I like sushi

I’m not a fan of religious institutions and recognise that the term ‘gentile’ effectively means - by the doctrine of scripture - anyone who isn’t a ‘J...

Regarding Nominalism, are you happy to say that ‘abstract entities’ such as ‘numbers’ exist but that they are not objects? From my understanding of no...

You don’t, and haven’t, explained why. What does this mean? Point being you should perhaps listen to the comments of those that read what you write an...

And all I am saying is that a ‘point’ is only known in reference to other ‘point/s’. Whether the space is imagined or not it is still abstracted from ...

So, what do you mean by ‘real’ in reference to ‘change’?

I think you miss the point terrapin is making. Do you then ask if ‘yellow’ or ‘numbers’ are real because they don’t do anything? It’s the same princip...

Just to clarify. I can think of the concept “one” but only because I understand it’s logical application within a space-time-substance frame. Outside ...

An abstract set understood, and ONLY understood, in reference to spatial. You cannot think ‘non-spatially’ it is not possible. That is my point. There...

It does doesn’t exist. That is the point. You CANNOT think without reference to space, time and matter/substance. Remove any one of these and you’re l...

Our subjective appreciation off time is affected by many things. For instance if you’re surrounded by red time appears to slow, and blue makes time ap...

I don’t really like “debates” myself (unless I am arguing against my personal position). I also think the term ‘argue’ has a more negative connotation...

You can just as easily argue the reverse and come to the opposite conclusion - meaning that the non-spatial is a subset of the spatial known by us as ...

No. I think I’ll do something about Ontology and Epistemology ... not sure yet, so suggestions are welcome. Will start next one Wednesday at the lates...

Your aware that that isn’t generally what many people refer to as “God”. Not quite sure that “beyond space” means anything other than by metaphor. We ...

You don’t need this many words.

@"TheGreatArcanum" It says nothing. Define “God” ... oh wait! You cannot. No doubt you’ll say that is the ‘point’?

Considering that the footnotes are longer than the main body of text you’re lucky to get ANY kind of response. Note: the constant insults and arroganc...

Posted here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/5838/essay-number-one-perceptions-of-experience-and-experiences-of-perception If someone wants ...

This has holes too: Ignorance is no refutation. Not knowing is a requirement of questioning. We can assume cause and reason. We can explicitly work in...

Why is there anything? The best we can say is that we’re existing. Other than that we’re limited to a certain kind of questioning and that future line...

This is not a logical position: I put forward my reasoning which you called ‘rubbish’. What is “sufficient reason” and who/what is doing the reasoning...

Whether or not we can have a logical interpretation of mystical writing or a mystical interpretation of logic is neither here nor there. I think it is...

Mixing mysticism with logic doesn’t work. Mysticism is illogical. If it wasn’t it’d be called logic not mysticism. “Rubbish” is not an argument agains...

None of the above makes any reasonable sense because the false assumption is that there are “final causes”. There are no examples of final causes, yet...

This is perfectly normal and science has a lot to say about this as well as historical documentation. The Romans and Greeks often talked about a “seco...

@"Frank Apisa"Thanks for persisting. That is the best I could’ve asked for. See you around :)

The OP was more than the title. Explicitly the mention of being labelled an “agnostic” and not having an opinion is not to be concerned about said ite...

Picking an argument? What are you asking me to refute? You don’t appear to have strung a single coherent thought together. I asked repeatedly what the...

Maybe I’m missing SOMETHING or maybe you are. I’m not into evasive wordplay. The bottomline is you don’t care to outline what you’re talking about, bu...

I least I made an effort to define what I was talking about. To be an atheist is not to believe in, and/or consider the thought of, a deity and/or an ...

You disregard the “Whatever it is?”

I think platforms like reddit are where many people go now. This is an old fashioned and perhaps a less daunting medium given that there are 13+ milli...

I answered the OP’s question precisely. If you want something else what is it? They said they weren’t “agnostic” because that is an opinion and that t...

My becoming may seem unbecoming to those who believe they’ve arrived - covered in their sticky mess of “self-love”.

You’re an atheist then. Get it? You’re not bothered about it! If you were an agnostic you’d THINK about it and be undecided. From what you’ve said you...

So you believe in a “deity”? Do you believe in an “afterlife”? If the answer to both of these questions is “No” then you’re not a theist. If it is “Ye...

Those that wish to divide are A wHoles.

I’d ask for a definition of “soul” beyond the generic response of “use a dictionary”. Some equate the term with psyche or mind, others with consciousn...

Here is the pdf: http://public-library.uk/ebooks/55/76.pdf Take a look see at Letters 23-25 if you don’t fancy the whole thing. It’s a really nice rea...

I’ve written 2000 words. Going to smash out around another 500-1000 and then edit it back down to 2000. It’s basically just me riffing. I’m open to an...

This is something that has surprised me across forums. I thought that people with a genuine interest in some given subject would jump at the chance to...

No takers? :(

Never mind. Have fun in your mystical little garden :)

You’re being absurd if that’s what you think I meant. The relation is observed and measured. Thus ‘laws’ are established and further refined. I wasn’t...

Does that mean you admit it is mysticism? Wrong. That is not what was meant. You’re referring to an item preceding language (or rather you THINK you a...

I think I get the gist of what you’re attempting. The problem is you’re necessarily bound to the use of language (as in the words you’ve written) and ...

If you didn’t understand that the mathematics derives from measuring physical phenomenon then you’d likely make the faulty assumption you have in the ...

That’s gibberish. You cannot agree AND disagree with what I said. You admit it is a linguistic issue then persist that it isn’t. You cannot have it bo...

A set is a selection of items with specific attributes. To talk of a set of things with attributes is to exclude nothing. This is no more than a misap...

What flavour of Nominalism do you find attractive? I am assuming that you don’t regard it as a doctrine to live by merely a useful perspective you hav...
