No need to label you as being this or that. Psychologism isn’t a philosophical position just merely a means to distinguish types of argumentation as f...

That is a psychologistic argument then.

I dunno what your position is regarding psychologism. This may help you clarify: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/psychologism/

So you see my point now?
May 26, 2019 at 13:16
Facts are not truths. What more is there to discuss? I guess the question then morphs slightly to ask “Is existence a fact or a truth?” Facts are rela...

It help to pick a subject. Are you talking about pantheistic ideas compared to monotheistic ideas OR belief in the afterlife? I don’t think a belief i...

My mistake. I thought you were implying that logic is created rather than discovered. That is basically psychologism.
May 26, 2019 at 05:01
My point was more about setting up propositions that refuse analysis. That is pretending that A is not A as a genuine claim and calling such p so it c...

@"schopenhauer1"@"TheMadFool" That is essentially psychologism. Arguments for psychologism haven’t really held much weight historically.

@"Harry Hindu" Wrong again. I referred to one of, if not, the most famous experiment known in this particular area whilst you made an anecdotal commen...

Oh, sorry! You’re asking about ‘freewill’? No thanks :)

It is true. Simply saying “not true” doesn’t make it so. In an F1 race a yellow flag has a particular meaning. “Yellow” doesn’t exist detached from an...

What about sense of authorship where there is none? Libet’s experiment highlighted that well enough. We’re biased to assume authorship when the outcom...

I didn’t actually say that. I used the terms EXTREME and RADICAL alongside PC. I am not saying PC is inherently bad, but that the use of it in hyperbo...

I’m reading Logical Investigations by Husserl, at the moment. He is asking these kinds of questions. It’s been a bit of a slog initially, but I’m maki...
May 25, 2019 at 13:34
The meaning depends on the context of use; much like how ‘art’ can mean practice, aptitude or object. What is it in regards to psychology? We’re too b...

The Laws of Thought are not created. It is certainly a very slippery area to look at because our use of language is so messy and nuanced that the most...

It isn’t meant to. Husserl’s phenomenology is a science of consciousness/subjectivity NOT a science of physics. Physics is the science of physics. Hus...

I can agree with that, but I’m certainly not inclined to agree with Owen Jones about much else. Just go to show that everyone is capable of making a g...

Look ... never mind. Anyone can read what I’ve said. I talked about PC in terms of a simple liberal idea and as “radical” and “extreme”. So I didn’t i...

I never said it is all bad (PC). I have already given examples of what I mean. If the situation is more right leaning the left slowly gains momentum. ...
May 25, 2019 at 04:50
I’m simply saying that A is not A necessarily leads to absurdity. If the propositions set out are inherently meaningless they don’t have any use. Much...

I don’t know what “Left PC” is? If you don’t know what PC is then we’re wasting our time here. I’ve not mentioned the political ideology you mentioned...

It’s just common sense. If people are pushing hard left ideas and they are disliked then there will be push back - the position with weight is the pos...
May 25, 2019 at 01:44
What? A and B are absurdities. They cannot be true, false, not true or not false. A is A, is, A is not A. B is B, is, B is not B. The trick of the mys...
May 25, 2019 at 01:19
I don’t think you seem to get it. The rise of the far right is due to the extreme left enabling them. Also, right does mean bad and left doesn’t mean ...

I am saying that A and B are absurd, not false. They cannot have truth value nor be regarded in an ontological or epistemic sense. I’m sure you’ll dis...

At least the fall to the bottom is shorter for the fool. The bigger the fool the less likely they are to recognise a fall.
