This is not a very clear definition because we don't know if there exists such a thing. Spinoza ties it with Substance being in itself (not depending ...
As for these posts.... You lack even the basic shame required of a man to avoid humiliating himself even more than he is already humiliated. It seems ...
After all those years of you claiming you studied Spinoza you still can't understand even the basics of his system. Have you bothered to read how Spin...
This is incoherent - you're using a notion of substance that would be completely foreign to Spinoza, Descartes, Aristotle, and the whole philosophic c...
So I make a remark about how much I've learned from 180 Proof, and what a tough opponent he was (and that I have found no one like him - which is true...
Sometimes I think you don't even realise how small you're becoming :) :-} Right... >:O It's easy to defame people when they can't defend themselves, a...
I haven't said it is superior to all those on this forum (gosh who would even think about that). I've said that amongst people I disagree with here, m...
Okay let me teach you :P type "site:forums.philosophyforums.com Something" without the quotes into google. This will allow you to search the domain fo...
I don't think idealism is incoherent - I just think Aristotelian realism is more simple and seems to describe the world much better. I've been reading...
180 Proof Ahh how I miss that man! I'd be interested to see this discussion, if you could offer a link to PF via http://www.cachedpages.com/ 180 Proof...
Quite honestly, I almost always root for the underdog. If Trump had never been the underdog, probably I would never have rooted for him. And I'm the f...
Every rich/powerful family has a founder - a person who got them rich. In the case of, say, Donald Trump, it's his father. The founder is the one that...
... No I'm saying what whatever the basic stuff of the world is - whether this is a material substance or a spiritual substance - then everything is m...
It depends on his character, but it is possible. However, even if he had little power, he would be willing to do a lot of evil things, only that he wo...
By using your judgement and judging objectively while doing that? There's obviously not way to get this right with certainty if that's what you're ask...
Can a sense of justice ever not be reactive? Doesn't justice always react to the way things are? Well I think it's a natural part of the functioning o...
Maybe but what does this have to do with the point I was making? The so called slave is upset at an injustice. This underlies that he has a sense of j...
I don't think this is too honest. The morality in question is formed of misjudgements about justice. When I complain that the dumb guy next door is ri...
Where else do you think they could be taking place? :s What does this mean? Okay. Think by analogy. For me to touch you, I need to be physical, made o...
Yes, but you'd have to know one value from each derivative. Say I start with f(x) = 3 and the function I'm looking for is 3 integrations up. First int...
How do you know Willow is a she? :s Okay let's take it sentence by sentence Dirty John >:) This means that God acts in the world, has effects in the w...
No - why would you think so? Furthermore I'm curious according to what grounds did you draw the "materialistic" vs "non-materialistic" distinction? It...
Without knowing the original function? In Taylor series the first element f(a) is the most important one in reconstructing the function - has the bigg...
You're not interested in what? If you're not interested don't worry - you'll lose in the political arena, that will be sufficient to get you intereste...
To what use? I would have preferred all of us not to read Kant, if this was what it took for us to be more virtuous. Yeah ... what's so great about th...
You are mistaken. Progressivism is the new form of organisation of capitalism. In order to get people to work for the big and large corporations (whic...
This is why I say they have the same logic. Look here: 1. A 2. B 3. If A and B then C 4. Therefore C 1. Socrates is a man 2. All men are mortal. 3. If...
Yes the conclusion of your two arguments is different, but the relationship between premises and conclusion is the same. In the former case, the relat...
In my opinion: 1. First and foremost do not participate in such a culture regardless of what you give up in order not to participate in it - similar t...
But there is a problem with them being logically identical: All men are mortal; Socrates is a man. Therefore, Socrates is mortal The conclusion of tha...
Increasing the ease of movement combined with encouraging displacement of people for material gain leads to extending the social fabric, in the same w...
If it is, then the "transcendent experience" is actually not transcendent at all but immanent, taking place in the world the same way sight, or hearin...
Yes but if you analyse the truth table of the conditional, you'll see that the conditional can be true even if "x implies A" is false (that's what mak...
Okay so you mean it has crisp, as opposed to vague existence. Definite and stable properties can be determined about it right? So finitude has to do w...
I don't understand. Hasn't Wayfarer stolen the language, words, ideas and expressions found in that Wikipedia sentence and attributed it as part of hi...
Wayfarer, did you plagiarise this from Wikipedia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendence_(philosophy) Does anyone here see a difference, because ...
