Where? Here's what I said, to which you responded about ontos: Not one mention of "ontos." Yes, the word "being" (as in A being, an entity or a "thing...
Surely. But I'm emphasizing (vis a vis Heidegger) phusis as "emerging, abiding sway," the presence of an entity disclosed to us in aletheia (truth, un...
Yes, that's true, but that's not quite the sense that phusis means. It doesn't necessarily mean a literal "development" of a plant, say. It's more the...
"At last"? This implies I've talked about this a lot with you, yet don't remember doing so at all. There's nothing to "get," beyond making a choice an...
You're exactly right: phusis is much more a matter of "growth" -- as "blooming" for example -- in ancient Greece. I don't agree with the second part o...
Interesting to read this thread, watching people gradually convincing themselves, once again, to elect Trump. Not voting or voting third party is a vo...
Not one of a 4-dimensional spacetime or of non-Euclidean geometry. Doesn't really make it "wrong," I suppose, but less explanatory than relativity. Co...
From nature, "of nature"? I'm not being deliberately contrarian here, I just really don't know what you mean. My only point in mentioning the quote ab...
That's a good point. Your point is a good one but I'm missing how that pertains to what we're discussing, which is at this point whether or not "scien...
I never stated anything about a "god of nature." No, because neither you nor I know what "modern science" is. We can't pinpoint when it begins. We can...
That's one translation, the common one. There is that meaning in ancient Greece, as well. But in Homer, Heraclitus, and others, the word logos is more...
No one is asking for a "grand definition of everything." Nor have I said that -- not once. It most certainly is, as I have repeatedly explained. I'm n...
That's fine -- but why only "modern"? That's my point. It's not that we're not very successful, or that observation, experimentation, and predictivene...
How could it be otherwise? Of course he was a champion for observation, calculation, and precise reasoning. This has nothing to do with the myths of d...
Galileo didn't conduct any experiments besides thought experiments. Aristarchus figured out the approximate circumference of the Earth with basic math...
What do you mean by "speculating about nature"? Says who? You present this as if you've stumbled on the true definition of science. But in reality, it...
Right, in this case a "falling," I suppose, which later gets interpreted over as an aspect (or "ecstasy" of) temporality. It's difficult to know what ...
This has likewise been reported, and will (like your other posts) undoubtedly be deleted by the moderators. But keep going until you're kicked off the...
No. He is, yes. No more than we'd reduce "becoming" to a word or a concept -- or any-thing at all. Does becoming have being? Sure. Is that "reduction"...
What a funny demonstration of hypocrisy. It's funnier that you don't see it, I guess. Not interested in my reply, yet everyone in this forum is a "kno...
So no, that statement isn't "concrete," but yet it's "true." But then because it's true, it's untrue. To wave your hand and say this is simply a "para...
You're assuming there's something "out there" independent of our thoughts, words, and interrelations. While that may be the case in a Kantian sense, i...
Sounds like hedonism to me. "Happiness" is something even Aristotle said as the ultimate good (as translated from "eudaimonia"), but he talked about i...
Wrong to us, yes. But this itself assumes some correspondence theory of truth about something "out there." That itself is the subject/object assumptio...
Not in that instance. But yes, you're right -- that wasn't entirely fair. On the other hand, you've quoted very little -- if anything -- from the text...
Eh that's just nonsense. First of all, linguistics has plenty of overlap with philosophy. Second, it's not a matter of "substitute" -- you cannot disc...
They don't exist? Do numbers exist? Depends on the meaning of "existence" -- which is a word, with various meanings. Guess that matters. "Consistent w...
That's just not true. If it were so easy as simply being a "matter of what kind of world we live in," then we'd all still believe in Ishtar and Yhw an...
Sometimes. But in many cases, it simply causes the question or the problem to disappear. Why? Well take consciousness -- the "hard problem." What's th...
Yes, it is. Ousia as well, later on. The evidence doesn't support you on this. I'll stick with Heidegger's extensive scholarship over yours, unless yo...
Phusis was the Greek term for being, yes. This is exactly what Heidegger says, and he's correct. You're hung up on the capitilization, but that's irre...
Saying it's a "verb" isn't quite accurate either, but yes I mean it in the former sense of "is-ness" you mentioned. Not really, although being can onl...
Yes, very much so. I wholeheartedly agree! And well said, if I might say so myself. :) I still don't see how this equates to "First we must define our...
This is your point? In that case I don't see the evidence for it. Neither I nor others have made any such claim, so far as I can tell. Speaking only f...
No, the being of entities is phusis, the emerging sway. That "entities may be seen as changing or not changing" is indeed discussing beings. There is ...
Yes. That's a good point, and I've noticed it as well. I'm sure I've been guilty of it, in fact. It's especially "useful" to save face when someone el...
Sure. So what? Take, as I mentioned, the example of "energy." I know what people mean when they talk about "having no energy today," or something to t...
"Stupid, lazy millennials" (and not just millennials). It's difficult to say exactly what happened with Bernie. On the one hand, the DNC consolidated ...
Well remember what's getting translated as "truth" -- ???????, aletheia. The concept of "truth" has gone through many semantic changes. In fact it say...
