Mww! If only Schopenhauer and Kant could have a sit-down! An Existentialist and arguably a Phenomenologist have a summit meeting! This all reminds me ...
Gotcha, no worries. That seems to suggest some sort of physical complimentary existence, (or even the unity of opposites principle) ... , not sure wha...
TMF! You are referring to attributes of the object. We are parsing the existence of the physical object itself, the fetus. In either case, the distinc...
You guys made me think of something...would like an opinion. Concerning beauty and ugliness, If our perceptions of it, using objective reasoning uncov...
TMF! Not sure I'm following you there. Again, for the sake of 'logic', if time is required (logically necessary) for human existence, the personhood a...
Point well taken. That's yet another example of the false paradigm that theologians, philosophers, lay people tend to propagate. Meaning, the false na...
Correct...and that's my point. If logically it did figure into this thinking, it would (in principle) make abortion 'logically impossible' (loosely). ...
Agreed, they really can't because then no real novel discoveries would take place at all (?). Meaning in principle, you would just speak in terms of t...
No, because its logically necessary that our existence starts at conception. In other words, contingent, time dependent beings require a sense of time...
Not to interject into the wonderful discussion, but since physicists (cosmology) start with synthetic propositions, wouldn't those who reject them not...
Yep, facts is facts. Or they're at least borrowed inferences. Just take a look at the OT/Wisdom Books; the proof of pragmatism. Is it just coincidence...
Never said that. Like any account of history (book), it's fallible. To that end, I'm still waiting for you to substantiate your claim here: 1. Provide...
TMF! For the sake of argument, if it is true that human beings require time for their own existence, and to get to point B (birth), there logically mu...
Yes, and you can also, broadly speaking, treat like cases likely and different cases differently. And as such, that is really the one basic premise be...
That's kind of a fun question :wink: I think the logician would say its appearance is neither. And the dialectician would say its appearance is mottle...
In keeping with the existential psychology theme, while like LP, existentialism rests on phenomenology. However, the concept of being, becoming, and p...
God on the other hand, does not correlate to the "real" world, and is not reflected in human interaction. It is a concept that was invented to concent...
I have two questions related to your claim: 1. Provide substantiating evidence to support your claim that the Christian Bible is fictitious. 2. For th...
We (Sub and I) just started with some discourse. Yours and mine on the other hand (more of just a fishing expedition), only proved your bark had no bi...
Trolling instead of answering my questions, again? Jeeze dude, you're incriminating yourself. Please, don't take it the wrong way, but during our thou...
I'm not following that one Sub, how is the so-called historical account of Jesus a language game? No, not describe. If we describe, we will encounter ...

TMF! 'personhood' is indeed a non sequitur to those who want to justify abortion (I'm a moderate independent/am ok with certain exceptions/endangermen...
Sentience! My fellow existentialist Shop1 summed it up rather nicely. In the forgoing quote, the infamous example, as used in science/physics, is the ...
Fuck you, 3017. — tim wood “The temptation to belittle others is the trap of a budding intellect, because it gives you the illusion of power and super...
1. From the Christian Bible/history book, see John, Exodus, et.al. 2. Okay so how can you explain your consciousness (conscious existence)? 3. What's ...
I'm really at a loss. Jesus of Nazareth. Does that define it better? But that doesn't explain the nature of consciousness, does it? I mean, how does d...
I'm not following that, what's so controversial about the question?? Jesus=God, right? Or, maybe let's start from your so-called premise; what's a Sna...
I'm sorry is there a misunderstanding as to why you're unable to answer my question? Let me post it again below, and/or maybe take a day or two to thi...
Okay since you won't answer that you're an atheist, I'm assuming you are agnostic or something else correct? God=Jesus Just an observation, and don't ...
Think of it this way, you cannot use objective reasoning to explain your own consciousness (conscious existence), so how does that square with your co...

Are you sure? Complete chaos precludes contingent order. I thought the closest thing you get to chaos is random fluctuations in QM and indeterminacy i...
Agreed. People seem to forget Jesus' mission was much about Love and pacifism. And the OT/Wisdom Books about virtuous social behavior that were develo...

Keep in mind, Wayfarer, the Hellenistic & Neoplatonic period in ancient Greek history where Gnosticism had flourished, consciousness became synonymous...
