what you take out of q you have to take out of q throughout, obviously. So if you take the word 'necessary' out of the firstime premise it has to come...
Yet I recognise that your argument was invalid and you don't. You know, the one that went if P, then Q; not R, therefore not P. Hmm. What does that te...
It isn't valid as it stands, as you'd know if you knew anything about how to argue. My answer to your question: depends. For instance, this argument i...
But can something that lacks any physical features have a gender? or do you have to have a physical body to have a gender? That is, can a mind alone h...
Hmm, I think bringing God into it muddies the waters. What I'm sympathetic to is Descartes' idea that being omnipotent involves being able to do anyth...
No, second premise is gibberish. But well done for trying. Should say "If Bartricks says P is self-evident, P is not necessarily self-evident", not "I...
Poetry now?!? Okay, here's one: "If p, then q. Oh what to do? The argument doesn't lead where I want it to. No matter. No worry. I know what to do: I'...
I am interested in what it would take for someone to be genderless. Can, for instance, someone who is immaterial have a gender? That is, can there be ...
You think it is idiotic to think this argument is valid: 1. If turnip is wife, then if wife at market necessarily turnip at market 2. If wife at marke...
To move things on, and because nobody here seems to think there's even a problem called the Euthyphro, I will make another objection to my own view, o...
Er, no. What I need is what I've got. If moral values are my values, then if I value something necessarily it is morally valuable. If turnip is wife, ...
What have I said that is nonsense? Where have you argued anything at all? All you do is assert and think that's good enough. All filler, no killer. Wh...
To help underscore how important the word 'necessary' is in the argument and how utterly indispensable it is, could you explain to me why you want it ...
that is your view. Say it and it will be so. Your view. A view well represented hete. You don't seem to have any arguments for anything. Yet you're no...
To avoid this derailing, here is the objection this thread is about: 1. If moral values are the values of a subject, then moral values are contingent ...
I don't think you're in a position to judge what is and is not interesting from a philosophical perspective. Clue: it isn't constitutively determined ...
The less they know, the less they know it. No, not "certainly a minority', but "the majority". You really don't know what you're talking about, yet yo...
That's because you don't hang out with people competent in these matters. They don't tend to mill about in the park. Anyway, if you prefer to talk abo...
Er, yes, I said that. Me. My argument is that for something to be morally valuable is for it to be the object of a valuing relation. That's my view. B...
Erm, this thread is about that problem. So, I'm addressing it here! That problem - or supposed problem - is the Euthyphro. A problem that is addressed...
You wouldn't know coherence if it built a house in your bottom. My view is coherent. To show it to be incoherent you'd need to show it to contain a co...
You really think you're in a position to lecture me on reading carefully? Again: you attributed to me an argument I did not make! I did not argue that...
No, absolutely not - the word necessary is, well, necessary. If I am superman, then if superman goes to the grocery necessarily I go, because I am he....
I didn't mention God. My argument entails that moral values are the values of a single subject. Not necessarily God. And the argument - the Euthyphro ...
This isn't about the dialogue. This is about the criticism - that is standardly titled 'the Euthyphro' of 'the Euthyphro problem' or 'the Euthyphro di...
I think 2 is false too. But it is not clearly false. It appears clearly true. Again, I stress, I reject 2. But I accept that it appears to be true. Im...
That is absolutely not the argument I made! I think moral values ARE contingent. Yes, moral values are not the values of just anyone, but just one per...
I think the problem with you lot is that you in your minds - but not in my posts - you are confusing moral values with things such as moral judgements...
They are the same. Change "bag of turnips" for "moral values". Then change "wife" to "my values". It then follows that as moral values and my values a...
What about this argument , or did I went wrong again? 1. If picture in paper of General Mszveslescvi - war criminal wanted for atrocities committed du...
It is the same argument. There is only one me. I'll put it in terms you understand. 1. if bag of turnips is wife, then if wife go market, necessarily ...
I have answered lots of your questions, and I still think they are not in good faith. Anyway, be so good as to answer some of mine. Do you think this ...
I don't understand your question or its relevance to the OP. The argument I am considering is this: 1. If moral values are the values of a subject, th...
Citation please. If you ask me a question, you want something from me - an answer. Well, if you want something from me, you do the work - you're the w...
If you're asking a question, then you want me to give you something. So you do the work. Now, provide citations in support of all of your claims pleas...
