These don't seem to fit together. I'd say so. But I might be completely wrong about the youth today being any different to the youth from the past. Th...
And due to the geographic divide will lead to the inevitable outcome of a more literal split. In other countries the political division is generally s...
Democracy and simplicity. People can vote however they wish to and most prefer an A or B option so they don’t have to think too hard. Note: Even in Eu...
First problems above: I think a big problem here is the English language. When talking about a ‘meaning of life’ we’re just talking about ‘purpose’ or...
And all of these are delineated by personal perspectives. Generally there isn’t anything that is ‘boring’ there is simply a preference by individuals ...
Yes. Memories are sense based. No. Even abstractions are … well, abstracted from sensory input not from some mysterious ether. All in all I think Kant...
Pretty much for the reason you outline above. Realism. A bunch of interacting entities (that are neither good or bad) is more comparable to humans tha...
A degree, any degree, informs your potential employer that you can dedicate yourself to something longterm. If you do a degree then it means you’re ge...
That cannot be true. I value 'first' more as most people do. I am not saying it is logical just more a condition of culture I think. The rest is just ...
Well, my point was YOU are in the 1% on the global scale so are you running the world like you're part of an international crime family? Turns out I a...
Is that a 'value'? Why is it important what comes 'first' or if something does come 'first'? Do you apply more value to first or second and if so why ...
Cause and effect are brought about due to categorical distinctions. Within distinctions values are emergent. We can ask if values beget distinctions o...
If we're talking global scale most, of not all, people here are the 1%. If you narrow it down to a specific country then it is easier to look with dis...
He is literally the founder of phenomenology. The term you use talking about phenomenology (intentionality) is his specific to phenomenology. https://...
If you’re here just to act like a dick good for you. You asked what should I do and I assumed you meant in order to attain ‘bliss’ so I answered. ‘Enl...
I have no idea why broadly categorising buddhism under ‘theism’ (rightly and justly done by many) is so upsetting. No creator god, fine. No creation, ...
If you’re not interested in studying consciousness then a science of consciousness is pretty much a waste of time for you then. Note: phenomenology is...
The problem is you choosing to hold to a very specific and narrow definition of ‘theism’. If the vast majority of people who speak English don’t agree...
I don’t much care whether some group of people accept the definition of theism or not. I don’t accept the definition of ‘religion’ as it is commonly u...
It is the same as asking how is science of use. That was kind of my point. Husserl frames phenomenology as a science of consciousness - ask cognitive ...
Note: most religious folk have no clue what they’re doing or why they’re doing it. It is a system of perpetuating a myth more than understanding the m...
Buddhism is a theism. This isn’t really up for dispute. I find it evasive to not reply and evade questions. I find this happens a lot when someone the...
It depends on what is meant by 'religion'. In terms of institutions 'religion,' 'science' and 'philosophy' have more in common than not. As a way of u...
Of you ask someone what something means to them they will give you an answer even if they had never really thought about what it meant and they will b...
Yu must be using the term 'theism' as rigidly meaning 'creator' then. I don't and others don't. It is only correct for certain branches of buddhism an...
Phenomenology isn’t a ‘philosophy’ in terms of being a way of living life. That is probably why Husserl was quite explicit when framing phenomenology ...
It is still incorrect to imply that buddhism is not theistic because there are examples of this. I don’t know what you mean (personally) by ‘bliss’ an...
Phenomenology (Husserl) is meant as a scientific method of studying consciousness. Solipsism isn’t anything like that at all. Phenomenology does not t...
That’s not true. There are quite clearly buddhist practices that believe in deities. Of course you may not refer to these as ‘true buddhism’ but that ...
Science deals with facts. Philosophers often question what facts are based on ... but scientists don't care and continue with facts. Basic point being...
Mary has never felt any severe in pain her whole life. She's lived in a nice comfortable room yet has studied everything there is to know about 'sever...
We're 'geniuses' of a sort. Who isn't! Very much. As far as I can recall he didn't make a big deal about any differentiation between poly/mono ... I s...
I can see why they didn’t bother to publish it ^^ This is poorly written and one sentence doesn’t even make sense (italics). You should probably get p...
Plato’s The Republic is as good a place as any to start. In terms of fiction 1984 is also a very nice window into philosophy. Overall I think an eclec...
It really isn’t as I’m far from the first person to point this out. It’s kind of obvious. Why it is happening is likely due to multiple reasons includ...
There seems to be a blind spot here. I am guessing you accept the evidence for pantheons being believed in at various points in human history. That is...
Fair enough. I was making a broad generalisation as in a pantheon the gods interact quite readily in a 'human' manner. Still the question remains as a...
That would be something of an oversimplification I feel. The gist is close enough though. Easier doesn't mean better, I just see more scope for explor...
I looking at it as if it is beneficial to human society to have theism and that polytheism allows for a more expansive view of the world at large, but...
I'm not going there. My aim for this thread us quite specific. I am assuming there are no actual gods and that they are a manifestation of human exper...
