When I first heard Trump at the press conference, it seemed like he was taking a more questioning tone than anything else. He said disinfectants hurt ...

One of my previous jobs involved working with Kamala's DA office. She's the type of person who will say one thing and do the complete opposite. I thin...

I hear what you're saying. A couple anthropology professors I've spoken with have told me that although the term "ape" technically includes homo sapie...

I might go with Tulsi Gabbard. I think the Dems should try to reach across the aisle as much as possible, and also try to snag up right-leaning indepe...

Aristotle's conceives of different causes as different explanations; or more precisely, different "whys" or "becauses." Matter (hyle) is an "out of wh...

Yeah, I think that's right. I have Taoists in my family, and a couple of them would pray to deities like the "kitchen god," Guan Gong, Guan Yin, etc.....

It's never gonna happen, but I'd like to see Yang as VP. Exceptionally smart guy who avoids all the mudslinging. If he wasn't seen as the crazy UBI gu...

Yeah, whatever it is you're doing, it's not philosophy :roll:

OK, let's take a look at the OP. It seems to me this statement can be viewed in one of two ways. (1) You are either making a claim about how we alread...

The ancient Greek philosophies on life were wide and varied. But assuming you are referring to the Stoic tradition, this is not at all a charitable in...

I used to be an avid MMORPG player. The one commonality I found among every game was that once I reached the highest level, amassed the most wealth, a...

Strawman. Given the context of my last post, it should be pretty clear that I'm explicating Hume's views, not mine own. You should abide by the princi...

If I'm understanding you correctly, then yes, I think so. But let me say more... That morality has a subjective mind-dependent element to it does not ...

I thought you knew since you invoked Hume’s name at the start of the OP. In any case, on Hume’s account we can only perceive perceptions (i.e. impress...

Thanks, all of you guys too :cool:

Howdy :victory: I'm not sure I understand your first question. However, I will say that there is no consensus about what morality consists in, so any ...

Morality is an informal public system applying to all rational persons, governing behavior that affects others, having the lessening of evil or harm a...

You presented your OP as if it were meant to circumvent Hume’s attack on perception, but it doesn’t. This is because on Hume’s view, there is a proble...

To be sure, this race will be closer than most of those. But one thing I've learned is to never underestimate the power of lots and lots of stupid peo...

Well, those are all very compelling reasons. I think I threw my ballot away on accident, so I'll have to go get a new one. Unfortunately, the odds are...

This doesn’t avert Hume’s attack, because his very point is to highlight the insufficiency of perception in representing external objects. As such it ...

That the mind includes an element of ontological subjectivity does not preclude us from having an epistemically objective science of it. Money, assets...

This is a strawman. In an Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Hume starts off by saying we “must cultivate true metaphysics with some care, in ord...

Yes, from the mereological nihilist. However, identity, to my apprehension, is not something that requires perfect physical continuity in order to be ...

For Aristotle, deliberate acts presuppose at least one other choice. It is precisely the faculty of choice that determines, in part, whether an action...
