It was to set up a means of understanding consciousness and cognition apart from, but not in opposition to, the naturalistic attitude. Heidegger latch...

Examples of problems in the text: Instantly turned off. That is no way to engage the reader. Essentially you just said, what I’m about to say is most ...
April 28, 2020 at 09:06
Yeah, but it’s a noun not a verb. I understand perfectly well how talking about ‘time’ is a tricky matter. The use of Da-sein is prelimarily vague, co...
April 28, 2020 at 08:14
All of it. The structure and layout is not engaging. Reread what I’ve said, I;ve told you this already. Failing that, hire a professional to get some ...

Precisely! It is interesting to see how many voted ‘no’ simply because they saw ‘Communism’. A democratic capitalistic system would be good too withou...

I’m not asking for critique of my critique. Take it or leave it. I’m only responding because there is potential - for what, I’m still unsure because I...

You repeatedly ignore the OP. Hello? Wake up!
April 28, 2020 at 02:27
The OP states this. Read the OP. If you’re making up your own hypothetical be explicit in doing so.
April 28, 2020 at 02:14
I wouldn’t worry about it. Heidegger didn’t even know what he meant by Dasein, he just fooled many into thinking he did actually mean something by bur...
April 28, 2020 at 02:10
So what? Explain. Governments are related to humans directly whereas events in the world are related indirectly. If there is no human error do you thi...
April 28, 2020 at 02:03
Yes, because it’s for the ‘layman’. If you’re dumbing down the text you’re addressing philosophers so you shouldn’t be writing a philosophical piece -...
April 28, 2020 at 01:44
The hypothetical in the OP implies this, not me. In a governmental system where there is no human error the system would work flawlessly. The paramete...
April 28, 2020 at 00:56
The answer clearly ‘yes’ because of this: Any system would work in this scenario, communist or otherwise.
April 27, 2020 at 14:06
Agreed. It’s incredibly useful to write/speak what you think.
April 27, 2020 at 14:03
I hear just as much bleating from both sides. Nothing new. Have fun.
April 27, 2020 at 11:11
ANY form of government is perfect if everyone agrees to it. Therefore there is no ‘perfect’. Anyway, Communism like Democracy, is hardly an iron cast ...

I’ll have to look into Barrett more.
April 27, 2020 at 09:17
Cut the autobiographical tone then (cut the ‘I’). No one cares who you are or what your views are. People read to explore not to be shown what you kno...

Who are you writing for? Who is your audience?
April 27, 2020 at 05:22
Giordano Bruno is an interesting figure. Francis Yates’ scholarly work on him is pretty interesting if you’re interested in this area.
April 27, 2020 at 03:52
All of them. I’d advise sticking to one in depth piece of writing rather than scattered pieces that try to cover everything - and essentially fail. It...

Not all that surprising given that it’s a poorly written knock-off :D
April 26, 2020 at 16:57
:rofl: Honestly, that is exactly how I think of humans. We’re confused gods of a sort (the odd sort!)

I don’t think so. Like I said previously, our ... er ... ‘power of knowledge’ is what it is because it’s limited. Omnipotence wouldn’t feel like ‘livi...

I was talking about new drugs. Funding has pretty much stopped for research development for the kind of drugs I mentioned. The issue is the brain is c...

I’ve heard several people say the exact opposite recently regarding funding for such treatments - because it’s seriously unpredictable (essentially th...

What’s your point?

Maybe my words are too confusing. Here, wiki away! :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(arrow_of_time)

You’ve lost me. If you put an ice cube on the table you’ll entropy in action. Time can be subjective (if you’re bathed in red light your subjective ap...
April 26, 2020 at 11:28
I’m not saying it is a form of entropy. I am saying our experience of entropy is what we experientially refer to as ‘time’. No entropy means no change...

How? I cannot imagine what I cannot imagine. Without experience of space or time I am non-existent - I cannot ‘think’! Cells are not conscious of time...
April 26, 2020 at 08:40
What about it? You tell me. Why would someone believe that? Tell me. I can only imagine you mean ‘abstracted from’ rather than ‘outside of’. If not th...

The title ‘Ontological Hermeneutics’ may help guide you a little. As with many philosophical works Heidegger employ his own jargon to lay out his idea...
April 26, 2020 at 04:16
I think the gist of the point was we don’t have many alternatives. It’s pretty clear that the ‘liberal left’ and no doubt many ‘right leaning’ people ...

Are you familiar with Damasio? I believe he differentiated between ‘feeling’ and ‘emotion’ in pretty much the same way you’ve briefly outlined. Excuse...

Why on earth are you on a philosophy forum? You cannot ‘avoid’ ethical discussions. You make the ethical choice not to partake in them. It’s like you’...

Okay, I’ll put these ideas out there. Is it only the scientist that puts ethics aside in pursuit of their ‘art’? I think what is really under consider...

You cannot ‘ignore’ ethics. You make a choice and act based on your ethical views as opposed to the moralistic landscape of society. If someone believ...

You don’t appear to understand what ‘truth value’ means in terms of logical statements. The ‘truth value’ of ‘he will attack me’ is either true or fal...
