Depending on the arguments, yes it could establish some conclusions on the topic, I would imagine.

I never said anything troubled me. I was just asking about your definition of the concept of experience you were using.

They are totally separate matter. My confidence in anything doesn't have any relevance in the arguments.

I am agnostic, but interested in reading about either positive or negative arguments for the proof of existence.

If you could prove your premise "If~", then it would help clarifying your conclusion "then"~. Does God exist? Is he the creator of the world? Please p...

Not sure, but it was my question to you from your earlier post. Remember your earlier post?

But what did God actually do? Do you have any evidence that God had done something?

So you divide the world into apparent and ultimate reality. So, you are not denying the biological sensibility independent world as non-existence. Yes...

Experience can be a vague concept too. What is your definition of experience? Can you experience experience?

If I pinched you, and you screamed "ouch", then your utterance of "ouch" is not the idea of "ouch". It is a motor-system response, which is the biolog...

There are different types of ideas. 1. Subjective 2. Objective 3. Platonic

I recall that you started the deviation by putting down "the idea idea", then claiming the word of ouch reflects the idea of ouch, which fell off the ...

You are in deep confusion on the utterance of Ouch as a motor reaction of the verbal expression as a representation of the mental state. Your utteranc...

Then what is the formal definition of "Synthetic" in expressions? Are expressions correct here? Should they not be propositions or judgements?

The word "ouch" reflects the idea of "ouch" sounds illogical. Words are uttered by the speaker, and it has no ability to perform reflection or conside...

Great post. Thank you for your substantial post on the light and wave reflection mechanism for visual perception. It is a good argument with no compli...

Nope. Ideas can mean mental images too. And even when an idea is a word, they are different. Words would be for speaking or writing. Ideas are the con...

Why did you write down a meaningless gibberish?

Why did you write the "idea" twice? "the idea idea"? Why did you do that? I was having the idea of the tree which was cut down this summer. The tree n...

Does he disregard justified "belief" as a ground for truth?

The circular reasoning is also an idea.

Descartes' certainty of knowledge comes from his doubting. Without doubting, no knowledge. Whenever there is a reason to doubt, don't hesitate to doub...

Can one know what cat is without ever having seen an actual cat?

Having seen the cat in the living room, I could come out of the living room, shut the door, and I can still say those statements from my memory withou...

Could it be the same meaning as "There is a cat in my living room right now." or "A cat is in my living room right now." or "A cat exists in my living...
