180 Proof

I've read Hegel's works, especially those I've referenced. Clearly you have not and so I have previously offered a few wiki & SEP summaries to counter...

You mean like e.g. "the Absolute" (re: Introduction, Phenomenology of Mind) or "Thought", "Being", "Nothingness", "Becoming", "Essence", etc (re: Scie...

And the alternative 'morally qualifying world' is? :roll:

Thus, they are indistinguishable from fictions.

:clap: :party: :lol:

What do you mean by "qualitative aspects"? :roll:

:100: :fire:

Fuck "convincing" – exposing you is all I'm after.

:roll: Arbitrary (anthropic) criterion – "the universal" – that's just "flapping ass-cheeks" to me. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/...

"The true essence of abortion" (historically in the US +98% occur before foetal viability) is elective lumpectomy. Not "murder". Roasting an acorn is ...

A picture of a hanging is not a hanging.

I do not "deny" incoherent notions, I only question why you persist in woo-of-the-gaps nonsense (e.g. cartesian / kantian dualism, pan-woo-woo-ism, et...

It's clear now that I don't know what you're whinging about, man, because you don't know what you're whinging about either.

Nice try. "Inner aspects" is all you, schop1.

:clap: :nerd:

Well, as formulated, your question is unanswerable. :up:

Yeah, and one way to do better species-wide is to stop having unwanted offspring by all methods which are safe and healthy for sexually active or preg...

Better the rest of their adult lives than the entirety of their children's lives.

Wrong question. Nature is the given, "supernatural" is the extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence. If we are 'conscious', it's a giv...

I do. The fewer unwanted offspring / less-than-enthusiastic mothers, the better. :up:

I observe other people's behaviors which are mostly consistent with the predictions derived from early childhood developed 'theory of mind'. In other ...

@"schopenhauer1" is trying to convince everyone they should refuse to go on breathing or to breed any more little mouth-breathers because there's "too...

You seem to make the case for me, javra. Any "X" which completely lacks (directly / indirectly) observable properties is indistinguishable from "X" wh...

But (an/the) antithesis of a thesis X is its complement – whatever completes X (e.g. Y) – not merely Xs "negation" (~X or absence of X), right? Or am ...

What Hegel means by dialectic is that every idea also contains (the dynamic basis of) its own complement (like e.g. yinyang).

And what would those "grounds" be?

"Justified"? Who said anything about "justifying" anything? No I. Care to show how your question is not a non sequitur?

Yeah, well, it's never too late for "some people" to abruptly end their "encounter". :smirk: "Moral" (or not) belongs to existents, not "existence". A...

Notice: I refer to impossible, not "implausible"; also, I do not trivialize imaginary, except where what is imagined (e.g. "the supernatural") is also...

Interesting. Clarification appreciated. But wasn't Das Tausendjährige Reich also an "utopian" project? :brow:

I did not introduce the notion of "inner aspects" – whether or not entities have "inner aspects" – you did, schop1, and thereby the "oddly presupposed...

No speculation needed. :point: (Read links summarizing the science.)

Animals have mirror neurons ... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuron

You'll have to ask someone who makes the mistake of placing them "in separate categories". Like "vapor" & "ice", they are different properties of wate...

As pointed out I don't understand the question. As a pseudo-problem it fails as a "critique". What do you understand "material" means in "materialism"...
