Corvus

What would be your ways of revolting against death?

When the posters suddenly change the subject in the middle of discussing on the points or topics, or make emotional or unclear statements or utterance...

I think it is not one reality. Reality is on its own in a closed box of the owner's mind only free in its own imagination and thoughts like the monads...

I was born as "Corvus", and Cheshire was born as "Cheshire". It is not a very meaningful answer, because it is a causal explanation of the origin of i...

"why" questions can only be asked meaningfully in the situations where answers come from either one's psychological state or motivation or physical ca...

If you desperately want the explanation based on psychoanalysis, it is an attempt to hide the ignorance with crude juvenile proverbs.

That sounds like a babytalk.

I reject the expression. Not really relevant.

Pseudo-science is a fully established formal concept in Philosophy of Science.

Nonsense to you could be meaningful statements, proposition or belief to others.

Looks like a really interesting video. Only watched first 8 minutes, but sounds inspiring. I am always interested in some new or different view point ...

Sure. Religious faith is a personal system arrived by personal intuition, insights and beliefs. No logic to prove anything is required.

Statements need verification to be true. Existence is the precondition for thoughts and actions. No existence, then no thoughts and no actions.

Thanks for reconfirmation. It sounds new and fresh concepts no matter how many times I go over them :D

Does God belong to the thing-in-itself in Kant? Maybe yes maybe not. What type of objects actually are classed / regarded as the thing-in-itself? Or i...

My solipsism informs that your statement is not true. Because for a statement to be true, it must have happened in reality. It has not happened in rea...

I looked down, and saw my feet. I looked up, and saw the ceiling. I looked straight at you, and there was a computer screen. Where are you?

Well, the lesson is that sentences also carry emotions, not just meanings. What was radiating from the OP was a sense of confusion and panic. I steppe...

Well the OP sounded like the author was in deep confusion. Because you were talking about - the world is limited and the infants don't have their worl...

Sure. Great points. Thanks. :fire: :up:

I thought about it, and this is what I feel. If you say, the origin of knowledge is the sensory organs, then it would be like saying, the origin of ph...

and Philosophy is the coolest subject in the universe. :)

There might be afterlife, who knows? When we philosophise and read many books, and make us wiser, we might be back to the earth with wiser minds, newl...

Great point. I used to think in terms of, how can sense experience ever happen without the material world? It will be just empty space we will be faci...

Empirical idealism, to me, sounds like a contradictory concept. Empirical means from out in the material world, and idealism means from within mind. B...

Death is a total cease of the being and being as an existence in this world, which includes the being's conception, perception and all the mental acti...

Logic can be a little help at times, but its capability is limited for dealing with the real world and life problems in logical manner. Perhaps and ph...

I got a funny feeling that I might had seen you before. :chin:

If the brain in the vat was given the faculty of reasoning, then it will keep doubting about itself. Sooner or later, it will find out, that something...

You are very welcome. In the OP, I was under the impression that you were in deep confusion with the understanding of Wittgenstein's quotes and his ph...

It is not about the ontology of the world, but the whole point is Wittgenstein's ideas about the relation of language to the world.

That is not physically or materially "outside". It means "not possibly described by". Or over the limitation of linguistically describable.

Could you elaborate on that please?

"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world" does not mean that he denies the existence of the real world outside of the linguistic world. ...

There have been some materialists in the ancient times, but they were just a few individuals scattered here and there, and in the pre socratic times. ...

Great info and the links. Thanks. :fire: :up:

Would esotericism, fortune telling (astrology and tarot card readings) and magical rituals in the cult and pagan religions come under mysticism?

yeah, I heard that Norman Kemp Smith is the de facto Kant scholar, but he is also well known for his works on Hume and Descartes I believe. Not sure o...

The 1929 1st edition must be super rare copy to find these days. :up:

I was thinking about it, and I feel they communicate with what looks like emotional language. They definitely do communicate, but their language is no...

wow nice full copy of CPR !! Thank you. I also have ordered a 1950 hb copy of CPR translated by NK Smith printed by Macmillan, and it is on the way to...

Sure. Great post thanks :fire: I will embark on CPR reading soon, and your posts are going to be good foundation for the read. :up:

I don't believe words have essence. Words have meanings which are contingent, traditional and empirical, and people use them by the rules and learning...

Are they not the activities that people do for fun and leisure mostly (well some do for money - but the fun factor still there) using their mind and b...

It would depend on what subjects they are. Science and Politics have moved on. Literature, Art, Psychology and Philosophy are timeless.

Any examples of them? I used to understand The "Thing-in-Itself" was impossible for us to know or perceive with out sensical perception. Could we then...

"The Plague" will remind you the Pandemic we have had. A great work of Camus.

I used to read Camus, Beckett and some Sartre.

Would logical I belong to the category of Thing-in-Self? It is not a perceptible and not a describable condition for Think. Not sure if the objects in...

I can see the point too. Many great authors have never received prestigious literary awards.
