I'm not clear on what you mean by "anti-theism", DJ, especially when you say it doesn't entail atheism. What are the grounds, or reasons, a "theist" w...
Neither polytheism nor pantheism, as I understand them, are anti-theistic; rather, they are thematic variations on theism. At most, they're anti-MONOt...
It's the difference between Type and Token, or set and member ... concept and referent ... epistemic "ANTI" and ontic "A". The latter belongs to the f...
"The world is the totality of facts, not of things." ~TLP 1.1 Facts are relations (distances). Events are relations (intervals). Facts are events (spa...

:death: :flower: After life. Well, there is no 'walking' after legs stop moving. And no 'symphony' after the orchestra stops playing and disbands. And...
You're mistaken. E.g. (JCI) monotheists are atheists with respect to "other gods" (e.g. Olympian Pantheon, Nordic Sagas, Hindu Vedas, Indigenous triba...
Speaking for myself as an anti-theist, I'm agnostic (and even ignostic) with respect to 'non-theistic concepts of divinity' because they're either ins...
Not addressed to me, I know, but ... Assuming, for discussion's sake, a non-supernaturalistic / non-theological (i.e. wholly secular) agency-centered,...
Perhaps nothing is the sufficient reason for (i.e. nothing prevents the coming-to-be, continuing-to-be or ceasing-to-be of) something ... :sparkle: :f...
Well ... if personal conduct (e.g. murder, torture/rape, betrayal) or systemic practices (e.g. peonage/slavery, capital punishment, tyranny/terrorism)...
Doesn't "evil" denote failure to obey, serve or worship some g/G? And, therefore, is a religious, not ethical, value? (Nietzsche) So that "natural evi...

HRC isn't the Dems' nominee this year. Besides, "pretty good odds" compared to other incumbents facing reelection (i.e. referendums on their first (& ...

See wiki re: (e.g.) pandeism, gnosticism, animism, acosmism, etc. :fire: It's not in most cases. Only when there is a truth-claim about g/G at issue (...
Only if g/G is undefined as I point out in previous posts. Theism (as I understand it's sine qua non attributions) defines g/G with claims (1) there i...
Agreed, but qualified (from an old post): I think this because 'theism' is defined - definite - insofar as it's a 'conception of divinity' that consis...
I've read all of Houellebecq's novels (and some essays) in English except The Map and the Territory which is on one of my shelves or stacked piles. He...
Which "people"? Certainly not weak/implicit/negative "atheists". Your argumentum ad populum & hasty generalization are fallacies, y'know. :roll: (Oh, ...
:roll: So you can't DEFINE "descriptor" in terms of how it DIFFERS from how "definition" is DEFINED (either commonly or technically) ... ok. No wonder...
