But if our emotions, feelings and experiences are authentic, then do they not have absolute authority over what reality is? By 'reality' I mean... Any...

That would be impossible because the tree is not consciousness. I am not the feeling of myself, because myself cannot be felt. But I am also feeling i...

You may be able to maintain your own meaning, and you always do, but this is irrelevant, for the act of translating your own authenticity into that wh...

I posted the same thing twice... Disregard this post.

Consciousness is fundamentally tied to matter but is in itself immaterial... This does not mean that it is divorced from materiality... But consciousn...

This is a misinterpretation of Nietzsche. What he is saying is quite akin to Heidegger's Das Man or the they, an inauthentic display. In communication...

I don't see anything dependent on a deity. Consciousness does not need a deity, nor does anything.

Nevermind

Can you reiterate this for me? My biggest problem with knowledge is the point I found in Sartre, which I found to be pretty obvious (as what usually h...

I read earlier of a 'will to life' written by a philosopher a couple hundred years ago. But I can't seem to remember what philosopher it was. It sound...

Has everything been objected to? Philosophically I say to myself... REALLY?!

I can see your point... For instance... If I look at a tree, I see the tree. I say to myself that I know what that is... I also say to myself that my ...

I disagree with your epistemology. I do not see the necessity of that dualism, namely of subject and object, of being and appearance. The world IS our...

What if someone believes there is a God or God's and another part of them believes there is not? @"Janus"

Ownership is an illusion.

What would be immaterial? What is an immaterial reality? And how is denying immaterial reality matrialism? I can deny the existence of immaterial real...

Philosophy can eradicate bigotry. Philosophy provides cohesion and understanding of humanity. Philosophy provides ethics.

I definitely do not trust the idea of a Creator or a deity. But that is because I have never heard a credible argument for one; an argument that canno...

I'm very reluctant to speak of a Godhead though.

Have you heard of the 'pre reflective cogito'?

@"Michael Ossipoff" Have you heard of ego-death in a psychedelic experience?

Personally, because of my psychedelic experiences with ego-death (yes someone attack me and tell me I am delusional!), I think that the idea of a sepa...

Most people are devoid of philosophy. And this is troubling.

But what would logic be if it were not in its truth its meaning? And its meaning is in its function right? Or am I off?

The ego of Descartes has been shown to be atop unsturdy premises. The I that I would refer to would be the ego of Freud, of the personality... Althoug...

Logic is as it is used, correct? And so it is in a sense about reality, right? Unless... Logic has a mind of its own?

I am optimistic in terms of freedom and pessimistic in terms of the behavior and thoughts of other people.

But if the transphenomenality of consciousness was never created how could it end?

What if there is no death? Only a disintegration?

Knowledge is superfluous for a few reasons. 1. It presupposes the truth of that which delivers it. 2. It never reaches any truth. 3. It is recharacter...

You're assuming that the human will, which is within language (as I am writing now), is a passive will, determined by some configuration of language t...

Actually what I would say, in terms of existentialism, there is no use for the dualism of subject and object at all. By virtue of the fact that consci...

I use language. Language does not use me.

lol Now THAT is funny. Syphilis attacks the brain in its final stage... And it will kill you. I guess you have no notion of his solution to nihilism, ...

That is said atop premise of a supposed necessity, namely that there must have been something that has given rise to the 'world of phenomena,' which.....

His medical problems were not related to his thinking. He had an illness that affected his brain, and in his later years he could not express himself ...

Intentionality is simply the understanding that consciousness is always conscious of something. This reconciles the duality of subject and object or b...

Oh sorry I can't not quote someone. I can only regurgitate the thoughts of other people, because I have no thoughts of my own... Being does not 'need'...

Like what

Being is uncreated.

Are you in consideration of a world behind the scenes?

To be in awe at the fact of existence requires an existence in place already... And so one is not really in awe as much as they are captivated by aspe...

Does it not seem to be maybe just a bit of a leap of faith to consider that consciousness 'came from' nonconsciousness? Sartre says being is uncreated...

And this is thus reality? Or... Something else?

Is it.... "Truth! Rapturous delusion of a god! What does truth matter to human beings! And what was the Heraclitean "truth"! And where has it gone? A ...

I think knowledge is superfluous.

Consciousness is not a thing.

We love life not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving." Nietzsche

Hmmmm. In relation to a HUMAN EXISTENCE, wouldn't an experience of something 'unadulturated' by language and expression, which strips the individual a...

But these 'other things' are what?... Ahh... Adhering to the epistemology of realism? And these other things... How do they exist?
