What you extrapolate consists of an assumed naturalistic fallacy and has nothing to do with the naturalistic conception proposed. Ethics, I contend, w...

An existential bias which ignores the ontological horizon. Only a truism, Primperan, not philosophy. Think it through, dig deeper, further than "Calvi...

Reread the post of mine you've quoted. There's no mention of a "particular species". I wrote "natural species" with "our" in parenthesis to include h....

"The red pill" (choice) is an – perhaps the – illusion, and from this, we can infer reality (à la causality). I don't see the connection. To me the se...

:death: :flower: "Death" may be the poet's muse, but the "true" philosopher contemplates – reflectively engages with – the real. :fire: :up:

Well, i'm doing neother ... :roll: I didn't, so ... strawman ergo another evasive non sequitur.

"Much will be sacrificed" such as?

Exactly. If they weren't, they (we) wouldn't be here.

Again, your "point" has nothing to do with, or is based on missing the point of, The Riddle of Epicurus.

:clap: :sweat: Nothing to do with the "Riddle" but your sockpuppet's got a memorable name, Mr. Smith.

:cool:

My guess is that Therav?dins would not agree with your latter-day syncretism. Besides, what could be more natualistic (even pragmatic!) than the Noble...

I don't think so. Amor dei intellectualis is in what understanding (scientia inutiva) of substance (natura naturans) consists – wholly rational, imper...

For my two drachmas, gnosticism is platonism-as-theodicy. :fire: :eyes:

A novel use of a tool to perform a novel task is not, itself, "a gross misunderstanding". Mere ad hominem at best, a projection of your "gross misunde...

Yes I agree that Spinoza believed this. It's a mistake, however, to lump Spinoza in with Descartes & Leibniz, as is academic fashion, on the notion of...

So obvious you can't point it out. :roll:

That's answer enough. :shade:

Quote me, I've no idea what you're talking about. My first post was in reply to the dismissive smugness of the OP. I am trying to ascertain whether or...

:up: A bit too Oedipal (or p0m0) for my tastes ... but true often enough.

I took "the red pill" and with formerly blind eyes I clearly saw then "There Is No Red Pill". :fire:

Describe H O W Epicurus' Riddle is "weakened" by omnibenevolence.

Yeah, formal descriptions of percepts. But to what end? Apparently not Dennett's, so what's Zahavi's (or your) point, Janus? Dennett repurposes "pheno...

As I've already pointed out here , Epicurus' Riddle does not concern whether or not "God exists". No, that's not my reading. The Riddle is "based on w...

Your "irony" is lost on me, Astro. (What are you talking about?)

Regardless of what "God" thinks, "evil" to us is allowed and so it's not "God" – worthy of worship – to us.

How does a number interact with a thing? (It doesn't.) Rather ... minding : body :: digesting : gut. Radio.

I'm sure the questions of mine you have ignored would do just that – negate the OP.

And you were once allied with this "movement" but now you're not because the "movement" opposes "freedom of speech" when it is used at the expense of ...

I consider myself a life-long leftist libertarian (i.e. economic democrat) and I've never heard of this. Is this "movement" national (which country?) ...
