One is forced to conclude you do not know what the LEM is, how it works, or what it is for. It's 'for' a priori formal logic. And what is your conscio...
But I 'was' driving the car, otherwise, I wouldn't have crashed and killed myself. So in a proposition, I was both driving and not driving holds true....
The proposition that I was driving and not driving at the same time is true because it has more than two truth values; you were kind-of driving. As a ...
Not true. I use the infamous example of driving a car while daydreaming, crashing and killing yourself. Was it true you were driving yet not driving? ...
No. This is why human's accept or reject each other's aesthetics within seconds while being observed. It's more Freudian than not. As you said earlier...
Yes, because without it, in your case of Thomism, no judgement is apperceived. Correct. And that is the part you keep denying. Love is certainly more ...
There is nothing wrong with having logically impossible attributes. After all, consciousness itself operates that way. However, if one were to use som...
No. That's formalism/ logico deductive reasoning not inductive reasoning. With respect to the former, and with respect to the OP, any thoughts on your...
Yes there's a lot of emotional baggage for sure. As a Christian Existentialist myself, I get the whole nihilist deal. But it's just yet another parado...
It has something to do with the past. Usually, it relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and...
See what I mean? Many atheist put a lot of emotional energy into their belief system, drop f-bombs frequently, etc.. Emotions are good, but unfortunat...
It seems to me in my experience, more often than not, atheists are angry. Even Einstein recognized the phenomenon. He coined the term "fanatical athei...
In Christianity: Jesus. In logic and ontology: logical necessity. In phenomenology: the religious experience. With respect to the OP, we can start wit...
I agree. It fits nicely into the unity of opposites principle. Furthermore, anytime an atheist makes a positive statement of no God, they unwittingly ...
Ironically enough, times two: And any answer to that is going to be definitional and problematic because bespoke, and thus not one-size-fits-all. — ti...
I would exercise caution against use of the false dichotomy. Dialectically, it's both/and. In this case, a synthesis between the two. Not too dissimil...
They (intellect/wonder) are kind of like mathematics. They exist. It's another form of reality. Indeed. Just like the explanation of consciousness its...
Yep, in layman's terms, it's called everyone's sense of wonderment. It comes from self-awareness. And where does reason come from? Does that mean inte...
Causation exists as a metaphysical reality from your stream of consciousness. Otherwise you would have to explain why/how you wonder about causation t...
It is simpler (not an intellectual concept that you keep arguing) than what you make it out to be; don't conceptualize it. You're trying to make metap...
BTW, ironically enough, a co-worker just showed me his newborn litter of pigs. we both felt happy seeing the little piglets next to their mom, and how...
If I understand that correctly (which I may not be), the one problem with that would be causation. If causation didn't exist, then the argument for a ...
Yes, that would be correct. No. The logic behind time-dependent Beings make personhood irrelevant because to get to point B (birth), you must have a p...
Thanks I'll check it out when I get time, no pun intended. In the mean-time :smile: , my gut tells me that it's worthy of a completely different threa...
In our context, the act of creating another human being (human's procreating) in our world of temporal time, we in effect become time-dependent beings...
TMF happy Saturday! You and I both can appreciate the concepts of eternity, timelessness, mathematics, Platonic ideals, abstracts, etc.. Unfortunately...
Your example seemingly wants to speak to dualism. And your latter question speaks to metaphysics, the nature of time itself. Succinctly, I would say y...
