https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgDFjQ8K52w I haven't been training, but just laying around all winter. I no longer need to in order to maintain this ...
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 ...
"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...
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...
Well, his notion of "rigid designator" is actually an unhelpful tautology, meaning the thing he's trying to suggest. He contrasts rigid designators wi...
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...
I have an extremely anxious heart. I can't experience any real, emotional confrontation without having something of a panic attack, even online. When ...
I wish that I was about to be engulfed in molten stone... but no, I have to experience slightly below 0 temperatures momentarily while I get wood, lik...
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...
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...
Not really. See Kant is an empirical realist, and transcendental idealist, which can be seen as drawing an epistemological, and ontological cut throug...
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...
I think that process-esque type wholeness approach is best. An identity can be defined by its entire lifetime, and identifying something from our end ...
Hume was a cool dude, brah. I listened to a lecture course on him, and read like three of his books. I liked his machine head when I was one as well. ...
Yeah, I did. The only difference is that the one that was posted has the brightness increased. Colour constancy can't be right, as that's about seeing...
Silly geese. Go look up a blue strawberry, and then a green one. Why don't they look red? Why don't unripe green and white blotchy ones look red? The ...
Isn't it about whether you feel guilty or not when you do wrong things? How can you ever feel contrite if you don't think anything is ever really wron...
Those were the two points I thought significant that were raised in the thread. I didn't pluck them from the aether. You don't think that there are a ...
What kind of ground are you looking for? What kind of thing could make you, or compel you to be good? These seem to be the major claims of absence, bu...
People usually ain't as ambivalent about moral right and wrongness when it's about them and people they care about. Someone who's faculties are fully ...
The problem is that you're all dirty pagans, praying to nemesis. Everyone is a debater, everyone is entrenched (even I am *gasp*) -- and we're all at ...
It's interesting and relevant for art, but not really metaphysics. See, the aesthetic element to the judgment means that it's still an evaluation, rat...
Ariel does have all of those attributes. She's fictionally independent, fictionally self-aware, fictionally alive. An empirical concept, and an ideal/...
