Luddy & Siggy are old friends of mine, kid, yet kinda belated – though Zapffe & Bataille really are my jam! Nonetheless, Epicurus & Buddha, for instan...
Tautologies lack information content. "The Cogito" looks like it's saying something but it is not. Thus, it refutes what you think it says; it doesn't...
I'll apply your "logic", BC ... What slackers. If Palestinians would only up their game and kill as many Israelis as Israelis have killed them – 1 for...
Sleep well, Jack. Maybe you'll make your question more intelligible in the morning. "Consciousness" is a scientific problem. IMO religion provides not...
Round earthers don't "hope" there isn't a flat earth. :roll: Wtf. :lol: Once again for the slow (or disingenuous & panicking) ones like 3017troll, Apo...
Insults. Just because you cannot understand – counter – me, lil troll, doesn't in anyway, of itself, imply that I've not "logically defended" my views...
As if that was all my first post stated or concluded. Take sentences out of context to make them inexplicable, or indefensible, to what end? Well, you...
"Nihilism" seems the expedient hobby-horse du jur in this discussion to date and so the inconvenient prospect of optimism as a philo-pathological culp...
Likewise, your idiocy is on full display with every one of your posts. Works both ways, troll. Third parties, of course, will have to judge for themse...
Apparently, the very fact of this question res ipsa loquitur. Both those of us waiting for an answer and those who've swallowed their forked tongues i...
No matter how vast the pile of fairytales, fact-free scriptures, testimonial anecdotes, and "scholarly" pursuits of the wrong, or pseudo, questions, I...
:up: (Also ... Abbagnano's non-totalizable "possibility" and Levinas' "infinition" contra "totality", while not strictly mathematical they are logical...
Right there I refer to My Understanding and do not make an ontological claim or commit to physical monism. No ontological "eliminating" on my part. "W...
Reread my preamble for context. Ethics, as I understand it, is fallibilistic (i.e. pragmatic(ist)) and performative, not justificationist and proposit...
Haack, then back into Peirce. Karl Popper. And Dewey if your still interested by then. I never had much use for James (though he's quite the writer li...
Magical thinking. 'Making shit up' is far easier than struggling to find out what is and is not the case. The brains of h. sapiens are adapted for sur...
And Dewey refers to certainties (e.g. permanence, essence) as instances of "the philosophical fallacy" in Nature and Experience. On the contrary, I'm ...
Well, like e.g. language, morals emerges in and belongs to the commons, that is, it's a social, public, process-artifact and not merely a matter of in...
And reverse psychology might inadvertantly "brand" philosophy as cool, even transgressive, which certainly won't deter (non-ADHD) thrill-seekers and o...
Except pramat(ic)ism is explicitly fallibilistic and not justificationist (e.g. Popper, Feyerabend, Haack). But okay, we disagree, so your objection s...
No. Not at all. By way of clarification, or correction, I refer in my previous post to 'truth-seeking' and 'inquiry' as distinct, even separate, from ...
Yes, of course; the Euthyphro suggests why, in effect, it is necessary to do so. More prosaically, though, if people had lived in larger-than-a-few-fa...
Okay. I understand pramat(ic)ism as saying something other than "equating utility with truth". Rather: truths are useful to seekers to the degree the ...
:up: (Ideally.) :clap: :fire: (A path I took deeper into the same primeval haunted forest ... re: Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Peirce/Dewey, Merleau-Ponty...
