Given that it is good to help those in need, I don't see a problem in saying that it is true that it is good to help those in need.

So both language and other people are part of the world in which we are embedded. Seems we agree on what to say here but not on how to say it.

But will it proceed to the court?

I prefer Midgley's metaphor. The pipes are dirty and leaking and need a good seeing to. ' monks have a role in their conversation for using some conju...

If what you are saying is something like that we find ourselves embedded in the world, then I agree.

This almost got missed: Sure, logic does not tell you what to do. Nor does logic tell you what is the case. But that does not mean we have no reason f...

No idea what that adds. But taking others as granted is much the same as dismissing idealism anyway, so ok. A public language implies a public.

It's ubiquitous, across the forums, at present.

Much the same might be said of any academic survey.

... I can imagine a private language argument. Self-talk as a back construct from public talk.

Thanks for that, . That's not a quantum account of banking, but it is sufficient to show the dearth of content here. I'll leave you to continue shooti...

Indeed, the bald insistence that something we all do, at length, does not occur. And no in this thread, that insistence comes from at least three or f...

To be sure, blind folk are able to talk of the warmth of red and the chill of blue. They can use colour words in much the same way as the sighted. But...

Self censoring. When you see your physicists again, explain to them how energy disappears and how 0.\dot9 \neq 1. They will be so grateful.

Gee, thanks for the advice... Indeed you are right that it was a set of experiences. But you need to think a bit harder and less rigidly than that... ...

And most importantly, for the tabloids, which of them had it first?

Very droll. More philosophers were agnostic than structuralist or constructivist with regard to mathematics, but 38% think the continuum hypothesis de...

So Hillary climbed a set of subjective experiences. Risible.

But that is not what I said. Your bank balance exists, yet is not physical. So give an account of your bank balance using relativity and quantum physi...

This is what many folk (perhaps ?) think analytic philosophy suggests. That could not be further from the truth. From at least Russel's theory of desc...

Yes! , I invite you to read that quote. Are you claiming that, that of which these monks speak is ineffable? I invite you to contemplate how that coul...

Too many disoriented flies

No, it's spot on, but you insist on misunderstanding, again. (disanalogous?) I wonder what, if anything, you think you have said here.

None satisfactory for you, it seems. The rest of us see a benefit in all ceding the right to do violence to a third party; something we learned in kin...

That's the downfall of dualism, you can't insist that there are two distinct incommensurable substances and then say that one can move the other. @"Me...

That question doesn't follow from what I've said. It should have been "Since a detailed list of instructions won't give us knowledge of how to ride a ...

A moral claim is an opinion about what is good or bad. Morality is not about what is the case, but how we want things to be. Mostly, folk find themsel...

Well phrased. Wittgenstein's discussion of pain in a nutshell.

Yep. And it is exactly riding the bike. Which is not something that can be said, but has to be done. Hence it is not a something that remains unsaid. ...

Thanks for such a considered reply. What little I have understood of Husserl's approach gives me little reason to try to understand more. So I'll talk...

Your use of substance/property dualism works well here against 's dualism. The argument remains that if spirit has an impact on the physical world, th...

Ok, we can go a bit further. The point made by the article Bart cited (not by Bart) is that conservation of energy need not hold; the system may not b...

Elsewhere I've pointed to the anachronistic (it's the key word for this thread) use of 'materialism'; it leads to muddles. Materialism was shown to be...

Oh, obviously, but there remains a problem with the physics of things that are supposedly not physical that we might be able to articulate. If they ar...

Thinking out loud, after reading from the article Bart cites as his source, the following argument: Rodrigues addresses each in turn, showing that the...

Cheers, Bart. Thanks for the laugh.

Me. You links seem to be in the main, irrelevant. ...using Aristotelian logic. Oddly anachronistic¹. Frankly, your posts do not make much sense. Like ...

But where? Your argument in the OP relies on transitivity between three events, A, B, C. There's no similar argument in section 6, where the Gomez art...

But what about my on-topic comments concerning plagiarism? Further, my comment concerning work shows the problem with the argument in the Rodrigues ar...

This? Section 6? Seems to me on a quick read there are sufficient differences between that article and your OP for you not to be guilty of plagiarism....

Link or reference? Or was it in Mad Magazine?

Good summation. Ghosts are fine provided they don't do any work (W=Fs). Another one of 's joke threads.

Hence rendering that name ineffable...? And we return to the difference between what can not be said and what ought not be said. Consider: This highli...

Would you be content with a chemist who refused to make use of the atomic theory of matter, insisting instead on dealing only in earth wind, fire and ...

Of course I'm doing no such thing. The point made is, that one is able to ride a bike is proven not by being able to say what is involved, but in the ...

Yeah, noted. Looks a bit like a back construction, but might leave it as a moot point. Causality, Determination and such stuff. I argued that causatio...

So do we pursue that line of thinking? I'd suggest that our actions are physically caused yet not physically determined. Free will is from early 13c, ...
