I'm curious because @"Benkei" was making claims to the contrary. But even if we did "trace the DNA", my point was it works both ways. Afterall, even i...

Just curious did you read some historical background here? https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/908700 I say that because it contradicts ...

If this was applied to antinatalism, imagine a prospective parent/society is behind the veil of ignorance. They would not know what position any poten...

@"Vera Mont" @"BitconnectCarlos" Just curious, do you believe in biological essentialism when it comes to nation-states, or do you think a longstandin...

So perhaps I should explain more then: It was not addressed by Witt, but it SHOULD HAVE if his goal was to show how propositional logic allows for map...

He certainly wasn't a Calvanist then.

But was that even addressed by Witt? That seems like a psychological point that goes way deeper than simply linguistic analysis. How brains, neurons p...

Do you think he put as much effort in his words as you are in interpreting them? Is it even in some way "right" to over-interpret any one human's word...

I think you summed up religion in a nutshell, sir. Hats off to you. Daoism tries to find the flow in the ordinary and Buddhism to escape the suffering...

Sounds like a turn for convenience. If you can’t beat them (the masses) have them join you by justifying the status quo. Also the idea of karma is a c...

I took that quote to simply mean, we judge them to have internal sensations like we do.. not that we need proof. But I do know that Descartes had a ho...

I think this idea of turning into an "intellectual problem" is a non-problem. There are philosophers that have various ideas on the matter. Kant has h...

Actually, the Thing-In-Itself is precisely what we know most according to Schopenhauer, so not all philosophers think like that. His idea of Will is i...

They are analyzing our ways of understanding of the world... For example what is the nature of arithmetic and geometrical notions or scientific discov...

The way I see those, is they are all different and often self-referential and contained frameworks that don't all have to do with exactly "certainty" ...

Right, but my contention is that this thing he is setting up of "perfect knowledge" and "making due" is a false narrative, and thus a strawman that do...

Not really though. My point is that it is a pretty asshole move by the philosopher in question to point out things as if they are novel when they are ...

I mean that seems to be a presupposition of this thread.

At some point the conversation comes to an end because people have made their points. There is not much more except arguing the same thing and just ge...

You can have the last post if you want, I already addressed the issues. What more do you want from me?

You can say whatever you want and that doesn't make it true. Justifying Hamas' means and confusing war is on you, not me. https://thephilosophyforum.c...

Ah right, you confuse who the bullies are, and as we already covered, you confuse what war entails. Off to the other thread.

Cool, you can also tell that to millions of people in the region who are now affected by their suicide-bombings (stopping previous negotiations), and ...

Raping and dismembering and killing civilians doesn't disqualify them? Cool, we can stop talking because we are so far apart in terms of what we see a...

:lol: :roll: I'm sure Hitler would have said they were bullied if Western powers stepped in. Look at what Nasser's Egypt, and Jordan and Syria were do...

Just like stopping Hitler before 1940 would have been justified and needed to stop an actual aggressor. Yes, sending rockets, and then actually invadi...

Yeah except Vietnam was not right next door and surrounding you with several countries not just one, immanently threatening your existence as a countr...

You said earlier, from the Wiki article, that they were preparing for a "counteroffensive". That means AFTER they were attacked they would fight back....

Which philosopher(s)? There is identity theories I guess that propose certain neuronal firings indicate a certain brain state, but I am not sure Witt ...

So what I am not a fan of, is when something that is pretty common understanding of things is presented as if it’s profoundly innovative wisdom.

Huh? The point was France did little to jack shit when Hitler was violating the Versailles treaty, opting to build a wall over taking any military or ...

Except France wasn't threatening. If anything, they were intractably in a defensive posture, even when the situation did not call for it. WWI did a nu...

Already addressed this, so I'm done debating it.. You can keep referring to it if you want though. That seems to be your belief, not "set in stone" fa...

Load whatever premise to get the conclusion you need. Rather, the Arab/Islamic states surrounding Israel were immanently going to try to conquer it.. ...

I think this now shifts to the other thread as to what war looks like. As far as "apartheid".. There has to be a peace movement amongst the Palestinia...

Sure, but I didn't say it did, so this is a straw man. Rather, this is the only Jewish nation-state. That is just a fact.

The point is the unique singling out. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Non-Aligned-Movement There are many countries in Africa that align with the Isl...

Numerous human rights violations, many vote as an Arab/Islamic bloc, and then there is the third-world non-aligned countries in Africa.. all of these ...

As in, look at a lot of those countries in the General Assembly...

Indeed

Considering the countries in the General Assembly, not really.

I don't think much of the UN.. They are a biased body. Not much more to say. But as for the Israeli settlement policy.. it could have been solved year...

He doesn't talk in those terms (which to me is a problem if you don't acknowledge what came before), but I don't agree that it is not implicit in his ...

Is this not a reformulation of the Ship of Theseus? Yes, the analytics were/are indeed caught up on the definition of "is". The Morning Star is the Ev...

Cool, but I just don’t see the demand for certainty with these concepts as a problem to begin with. They are jumping off points for critical thinking....

I see that as a broad-reaching strawman for all philosophers in general. For example, how could Schopenhauer not be aware of the ineptness of language...

Yes, give or take, and that again was the basis for the 2000 negotiation, with large swaths of settlers to be removed.. and not sure, but Pals would h...

Which they did in Gaza afterwards, so that was false just on the events..

If Israel couldn’t remove settlers then you could legitimately have an argument that Israel was in the wrong. You first need the agreement for that to...

Barak and Morris were in accord. Barak wasn’t going into the deal in bad faith, he wanted to finish the job of Rabin. Clinton wanted a legacy. Arafat ...
