It makes sense and I agree. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Heidegger was educated as a mathematician and a physicist. The person who fills ...

Indeed. And therein is the essence of the ironic nature of this matter.

My dog. He is only about twelve pounds. But ounce for ounce, he would be the world champion of snoring canines.

I don't think Nietzsche's notion of will to power means what you think it means. (not to mention, it is a posthumous publication of scraps collected b...

Ear of the Other is a publication of a lecture given by Derrida regarding Nietzshe. In it, he talks about the notion of signature. And it is rather co...

if not for the word "dork", it would have been a KO. But you do get the TKO. :smile:

I would suggest that the impassioned notion of the eternal YES pretty much covers it.

The Gestalt value of The Will to Power andTriumph of the Will speaks for itself. Nietzsche was a good person. I think of him as the philosophical vers...

Indeed. His sister prostituted the works of her dead brother. He was a good person.

I agree. Thank you for the clarification.

ITS RIGGED!! :cool:

I have parsed your words for brevity and do not want to take you out of context. However, I did parse as I did because the two "strike" me as inconsis...

that is funny.

Touche. That is funny.

I agree. We are not agents experiencing a work of art. We are the experience of the work. We are the in between. And for Heidegger, being is that on t...

Yes. By the time of the publishing of the Origin of the Work of Art, Heidegger's thought development brought him to the conclusion that we are the in ...

subject/object is just the tip of the iceberg. And it is not just philosophy. All disciplines desperately attach labels to that which they cannot expl...

it most certainly will be epic. :smile:

Yes. Kierkegaard was a significant influence Heidegger. Heidegger arrives at much the same conclusions through his analyses of Anxiety in section 40 o...

It is not my intent to engage in the Cartesian/Materialsim/Heideggerian debate. He solicited advice on language. I gave it too him. And now you are pr...

That is begging the issue. Everyone agrees their experience of red is conscious. Not everyone agrees the red is in their mind (where their consciousne...

discussions take on a life of their own. If we end up at the same place as when the discussion started, there is no point in the discussion. Just sayi...

You raised the issue of language. Who is your audience? I find it confusing. Calling it a "conscious" experience of red tells me nothing about where t...

. And I agree. And as far as I am concerned, Janus has gone too in even conceding the possible existence of boundaries. People are uncomfortable with ...

It is an interesting issue. But does the history of philosophy and its issues unfold before people in the manner you describe? Are people not more lik...

You rock!!

I was asking unenlightened whether attaching the word subjective to an agreed upon truth created unnecessary confusion. It opens the objective-subject...

if you are serious about the language problem, then ask yourself: what is the difference between: 1. a conscious experience of Red; and 2. an experien...

That is funny. Especially new people new to the process should keep it short and sweet. For some people, the more you, the more they have for beating ...

How about "the rock I am thinking about actually is, therefore I am" I am puzzled how the Cartesians ended up convincing us that the rock (object in t...

:smile:

I am more of a cart before the horse guy. There are two widely accepted translations. I presume one of them will be used. Both are available for downl...

are you suggesting that difference is a perceiver dependent assignment used to render intelligible to the perceiver non-perceiver dependent boundaries...

are you suggesting that difference depends on the perceiver while the boundaries that enable to the perceiver to assign a difference does not?

I agree with you regarding the being of the absence of the cup in a fashion. If there is a cup (an entity), then its presence or absence is a modal sa...

Why? I am confident of the existence of entities (though I do not think of God as an entity) on Jupiter and you may rest assured I cannot define them.

As true as that may be, there is no real issue with that. If you wanted to define your laptop as God and then prove God existed, I am confident many (...

Excellent point. I never heard anyone say they took the bad things in life for granted until they were gone. I have a roof over my head, I have food i...

A bold discussion topic. Certainly one of the most interesting topics. I have been engaged in it most of my life. But when people begin talking about ...

Indeed: The length was the first thing I thought of. And generally for contemporary reasons. This is the facebook age. Until and, more likely when, yo...

Me too. Though I think it angered me more than surprised me. The extreme sensitivity of the subject matter, someone putting themselves out there with ...

This is interesting stuff. why wouldn't it do both? Your claim suggests that ultimately we will run out of possibilities. Unless of course there are a...

I have been on internet forums as long as there have been internet forums. And I have been in philosophy discussion groups since my days as a philosop...

You keep begging the question. How is your proposition regarding truth being an attribute of the assertion advanced in any way by this subjective/obje...

Within the context of philosophical discussion groups, I have never seen a demand for empirical "proof" from any one regarding a philosophical proposi...

No. The issue is the criteria to be applied, if any, given the nature of the premise. I have little patience for people who demand their music taste l...

no. Though I don't disagree with that.

I do not disagree. But certainly the nature of the proposition should indicate to most whether a demand for empirical "proof" is appropriate. And scie...

I disagree.

perhaps a good name would be "What do you take for your Cartesian hangover?" The unenlightened one and you have senses of humor, give me some ideas fo...
