Mww

I also hold general disregard for personal descriptors, and in this particular case, I hold with no opinion which would benefit from having one.

While this is certainly correct, the OP asked about nothing more than the absence of opinion.

The additional cognition is necessary. Otherwise, the soul remains merely a conception, which is an analytic judgement, without regard to its reality,...

I would agree. Granting the conception of soul doesn’t require an opinion concerning the possibility of its existence. That would be a separate, addit...

Reason may not construct reality per se, but it can be said reason constructs our sense of reality, or, constructs reality for us. “...(...) all our i...

While I accept most of this, I find myself wondering what would be accomplished by “....superimposing rational concepts upon existence...” given “...t...

Within the context of continental Enlightenment epistemological philosophy, imagination is a faculty in use both a priori and a posteriori. In the lat...

Ahhh, yes.....the infamous and oft-misrepresented Copernican Revolution, I’m guessing. THAT kinda messed up for everybody. Thanks.

Do you say the last because you think him guilty of the first two? None of his epistemological tenets are being used by name on this thread, so......j...

We still got unpacked boxes from cross-country move three years ago. Tip of the pointy hat, and.....thanks....and......see ya later.

In closing, I’ll give you two of four. Humans reason, and the fullest use of reason is logic. Th only way you can refute the notion of pure reason, th...

Yeah, we see this form of truth in jury-based judicial systems. ———————— I’m not sure any respectable philosophy advocates knowledge of anything absol...

You too.

Just a footnote...rhetorically speaking....thought you might be interested. If you didn’t already know. Peirce’s pragmatic maxim, first put to print i...

I don’t have to know what everybody knows to know there is at least one thing nobody knows. As bad as when I said, “It doesn’t have to be any more com...

I reject the notion that behavior grounds morality. Behavior may be said to ground ethics, which in turn may be said to be representative of subjectiv...

WHAT did we name? WHAT existed? You’re always saying we do this stuff, but never say what we’re doing it to. I suppose we name that which exists in it...

Yes. Nobody knows how what appears to be mind comes from what the brain does. ————————— Yes. I’ve said before, to me they are the same thing. Or, I se...

You think? Oh. I’m happy for you.

Thanks.

OK. Good place to start. To stipulate point of view invariant relegates experience to irrelevance because of the concept of invariant cancels it, but ...

Yeah, that seems to be all the rage these days, from Pinker, Fodor, Crane, even Dennett, fercryinoutloud....with this LOT theory. Language is far and ...

Well, you know what they say........mockery is the fool’s critique.

Nahhhh, let’s not. I don’t know how to write in English.

No. Yes. (Ok...only partly) Humor me, for comparative purposes. Besides, you’ve asked me to expound, and I did. Now I’m calling fair play.

Which what? Law? Little bit experience, little bit heredity, little bit personality, whatever the moral agent thinks best for him. Subjective moral re...

Freedom. The idea of freedom as primitive causality.

This is catastrophically wrong. To make a mistake purposefully is an instance of immorality, of disrespect for a moral law in the form of negligence o...

Yes, quite, and the ground of the intrinsic circularity of pure reason. And why the idea of law is incorporated into the moral condition, insofar as r...

Gotta go with what ya got, doncha know. Why almost? ————————- As...the promising and the making of a promise? May I say I think I handled that well en...

Being right, or its complement, mistaken, is a rational judgement; being good, or its complement, not good, is a moral judgement. The former is legisl...

He still had to split-think.

Who’s the Philebus here, and who’s the Socrates?

I don’t hold with the concept of “moral in kind”. One is moral or he is not, and either only with respect to himself.

I said is an instance of moral relativism. I should have said subjective moral relativism, because the good of a promise is always internal. Your “not...

I wasn’t asked that, so no, that wasn’t what I was saying. An insincere promise is a deceit, so I would say it isn’t following the lawful procedure.

No. I said promising itself follows a procedure grounded in a law of willful choosing, which is always morally good. The procedure is morally good, fr...

The thing you’re not agreeing with, and now asking me if I agree with, is derived from an improper understanding of what I said. What I categorically,...

Yeah, austere gum-flapping and Socratic dialogues each have their place, but....helps not to take this stuff too seriously.

As you wish. Hardly anybody does.

Nowhere is it said human nature is subsumed necessarily under moral agency, such that a moral agent is prohibited from operating under the rationale o...

You do see, don’t you, that in making that threat you’ve already violated two of the three forms of the C.I., which makes you morally unworthy. You’re...

What you mean is, one not cognizant of these a priori conceptions probably isn’t a deontological moral agent. There is nothing herein to say he may no...

A kind person has no moral disposition? And a morally inclined person is unkind? How would that work?

It could be the only possible form and have insurmountable problems. It is rather insurmountable to act in accordance with a universal law, when there...
