It's not like that. It's one thing what you do, it's another what you know about what you're doing. I doubt very much that in archaic Greece there was...
Yes. Because moral obligation is not a physical necessity. Pantagruel answered you in the same way. In the moral sense you decide what rules you must ...
Sure, but what I was asking was what. Are we talking about Greek culture or Greek morality theories? The problem started when someone spoke of the Gre...
You keep mixing two different concepts of obligation or necessity. If I adopt a rule (not just a moral one) that I believe I must fulfill for a certai...
The Greek tradition was not uniform. There were several opposing tendencies. The Platonic tradition was one of the most important. As you know it reac...
Moral obligation and psychic necessity are different concepts. Moral obligation functions on the level of duty and necessity on the level of causality...
What I meant by my questions, which you have not been able to answer, is that raising an opposition between virtue, duty and consequences is a false d...
I don't understand this opposition. And the civic virtue that was the basis of modern revolutionary morality? Wasn't it a virtue oriented towards the ...
Like every generalization there are holes and very big in this case: Plato. Plato believed in the unity of being and ought in the form of knowledge of...
I don't quite understand. If virtue is moral it should imply some kind of action with respect to others. I don't know how a character that doesn't beh...
I have read some of Russell's books on morality. I have never read a reference to the "four cornerstones" of the scientific method applied to morality...
As I told you, the problem is that your first comment had a clear (and wrong) meaning and after modifying it it has become a series of vague and confu...
You wrote this yourself in your opening remarks. It corresponds exactly to the objections I made to you. I think your attempts to avoid those objectio...
Let's clear up some confusion because you look a little confused: 1. Subject of the thread you proposed: if a scientific method ("scientific mind") ca...
Objection: You cannot qualify an act as moral if you do not have a concept of what is moral and what is not. You cannot put a moral act prior others (...
You take everything I write as replicas of your writings. I don't. I usually present ideas of my own. Rather than repeat that you have not said that, ...
I'm not sure what you mean. A definition of "morality" is possible by picking up the common usage of "moral good"; a strict/scientific determination o...
Rather than discussing the detail of the proposal, I would like to point out two difficulties of principle that are valid for any attempt to solve mor...
Every philosopher who does not enter the Olympus of Anglo-Saxon philosophy. In the mid-20th century, there were channels of communication between Euro...
A friend translated a book by Deleuze. It was a translation much appreciated by the critics and quoted by experts. Privately he admitted that he hadn'...
With Sartre it is like with Freud, everyone abominates them, but everyone uses concepts like bad faith, condemned to be free, hell is the others, etc....
Derrida's views on other philosophers seem irrelevant to me. I have only read half of Derrida's book about the gift and I found it insufferable pedant...
Not only have I recently re-read Being and Nothingness, but I'm reading the Critique of Dialectical Reason right now. I guess I am getting prematurely...
Ah well. I thought you were defending platonism. No. The future does not exist as reality but as possibility. Sartre called it the nothingness that is...
I don't know what this means. You know something if you have an idea about it that you can rationally justify. Knowledge differs from belief because b...
No. I was referring to the basic intuition that one does not fully exist if one does not realize oneself in the world. The opposite is the spleen of t...
Curiosity, I suppose. Amazement is the mother of science. Moreover, because of the consequences in practice. Belief in the reality of my actions is th...
Mathematics is formal science. Not prediction. A theorem is not predicted, but deduced from axioms. I assume we are speaking of objectivity because of...
There is no single method of reaching the truth, but there does seem to be a single concept of truth. It is universal insofar as it designates certain...
I'm not trying to say that. First of all, you have too much confidence in the absolute exactitude of chess computers. The possibilities for the develo...
You have simply transferred the problem of truth to the problem of "cognition". You've changed one word for another. "When I state a true proposition?...
Of course definitions are tautologies. But they are useful or not. It's a question of meaning and reference. Yes, perception is a simple criterion. It...
It's not the philosopher saying it, it's common sense. How can you say there is a dog if you don't have a criterion to decide what is a true dog from ...
But you cannot say anything about Covid-19 if you do not first have an implicit or explicit criterion of what truth is. Saying "Covid19 kills if and o...
That is, it is merely analytical or formal. In that case, Tarski's criterion could not tell us anything about the existence of Covid-19 and the falseh...
What kind of objectivity are you talking about? You seem to believe that even if humanity, the planet, the galaxy and the known universe disappeared, ...
The substitution axiom is a mathematical axiom. I would like to know what it has to do with the existence of objects outside the mind and the possible...
Yes, correspondence theory of truth. Aristotle. But limiting itself to the pure form of the proposition. If we do not epistemologically analyze what t...
I still don't know what this is about. Especially if you add that it has nothing to do with this. Anyway Tarski's definition of truth refers to the fo...
