I generally enjoy discussions regarding the existence/non-existence of God. Unfortunately, those who profess to be atheists tend to get rather abusive...

You seem to be suggesting that independent and interaction and influence and perception are all somehow synonymous. And again, you seem to be suggesti...

perhaps

Banno writes in English. I write in English. Being able to say it in the first person is not a sufficient criterion for separating the so called subje...

If I had to explain it to you, it wouldn't be funny anymore. I stole that.
July 01, 2019 at 10:38
I agree with Leo. The notion of "objective" truth is rooted in the age old "subject/object", "inner/outer" nonsensical Cartesian dichotomies. Calling ...

We are addicted to power and control. So much of religion is focused upon finding a way to make do as we please. If we just say the right things and d...

Most of our language is simply about being there with others. We talk weather, we talk cars, we talk sports, we talk politics, we talk books, we talk ...

I agree. Language is more about sharing a space than transferring information.
July 01, 2019 at 10:08
I agree with your general thrust. However, the interaction of things does not in and of itself define whether they are "independent." And that is espe...
July 01, 2019 at 10:04
seriously, it is called all sorts of things and we are dealing with a translation. If I were to take up learning a new language, it would definitely b...

There is nothing more meaningfully expressive of our explicit understanding of entities as entities than our regular and ongoing involvement with them...

Being as the always present yet necessarily hidden continually emerging openness that makes possible an awareness of beings as beings.
June 19, 2019 at 12:35
There is no point to laying out the process of interpretation without accounting for the primary results and aim of interpretation (facilitating the t...
June 19, 2019 at 09:55
It matters not whether your purpose is 1) to tell us the meaning of A by fully explicating B or 2) to fully explicate B in order to tell us the meanin...

IF a primary purpose (perhaps the primary purpose) of Being and Time is to capture the average everyday involvement of being-in-the-world; AND IF much...
June 18, 2019 at 12:26
exactly!
June 18, 2019 at 10:28
whether language is inherent in all actions does not determine whether an action is verbal/non-verbal. If we account for those actions (in which langu...
June 18, 2019 at 10:23
The degree to which one insists upon language as somehow running through and through our average everyday involvement in the world is the degree to wh...
June 18, 2019 at 09:57
You will never be able to capture the average everydayness of our involvement in the world without accounting for all expressed interpretations. Eithe...

I am addressing Heidegger and Language. Confusion also results when people presume their projects are the same as the projects of other people. My pri...
June 17, 2019 at 19:04
though most of us are quick to agree that morality and law are not the same thing, most of us are also quick to forget it.
June 17, 2019 at 17:45
got it. :smile:
June 17, 2019 at 17:41
Though Heidegger did indeed consider language to be the house of being, it is important to keep in mind that in Being and Time he is attempting to des...
June 17, 2019 at 17:32
The thread is entitled Heidegger and Language and though I refer specifically toBeing and Time in the original post, there is nothing in the original ...
June 17, 2019 at 17:15
Discourse is not exclusively tied to being-with. Discourse is equiprimordial with both disposition (mood, state-of-mind) and understanding. As such an...
June 17, 2019 at 13:01
To clarify, I interpret discourse as the process of expressing an interpretation of an understanding rooted in the intelligibility of being-in-the-wor...
June 17, 2019 at 12:12
First, I do believe my opening remark for the thread was to the effect that Heidegger’s position on language is a bit confusing and that one of the wa...
June 17, 2019 at 11:21
I can neither reasonably agree nor disagree with your premise since your only response to enquiries regarding your feebly supported sub-premises was t...
June 17, 2019 at 10:44
some of us have a sense of humor and some do not. carry on.
June 17, 2019 at 10:37
But you are still alive, so there is still hope for you. :razz:
June 16, 2019 at 18:27
And therefore? Are you asking me whether I agree or what I think that means? I suspect any understanding of discourse as equiprimordial with state-of-...
June 16, 2019 at 18:23
"What does Heidegger mean when he says, as quoted above: "Discourse is the articulation of intelligibility."?" Why are you asking me? :smile: My inter...
June 16, 2019 at 18:06
"Whether it's historically/etymologically rooted in that or not doesn't matter. The distinction can (and typically does) simply refer to mental versus...
June 16, 2019 at 17:44
"There's no "transcendence."" I disagree. Though I do reject the notion that transcendence is from "subject" to "object." Instead, transcendence is fr...
June 16, 2019 at 17:24
you are missing my point and the point of the original post. 1. The very notion of "objective" is rooted in substance ontology, i.e., the subject/obje...

If you live your life as if you have no free will and it turns out you did, that is tragic. If you live your life as if you had free will and it turns...
June 16, 2019 at 15:25
you seem to be suggesting a necessary connection between the number of choices presented and the degree of free will that someone has. I think some wo...

either C and B are coextensive or they are not. If they are co-extensive, then being allowed to talk about one while not being allowed to talk about o...
June 16, 2019 at 15:08
then what is the point of discussion? If your response is going to be that you are "certain", then I suppose the rest of us might just as well say tha...
June 16, 2019 at 14:53
"I don't believe there's anything difficult to it. As I explained earlier, you have a thought that amounts to wanting to type the word "word," and so ...
June 16, 2019 at 14:50
Only for those who thought epistemology was easy.
June 16, 2019 at 14:34
but it does mean that the arguments we give and the things we believe are determined.
June 16, 2019 at 13:58
Finally, after 2000 years of Western Philosophy, we now have a definition. :smile: For me, philosophy is an ongoing discussion over the nature of bein...
June 16, 2019 at 13:51
If you seem to missing a lot of "ifs". And "if" you were to put them in, then you would have created a great "straw man" argument. Good luck with that...
June 16, 2019 at 13:49
again, you are in the same circle. I consistently used the word "ALL" each and every time I used the word object. So again: 1. if existence is a predi...
June 16, 2019 at 13:31
This is the Cartesian issue that never does and never will go away. It is in and of itself the primary argument for rejecting Cartesian dualism. Even ...

I do not believe in drugs for non-recreational purposes. :smile:
