No argument needed. I refuted a statement with contrary evidence. QED.

I corrected your misstatement about Kant. I've provided you a wiki article summarizing the work which addresses your misunderstanding. Read or ignore ...

Edify yourself.

Read Kant's Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime.

:up: Already answered above. :smirk:

When I say "Kantian" I usually mean either 'brain-in-a-vat deontology' (narrowly) or 'epistemology-constrained ontology' (broadly). edit: Also, any de...

Okay. Nevermind.

Clear as mud. By "free" you mean what?

No. Depends on what you mean by "free".

Most "reconcile" them like this .

Yes, and that which is real (i.e. ineluctable, more-than-intersubjective) is independent of "faith". I think, in matters of ontology, it is 'essential...

Works for me – deus, sive natura naturans. Naturalism, or supernaturalism sans "super" (i.e. the imaginary :sparkle:)

Thanks.

Well, I only bring up Spinoza to ground some of the philosophy of mind on this topic. The point is, as far as contemporary cognitive neuroscience (see...

Oh man, you're "trying" way too hard ... :lol:

Because the burden of proof falls both on the positive claim and on the extraordinary claim which is contrary to ordinary experience and facticity. On...

Non sequitur. Apparently, you don't understand my last post or haven't read it.

The question for me is whether or not theism is true rather than 'whether or not this or that or any (under-defined) "god" exists.' I reason that thei...

We know enough – people die and they are no longer communicable-participants in our lives, or the commons. Thus, the affirmative claim that "the dead ...

Weak dodge.

So what scriptures say about "God" is fictional but "God" itself is not a fictional character (like "Abe Lincoln" in that old Star Trek episode "The S...

So your Bible / Qur'an is a "work of fiction"? Thus, it's protagonist "YHWH" / "Allah" is also fictional?

"Complete certainty" only pertains to formal systems and not to matter of facts or predictions therefrom. There is not any objective evidence that war...

As a state-of-affairs, "the afterlife" – life after life – belongs in the same spitoon of nonsense with e.g. "north of the North Pole", "disembodied p...

:death: :flower: A free man thinks of death least of all things, and his wisdom is a meditation not of death but of life.

Re: Freddy's "existential (or meta-psychological)" challenge ... which he suggests (later in TSZ) only 'Übermenchen' can/will endure:

So much for "Hume's Guillotine" ...

"A first cause" is merely an imaginary construct. One might conclude that reality – its physical laws – do not prohibit a system of logic (or computat...
