If you want to argue that there is Ultimate Causation go ahead. The neglect of the pilot has as much bearing as the inaccuracy of the autopilot. Not h...
Pretty much there. Being born can be viewed as the reason you kill someone, rather than some fact that they ran in front of your car whilst you were d...
Bingo! Thanks for that. I am just playing around with the concept of time here and how our terminology influences our perception of time. Especially i...
I know this is weird and seemingly obvious. That is what gripped me about it. I am intrigued by the use and application of these terms both within log...
They are not. The IRA were a terrorist organisation and the Palestinians are a population of people. Maybe you meant IRA and Hamas? In which case I wo...
You have really opened up a can of worms here :D Next on the agenda .. Race! Is 'race' cultural? Can we blame a 'race' because race=culture in some re...
Thanks for your thoughts. I think of 'home' as being a place of memories, usually with other people. Coccia actually seems to be arguing that now the ...
I think Mencius encapsulates much of what Stoics believed. Not sure if Mencius was into a cyclical universe though? Simplistically, Stoicism = "amor f...
These are all very pertinent questions that require multiple approaches. Articulate your questions carefully. Contemplate the terms used and their mea...
I do not think he is suggesting anything like a revolution. He is more or less assessing how the revolution of Home has already happened. One interest...
I was thinking more or less along the line of the city is cut off from the natural world, the home from the city and then the mobile device from the h...
That was not what I was doing. Clochards are the people with devices NOT the devices themselves. This should be apparent enough: Please don't turn thi...
100%. There are plenty of cases where people do not possess any language so they obviously cannot think in words if they have none. I think there is l...
I think he is looking at the home as a 'place apart from' rather than somewhere we go about our daily business. Where we retire from the daily events ...
He was making a point about Philosophy not coming from the City because people do not live in Cities, they live in homes. The only true citizens of a ...
Are you being annoying on purpose. You think I wrote 'the Clochard' meaning 'the homelessness'? Are you mental? GO AWAY PLEASE. Troll some other post ...
Their Nature is their Law (Natural). The Soul is its Nature. The Law (of polis) is an Imitation of Nature. The Nature of things is what their Truth is...
It means 'homeless'. I had seen it before in Oscar Wilde I think, and again in the very book I quoted - 'homeless'. I was using it in a dystopian sens...
It is pretty simple. Some people (A) cannot comprehend 'thinking' as X and others (B) refuse to define 'thinking' as X. In both cases A and B would, p...
Things get messy when people use the same words within different contexts. I personally see philosophy as being one of those fields of interest that p...
Are you familiar with Schiller? This link might interest you. I have not read it myself but I have read the full work, so assume they pick out the mai...
Maybe I was acting harshly above. My comment to the maker of this thread was simply to keep in mind that some people will not accept that 'thought' ca...
I have never met Ms. C. Science nor Mr. Psychology. Widen your circle :D Seriously, you are confusing subjective experience with empirical data. You w...
You are talking about 'worded' thought. You will come to understand, if you have not already, that some people cannot 'think' without words. This was ...
Stating this is not at all likely to help your cause. Some things are best left unsaid. Which you will agree with given what you are hoping to explica...
I have a good enough idea of what you say you have experienced to say that it is likely far more common than you think. Not the EXACT experience, but ...
I know this is practically impossible to explicate but I would appreciate further and more detailed accounts of this please. I would find this EXTREME...
Down economically, maybe Up in terms of politics (although the latter will not come into meaningful effect anytime soon). I think having a more divers...
I would step swiftly away from Kant and speak as plainly as possible on your own terms and allow someone else to guide you to a philosophical approach...
Kant is a common stumbling block for many people. The 'thing-in-itself' is where he arrives at the concept of Noumenon as opposed to Phenomenon. We ca...
But surely you see that if that is how Kant defines it by defining it it becomes fundamental reality. He cannot speak of that which he speaks of ... y...
My was AI doesn't think. Concepts are associated with thinking. Either way, I do not see how this reveals the questions that came after it. If you can...
I think you believe you may have some interesting things to say even though your ideas are probably not as enlightened as you think they are. If you a...
I think the whole problem can be easily addressed here by framing the is-ought problem with a the lens of emotivism. It is a conscious association not...
