He admits to grabbing women by the pussy. Perhaps it is just boasting, but if so, thinking that this is something to boast about says a lot. The fact ...
If by oligarchy you simply mean rule by a few then by definition the rulers of a democratic republic are a few, although the few are actually many, bu...
As I am sure you know, the best people will not work for him. I don't think they could have done better at selecting impartial jurors, although team T...
If they let you do it without them wanting him to do it, it is. If he grabs them by the pussy without their consent then he is admitting to assault. G...
Well, he does posit a demon but I do not think he is demonizing our fallibility. We do, but he does not argue that this is reason for panic or a vorte...
You don't know what is to be done but think something should be done, even though you don't know that what should be done will make things better rath...
That appears to be what he is arguing. I don't know if he actually believes what he says though. He also argues that Trump was just boasting. I don't ...
He is speaking as a "star" about what stars can do. On the other side of your misrepresentation, he is not talking about some particular person but "t...
The fact is, he supported Mussolini. If he thought that Mussolini and/or fascism could lead to democracy he was wrong. Are you suggesting that Trump's...
Another inept Trumpian apologetic. Michels supported Mussolini, you support Trump. Same difference. One fascist autocrat or another. Rather than the r...
Proof: He did not grab one woman he was talking to in front of the cameras, therefore contrary to what he said, he has never grabbed any women by the ...
He does not doubt that there are: At this point the ontological status of these things has not been determined. Only that they are: but perhaps nothin...
Although the common picture of Descartes focuses on the dualism of mind and body, it should not overshadow the unity of his work as a whole which incl...
As with the God of Genesis Descartes creates the 'objective reality' in the Meditations in six days. Without jumping too far ahead, a bit of explanati...
No. To doubt is to think. He says so explicitly in the third meditation quoted above. It did: (Second Meditation) He does not doubt he exists. That is...
There are different ways in which one might hide. An important and influential contemporary work on this is Leo Strauss' "Persecution and the Art of W...
There is nothing fallacious about it. If you begin by doubting everything is there anything that cannot be doubted, anything about which you cannot be...
Unfortunately, this translation does not include the Dedication, Preface, and Synopsis. They can be found here Writing in the shadow of what happened ...
If you bring it up then it is up to you to defend it, not leave it up to someone who is not here to defend. What is the relationship between morality ...
Your ideal of well-informed, rational people with shared goals and ideas is nowhere to be found. The standards that might apply to science and technol...
With regard to the saying showing distinction: but: What is it that a proposition shows but cannot be said? There are two reasons why Wittgenstein att...
His a priori assumption is that there are elementary propositions. That in the final analysis we have a configuration of simple names of simple object...
I think this might be what is really at issue for you, at least in part, although it does not explain your apparent animosity. You like speculative ph...
How can we compare a proposition to reality without empirical observation? This needs to be read against what he says about metaphysical propositions....
These were direct quotes from the text. True propositions are those that accurately picture reality, propositions that state the facts. The totality o...
Following the Tractatus, there is a distinction between facts, which are a combination of objects (2.01), and statements of facts which are propositio...
Right: The problem is atomic propositions are an a priori assumption. He never identifies an elementary proposition. Without elementary propositions w...
What can be put into the form of a proposition is not a proposition. The fact: the baby is crying The proposition: the baby is crying The latter is ab...
Of course it is part of his later philosophy. The question is, where does it fit as part of his later philosophy? You say: What does it mean for logic...
What he being said when the baby cries? It it communicating but is it trying to communicate and what is it saying? My dog will knock over her metal wa...
Plato, following Socrates, is a zetetic skeptic. This is redundant since both terms originally mean to inquire. He knows he does not know. He desires ...
