Well you've set a field of strawmen ablaze ... so I leave you to it, firebug. There's nothing to be gained from us flat and round earthers, respective...
e.g. Social contract theory ... Well, it surely ain't right to reject a non-trivial argument without countering it with a non-trivial argument. Unless...
You've torched that strawman pretty good! :sweat: That's like asking how jurisprudence is "morally commensurate with our human history of" crimes. Any...
I'm not surprised. They've no idea what he's talking because @"Gnomon" apparently doesn't know what he's talking about either even while he'a trying t...
AB & C have "metaphysical presuppositions", so your "D" is redundant as far I can tell. I think (B) works best with metaphysics as the dependent-varia...
I more or less agree with you here (and disagree with @"Joshs"' position) if only because Western philosophy, by most accounts, began in the 6th c. BC...
I've never taken issue with the significant scientists he cites; I usually take issue only with @"Gnomon"'s poorly reasoned interpretations of the wor...
I don't know if you are wrong, but I disagree as I don't see "philosophy as a way of life" as a persecuted cauae (i e. political ideology or religious...
Monism is an ancient concept and I'll stick with that as more recent reformulations only complicate things unnecessarily. Also, I think it makes more ...
Silly me. I'm using 'information' in terms of contemporary information science and computer science (e.g. David Deutsch, Stephhen Wolfram) and the phy...
I don't see how "philosophy as a way of life" was a persecuted "cause". Besides, Socretes chose death rather than exile: assuming Plato's account is f...
Hey, you were evasively rhetorical and then, when I requested you cut to the chase, you made it "personal" with this response Feel free to clearly sta...
From my post the "ethical naturalism" link ... https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/695307 (Of course the devil's in the details, etc ......
I'm neither a theist nor idealist and yet I subscribe to "objective morality" (i.e. a form of ethical naturalism), so is that – am I – irrational or c...
DNA is not an "artefact" Information (i.e. pattern) is not conserved as a fundamental law in physics because information (i.e. pattern) consists in di...
To clarify, Fr. Sandström wasn't making a pronouncement of Catholic theology or Papal doctrine, just passing on his personal (existential) insight to ...
No. A stone sculpture is informational. It's not merely a stone. DNA self-replicates because it is informational. It's not just organic compounds. An ...
Information is physical e.g. DNA, circuit-switches, computer programs, heat, etc. Every physical transformation is information; translating (i.e. comp...
I provided a wiki link highlit over the words "conserved by physics?" Your google-fu is weak, padawan. :joke: Btw, I K.I.S.S. to avoid the fundamental...
:roll: Models + data = information (i.e. conjectures tested by deductions of experimental predictions); e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computati...
@"Agent Smith" Given that "essence" denotes that which non-impermanently makes something what is and not something else (to paraphase Plato/Aristotle(...
If the so-called "hard problem ..." is not a scientific problem for neuroscience, as you admit, then your point about a "blindspot" is merely a tenden...

So it's not that the neuroscientist has a "blindspot" as you stated here https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/771468 and actually that it...
Once upon a time, when I was a high school junior, a priest had told me "Reason is for living in this world and faith is living for the world-to-come"...
