Relativism sounds consistent but mechanical. If it is true I am on this computer, it is also not, but is it true that we have both trues (or falsehood...
Instead of knowing the cause of what you want to believe in, what about direct experience of it's Dasein? I've never heard to anyone saying that the f...
Intuition has to have content though. And this content could be relative, with one truth, that all things are relative. Relative means it comes from w...
Perspective was considered by Descartes to be an illusion in a sense. Even seeing cuitness is an illusion for him. A thought of philosophy can be for ...
The law of the excluded middle doesn't apply to anything really, love be ing a great example (again Aristotle is wrong). I have favorites in the famil...
A lamp for Aristotle has two natures, the base and the shade. This is because they are easily separable and not glued together. Each by themselves can...
Aristotle said things have common natures, but we can imagine a world only consisting of two identical metal balls. Do they share a nature? The more y...
I wonder if science could make a man who has only two Y chromosome and.If this would be a superior type of superman. The finer distinctions are bound ...
What combinations of genes are viable is not verified by science. Evolution marches on, and nominalism has something to say about this debate. It's no...
There is nothing that stops an infinity of subdivision of space. There is also nothing in the human tool box to explain how infinite space can have a ...
To go from San Francisco to Bakersfield, you have to go half of the space, otherwise your there. And half that, otherwise your there. There is a diffe...
When calculus brings the infinity into the finite, we can say maybe that the One of Parmenides is the infinite. Or we know nothing about what makes th...
An infinity is simply the highest thing possible. I know I am using a philosophical argument here, but there can't something higher than the higher. C...
It doesn't matter how your imagination sees the set. This is straight arithmetic, not geometry. There cannot be pattern in infinity if you go from 1 t...
My thoughts are mechanical, but without motion. I think you are in contradiction in thinking motion and mechanical thinking can go together Whitehead ...
We are strictly talking about static sets and numbers in what you are referring too. The power of the ultimate set is a mathematical force, not mechan...
I would love to know how Frege answered Russell in the extra part added to his book right before it was published. Russell's theory of types just says...
You start with THE highest set. There has to be one overarching all the others. I think of them as these: But imagination is not needed for this since...
Last night and tonight I went over the first propositions of Euclid. I get stuck on proposition 7. He loses me because he makes a lot of assumptions w...
Why not outlaw selfreference then, which is a set container itself anyway. It's almost too easy to throw out Godel then. I don't follow Godel to begin...
Einstein's position was self refuting. If things are all determined you can't even do science because the law might be that the after an age a new age...
If I roll a dice a zillion times, each roll is one and six that I will come up with a 6. So the same applies the zillion (one to one correspondence). ...
Spinoza and Leibniz thought everything was controlled by one principle. Infinity in substance, which far outstrips when you count to infinity and call...
Chaos behavior is about "patterns" in randomness. How could "some outcomes are more likely even in a completely random system".? I think we sense patt...
Does not compatibilism completely explain the Quantum Eraser experiment and Bell's theorem away? If there is no random factor with regard to the subje...
But how do we know the pattern is not controlling us? We think that we discover patterns, like Descartes thought he discovered innate ideas. It could ...
I don't think we can get ahead of the ball with the universe since its always ahead of us! What does the universe rest on, if it's matter. Does a forc...
If we were to get ahead of the random and understand it almost like understanding a person, our actions would still be in control all along by this un...
As Heraclitus said, everything may be in flux. I don't see how the human mind can grasp through math the many infinities in which the random can take ...
If any law can suddenly ooze out into reality at any time, then to our subjectivity the world is random. The many dimensions theory gives even more vi...
If "the other" is predictable for phenomenologists, than there is no random. I thought Derrida thought writing and thinking too random and subjective ...
If the Christian says "why not drink hemlock since you agree with Hume that any law from anywhere in the universe or other dimensions might intervene ...
That pattern recognizes works in science can be explained by compatabilism. The free will (the random factor in Bell's theorem and the Quantum eraser ...
I think Derrida was saying we can never predict the random because true randomness is more random and free than we can imagine. Our concepts of the ra...
Will and Representation says the world is will, but it says it could be an evil will. Schopenhauer thought our desires can be thwarted in life. Aquina...
Thomistic guys would say you can't have pure potentiality coming into actuality without a law that was actual guiding it. Hence their response to Plot...
If an object is actual and material, it is infinitely divisible. The smallest unit of matter either has parts or it is nothing. If it has parts its di...
Maybe evil makes us weak. That doesn't make evil weak, or it's effects. I'm just saying, who knows? I am not espousing evil, just the Christian viewpo...
By granular, you mean discrete? The discrete is like a unicorn. It doesn't exist. Does it have size or not? Is it something or nothing? Those question...
Objects are infinitely divisible, so they have infinite parts. Hence Zenos paradox. Belief in God is about desire, not knowledge. People want more. Th...
Viruses kill people, so maybe evil can kill God. But he is all knowing? Who says he even exists. Do you hear yourself? There is a meta-dude out there ...
