you only need the continuation of your own memory set, imagination, and will, to intuit the existence of the concept of unity. all of those things are...
what’s incoherent is your entire philosophy. the man who holds that all is changing all the time except change itself, and also that there is no such ...
how is the non-spatial point supposed to remain within the spatial reference frame without slipping out of it like sand? the mind has a dual aspect, o...
it means the non-local aspect of reality which is not atemporal, but a subset of Absolute Time, i.e. the persistence of the essence of existence itsel...
A trinitarian unity of Absolute Memory, Will, and Imagination. Of course, to be self aware, one need only use their will and imagination to reference ...
you only need to meditate and treat others, to include all lifeforms, as if they are yourself, in top of seeking knowledge. you can achieve the mystic...
no, I don't trust non-mystics and non-metaphysicians to give meaning to empirical or intuitive truths. we must distinguish between existence as it was...
you're contradicting yourself again. if there exists a non-spatial aspect to reality, the all isn't material. so saying that all causes are material c...
if it involves the will, it's teleological. the will cannot be instantiated without reason, that reason can be in itself. 'i.e. making noises for the ...
a first cause has its final cause contained within itself and is therefore teleological, meaning that they are presupposed by reason and thereby inten...
you have so understand the nature of materialism, which suggest that the causal chain is without beginning and without end and without disruption, so ...
you’d be making noise with intention of annoying someone, or making noises for the purpose of making noise, or maybe, for the purpose of bringing your...
thank you for responding Josh, i know how hard it is to write a book because I’ve been writing one for about two to three years now, so much respect t...
yes we should make it universally applicable. because if there exists a single first cause, in any sense of the word, the physical chain of causation ...
there’s nothing controversial said here. It only seems so because you guys study the world and the words of others and not yourselves. in the act of w...
I see a bunch of claims based on opinion but no rational arguments based on empirical truths of fact or truths of reason. this is not how I operate, I...
and why is that? because there is no evidence that mind cannot exist apart from matter, yet materialists still continue to assert that it cannot anywa...
It seems that you didn't read the whole thing, I gave an example of a final cause. Ironically, in saying that "there are no examples of final causes,"...
Wow... I can’t believe that someone who fancies themselves to be a philosopher just wrote this. This might be the most ignorant thing that I’ve ever r...
:lol: you don’t know the first thing about logic. you still haven’t figured out that you lost the argument before you even started. the OP put nominal...
it’s a lost cause with you, you’re opinion won’t change if I prove it to you, and it won’t change if I don’t. Not even sure why anyone bothers to argu...
@janus don’t you love how Terrapin takes one small quotation out of context and then refutes it while ignoring everything else that was said in the me...
from what I’ve already said, the steps of logic which lead to the verification of my claim are very easy figure out; it seems that you’re too invested...
because there exists at least one final cause, first causes must exist, and if first causes exist, the universe has a first and final cause. it’s quit...
there is an abstract aspect to reality as well, if there are abstract concepts with no spatial dimensions, and this must be the case because space can...
if the law of identity isn't eternal, then it came into being once upon a time. if it is eternal, everything that exists is contained within an eterna...
No, Hegel is a fool, his dialectical process is pretty much correct, but his philosophy is so convoluted and poorly written that he did more harm to i...
its not hopeless to draw out why imagination, willing, and memory which together as a trinitarian unity define subjectivity, because where there is on...
Well, I have a definition for God, of course. If God exists, God cannot be not Self-Aware, that which is self-aware necessarily possesess a will, an i...
the essence of existence must be preserved over time because that which exists, persists in existing. the essence of a thing is abstract. the only pos...
the set of all sets is the set of all memories, and Memory, that is, a perfect, infallible, Absolute Memory, just the same as the set of all sets, bot...
yes, if you still haven’t achieved the mystical union, you’ve yet to achieve the pinnacle of human evolution. as a result, you remain, in comparison t...
language isn’t defined by human language. logic is language, mathematics is language, so of course, what am saying is bound by language, yes, but not ...
according to your understanding, it seems, the abstract set which contains all the parts of a thing, and distinguishes it from other things, comes int...
Yes, a set is a defined selection of specific qualities that are distinguished from other sets and also from nothingness, that is, an empty set with n...
if the essence of a thing involves only that unseen aspect which remains unchanged so long as it exists, how is that we can have knowledge of the esse...
I don't believe that all essences are eternal, so I'm not an essentialist, or a platonist in the truest sense of the word. However, I do believe that ...
so the meaning of the word “horse” which means, ‘that’ animal existing in the world, came after the existence of the word “horse”? That means that the...
either meaning and thought are mutually exclusive, which is impossible, meaning is a subset of thought, in which case, the existence of the thought pr...
