Let me clarify then. As Bede Griffin wrote, finding your deeper feminine side is what religion is about. Spirituality can be good and reading Greek cl...

Every belief has tortured it's enemies. Religion though is the most widespread psychological disease in the world. It obviously is not rational to ask...

What convinces one person because they want the disease of religion to cloud their mind will rightfully look like nonsense to a normal person
July 20, 2021 at 20:43
Those are statements without evidence. Talking about things part from the world is very strange and unnecessary
July 20, 2021 at 19:07
You're already crazy
July 19, 2021 at 04:03
I can make any assertion into steps like that too. You haven't prove things outside the world exist, that I exist outside the world, that matter has n...

Buddhism was the original structuralism with their idea of utter dependence. Logic and the world, everything in fact, was dependent but not dependent ...

PBS also has one saying bb is correct
July 19, 2021 at 00:35
If you replace numbers with sets, do you keep the same ontology? What of structuralism?
July 18, 2021 at 23:30
Then how do satellites work. The Bible never make anything
July 18, 2021 at 23:12
The previous page I quoted and commented on all of it. It's OK if you can't make an argument but you're too much of a hot head to have a discussion wi...
July 18, 2021 at 23:11
I already quoted every sentence of the OP each at a time to show there is no argument presented. Bye

A person on the constraint of a deity is not free. A person who follows his conscience because he was taught to is free.
July 18, 2021 at 22:37
My initial guess was that a set is something that contains and not something in its own right. So zero remains a nothingness of anything in that case....
July 18, 2021 at 22:09
When Hegel speaks of Leibniz's Monads, he says the monads are independent of the mind and dependent on them at the same time. This is the heart of Heg...

Position: biology is the basis of our rights, thoughts, and value. You state: "To put it another way, if you think we are lumps of meat - just lumps o...
July 18, 2021 at 16:23
As I understand Hegel, we know about human nature epistemically by learning about God. God is not a consciousness apart from us although with Kant we ...
July 18, 2021 at 16:17
I didn't know about structuralism in math! That the number one is an idea, a true idea, seems to me to be the basis of all that follows though, kinda ...
July 18, 2021 at 16:14
Could someone rightfully say that 0, 1, and points are not in any sense sets? Or is there more too that?
July 18, 2021 at 03:43
You think thinking itself is immaterial and matter dead. I think that matter has the *potentiality* to be a living loving thinking evaluating thing Th...
July 18, 2021 at 02:14
Whether it's the divine Intellect of Spinoza's writings or an interpretation of Kant, a mind by itself can't have power to act, on it's own or thru a ...
July 18, 2021 at 00:28
It's not difficult to see the difference between something alive and something dead. We see this even with plants. You say something outside space is ...
July 18, 2021 at 00:10
Nietzsche asks whether at the moment of death you would want to relive your life. If you would, then you succeeded in life
July 17, 2021 at 23:41
If dualism is true, what is wrong with killing someone? The body alone dies, the outer shell, so you say, but the identity survives?
July 17, 2021 at 13:54
I am a twin and they have separate bodies. Duh. You dont understand natural law which is why you make unfounded statements over and over again
July 17, 2021 at 13:51
Wow that's simply put. Thanks
July 17, 2021 at 01:56
It seems to me you can state the reason you can move the odd numbers in line with the naturals but can't move the countable in line with the uncountab...
July 17, 2021 at 00:24
"Not because of the shape or size or colour or location of your physical body. For if your body was a different shape, or size, or colour, or location...
July 17, 2021 at 00:21
No because I've asked people many times and they bring up the diagonal thing, although this just shows there are infinity more uncountable than counta...
July 17, 2021 at 00:14
So value is objective but not necessary? Maybe on an ontological level something simple is always completely one with some composite, everytime
July 17, 2021 at 00:11
If you know why we can do: Odd numbers: 1 3 5 6.... Natural numbers: 1 2 3 4... but can't do: Countable: 1 2 3 4... Uncountable: 1 2 3 4... then say i...
July 17, 2021 at 00:03
It seems to me the natural numbers are a type of power set to the odd. If I imagine (not a bad word) any infinity as a ruler going off east into forev...
July 16, 2021 at 23:56
But there are infinite more natural numbers, just as with the reals. Is the point that there are far more infinities of reals than infinity of natural...
July 16, 2021 at 23:34
The possibility of the soul has to be proved, since it's nowhere in experience It's existence has to be proved It's value has to be proved. Why can't ...
July 16, 2021 at 18:36
But there is no argument in the OP
July 16, 2021 at 18:31
There is no moral value to something that isn't material. You have it backwards
July 16, 2021 at 18:30
It's worth while to read Plato but when he says the soul is immaterial and that something immaterial like this doesn't come in more or less, he is tal...
July 15, 2021 at 22:33
I thought you meant Pinkards commentary on that work. But the Phenomenology is not an easy work. I had to read it 4 times before I understood it fully...
July 15, 2021 at 22:02
It's interesting that you know some Greek. But Plato is part of the Aristotelean and Thomistic tradition which tries to prove there is a God and that ...
July 15, 2021 at 21:42
Schelling and Hegel accept noumena as God, of which we are a part. So they accept what Kant says but submerge all phenomena into the ocean of God and ...
July 15, 2021 at 21:28
I read that too. He has another book on Hegel too. But neither are by Hegel
July 15, 2021 at 21:14
Which book did you read? If you didn't understand it you need a commentary. I've read most of Hegel and understood it all. I could write a paragraph b...
July 15, 2021 at 19:27
For Hegel there is mind as receptive and mind as concept. At least read one of his books before you criticize, geez
July 15, 2021 at 19:11
The soul is the harmony among parts. There were Homo Denisovan, Homo Erectus, Homo Neanderthal, and many others
July 15, 2021 at 18:57
Organization and matter are simultaneous and reflect each other. A thing is determined (a one) and undetermined (flux) at once
July 15, 2021 at 18:50
Every part of that argument is wrong
July 15, 2021 at 18:45
Yet he also says in the work that we see purpose in the world with judgment just as we follow morality with practical reason, but all the same pure re...
July 14, 2021 at 23:43
Is the noumena in our minds (subjective), outside us (objective), or both, or neither? I wonder about this a lot. "The mind as concept realizes it too...
July 14, 2021 at 23:11
It was meant thusly. Sartre writes of being and nothing spread like ripples to compose the universe. The Ideas of Plato are in the world and in us. Th...
