Lawrence Krauss actually does think science can speak about nothing. A lot of physicist do. As I said, I don't agree with them. My approach is from He...
As the name implies, it says all ENERGY in the cosmos is zero. So something can come from nothing says Hawking's in Hawking's Universe documentary. I ...
The zero-energy model says there is no energy in the world. I don't agree with it, but that is smart people saying nothingness CAN exist. https://www....
Ye, but the spiritual is not an object in any sense. God for theist even is an object. The world is real, but it is unreal in relation to and comparis...
Not a priori? Then what does this answer? It seems that in a crisis philosophers tend to believe the world is eternal and necessary. Just as we have t...
You're argument is that the world is necessary, and you get there because you don't understand nothingness. The world is contingent and things exist b...
A book has bookness. Therefore it is bookness. It exists though, instead of having existence in addition to something else. This is not a word game. E...
Christian, I apologize for not selecting your name or quoting you. I'm on my tablet now and a "quote" bar doesn't show up and the bottom for you name ...
If it is necessary nothingness, than no. I think absolute time and space is this nothingness Our souls are not substances. Only material things are. S...
I feel like everyone on this thread is assuming the world could be necessary. Meta-reality is spiritual and so is not a thing, or even an accident lik...
You've created an idol for yourself. Nothingness can never be an idol. It is both eminently comprehensible (we know what it means) and incomprehensibl...
This is just Einstein's philosophy. The source of the universe is and must be incomprehensible. Only nothingness therefore qualifies. There is no unfa...
Wouldn't the past then be the opposite of being? Which way does it go? Aren't we talking about source within a cyclic system? You don't know the first...
Potentiality is too like actuality to be its source. Sorry Plotinus. Buddha knew only being's opposite can be the source of being. Hegel and Schopenha...
Order, patterns, and chaos have mostly to do with consciousness, instead of with the cosmos. Cosmology is expressed by the saying "that which was not ...
Logic thinks of something. The secret is to think of everything arising from nothing. Such is impossible materially, but possible beyond extension. He...
"Reason is the certainty of being all reality. This it's inherent nature, this reality, is still, however, through and through a universal, the pure a...
As we have two cranial hemispheres, so we have a materialist and a mystical side. You are computerness as you read this, and you are humanness when yo...
Maybe giraffes should have short necks and once did. Reason is more of a stage than a faculty. Hegel wanted to see himself in objects and the objects ...
Good points on all sides. I say substance is being in a certain shape and so can only be about the world. Truth is a different question. To say Spirit...
This is convoluted. You deny the reality of irrational numbers, and thus don't believe in imaginary time as Hawking called it? "The spiritual" is noth...
"all truths are wholes and not irrational numbers" Who says? "Take a truth, any truth, and then ask yourself, what must first be true for it to be tru...
Maybe a little too Cartesian. Don't underestimate the "movement of philosophy" (Hegel). Here is a good start for ye guys: https://www.bing.com/videos/...
The Tractatus is consistent, although maybe not with the Investigations. That would be Wittgenstein changing his mind (maybe from the limits he had pu...
Whether objects just have existence, or also goodness and maybe truth in them, is a logical question. What is beauty? That which pleases? But that is ...
Hegel's whole philosophy was an expansion in Aquinas's themes that there is truth IN objects. That is.not an empirical question. Philosophy is not lan...
Suppose God says "i will give everyone a sickness, high chance you won't die. But if they want, they can keep the food". Why in heavens name would any...
Last December my best friend had what was likely corona. He said he felt like he was talking underwater, and the doctor said it sounded like he was! J...
We won't run out of hospital beds. Beds only for the very old and weak! Everyone else deal with it at home. It's like being drunk. You feel sick then ...
Reason is naturally intuitive. It learns logic. Whether logic is logical is debated. With the insane logic eats itself like a snake eating its tail. T...
