I'm not sure what you mean by "objectively existent" or "objectivity". Please clarify what makes this "criterion" problematic. Also, do you reject wha...
:roll: Any "manifestation of" that which "is not objectively real" is, of course, "conceivable". But are we just fantasizing, Wayf, or are we philosop...
@"Wayfarer" Unless solipsism obtains, mind is dependent on (ergo, inseparable from) More/Other-than-mind, no? and that "experience" consists of phenom...
:roll: Strawman – unless you can cite where I have actually done so. :rofl: In other words, the alleged (incoherent) "god's-eye view from nowhere" – w...

Given your stated assumptions, it seems to me you're tautologically asking 'What does it feels like to be feeling?' (Or existentially, but in thermody...
And the truth-makers for these statements are? :roll: :sweat: e.g. An assembled pile of logs, Bob, is not equivalent to a painting of "a log cabin". T...
Bitbol's "counter" is lost on me. Why don't you instead – in your own words, Joshs – counter my counter to @"Wayfarer"'s counter of my counter to his ...

To jar your memory, an excerpt from a reply to you, Gnomon, on an old thread "What is Metaphysics? Yet again" ... Simply put, an immanentist rejects '...
It seems to me folks are still making fetishes of their fallaciously reified hasty generalizations (à la Feuerbach et al). 'Homo religiosi', no? Man t...
:up: Incorrect. By the world I'm referring to 'the totality of facts' (re: TLP, 1.1-1.21). Then why not instead title the thread "The transcendental m...
Philosophical statements are not propositions about the world. Again, metaphysics is not theoretical. You unwarrantedly assume that such an inquiry at...
Has any thinker ever demonstrated that the whole of reality-nature-universe has a boundary in space and/or time (to provide grounds for assuming there...
To "define ... that which is beyond" seems patent nonsense to me. Also, "the possibility of experience" amounts to an anthropic / subjectivity-bias (c...
Yes, in praxis, no doubt, other positive goals can be useful; I think what I've presented on this thread hints at a prolegomena to a future minima mor...
Well written and clear OP, but I'm not persuaded by the case you're trying to make, sir. To my mind: (1) In order for Mind to "create the world", Mind...
As a philosophical naturalist I'm unaware of any "style of naturalism" wherein "first-person perspective" is reducible to ... just as e.g. living orga...

No, definitely not. By analogy, for instance, the rules – generalizations abstracted from design (logical) space – for valid moves in chess (e.g. meta...
It must be kept in mind that Austin is not doing metaphysics even when he's analyzing the linguistics of purported 'metaphysical statements'. He's lik...
And I'm saying your statement is nonsense because science is not used to address "the big questions" so it can't be even "no improvement" on them. Tha...
Of course science only solves empirical problems and does not answer philosophical questions. Philosophy, as Wittgenstein points out, only describes h...
