Overall I would probably expect this to be so. On an individual to individual basis I’m not sure it would hold up just as we cannot say definitively t...

No, because I agree there is a difference. I don’t care for ‘morals’ as I’ve stated. I have made quite clear (so I thought?) that men and women in gen...

I wouldn't call it a 'general pattern' anymore than I would call being born with ten fingers as a 'general pattern'. The reason we make distinctions i...

Why? What for? If I wanted to post on facebook I would use facebook.

I think the one thing it is hard to argue against is that overall human development is what is it is and that men and women are distinguishable. That ...

@"L'éléphant" Reread and stop overreacting. It is utter gibberish to replace ‘gender’ with ‘physiological’ in that sentence. I used the term ‘sex’ not...

@"Astrophel" Here's a thought. If there is some underlying principle (core elements of) 'ethics' then can an alien species exist and have a completely...

Historically. But in more modern terms 'feminine' and 'masculine' qualities (psychologically speaking) are not exclusive to either sex. Just like Red ...

Because you say so. I don't buy it. I'm not into atomisation. This is literally one of the main contentions Husserl had. I don't believe this via cert...

What about this obvious point drove you to post it instead of posting about the sky being blue or circles being round? I guess you just want us to pay...

What is the point of this post? Genuinely curious. It seem quite hyperbolic which is fine, but I'm not sure where you expect this to go or want this t...

That is the phenomenological approach. There is no statement of what is or isn't only constant reorientation through consciousness. Where does the 'mo...

The Self is not ethical.
January 18, 2022 at 05:45
btw Ethics doesn’t exist. The illusion is believing in a system of laws to the point that it overrules what you actually want/need/wish to do with you...

As psychological example …. Morbid curiosity! I can be ‘attracted’ to something I find ‘repulsive’. What makes something ‘repulsive’ is the same as wh...

Blah blah blah. I don’t respect your opinion because I understand it.
January 18, 2022 at 05:34
As good a place to start as any. Any starting point needs to be seen as wrong at some point though.
January 18, 2022 at 05:32
What ethic we/I use is regarded in terms of emotional wellbeing and logical analysis (or rational thought). The ‘emotional wellbeing’ involves self-de...
January 18, 2022 at 05:31
Ethics is shrouded in law making. If I want to kill you that is fine in my opinion … but this is untrue because there are other factors such as empath...
January 18, 2022 at 05:25
Ethics is social. The irony is to dig under this is to dispense with the social by believing we can dispense with the social
January 18, 2022 at 05:22
You do. Your choice is just not blatantly apparent because it readjusts constantly (to some degree). The taste of something will vary due to mood, env...
January 18, 2022 at 05:21
We can still ask what is there in ‘ethics’ that cannot be taken out. That would be up to you … you see the problem therein?
January 18, 2022 at 04:22
There is no ‘foundation’ for phenomenological investigations. That is basically one of the greatest benefits of phenomenology. It doesn’t adhere to an...

He didn’t say that. Read.
January 18, 2022 at 04:12
The ethic is based on the individual moral positions of peoples in societies/communities. There is also an underlying/innate predisposition to ‘animat...
January 18, 2022 at 04:12
Also, ‘ego’ has different meanings in different contexts. I’m more in favour of Jung’s mapping out of the psyche than Freud’s.

Who cares?

Not necessarily true. Often enough, for us pathetic humans, we are passengers to our ‘actions’ then justify them after the effect deferring authorship...
January 18, 2022 at 03:13
Why? I don’t see any solid evidence to suggest that ‘rationality’ is somehow distinct from ethics let alone prior to it? These are just terms we use f...
January 18, 2022 at 03:03
The underlying principle of any ethical disposition is orientation. Such orientation is based on what we value and how we value it. The ‘ethical’ is b...

‘Reality’ is a concept. Concepts require - as far as we know - a perspective. Therefore ‘Reality’ cannot exist without an observer. In simple terms if...
