Some folks thinks that grammar and meanings are all there is in the world, and th...
OK, that's fair enough. I tried to explain what I think and understand of the concept. As I said, initially it was not a logical concept to me to acce...
Again I am not too familiar with Buddhism, but Absolute Nothingness can be a useful resource or concept for the Buddhists for their aim of of meditati...
I think Absolute Nothingness can be interpreted as a property of Non-being too. Every being is not just a being, but it also encompasses its origin (w...
First time when I came across the concept "Absolute Nothingness", I was like so many other folks here, it is an illogical concept, doesn't make sense,...
It sounds like a coward nonsense uttered by a grumpy old man fearing to give answers he claimed to possess, when asked. That itself is laziness. :chin...
Please back your statement up by clarifying and defining what "to exist" means. Philosophy is about being able to see beyond the things existent, wide...
Was just saying to 180 that, it would be better if each folks who read Spinoza and arrived at their own answers could come out into the open public fo...
Things can be existent, not existent or half existent too. An absence of existence is also an existence. Every existence has its history of existence....
