I do realise the importance of the concepts and definitions in philosophy, - clarifying and reflecting analysing, and inventing the new (if needed). I...
Some classic psychology such as Jung's, is almost a mysticism, not science. I think psychology is useful for philosophy for looking at the concepts an...
Mother of all inferiority complex is from someone who describes other people or other peoples' writings as stupid on the basis of solely groundless pe...
This is the limitation of the symbolic logic. They dictate that every argument must fit into some set forms. But most arguments in real life do not fi...
Sure. You can say whatever you want. You are a grown up adult responsible for your own acts and sayings and decisions. Only thing I was saying is that...
You started this argument, not me. I am just responding to your arguments. It doesn't matter whether you said she was stupid or what she said was stup...
oh, you misunderstood again. I never said that is ontology. Please read the post again. I said, if you said X is a book, then it is possible to find t...
Ontology just means the study of the way things exist either in material or mental world, nothing sophisticated or complicated. Have you read any phil...
It is not strawman at all. Again your private psychological judgement from your closed point of view. I am just responding to the parts which I feel I...
The inference was drawn from your comment about the Informal Logic and Critical Thinking books. The books cover wide range of topics to be dealt by th...
Could it be the case that Philosophy asks and seeks - what is it? how can we know about it?, while Psychology asks, and explains how it affects us, an...
There is a huge philosophical and logical difference when you say, X is stupid. and X is a book. X is stupid means your feeling about X, not factual o...
If you read a couple of old symbolic logic books, and take all the narrow concepts from there, judge other people based on the symbolic logic book aut...
If you had read anything philosophical in your life, should you not allow that other people could have different opinions about anything of their own?...
It sounds too harsh to describe someone stupid just by reading her few lines of the book reviews. There could be just differences in opinions. There w...
I opened the thread, but immediately realised the topic is one of the subjects, that I am not familiar with. Time permitting and the background readin...
Deconstructive use of the word :D (All uses of the problematic and unclear words have been contributed or excused to that term by me recently - xD how...
No I haven't. I have no much knowledge on the medieval time religious topics. I must go back to Russell's History of Philosophy and do some more readi...
Sure. I used to do some computer programming myself, and used to use, WHILE .... DO, For x> y DO, or IF ... THEN and write up FUNCTIONS a lot to carry...
I was not aware of Agrippa before, but it seems also interesting topic to read and learn about. Thanks for the info. https://ideasinhat.com/2018/11/16...
I see. It was a demonstration OP for showing that logical arguments in philosophical debates do need solid sufficient definitions and premises so that...
Had a quick look at the Venn Diagram section of the Gensler book, and it looks OK. But I was wondering whether the diagram method is only OK for simpl...
Hmmm I would have thought you don't need the diagram, but you just need to add more definitions into the premise making it sufficient and necessary co...
But did you read the new argument with the extra (sufficient) definitions added in the premises then produces the new true conclusion? = cats are not ...
I find Hume's account on Self Identity interesting too. His denial of self identity has brought the speculations that could Hume had been into Buddhis...
The Gensler Logic book has good explanation on the Venn Diagram. Will have a look. But I also thought the OP argument problem stems from the premise t...
For psychological aspect of self identity, I would presume Freud and Jung has something to say about it? I was under impression that David Hume, being...
I thought she was not saying Logic is stupid. Rather, she was saying that the books don't mention some important points in Logic. She quotes a few phi...
I don't always quote or post sound arguments only. But the quoted parts are what I felt was good points. I used to believe that one must not start phi...
I was not sure if she was ignorant or not, but there were parts that resonated with my feelings about the books. The reviewer didn't sound like a newb...
When logic is used in the debates, the debaters might get a false sense of security that they might arrive at true conclusions because they are using ...
One's idea of self identity largely comes from memory. I would imagine, without memory, there would be no self identity per se. From epistemological a...
I have started reading a couple of Introduction to Logic books, and still in the 1st chapter. It has not gone to the logical calculus chapter yet. Sur...
No troublems. Logic had never been an interesting subject for me before, but since reading more forum discussions recently, my interest on logic seems...
I used to think space and time was the condition for all perceptions in Kant, and cause and effect were something to do with the transcendental world....
I thought for the fact that you replied to this thread with the good write up, you must also be very much interested in the topic, but what made you f...
I thought they are great practices in the Critical Argument studies. It is certainly helping me understanding the topics more. It depends on from what...
Sure. Great explanation. :up: I also thought, it is possible for the arguments to come to the true conclusion, had the premises came up with the compl...
