According to Foucault: Power is strength over someone. Not all power is violence. We must distinguish power from domination which institutionalizes po...
It has been argued that consensus among experts on the meaning of "atheism" is not unanimous . Antony Flew is the only exception of the consensus that...
You said the debate on the meaning of "atheism" was not relevant. I was explaining to you why I'm discussing this issue. That is, because the main rea...
Well then, let it not be said that I use the terms in a way that favors theism. That is a provocation to the debate, isn't it? And besides, it's not t...
This semantic game has nothing to do with the use of "atheist". The word atheist does not appear in the conversation in your own text. It would be the...
Among experts, whether academic or not, the terms atheist and agnostic are still used in their usual meanings: to affirm that God does not exist and t...
Agnostic and atheist are not things. They're words. Atheist is a word with a long journey behind and some different meanings. In modern times, when Vo...
It seems that a strict verificationist can only claim realism in terms of belief. That is, a strict demonstration of the outside world is impossible, ...
Thank you. Your position is similar to Thomas Huxley's, who coined the word "agnosticism" to refer to it. According to him, there was no word for it i...
Sounds like a good reason to me. You passed the buck to the theist. It's his turn. Although he may ask you if you know many arguments about the existe...
There are some words for all this: mythology, pseudoscience or magic thinking. If they're meant to be something philosophical, metaphysical is their c...
I didn't say that feeling includes a judgment. Feeling is the perception of have injured someone. Just as empathy does not include the judgment of fee...
It refers to the hard version of empiricism. Only what is verifiable is real. The way to verify is observation. Observation is based on sensations. No...
What do you mean? a) God (very) probably doesn't exist. b) You can't tell if God exists or not. c) The existence of God is a pseudo-problem. Thank you...
You have a feeling of shame or guilt. This is the psychological fact. After that you can think about what you've had and categorize it as shame or gui...
The undoubted truth is that if you think now you are "something" that thinks now. What happened before and what will come after are no longer undoubte...
If that is the main reason, it is absurd. Sooner or later the atheist/agnostic - that is, the one who simply declares not to believe in God - will be ...
That is the definition of an unfalsifiable proposition, that is, without empirical meaning. Empty. Descartes spoke of a proposition whose opposite was...
I would like to know why defining oneself as an atheist in one way or another favors belief in God. This is a statement that I have read at times with...
I don't see any contradiction. It's one thing to know and another to want. The person who says "I know very well that I shouldn't eat chocolate, but I...
Are you saying that until you think "This is a house" you don't have the perception of a house? Your life must be hard. You should see a specialist. J...
First we would have to define certainty. I'm afraid if you set the bar at Descartes we'll have no certainties (practically). Second: that god does not...
You said that it is very common for philosophers to answer a question without answering this particular question. After that, you raised the question ...
You don't realize that I'm not in the field of morals or ethics. I'm not recommending anything. I'm explaining what moral emotions are and how they wo...
This sentence doesn't make sense. What is guilty is not the action but the person. I recognize myself as guilty of having done something wrong. Please...
You could escape your contradictions by eliminating the term judgement. An unconscious judgment is not a judgment strictly speaking. It would be more ...
No agreement is possible. All so-called moral feelings involve relationships with others and a certain sense of right and wrong. Indignation, pride, r...
The contradiction is only in your head. It is not true that guilty is a judgement and not a feeling. The criminal that hide his crime just because he ...
Einstein is even older. It happens that in philosophy of science and in science it is convenient to be aware of the theories of the past that are stil...
Right. You mentioned your boss. I understood it was a reference to his master in the degree. I could have used your boss's opinion that you quoted. Bu...
When we talk about moral emotions in psychology and philosophy, we understand that they are those that affect my relationship with others. In addition...
Of course. It is a fact that guilt is a feeling that affects many people, who judge that what they have done is wrong. The fact is the burden of guilt...
You confuse two things: the urge to hide the malicious act and the feeling of having committed a truly malicious act. You can try to hide the act with...
You confuse the guilty verdict in a court of law with the guilty feeling of the guilty. We're talking about the former. They are very different things...
I don't understand the question. Please be clearer. That certain emotions arise in relation to a victim and others do not is not an arbitrary distinct...
I find it very strange that at MIT no one has explained to you the difference between factual and formal sciences, analytical and synthetic propositio...
I believe you, but I'm discussing facts. That shame and guilt are two different emotions. That guilt is not a consequence of shame and that the time s...
This doesn't make any sense. The act is a fundamental part of shame: being seen (really or imagining) doing something that one shouldn't be doing at t...
Where did I say that? Where did I say that? That's not true. I've already given you an example. Can you answer to my objection? I doubt it. That defin...
If you prefer to limit yourself to the ordinary language which is always imprecise, I have no objection. I thought you were referring to expert opinio...
The same feeling of guilt gives rise to two different responses: hiding the guilt or acknowledging it. These differences are due to different circumst...
