Maybe I should expand on that statement about ‘representation’. The most important term in phenomenology is ‘Intentionality’, which is the mode of ‘se...

We can already so this. Basically you just record the brainwaves and then apply that ‘thought’ to an action. It is more like programming a computer to...

I’m certain know the rules for tic-tac-toe.
November 01, 2019 at 03:10
Phenomenology isn’t about ‘representations’. The aim was to create a science of subjectivity - science of consciousness. Husserl’s concern was that ps...

There is nothing to change. You’re in a position of refuting goal posts exist. People have already offered examples of irrefutable knowledge - it is q...

I meant everything is phenomenon ‘of’ subjective consciousness. I was talking about phenomenology - where ‘existence’ of objects isn’t of direct conce...

Define perfect knowledge. The same argumentation goes against you too. If you don’t make explicit what ‘perfect knowledge’ is how is anyone to argue f...

Rewrite.
October 31, 2019 at 18:08
misquote. I still don’t know what you’re talking about. Better to leave it I think. Thanks
October 31, 2019 at 14:03
I’m afraid whatever you’re talking about bears no relation to phenomenology then. Semantics and linguistics are no the direct concern of the phenomeno...

Why is it? Are you suggesting that it is impossible to understand what a box is without the word box?
October 31, 2019 at 09:37
Words are intersubjective. Anyone can experience a box without sharing a common worded representation of box. It is the subjective of a box that matte...
October 31, 2019 at 08:10
This isn’t quite what phenomenology is about. It’s not merely a matter of words that gives an object. Subjectivity isn’t a give or take. Without subje...

Seriously. Skype?
October 30, 2019 at 15:27
That’s been done well enough others above. Circles etc.,. If you mean something more like ‘prefect organism’ you’d still have to establish the paramet...

You seem to agree? Don’t understand
October 30, 2019 at 13:14
I was expecting a definition of perfection? I can take a test and get a perfect score. Perfection is basically dependent upon the parameters it operat...

It’s worth listening to people who use more venom in their speech. Judaka can be direct and doesn’t veer from offending in order to make a point. We a...
October 30, 2019 at 12:17
The further point being that it can be easy to fall into a pit of blind speculation. Simply seeing what is and isn’t doubtful adjusts our perspective ...
October 30, 2019 at 10:37
Sorry, typo. I’m NOT denying ...
October 30, 2019 at 10:32
It is irrelevant if this is or isn’t a dream. The experience is subjectively present. We do generally act in the natural mode of being rather than pon...
October 30, 2019 at 10:30
I didn’t say ‘no you can’t’. You said you can’t and I agree. The point is noticing the modes of intentionality: speculating, thinking, feeling, saying...
October 30, 2019 at 10:28
You can interpret it that way if you wish. I never said any of that specifically. Note: the ‘you’ is a universal ‘you’ - inclusive of myself. I wasn’t...
October 30, 2019 at 09:50
That’s a pretty poor stance to take as you can, even if you accepted box in the most obvious way (which I don’t need to point out), then you could the...
October 30, 2019 at 09:18
What are you talking about?
October 30, 2019 at 09:00
For the love of god and baby jesus and all who sail in him, use a term NOT already in use. It’s a headache reading around the definition of ‘subjectiv...
October 30, 2019 at 08:58
Subjective experience. What can you and can’t you imagine? What do you merely believe you can imagine rather than actually imagine? It is really easy ...
October 30, 2019 at 08:52
I don’t see jumping straight in at ‘do Chimps have justice’, and such questioning, as reasonably grounding for a progressive discussion. It is like ex...
October 30, 2019 at 08:50
To be clearer, there is no assuming in phenomenological approach and no empirical measurements. A ‘box’ is a ‘box’ because it has sides (in the physic...
October 30, 2019 at 08:47
Some neuroscientific research favours the phenomenological approach, some doesn’t. What you say above is mostly irrelevant to the subjective experienc...
October 30, 2019 at 08:42
I’ve never offered this before on a forum. Skype?
October 30, 2019 at 08:39
The point of it is not to get drawn into what is ‘real’ or ‘existent’ - to ‘bracket out’ those questions as it doesn’t matter beyond experience in ter...
October 30, 2019 at 08:01
Husserl (aka ‘the father of Phenomenology’) Everything is phenomenon. I don’t even believe Kant meant there were two worlds? I guess you’re referring ...
October 30, 2019 at 07:27
I don’t think you understand. It is simply a philosophical position working from subjectivity - that is it is about subjective consciousness only.
October 30, 2019 at 07:12
It does no such thing. Anyway, I’ll just keep at eye out and jump in if I can. Probably not though tbh Thanks
October 30, 2019 at 06:59
So it is a phenomenological approach then? There was some theory crafting regarding neuroscience. I don’t seem to be able to find a way in here :(
October 30, 2019 at 06:36
Is anyone interested in talking about the phenomenological approach (Husserlian)? I just don’t really see where this discussion is going? There appear...
October 30, 2019 at 05:50
We have very different ideas about what evidence philosophy works with and our general view of the world. Thanks for expressing yourself.
October 29, 2019 at 08:59
Maybe I’m a bit less ‘hippy’ though. The term ‘love’ seems a bit overused and ambiguous for my liking.
October 29, 2019 at 08:10
Hardly surprising given that NATO was mainly set up to protect against the ‘Red Menace’. Would Russians invade and reclaim land if the heavy military ...

We also see left and right, hot and cold and numerous other flavoured antonyms (gradable, relational or complimentary). I am assuming you don’t consid...
October 29, 2019 at 07:53
I don’t think we’re going to get too far exchanging thoughts here. I can, I hope, at least assist you in pointing out parts you’ve written that would ...

Spaciotemporal position. Also, we cannot hold the entire object at the same time - we cannot ‘view’ it from every angle at once. In this respect the o...
October 29, 2019 at 07:36
That’s just your opinion :)
October 29, 2019 at 07:30
Don’t get me wrong. I get the gist of what you’re saying. The problem is knowing how you can determine what is Evil or Good. Is it possible for an Evi...

Don’t worry! Everyone else is going to die too :D

Gapminder is a very useful site for sure. Sad the guy is dead now. Was such a positive force.

I wasn’t even nearly trying suggest that. Child mortality is not a great thing. I wasn’t thinking much beyond that and women being able to manage thei...
