If there is a choice between one or the other I choose change. My point being change weighs more in favour of exploration and development than standin...
Change is good if you are able to change your mind about something. Understanding that what you once thought was correct is actually not as solid as y...
It was in a collection of papers published in 'Cognitive Neurosciences' by Gazzaniga (I believe it would have been Fourth Edition). They were talking ...
It is completely rational for different people to come to completely different conclusions. It is rational for someone religious to pray for their chi...
This is false. Chimps can cooperate and problem solve, as can chickens. The latter may be mere 'programming' but I would not say we can state one way ...
I think if you rephrase this as 'freedom to believe what you want' it sounds even more stupid in a way. We believe what we believe. You cannot expect ...
I think this is a poor argument in some ways. If someone chooses to become pregnant, and/or sees their pregnancy through to a certain point, then chan...
As a kind of loose defense against this thought I guess it could be argued that ethics is necessarily embedded in any system of values. I cannot imagi...
Nozick's frames this under patterning and states that the two 'principles of justice' do not require patterning. He does admit that where people view ...
If you are just going to put words into my mouth we will not get far here. Explain. I have no idea what you are talking about here. What is boils down...
Freedom has its price, but few are willing to pay. I do not think finger pointing and blaming gets anyone anywhere good very quickly (the opposite usu...
But it does if employers act as you state here: I am sure some do. The problem is then about negative discrimination. I have heard of some people tryi...
There are various tiers of belief in this discussion. A lot of people who are lumped into the term 'Pro life' often just think the point of terminatio...
This assumes people have 'rights' - also a legal matter. True enough there is certainly a 'moral' factor involved here in regards to the establishment...
He is not saying that apparently but I would. PLUS the level of skill and the cost of materials. I would pay an incompetent potter less or rather not ...
I have no idea given I have no idea about the nuances of this specific situation. In general though, it depends on whether they felt like they made th...
I think it is pretty obvious that what is legal is not necessarily just. I have read Nozick's partially only atm so perhaps I will see what you are ta...
They can and do. No need to suggest this. I find the issue becomes more or less about what an individual can do and what others believe they should do...
Logic is mathematical not lingual. It is only applied to language in the same manner it is applied to numbers, but obviously language and mathematics ...
Logical is a mathematical field primarily. There are no pure mathematically logical truths in language. So, no. It helps to know where the limits of p...
My general advice would be to simply write what you read in the simplest form you understand it then go back and check what you just read and see how ...
Yeah, a long time ago. I thought it was utter garbage. Nothing but hermeneutical jargon under misrepresentation and twaddle. That said, I would not di...
Thoughts on Husserl? I personally believe Heidegger, for the most part, hijacked Husserl's line of investigation and fixated on one tiny aspect of it ...
Language is the shadow cast by the mind into the world. People often mistaken the shadows for the light or simply think the shadows can tell them more...
I was looking for something a little more specific. I have a broad enough knowledge and wish to learn more about the development and evolution of Isla...
Do these cover the history from a secular perspective or are they laden with religious rhetoric? I am looking for more scholarly work that tries to be...
I do go on to suggest that is may be this kind of process that refined our reasoning too. Not sure if you got to that point or lost the will to live l...
This is me making a pig's ear of this topic and rambling on :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlXj9cBTpVU&t=901s I tried! I will keep trying :D Not s...
I cannot really disagree here either. I probably am just more curious about it having a bigger effect than we would initially think. Before any search...
I am unsure what is controversial. We absolutely have an innate capacity for language. There are instances where individuals have no, or minimal, lang...
This doesn't go against what I am saying. Animism would not prevent people from having competing views and partaking in one-upmanship in term of items...
Really? Who disagrees? How so? Seems a strange thing to dispute, but likely it is the concept of 'language' they are using. Some linguists are quite h...
I am saying something more like the 'one-upmanship' led to progress in Reason. As you rightly point out both Western and Eastern traditions have a his...
Well, this is what I am saying you are doing ... so we are kind of stuck aren't we :D Yes. But you can agree they did not have demarcated logical prin...
First Question. No. Meaning certainly not like we do. Many animals can complete complex instinctual tasks and solve complex mathematical problems. The...
Because they didn't have analytics. I am not saying people couldn't think only that certain intellectual paradigms had not been reached (such as Evide...
Personally I have found throughout life that the areas I tend to dismiss end up being the very ones I need to look into at a later date. My initial in...
