I'm not endorsing a particular view of physics. I'm giving you MY view. In MY view, time IS included in a frame of reference. it's the changes/motion ...
Just saw his links now. He says that the evidence isn't conclusive and he cites studies that reach neutral conclusions as well as the conclusion that ...
I'm very libertine, and I'm a big fan of sex. Contemporary culture seems rather prudish when it comes to sex to me. We are still very monogamy-oriente...
What you can't be mistaken about is (1) your present phenomenal experience as your present phenomenal experience, and (2) your present evaluations/ass...
That's the whole point of truth-value (truth, falsehood, and any other modalities we'd allow) being a property of propositions, and on my view, being ...
Even under the view that what morality is relative to is individual disposition? Why wouldn't that be a contingent matter in that case? It would be th...
I would say that anyone who thinks of "fact" as connoting "crisp, precise and uninfluenced by subjectivity" has a misconception of what facts are. Fac...
But there are a lot of subjective facts in general (keeping in mind that subjective simply refers to mentality). For example, if you desire a surf gre...
The problem with giving an example is that there's a good chance that it will turn into a game of "come up with a story so that this characteristic wa...
I don't know why sense would matter. "Facts is facts," even if there are two senses (whatever those senses would be). And if your characterization of ...
Because correspondence theory, on your view, is this: "correspondence theory of truth . . . the relationship between a proposition and states of affai...
I can not make any sense out of this. First, saying that facts exist is a category error because "the problems with saying that facts exist or that ac...
Not that I can make any sense out of why spiritual reality wouldn't be factual, but so then you'd say that spiritual truths do not fit under correspon...
By being present/occurrent. They're states of affairs that obtain. There is no difference. They're synonyms. You didn't explain why it's a category er...
I'm asking it because you're turning out to say that truth and falsehood are the same thing I said they were vis-a-vis being a relation between propos...
You realize that what I said above was that truth and falsehood are (judgments of) the relation of a proposition to states of affairs (on corresponden...
"Real" is mind-independent, extramental, or "outside of minds." I just have no idea what that would be saying. What would it be for a concept to "have...
I'm just asking him questions about his view (with the upshot that eventually it would explain so he (and you) could understand why truth and facts ar...
I actually don't agree with this first premise. I think that evolution by natural selection provides the impetus for a lot of features, but a lot of o...
More, "If you were to inventory everything there is, you'd have only particulars on your list" That way we avoid whether anything is interacting with ...
The old "scientization" drive under slightly different language. Philosophy can't somehow "become science." What makes the two different is that they ...
What would be objective, physical evidence of DNA or a computer, or detail of a computer, that's an abstraction? What would you point to so that you'r...
Re your earlier post, too, there are a number of things I should clear up. And I should have cleared all of this up a few days ago. I overlooked it as...
When I ask you how non-factuality obtains ontologically, I'm asking you how can there be non-factuality, how is there such a thing, in what manner doe...
The capacity for it, but again, I'd say that it doesn't occur if it's not conscious mental content. Not unless it seems like they aren't, but that doe...
This is incorrect. According to relativism, a murderer isn't wrong per some absolute. That in no way implies that he's not wrong per some relative mor...
I wouldn't say that wondering how the golden rule could even exist at all "standing on its own" would be tangential to the issue of whether it stands ...
I asked you: You responded as if you were unfamiliar with that terminology. So I worded it differently for you, which was the post in question. That w...
The post after you asked that question was an explanation of what that referred to. Okay, so false propositions and non-factual propositions are synon...
No--how could it "stand on its own" where it's "indifferent" to what people think etc. about it? How could it even exist at all in that case? Where wo...
Nominalists are not saying that regularlities of behavior are limited to one particular object. So again, what you wrote there is compatible with nomi...
I understand why you're saying that, but it seems wrong. However, I have to think about it further to explore how I'd analyze the problem there. Ah--o...
Moral judgments are how individuals feel about behavior (leaving out the qualifying details there). When some moral stance, like the golden rule, say,...
But do you understand that no one is saying that it's right because of mass appeal or because of legislation? What people are saying insofar as either...
Okay, but how would that even be in dispute? It's obvious that folks with the right influence/power in a society are the ones that entrench ethical st...
There's no restriction that definitions can't be single words. But the idea is that the definiens has to be synonymous with the definiendum, however m...
