This is true only if we decide to leave out objective reality in our logic. If you base logic on what really is/occurs around you, than it is 'specula...
I'm not educated enough on Islam and Islamic law to discuss the question, but I don't really see the connection between Islamic morality and libertari...
We have written laws, law enforcement, we have education - this is sufficient. If someone needs a more restricted code of behavior, they can have writ...
I believe there's the following gradation of moral sense in men. Morality inherent in human nature (not in everyone), natural law, morality of reason,...
In my opinion, the principle of non-aggression is rather sufficient, even though to some it might seem empty and lack content. In other words, it forb...
This time put squarely, I can tell you what's really gobbledygooky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in_quantum_mechanics A pretty load,...
I don't claim that there's energy on its own, energy is a state of matter - kinetic and potential, which materializes in motion. Information is also m...
The point of the subject was to relate the question of freedom, free will to the problem of political order. Libertarianism should assume the narrower...
@"Terrapin Station" This reductionist view is rather weak for my liking. There are lots of arguments, but simply put the structure is 1(entire reality...
In that case, what is your opinion from your point of view. What is free will, if we have one. Is it important? Do libertarians talk nonsense, especia...
So where, in your opinion, these first principles reside? Has being or existence layers that are beyond physics? Doesn't theology discuss things that ...
Simply put, there are two general types of causality - energy shifts and will. Energy can have a simple form or a complex structure processing informa...
Freedom, I think, is an inherent property of consciousness that could be defined as a relation between an area and a line drawn through it. Our consci...
My usage should be obvious - there is a physical world and a metaphysical one. The physical world is sensory, or empirical, whereas metaphysical is su...
What I believe is just a provisional theory or idea. It is not a religious faith, rather an intellectual curiosity. My intellectual template is an opp...
Wouldn't agree that chaos is smth 'before' smth else. Chaos is not passive as some kind of unformed material. God is not beyond it. God = Chaos, it pr...
Mind/body distinction is too old fashioned, because the situation is more complicated than we perceive. I distinguish between the conscious picture of...
The meaning of this symbol is multifaceted and allusion to time is just one of them. To me it indicates time, space, matter, consciousness and so on. ...
Science could destroy humanity in many ways: moral decadence, power combined with stupidity and Ego, a technological disaster, profiteering, war, tech...
The best way to know how close we are to 100% is the scale of action. Civilization would at least be of a transgalactic scale, with the technologies o...
If we assume physicalism as true, 'matter' has two facets that are different in many ways. There's bosonic matter and fermionic matter in quantum phys...
Put it simply how I see it - mind is brain and brain is both a structure and a process. So we have two structures and two processes: brain/mind struct...
The words 'good' and 'ethical' have a narrow meaning and a broad understanding, by which is meant a theory, a system of norms based on it and so on. Y...
I understand ethics only as a consideration in ones action not to do gratuitous harm to anyone/anything. Why we should/shouldn't do harm? Because we p...
Cognition is both a function and an action. The function emerges from the mind, but acts on and of reality, by doing something to it, perceiving how i...
I can partly agree with you, because there may be two kinds of moral sentiment - innate and instilled. What is innate is not easily perverted, whereas...
@"TheMadFool" Ethics, morality is inseparable from the question of free will and freedom. Human beings are free to choose to do good or bad. Generally...
To me the relation is obvious, it depends what morality and ethics are founded on. It may be sentiment, reason, 'reality', ideology, society, some .or...
The answer was addressed and dressed - it would follow from moral relativism and disrespect to life, inequality, technological supremacy of superpower...
@"Echarmion" By moral values I mean ethics in scientific research, the lack of which causes disrespect to life. Also, political, economic, and social ...
In my opinion, the concept of infinity is dubious, because it is a mixture of an operand and an operator. If you ask why, the answer is the following....
In my opinion, the basic symbol necessary to understand consciousness is Ouroboros. The Head is the recipient soul-substance and the Tail is sensory i...
To me reality is more than just a word. As a word 'reality' is a channel to 'aletheia'. Words have two functions: a) to connect two different, communi...
I doubt if there are primitive 'thingers' in philosophy today, even in phenomenology, having a specific method of analysis. Therefore the concept of a...
I don't think theories equate to realities - what reality is behind our phenomenal perceptions are our ideas and constructs that are to be believed in...
Let's say you are right for now. My hand remains functionally the same, although it constantly changes. However, we could assess more precisely how mu...
I suggest you looking at your hand for 10 secs and than tell me in how many ways it 'fluxes' in you head? :) And if it 'fluxes', what mysterious forms...
If it is your opinion, it needs further elaboration, namely, to discern the thing-centric perspective and the action-centric perspective. I understand...
To me 'existence' is simply 'extence', therefore to me it is inseparable from a 'state of being'. Before utility, there must be some sort of 'actualit...
'Mind is existence' means only 'mind is existence', therefore these words are not equated, but rather related as a part and the whole. If the whole of...
To view language as 'representalist' or 'nonrepresentalist' is not enough. I think that in addition to that we must regard it as a spectrum of 'substa...
The concept of 'existence' may mean different things, but I mainly see two of them - existence inside the mind and existence outside of the mind. What...
