Yes. No. It's a way of differentiating two things that are different. If you want to call the pope a philosopher, you have to differentiate him from t...
You've skipped the hedonism here. Hedonism claims that something is good when it produces pleasure. If I find pleasure in hurting, hurting is good. Of...
Every experience is concrete. There is no such thing as the experience of the universal. Your mistake consists in believing that the universal categor...
I repeat my argument: the definition of a word is to make its meaning explicit and the meaning is the use of that word. You cannot avoid using a word ...
The fact that there are exceptions to a definition does not invalidate it. It is difficult to find a word that does not have margins of vagueness. But...
Sorry, I asked him for examples of philosophers pontificating. I don't think the Pope is an example of a philosopher. And the list of "spiritualisms" ...
First: To say that it is good that produces pleasure is an empty statement if you do not specify what pleasure you are talking about. The difficulties...
Since I don't know what knowledge is for you, I will answer according to my criteria: The concept of anguish in Sartre is the feeling caused by the kn...
And do you think that Sartre's concept of anguish -for example- does not speak of the world and man's relationship to the world? Sartre would not be a...
Could you give some examples? Let's say ten. If there's a lot of them, it should be easy to do. Please give examples of "pontification", as you called...
There's a fallacy here. The moral good cannot be elected by a majority like the government. A majority of Nazis will define the supreme Nazi good. A m...
But it is not the same to share an experience of the same phenomenon, as to share the experience of an event that only happens inside my head. The fir...
On the contrary. Different ethical theories think they know what good is, they just don't agree. For example, with hedonism. I don't agree with hedoni...
That's a simple philosophical opinion. You should argue better to be a reasoned opinion. Because the characteristic of philosophy is that it reasons w...
Hedonism is only a theory within ethics. Where do you leave all its opponents? One's own experiences are very different from scientific ones. These co...
This is very confusing. "Thinking alone", "armchair"... You mean philosophy doesn't do experiments? This would differentiate philosophy from the natur...
This is a definition that matches mine. All the examples you mention define or regulate legal rights. For example: building codes regulate various rig...
In my opinion that's a subject for psychology, not philosophy. In any case, if it had a philosophical dimension, it would have to take into account th...
You put a lot of things into your concept of consciousness. It is not the same to have perceptions as to capture the 'I'. Among other things because y...
That there are various scientific methods according to the various sciences and that they are the best way to present evidence about facts seems to me...
Your answer does not clarify your concept of the law, which is what I was asking. That's why I'll clarify what I mean by law. I understand the word "l...
[ I don't know how you use the term conscience. The way you use it is just like sensation. Sensations are not knowledge in themselves. They can be dec...
Philosophy ends when science establishes the facts. This has been the case since the time when science got a reliable method. Therefore, I do not incl...
St Teresa's world was governed by the will of a personal entity. Where is this personal entity in quantum mechanics? Neither in Plato's. St. Teresa's ...
I agree that this is necessary. Many centuries of empty metaphysics have made me apprehensive about these kinds of "universal" tasks. When I hear the ...
Being interested in someone's work does not mean interfering with what they are doing. The philosopher and the scientist who operates on a certain the...
In my commentary I noted that I was referring to today's philosophy. In any case, Plato's dialogues are debates that make explicit the modes of reason...
Human nature is like that. Everyone puts in what they like. Or what they don't like sometimes. There is a basic question that is difficult to answer: ...
If you don't mind I would say that these are examples to which my ten criteria can be applied.I find the last one more difficult. Especially because t...
I think we will never agree on this point, but I will give my opinion. I propose a series of points which may serve to identify whether a discourse is...
It's more than just dissent. I explained the reasons why I dissented from your position. It's because we don't agree on what a law is. A law is a pres...
That's a play on words. The meaning of the law is to allow or forbid something. If the law allows something immoral or prohibits something moral, the ...
There is nothing you can learn for yourself. Everything you learn is mediated by language and social environment. When you learn something through "pe...
In my opinion a moral standard is mandatory because I feel very bad if I break it and I think it is reasonable to feel that way. In my opinion. Other ...
If by causa sui and autonomy you refer to Spinoza and Kant, both are philosophers of other times. They have all my respect and surely can suggest curr...
I was thinking of those who think that there is no rationality in morality and that we make decisions based on our emotions or particular tastes. The ...
Are we talking about moral theories or moral systems? A moral theory tells us what is the nature of what we call "good" and a moral system dictates to...
The quality man (agathos) must ensure the success of his community (oikos) and must prevent, for the oikos or for him, the loss of ground compared to ...
No. I'm talking about myth as something different from philosophical reflection on morality, including that of Aristotle. If you don't define what mor...
