Lots can be said about it. In fact, it is what we are doing here: distinguishing real pain behaviour from mock pain behaviour. Our words are doing it....
Properly stated, as a realist, it would be a claim one's imagination was in one's mind. In other words, just a recognition one's imagining are states ...
It's not that there is high standard of falsification, but that falsification is impossible. People aren't squabbling over what appears in phenomena o...
So you say... but how can we trust this if "Reason evolves" is not true? If "reason evolves" does not carry across times, then there will be instances...
It's not really God of Gaps. The list a metaphysical postion things do not depend upon our mind. Questions of whether things have been explained in ou...
I don't think there is any difference between the two. In the stories in which we harm others with our flaws, we are the villains of the piece. We wer...
"Whiteness" isn't referencing the existence of a person with white skin, but the existence within the social context of white idenity and its relation...
My point was any biological trait is on equivalent terms as hair length. DNA, chromosomes, genitals , etc., are just as much finite instances of the b...
Chromosomes are just another appearance. Like hair, body parts,genitals, etc., they are a biological trait reported to entail sex. One which might be ...
Theories about perpetual motion machines amuse me. If it's always moving, how is there a counterfactual situation of it not moving to theorise against...
Everything we experience is equally a self-generation. Our body doesn't produce just the appearance of colours, but anything we encounter with our sen...
Not true, the claims at stake are of objective truth, a specific social relation and power. The philosphies grouped as post modernism have never claim...
The sort of example you are talking about there is easily refuted because it ignores the self-definition of a discipline. Math, for example, cannot be...
I don't know about ideological position (that springs to mind certain political nations which aren't relevant to my point here), but certainly a logic...
Indeed. A body with a penis will be a body with a penis, whether it is "male" or "female." The sex identity doesn't determine the bodily state at all....
The point was your account is clearly mistaken: one can give a body with a penis the sex category of woman without denying she has a penis. No doubt t...
Sex is nothing but another name, a categorisation of identity. Nature stuff, the bodies, are unaffected by this categorisation. If we have, for exampl...
I'd say that's how can appear, but it's a little bit more complicated than that. People are not infrequently, at least for a time, trans when their mi...
I fear your reaction here is exactly that they were describing. Usually, a very literal account is in play with these sort of statements. What does it...
The trouble is a univocity thesis is first and foremost a nominalist one, at least with respect to how the term is being used in this thread. Univocit...
Seems to me like we do not subject accounts we know to be perception to a supposition of it being an illusion... so I suspect we might be closer to th...
Explanation is always complete because it details some thing-- "It has been explained"-- but never exhaustive because there are things of which a give...
I'm not sure why anyone would need omniscience to simply know X. It seems strange to think they would need it to be certain about X either. In either ...
Covered by what I said, both of those are, in the same sense, an explanation. (or in Leibnizian terms, both are true by PSR). The problem has never be...
My Spinozisic intentions must not have been clear enough... Pluarity is impossible because we are dealing with explanation. One cannot have two forms ...
I don't care where you draw the line or not. Any fundamental particle is named just as much as a mountain. If we cannot speak of mountains before we n...
You realise this is special pleading: the objects matter, rocks, snow and dirt are equally things we have named. If there is a problem with the things...
There is no object independent of the meaning of your subjectivity. All objects, whether you know about them or not, are in a conceptual relation to y...
Exactly, which is why any given thought we might have cannot define an object. Any object is more than our thought about it. There are relations betwe...
It does indeed. Examples are incredibly abundant: every single object subsists itself. In being a distinct thing, each object cannot be granted by any...
I'm saying it doesn't lead to that, at least under this account of Kant. Kant isn't rejecting existence of things before humans here, just the existen...
It's one a major interpration of Kant, though significantly different than might Wayfarer suggest. Under this account of Kant, noumena is just an empt...
I'm not quite sure what you think was going on. My point was she recognised she existed with penis, but understood it doesn't belong or ought not be t...
There is no isomorphism within the Platonic realm either, each concept is unique. The formalisation of 2+2=4 as just symbols is different to the conce...
You're missing the point. She is her body. She (the woman in question) recognises it. She moves to alter her body (a penis, we'll be reductive for sim...
Mathematical objects do not have isomorphism either, for each is it own particular concept. 2+2=4 is not the same as another, different concept of 2+2...
It means the given definition is lie. Supposedly, the body is meant to make the identity, but this is not the case. We find the presence of the body i...
Yes, real, but not existent on Earth. When you encounter something in a dream you are experiencing something which is there. It's a fact of the world ...
These issues are resolved. Dreams are also directly perceived. They are just different things we are encountering. To see dream dragon is to encounter...
Both of those definitions comment on identity. They don't describe bodies at all. The account is of which people can belong an idenity (male or female...
Sartre is posed deliberately against nothingness as a nihilism. The point is an examination of our accounts of ourselves as given by concepts finds no...
But that's just it: no-one does it. The often discussed "wrong body" trans person, for example, does not misidentify biological facts. They know what ...
Biological sex is a lie about sex and it's relation to people, as sex is an identity not a biological fact. Sex says nothing about the states of affai...
For sure, my point I'm the notion of biological sex is exactly like gender is this respect. It is not a description of bodies, what bodies can do or w...
Sex, in this sense, is not accurate at all. At best, it's a description of a sex identity, at worst it is a lie about sex and biology. Either way, it ...
More along the lines the understand it to legitimately identify certain people, such there is a group talked about, thought about, understood to be tr...
