Sorry for the redundancy, but did you get a chance to mull these over yet: I could be wrong, but that structure doesn't quite seem right. Isn't it sup...
Like Frank said, this isn't philosophy 101. Do your homework. Thus far, your argument is not sound, nor does it logically follow from any of your prem...
I could be wrong, but that structure doesn't quite seem right. Isn't it supposed to be: 1.All A are B, 2.All C are A, 3.Therefore, all C are B, ? Also...
That's not what we're talking about here, sorry. Your interpretation is way off the mark. Noumena is posited by Kant as an object or event that exists...
jorndoe! Should I take your silence, as acquiescence, that you don't have answers to my (existential, metaphysical, and phenomenological) questions? L...
. Are you suggesting that atheism is about nothing? How can it be about nothing when there is something? 2. What does open-ended anything mean? Anothe...
Subscribed! 180, Tim, jorndoe and others have yet to make their case. I'm not really sure why. When I ask them questions that, say, relate to existent...
Great! Could you answer at least one of these existential questions? 1. Are you suggesting that atheism is about nothing? How can it be about nothing ...
Gee that's sort of a paradox isn't it? Why are you participating in this thread if it's not interesting? Are you hiding behind ad hominem attacks inst...
This is a discussion about the concept of God. The concept of God impacts over 75% of philosophical domain's primarily because it's about something an...
That's an interesting comment. 1. Are you suggesting that atheism is about nothing? How can it be about nothing when there is something? 2. What does ...
Indeed. No exceptions taken. I don't see it problematic at all. It's relative to the Metaphysical features of consciousness, which are different from ...
Should I take your response as an acquiescence by silence? Atheism doesn't appear to be able to answer the many many questions about existence. Perhap...
It means that only you know you. But that's a little confusing because you said you really don't understand the thing-in-itself. And that thing-in-its...
Both, no? Don't overthink it. The question is, do you hold your sense of understanding and truth to be more important than someone else's? And your an...
The nature of your understanding, your existence, the thing-in-itself. And so, it appears that you are not clear on how to articulate your own sense o...
Subjective truth: a truth that, primarily, matters to the individual. Does that help? So back to your statement. Does your statement "The difference l...
Interesting, so it seems as thought you don't really understand how you come to perceive understanding itself. Or said in another way, how experiences...
Nice. Is having such an experience some sort of subjective understanding ? And what do you mean by abstraction, is that like metaphysical phenomena? O...
To stay on theme, are you suggesting that the kids have their own truth and own needs? Also, what does having " value" have any thing to do with our e...
Great. Let's look at how you yourself obtain your own understanding then. How does your experiences effect your understanding about something? I'm not...
Great. We are making progress, I think. So, by your 'application and process' does that translate into experience? And would that suggest someone who ...
Not really, but let's use your logic here. If the inspector's understanding is more important than yours and mine, how do you get to have better under...
Okay let's try again. You said: Yes, and the uses to which I put that understanding. — tim wood " Great. And so are you suggesting that your understan...
Okay, then let's break it down and start over to see how you use logic here in this context.. What do you mean when you say: "The difference lies in w...
You are basically saying the difference between your lack of ability to use reason in explaining your own existence only matters to you yourself. And ...
Indeed. I think it was in cognitive science's William James who said, in his book about The Varieties of Religious Experiences: "Philosophy lives in w...
To say it correctly, my faith, in this context, is in the free market and free enterprise. As Friedman stated, businesses should act responsibly with ...
Agreed. The tale-tale is indeed, when they get angry and resort to ad hominem. That's a sure sign of frustration about their lack of justification(S)....
I think the 'category' of a priori logic associated with computer's is worth a shout-out, (that you mentioned in your thesis) . As a sort of a cosmic ...
Science says that birds, have limited ability to count, but an innate ability nonetheless. Accordingly, a quick study of Kant would infer that the abi...
...interesting views that everyone has contributed thus far, I must say... . I did think that the aforementioned quote from Judaka was worth noting to...
Mmmm, let's see, I did a cursory read and I'm not too impressed with just a few of them: Dennett: a discruntled atheist who wrote a political atheist ...
Don't take this the wrong way, but it seems that you may not know what you're talking about. One argument is they should stay in their wheelhouse and ...
Indeed. It was me who used the word selfish, but it's kind of appropriate. Selfishness is kind of like pride. There is a good kind of pride (proud of ...
Suicide is totally self-centred just as the phrase I quote above indicates. And necessarily, a self-centred view cannot reach a use, a purpose, a mean...
What's that? And how does that help your cause in defending 'no God'? The truth is, it actually weakens your case because of your inability to describ...
It's indeed a dumb idea. It may be the pot calling the kettle black. You seem to be reading something else into his thesis by missing the point ( as u...
No he can't be rehabilitated because the irony is, his argument is a priori and unchanging. But of course we're not talking about a priori logic are w...
Thanks. He already has, I believe. At least St. Augustine is consistent with the current scientific theory of cosmological time, believe it or not. Af...
