The cogito can be doubted. Doubt of it and science is part of the philosophical endevour False. The relativism of material laws is fundamental to doin...

But philosophy also threatens the foundations of physics. The series Closer to Truth poised the question "what if the laws of physics change" to physi...

To always search for certain knowledge wherever it leads: that's the alternative of the world's spiritual advice. If we have no certain knowledge of w...

I'm rereading Hegels philosophy of mind. I want also to read his philosophy of nature and his logics. He definitely thought philosophy superior to phy...

Realizing that matter could have infinite aspects (and forces) is an agnosticism that I think leads to a spiritual way of thinking

Who says it is reliable? They throw us a theory which, they say, is 70 percent chanced to be accurate. Then they throw that one out for one with 80 pe...

The scientific method is a hoax. They can't define when a law is stable. Something changes and they presume a new force, which is arbitrary because it...

When Galileo drops his objects three times, is the law that "when this physical body named Galileo drops these objects three times, they fall at the s...

If we can't get around matter with free will (saying "I did it randomly and it came up always with the same result", maybe the objects fell at the sam...

Let me try to explain further. I've simply combined a little Hume with idea that matter could be in complete control of us all the while we bring free...

Panpsychism from a materialist perspective is absurd, unless you consider an amputated thumb to be as human as the rest of the body. I've been re-read...

I was thinking something similar. It seems we have more evidence of evolution than we do evidence that Christians truly understand what the Bible mean...

Nobody can prove nothingness has no importance

What main endeavor was that? Did Husserl ever prove anything people considered now as settled?

Meditation is there for the mind to produce nothingness inside and to see nothingness as pure

I don't see a difference between the 3 laws and it does seem violated to me by the paradox, which makes falsehood and truth identical

Heidegger calls dasein being-wth-care. So the care of Being and our care add more being to an already existing world?

Thanks for the responses.

I think that the universe truly has an objective "look", If only we had the right eyes to see it Hegel thought we create the world thru syllogisms of ...

As far as I can see, Einstein sees me as 5" 2 in height relative to my perspective. With different speeds people could truly say I was a different siz...

Hegel's move was to find the noumena in the world. He thought the origin of the universe was a collision between nothing and being, this the world is ...

For Einstein there is no overarching space or time for the relative to fit in. I said in the OP Kantian disagree

For Einstein something does not have a definite position and size

Donald Hoffman and many others show how different reality is from our perception. It is philosophy which says reality bounced back to us and is exactl...

Einstein didnt say truth was relative, but that the world was. The question of how to deal with the new situation in modern thought is phenomenology. ...

Your idol is Wittgenstein obviously, who by the way was a rude man who would run out the room like a little bitch because he didn't have the patience ...

Outside the world cannot be pictured but neither can Wittgenstein's arguments. So his views are circular

I don't care to read more of Wittgenstein for now. He said philosophy is word games and claims language proves it. A ridiculous position to hold. Are ...

It's impossible to explain the world without getting into philosophy

Basing it on all that's been said so far about Wittgenstein's sleight of hand. Follow the conversation

Questions about the origin of the universe are not meaningless

Wittgenstein 's syllogism 1) we initially use language to describe the world 2) we still use the same language tools 3) so we can only speak of the wo...

You just hate philosophy and a search for intellectual wisdom

Russell was a Hegelian in his youth, but chose to be a doubtful atomist latter

What exactly? Who's now playing a word game?

Language is there to express ideas. That's what it does. To many the idea of absolute nothing producing something without there being some action is c...

Wittgenstein says my questions are meaningless, as you have. They make sense to me, maybe for psychological reasons but not because of semantical mist...

I think potentiality both exists and doesnt, so something comes from nothing and something at the same time. But yes Banno, I agree there is no causal...

The following problems I find meaningful and interesting 1) can something be partially true and partially false? How? 2) can something be both real an...

Wittgenstein insists on nominalism because of his horror over Hegel on one side and Catholic scholasticism on the other. Descartes had already pointed...

Hume tried to make metaphysics NOT make sense, instead of working around doubts and reduction. That's like Wittgenstein. I don't see what lock has to ...

Necessity applies to the phrase "all bachelors are unmarried." It is contingent whether a horse is black or not. Russell said he couldn't fathom how t...

A Kantian fact is phenomena acting almost always in accord with what seems reasonable and orderly. With Humean facts, anything is possible at any time

And what is this logic of language that makes metaphysics meaingless? I havent seen any particular examples. What's a truth that the philosophy of lan...

Potentiality moves by spontaneity. Like with particles moving in sinc with no causation. There might be a compatabilism explanation for a physical law...

If you say questions such as the "difference between contingency and necessity" are meaningless, you have still formed a concept. It's not pure medita...

As an aside, studying language really has nothing to do with the philosophy in the language, unless you say W was just doing what John Stuart Mill tri...

So Wittgenstein said 1) that the world can be experienced more than the self. However, he also said 2) the sense of the world is outside the world. So...

Some people desire to know and understand life. That is their peak moments. Although people turn to religions because of the fundamental mechanics of ...

A world religion book I have said the African religions are like that. Very Heidegarrian. I like the world of ideas though also. There is a box in my ...
