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 ...
September 04, 2020 at 15:29
Gotcha, no worries. That seems to suggest some sort of physical complimentary existence, (or even the unity of opposites principle) ... , not sure wha...
September 04, 2020 at 15:05
What would that mean then?
September 04, 2020 at 14:35
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...
September 04, 2020 at 14:28
You guys made me think of something...would like an opinion. Concerning beauty and ugliness, If our perceptions of it, using objective reasoning uncov...
September 04, 2020 at 14:14
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...
September 04, 2020 at 13:45
Point well taken Wayfarer.
September 04, 2020 at 01:07
Point well taken. That's yet another example of the false paradigm that theologians, philosophers, lay people tend to propagate. Meaning, the false na...
September 03, 2020 at 22:50
Confirmation that others perceive the lack of depth there...well said Gus. :up:
September 03, 2020 at 22:21
Correct...and that's my point. If logically it did figure into this thinking, it would (in principle) make abortion 'logically impossible' (loosely). ...
September 03, 2020 at 19:00
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...
September 03, 2020 at 18:53
No, because its logically necessary that our existence starts at conception. In other words, contingent, time dependent beings require a sense of time...
September 03, 2020 at 18:04
Not to interject into the wonderful discussion, but since physicists (cosmology) start with synthetic propositions, wouldn't those who reject them not...
September 03, 2020 at 16:57
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...
September 03, 2020 at 16:51
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...
September 03, 2020 at 16:43
Some say that's a sign of a budding (wet behind the ears) intellect.
September 03, 2020 at 16:38
1. It's a history book 2. What is your definition of 'inspired'? 3. Paul was just a man/preacher
September 03, 2020 at 16:29
How is History, and pre-History verified and provable?
September 03, 2020 at 14:53
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...
September 03, 2020 at 14:39
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...
September 03, 2020 at 14:35
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...
September 03, 2020 at 00:33
In keeping with the existential psychology theme, while like LP, existentialism rests on phenomenology. However, the concept of being, becoming, and p...
September 02, 2020 at 22:26
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...
September 02, 2020 at 21:42
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...
September 02, 2020 at 21:33
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 ...

Sentience! My fellow existentialist Shop1 summed it up rather nicely. In the forgoing quote, the infamous example, as used in science/physics, is the ...

September 02, 2020 at 14:35
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 ...
September 02, 2020 at 13:07
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...
September 02, 2020 at 00:19
What's a snark,?
September 02, 2020 at 00:01
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...

God=Jesus If you're scared say you're scared!!
September 01, 2020 at 22:46
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 ...
September 01, 2020 at 21:48
I don't understand. As an atheist, are you acquiescing to a God then?
September 01, 2020 at 21:07
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...
September 01, 2020 at 16:00
Indeed, simple enough! :up: BTW, MU, are you a mathematical realist or anti-realist?
September 01, 2020 at 15:41
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...
