If you'd have actually read Aristotle, you'd know that that's because that's a form of phronesis, and can't be taught, or imparted dialectically, and ...

You're just making shit up.

"But, as a matter of fact, higher animals possess in addition to the lowest form higher forms, e.g. man has the rational soul (410 b 16 24). These hig...

I don't read much secondary literature, so I dunno.
March 06, 2017 at 19:29
De Anima is probably the best source. The short answer is kinda... like an amorphous "mind", or "reason" can exist independently of the body, but devo...

You know that they found out that those ancient cave drawings aren't the shit work of unsophisticated savages after all. See when they were discovered...

But isn't that the thing. If I asked you're family if you are the same person as you were as a child, they would immediately think and know that yes, ...

Transition always works if it works, but only for the stoic otherwise. It's all about passing. This is usually synonymous with being attractive in a l...

I only read the one, and also watched a couple lectures he did.

Well, his notion of "rigid designator" is actually an unhelpful tautology, meaning the thing he's trying to suggest. He contrasts rigid designators wi...

Well, then I'll go on Shark Tank! They already have a more plausibly existing life or death trial.
March 05, 2017 at 17:54
Lol, I didn't know what you were talking about for a minute. "Parking tooth" sounds cool though... I have the name, now all I need is the invention, i...

Rigid and non-rigid designators, presumably. Though what's most significant to me, is that he argues that the former are a priori, and necessary. That...

Just "accidentally" startle her a lot, and see what happens.

Mt furnace broke a few days ago, and my wood stove is pretty small. Gotta stay up all night, and make sure no one freezes to death. I have a separate,...

Not only does none of that even matter to me, because I'm not a fan of PP, but it's also damn silly. How does the panpsychist explain why the robot is...

Language was the worst thing that was ever invented. Nothing is so important that it can't be grunted or gestured at.

As amazing as apocalypse always sounds, since it stood up the last 200 generations, I'm not holding my breath.

No... lol, I doubt it could answer that, seeing as how the question, and panpyschism being true would be mutually exclusive. I ain't battin' for PP in...

The basic problems of consciousness are just things like the nature of it, how it interacts with the physical, or emerges from the physical structural...
March 05, 2017 at 12:20
Not really. See Kant is an empirical realist, and transcendental idealist, which can be seen as drawing an epistemological, and ontological cut throug...
March 05, 2017 at 04:59
If consciousness is inherent in matter, and is just a fundamental aspect, like space and time, then it solves a lot of problems, but it just doesn't s...

Nope, you're identical, and the same in every way. Stop spending your lives polarizing, and denying it.

My metaphysical commitment is that actually, everything is spheres, and I'm the most spherical. Wish you were sphere!
