So where have the debris and dusts all gone after the BB? It must have gone somewhere. You are not postulating some gigantic divine recycling depot so...

Trust your intuition, not the youtube videos :)

Wasn't the Hubble a mobile telescope in the space? If there were big bang, there would have been no Hubble. They wouldn't be able to see anything thro...

It is just a simple common sense WF. You don't need to consult an expert for that, I would imagine :D I think you under estimated how large the univer...

If there were bing bang to create the size of the universe, then the explosion would have created immense amount of debris and dusts, which would stil...

Isn't the CPR partly about to demonstrate how the a priori can yield knowledge of the independently real (Kant's letter to Herz 1772, cf. NKS) thus pr...

Can I time travel?

Isn't big bang a scientific religion?

Never say never. :D

Søren Kierkegaard was a total lone individual facing God, and in communication with the divine being in his house, reading the Bible, praying, meditat...

Principle was listed far behind in connection to logos in the dictionary suggesting that it is not usual usage or connection. I have not come across p...

There are some child prodigies who can do high level calculus. Sure the tribe people must have had very simple life style, for which they only needed ...

Will follow your reading group. :)

The Critique of Pure Reason by I. Kant I have the Guyer, NKS and Max Muller translation version. I prefer the MM version best for clarity of the trans...

Got the same book. Looks an interesting book well written. If you start a reading group with it, will follow.

Being religious does not mean that one has to be tied to churches or temples or any organisations. One can be perfectly and rightly religious just sit...
August 20, 2021 at 11:19
Sure, it could be just their own opinion or experience. I can understand that. And in reality, there must have been such cases in some part of the wor...
August 20, 2021 at 10:47
The problem is that the insufficient evidence to support them doesn't follow that all of them are wrong, irrational, pathological or dangerous. Maybe ...

Again, Augustine is a person who lived in the ancient or medieval times. I am not sure if we could take 100% of what the text is saying as infallible ...
August 20, 2021 at 10:19
Some religious people ....not all. It it irrational to say "All religious people are such and such..." or without the quantifier "Some", but to say "R...

Just looked up my Dictionary of Philosophy for "Logos". It says - Greek, statement, principle, law, reason, proportion. It derived from the verb "lego...

I don't watch TV, or read the news at all lately, so am not aware of the current affairs of the world. I just read the old books whenever have some fr...

Logic, maths, deductive knowledge don't need experience. 1+1 = 2. You know it instantly without having to experience anything. All humans are mortal S...

I don't understand this text, but will try to decipher what it is trying to imply. To me, reason is a human faculty of mind, not something existing ou...

I don't deny animals posses some degree of intelligence based on instinct, but wouldn't call it reasoning. Reasoning is ability to operate logics, mat...
August 19, 2021 at 14:20
Here we agree again on the fundamental points in philosophy. This is through our pure universal reasoning processes. I salute ~ :grin: :pray:
August 19, 2021 at 14:11
It is not just language, but also maths, logic and all deductive knowledge and thinkings, which are the main aspects reason is in charge of.
August 19, 2021 at 13:39
I think what animals do for their survival is their instincts, not reasoning. The logos original meaning is for language.
August 19, 2021 at 13:36
Reason for all things is in the universe, because humans explained them via observation, analysis and theorising.
August 19, 2021 at 13:33
Sure. This is a huge topic, and I am sure there is plenty of online information for it. But what I normally take their meanings for are, Reason is uni...
August 19, 2021 at 13:25
I didn't say that you did. I was just saying in general, not pointing to anyone in particular. Sorry if it was not clear.
August 19, 2021 at 11:56
Sure. If you think so, then present it as arguments and back it up with reasoning and logic, rather than saying they are bad and stupid. Simply saying...
August 19, 2021 at 11:27
I feel that it is not philosophical arguments just to keep saying religion is bad, god is bad, the empty concepts and religious people are stupid, som...

I am one of the emotivist, who believes that morality depends on people's emotion, like from G.E. Moore ( https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moore/). ...
August 18, 2021 at 17:03
I have never commented on morality along with religion in my life taking sides one way or the other. My point was, some concepts are inexplicable, and...
August 18, 2021 at 16:43
Why do you call it stupid? The reply was tailored exactly to the level of the questions asked, so that it could be understandable to the questioner.
August 18, 2021 at 16:32
It sounds like some bitter power hungry poisonous declaration against political enemies. We have been only engaging in a philosophical debate. What cl...
August 18, 2021 at 16:30
Why do concepts have to be filled? If one is gagging for honest logic (whatever that is), and insisted concept must be filled with something, then the...

Reason is unique to human beings. It is also a priori. You don’t learn the reason a posteriori. That is empirical learning. So you seem to be confused...

Can intuition have contents? I often hear about thoughts and sensations have contents, but never came across contents of intuition. Things are suppose...

If one picks out all the bad and negative bits from the past, present from some tiny parts of the whole world, and predicts the future, then it is nat...

For my replies to the OP, 1. I think religion should be a personal matter. It is not something to be forced down to anyone's throat saying, this is go...

I think Derrida said that the true origin of the message in any book is in the intention of the authors' mind, and speech is a copy of the intention, ...
August 18, 2021 at 09:29
Sure. I agree with your point. I have never looked at the Bible as a religious text only. Psalm is a great ancient poetry, and Job is a very interesti...
August 17, 2021 at 22:14
I think interpretations of the Bible are bound to be subjective, and different to each individual. In that sense, it could be classed as the existenti...

Perception is a precondition of existence. You don't need my perceiving you to be able to exist. You exist on your own self, because you just do. Same...
