I see a clear connection between enframing in QCT and inauthenticity in B&T, and a clear connection between 'Only a God Can Save Us' and enframing, ye...

Besides the usual dead horse about the subject/object distinction and Heidegger (which @"Xtrix" has I think rightly continued to flog here), there's a...

You will be missed, @"Streetlight".

Anything with lots of tasks that have fuzzy boundaries or ill defined specs will resist automation strongly. Being a doctor or nurse, childcare, suppo...

, I voted no, I'm suspicious of this line: The interval of real numbers (1,2) has 'no number on the right', as it does not contain its least upper bou...

Both I think. There's some (2009) evidence about this from Philpapers survey metaphysics questions, here. If you need me to write something on factor ...

:rofl: Deep dive works too.

Every number is an exact number. If you approximate pi with 3.14, the number 3.14 is exactly itself. The number pi is exactly itself, and the differen...

A good question.

Aye. I don't think you like 'mental furniture'. I wanted to bring that out with the argument. The first relationship might be called intentional conte...

You'd be better off asking on a mathematics forum or a student forum. My knowledge is outdated, but I recall E-Kreyzig "Advanced Engineering Mathemati...

No but try this. @"SophistiCat" - do you still keep this updated?

Ah I see. Sorry. Do you have a reference for a Site Conceptual Model?

I don't think my list starts far back enough to be a general guideline. Most questions aren't even precise enough to get numbers associated with them!

Density of conceptual content is inversely proportional to required message length. Fine distinctions with caveats, more words.

And for context, you don't need to look far to find that at least the linguistic framing of the issue is contentious, see this bit from SEP article on...

Seems to be. 'Every belief can be put into propositional form' = 'For every belief there exists a statement such that that statement expresses the bel...

Normally when there's an all and some statement, 'for every belief there exists a statement such that...' someone argues for it, no?

It's Saturday and we're lifers. I expect.

Super interesting, thank you.

I know dictionaries are shit for philosophy, but I don't see a better way to broach this. Definition of sacred. Someone dies, their profile is left on...

Do you think the division between political north and south tracks the division between the two sides of 'profit upon alienation' in Theories of Surpl...

To see if I understand, the idea is that you've articulated a coherent narrative which describes the different contexts that the 'tendencies to act as...

I agree that 'why then and not then' is part of the crux of the issue, it's the psychological bit. There's also the normative bit regarding 'tendencie...

Maybe I'm missing context, but I don't see the difference in perspective the two accounts provide in thread. If what matters for the purposes of the t...

That one.

First time I'm hearing anything about that!

What role do you think cognitive dissonance plays in all this? I think maybe you've missed a fourth option that the expressed beliefs are put by the w...

Also at @"Srap Tasmaner" - it seems there's some broad agreement regarding a Christian's faith, even when it doesn't behave like a system of statement...

I agree entirely here. It seems to me if you look at anyone's beliefs (closely enough), they're all smeared and ambiguous. Beliefs seem to me to be mo...

Click on my name above this post, it should take you to this page. You should hopefully see "send a message" below my profile picture on the left of t...

I agree with the distinction, I think the point made in the article in the OP (and argued by @"Banno") is closer to judging Christians though. Namely ...

Spicy take warning: One thing which makes me believe that religious people ought not to be judged so harshly, or given some leeway, for what they beli...

I don't think something so basic was seriously disputed. It just looks like you've tried to demonstrate that people can be justifiably judged on their...

Are you planning to link this account to the OP or a claim like "A belief in the Christian God is a bad mark on someone's character"?

I doubt more words will help at this point. I suspect you know approximately what I mean?

Great! So how do you judge what the beliefs and practices which form part of an incoherent system say about someone?

Also at @"Srap Tasmaner". So one response seems to be that it's (bad for some reason) to judge Christians for worshipping an entity they believe torme...

I think there's a relevant difference between believing literally like a fundamentalist and not believing "clearly"/in a "clear-eyed" way in the artic...

The 'I worship an evil God' -> 'I am evil' connection comes out more in the paper. Section 'Can we admire the believers?'. It would've been nice if mo...

I'll drop it then. Thought it would be evident seeing as you already saw the relevance of commensurability.

Also no argument from you on the matter. Can you demonstrate that how the faithful evaluate moral actions is the same as how the faithless do? Why wou...

The way you phrased it makes it sound like how people evaluate actions is something they share, even if they disagree on which things get evalauted as...

And if moral evaluation as a practice differed depending upon whether someone had faith or not?

I dispute your ability to speak for the Everydayman since you are on this forum.

Assuming you are not joking, no.

I don't have any good answers here, and I'm not even sure my questions are good. I agree with the intuition that it's not 'just' a matter of categoris...

I think that would be fine. There's been plenty of discussions before about the nature of the continuum. Just try and keep it away from the mathematic...
