I don't mean to take the wind out of your sails and respect your trying to rigorously think this through. However you may be overthinking it. Using th...

Hello fellow philosopher! Your concern, to me, has a real simple answer. Most sciences require inductive reasoning to discover things. Intrinsic to th...
September 08, 2019 at 14:06
Well thank you kindly for your response! I like your notion of faith and reason. Through logical inference or inductive reasoning we can uncover and d...

That's a great question! I'm thinking that if it was part of Darwinism, perhaps it would evolve into something different... like a whole different set...

Fellow Philosophers, One interesting human dynamic has reared its ugly head already. But it's not necessarily 'ugly' though. Just a very slight detour...

Don't give up on the discussion now we were getting close. Please note, you were not able to answer any of those questions or concerns. So until I hea...

Oh nice... . In a similar matter (no pun intended), there have been a few recent threads on this topic and wanted to get your thoughts on it too. Can ...

Hey TS! Sorry I just saw your reply / contribution and I thank you for that! Are you referring to more of an epistemic or ontological aspect of observ...

Wow. Ok teaching moment. Formal Logic is basically mathematics (it is universally true no matter what anyone says). A proposition is considered to hav...

Then Love would be illogical in your definition. Because for that statement to be formally logical it would have to be 100% objective. Formal Logic do...

September 05, 2019 at 15:19
Excellent point, could not agree more with your analysis there! I'll take a stab at your OP though, a metaphysical proposition: The concept of God is ...

Here's a thought provoking phenom of sorts. It relates to the math/music interval known as the devil's interval. Which, is a third up, but of course a...

Yes I know thank you for that. The gradation of truth relative to the existence of things viz. logic and reasoning I think, presents important paralle...
September 05, 2019 at 12:53
Sure! I hope it's lucid enough for me to contribute.
September 05, 2019 at 01:21
I think we would agree that we wouldn't know the nature of its existence in any case, whether it's spinning or not. However we would get closer to its...

Gotcha, ok part of that is pretty straightforward and it begs a couple quick follow-up questions: What if the spinning ball appeared grey, are you cer...
