And your being creepy for always bringing up a previous discussion. I've read the works, got the dates of them mixed up, and forgot there was a 6th se...
If matter randomly forms into an organism, then meaningful thoughts can arise from this matter because it has a brain. That's the obvious answer to wh...
All you've said is meaning can't spring from matter. Yet not you nor anyone else knows what matter is ontologically. You can't rule out meaning coming...
I don't see how you have any unique argument on this question. It's the same old "matter must be designed to produce consciousness" without actually p...
Interestingly, we know ourselves as conscious and spiritual at least in leaning and learn more about matter as we grow up from childhood. "When, in ta...
You analyze the conscious mind and conclude it can't come with its a priori thoughts straight from matter. But it doesn't! You have to think subconsci...
I think Bartricks is saying "let's imagine the first two evolved members of mammals. How can they talk to each other? They don't have a languages prog...
I once got one of his books from the library. Dewey sounds very interesting but I didn't get through the whole book before i needed to return it. But ...
Heidegger started his career a dozen years before the Nazis took power. It was a good philosophy and his latter philosophy flowed from it, not from hi...
Husserl sounds awesome! It is as if we know experience, willing, and thinking first and then subsequently figure that it comes from the brain, but the...
Even my philosopher teacher in college had a lot of trouble reading Heidegger I think. His long sentences are well crafted but take some stamina to ge...
That does makes sense, I like that. Maybe *time* is the haze that *being enters* where it no longer knows what is at hand but simply knows the activit...
To my eyes Heidegger's ontic is dualistic (me and a hammer) but his ontology is not so, and is even onto-theological in a sense. If you have more on h...
I get what you are saying. However a point has no dimensions, so how can it have any relation to space except as a limit. An infinitesimal is what com...
I got a line from Heidegger: "We can this further clarify the temporality of taking care if we pay attention to the modes of circumspectly letting som...
Bartricks is saying we can know an agent is behind the world. But God is unknowable. Bartricks is saying we need to believe in God in a literal obnoxi...
If there is an agent behind the world, we are it. You don't seem to have read any phenomenology and understand it. If there is a higher being, than he...
I mentally divide objects though. I don't think if this is intuition or imagination, but flexing the segment infinitely than bringing it back like a s...
I see a point\infinitesimal as like a hole with a duplicate hole in it that 1) is the first one 2) but reverts back the the whole making the formation...
Well as I've mentioned to you before, I don't see how you can slice through a geometric object forever, creating infinite little pieces that keep divi...
Material things can't make meaning unless consciousness emerges first. A book means nothing whether made by a man or not unless consciousness is imman...
The understanding I presented of Heidegger on this thread was that the world is material but Time (or Spirit) encircles everything and the world and o...
What type of being does Man understand? The material world? I haven't seen where Heidegger explicitly denies this, although he focuses on hammering fo...
But any human willing can be torn asunder. The only thing that can't be torn asunder is matter which can't be created or destroyed. So care would be t...
Thinking higher thoughts (not focusing on chemicals for example) is good is it leads to character building. But nobody really knowns what "God" is so ...
So you are saying the cardinality vs density distinction applies in geometry? I think there are too many problems with abstract geometry in this regar...
First, if you divide something infinitely, infinite parts separate and fall about from each other. Second, Cantor said all geometric objects have the ...
If Heidegger believed that love was ontic and anxiety was ontological, than I think he has it backwards, although I don't think he says this. Intentio...
Well if matter is infinitely divisible than the parts divided go on forever. I don't know how the proof goes but Cantor proved that any size geometric...
Euclidean geometry assumes that planes are infinitely divisible so there is no end to how many points and lines can be on it. Oddly, Cantor showed tha...
The I've read it twice and the OP is not very clear and probably not very good as an argument. Also, why can't you control your emotions in discussion...
I reread the OP for a second time and he seems to be arguing that dreaming the world into existence is impossible because we can connect logical conne...
Where's the argument that matter is not mighty enough in its substance to provide perception once the matter rolls, meshes, and forms randomly into th...
Well we might not understand what matter is so we can't know whether we think with it or something else. The idea of soul you have in your consciousne...
I was pointing out that you need to put something in the place of matter as causing sensations and that your idea of God does not work in this regard....
Based on what Banno points out and what you've said elsewhere, you don't have an answer to the problem of pain because God can do all evil as well as ...
Nobody knows what the greater good is. Everyone has to guess. But governments are not going to listen to a poll on every issue that comes up. They are...
Power is not bad. Politics is founded on it. Why can't a state secede in the US? Because the power of the feds will prevent it for the greater good. A...
