What about that @"Snakes Alive"? This wins the prize for the stupidist, most unphilosophical, thing a primate has grunted so far today. Good job, Snak...
I don't recall a "question" of the ontology of quantum mechanics in Plato's Dialogues. Or "questions" of mind-body interaction, or demarcating science...
Well read in the "tradition", I find this 'essentialist' position, at best, unwarranted (pace Whitehead). Reeks of p0m0 over-simplification and poseur...
So picking-up from where we left off ... :eyes: Obviously, since "gods" is undefined, this statement is nonsense. Only because your use of "gods" is u...
To the extent that "good" refers to an optimal state of mind (or well-being), I think a "good philosophy" consists in reflective exercises for alignin...
"God" undefined - sans definite predicates (i.e. what type of g/G? or what differentiates g/G from non-g/G?) - renders these statements incoherent (i....
:up: Yeah, I agree, but as an implication of believing that theism is not true, the truth-value of which being demonstrable, whereas the truth-value o...
"Anyone who denies the law of non-contradiction should be beaten and burned until he admits that to be beaten is not the same as not to be beaten, and...
Forcing the point on me, I revise (or, better, yet qualify) my contention that 'atheism is not a belief' by reformulating it so: atheism is a negating...
Let's start with my two main posts from the old "The ethical standing of future people" thread: One. My use of the non-identity idea (Parfit, not Ador...
This distinction concerns epistemic warrant, that is, whether warrant is possible (re: cognitive) or doesn't obtain at all (re: non-cognitive). Instea...
Agreed. Furthermore, however, whether or not I/we "believe" ... (A) To the degree the sine qua non claims of theism (i.e. a mystery (1) that created e...
If I only confuse things further, please explain ... My position - anti-theism - consists only in the positive statement that 'theism is not true' (wh...
Unless, of course, one claims 'no theism' because its claims are false or nonsense - instead of 'no g/G' because g/G does not exist - in which case on...
Likewise, people who proclaims themselves 'agnostic' ... are, in effect, atheists in practice. Just sayin'. :smirk: So, Frankie, what do you call it w...
Is g/G a possible object of knowledge (as distinct from mere fiction)? What makes it so? Because if it is not, then 'agnosticism with respect to g/G' ...
No. Atheism isn't a "belief" any more than Off is a television channel. We don't watch "nothing" when the tv is off, we're just not watching tv. Like ...
I've speculated along these lines in an old post, though emphasizing (epochal?) experiences - shocks - which I think have made philosophizing possible...
She can only hurt Bernie by endorsing Biden and not help much, or at all, by endorsing Bernie. I won't be surprised if she waits till the nomination t...
I won't go down that rabbit-hole, but I agree that it's not relevant - certainly less so than my suggestions. Anyway, as a 'complementary opposition' ...
I don't even agree with myself much of the time, especially my own "whole philosophical view" ... but positions you & I often take, Pfhorrest, do line...
My intent is to establish whether or not you claim or agree that you are GODLESS - as I'd parenthetically spoon-fed (and then quoted by) you: IN OTHER...
No. You didn't answer my Yes or No question with a "yes or no" or give its reason (option (h) is left undefined for you to defined a reason for your a...
