It can be: humanity might just have done patriarchal social construction throught its history. Just as money is a social construct which comes with so...
My big post will have to wait till the weekend when I can devote some hours to laying out all the social constructions of sex and gender, but I can sq...
People are labouring under the expectation gender means something other than gender. Gender isn't recognised as itself amongst many people. They think...
Hume is outright rejecting the claim you ascribe to these natural philosophers, physical necessity. It's not a question of ignorance of concept in the...
That's why he's one of the best metaphysicians and scientists. He doe not allow our concepts to override the question of what they world is doing. We ...
But that's the assumption: that all battleships will work like this, such that any which don't float have some kind of problem explicable in these rul...
The assumption is unscientific. If we apply the stipulation battleship will necessarily float, we place our own concepts about the battleship over how...
Spinoza's distinction between substance and modes is precisely understand all those three are true of all finite modes. Finites modes (X) are of the s...
Patriarchy refers to a feature of society and culture in which women are oppressed or devalued in relation to men. It isn't one specific action which ...
It's more than just a notion of women withholding sex. To think that supposes women were there to have sex with men in the first place, hence the with...
...yet she wasn't proposing it at all, as stated in her last paragraph. Several responses are working under the idea OP is suggesting every woman be a...
I'm not sure I'd be inclined to stick around to talk much given the level of engagement in most of the responses. Even amongst some of the people who ...
They aren't so different, just talk about different topics. Largely, the are translatable into each other. The differences of one we can put in the co...
I'll keep how "the problem of evil" is common to all moral decisions and how each of as acts as (a?) God under my hat then. The similarity between DCT...
I was making a pointed joke about the OP's argument just being another form of Divine Command Theory. Why did Banno have to listen to Reason? Well, Re...
It's alright, but probably a circumlocution. This is one of the strangest threads I've ever read. I have not seen a moral realist (which the OP appear...
We need to unpack this one a bit. Why does Hume makes this move? He's answering a question about a certain kind of "proof." Do we have experience of t...
Nature being to strong means Hume,in the terms you are using, thinks there are external objects. We are affected by nature in certain ways. Things hap...
I would say "garbage" is only an assertion of pejorative. In terms of anything "rational", which I assume we are taking to mean some kind of logical o...
You misunderstand my point. It's not about properties because sometimes they change. What stays the same is not an accidental or necessary property, b...
I am saying something else entirely. The words we use in this situation refer to something. They describe something. In making out statement, whether ...
So you're telling a falsehood then? These particles are not of this universe? More to the point, this move engaging in a special pleading. How it is t...
Clearly not, we are talking about something. "Universe" picks out a particular distinction, something is true in virtue of it. To speak of this univer...
I never said otherwise. Belonging to this universe is just a property of these particles. There isn't a seperate object of universe we might observe a...
But something has stayed the same: the universe. There is now a proton instead of an electron. In this change, something has stayed the same: we still...
Agreed. That's how it is the same universe. If we had another universe, then we would have two things and there would not be the one undergoing change...
The universe stayed the same. Otherwise, our universe would not have changed at all. We would instead just be talking about some different universe an...
Parmenides has it right. The reason change is an illusion is precisely because something else is involved. When a change occurs, the same defines it. ...
Well, that's the trick. I mean they are always entirely different, despite any similarities they might have. No matter how similar I am to the penguin...
Always. That's how analogies work. Two different things are noted to be similar in some respect. The trouble here is in the space question, material e...
In which case you are really in little disagreement with the nominalist: like you, they hold potentials are non-existent. Both of you look out into th...
Not true. Remember the problem was supposedly that possibilities had to exist, had to possess the univocal or equivocal sense of an actual state. If w...
This intuition is correct, but it has a serious consquence for our account of possible worlds: they cannot exist all (since existing things are actual...
If the only constant is change, how can it be that changes remain constant? The world would have to cease chaging to avoid violalting itself, yet if i...
Metaphysics trying to describe gender or sex by talking about something else are doomed to failure. If you are trying to find gender or sex be the fac...
I'm inclined to say that means you don't really see me. When presented with my singular difference, you seem to want to insist you don't I exist unles...
Ah but that is the reverse mirage formed on trying to find other in properties: we already know our singular selves in that situation. Who are you ask...
I'm not sure I've ever seen csalisbury speak proverbial English, poetic flourish has been his demeanour for as long as I can remember. My feeling is h...
We're always floating in the aether. Whether we manage to find ourselves there or not, each of us is one floating around others. Identity is always si...
The tricky thing is there isn't an answer to these question. Gender it always a question of the particular identity itself. It has no standard for whe...
The answer to this one is a bit complex. There a many layers. One level is a personal identity, how someone understands how they belong, similar to pe...
I already did in my previous post. A social state of privilege or oppression is falsifiable. We make observation of whether it exists on society or no...
I wasn't saying about physical identifying attributes. My point was that a person, in how they exist within a social context, a material state of the ...
We don't even have to go that far. The individual exists within an environment which affects them. From the point of an individualist, one needs to co...
People have been doing it from the start. That's how they identity any instance of privilege as opposed to not. From observation of society and cultur...
It also not even true. Privilege is falsifiable by the social conditions. There is a existing/empirical reason some people are identified as having pr...
Depends, to a lot of the people you are talking about, sex is also a social construct because it is our understanding of where someone belongs in cert...
We aren't talking about Marxism, but aspects of social studies which Peterson labels "neo-marxist." I don't know what you take Marxism to be here, but...
