Not quite. Not that everything could be an illusion at all, not even in the running, not withstanding what analytic theorists say. Talk about illusion...
Perhaps all this is true. But why should one do what is part of an evolutionary mechanism? Preservation of the species? Is this what you tell someone ...
Right at the outset, he makes that cryptic statement about passing over in silence that which cannot be spoken. There is a lot written about your obje...
you may want to read his short Lecture on Ethics, which is I think available online. Then the Tractatus. He typically would refuse to talk about ethic...
Not that suffering is an assault on value. Rather, suffering a simply a general notion that refers to kinds of value: I value not having double pneumo...
An act can be judged apart from the measure of suffering involved, but I certainly don't think this is an ethical judgment. A pragmatic judgment works...
Instant karma? Someone watching? These are metaphysical I cannot support because I don't understand where they get their basis for belief. I try to de...
Justification here in intrinsic to the value affair. It is non contingently determined and apriori, but the apriority is not logical, but is apodictic...
No, this "same moral judgment" is not requited at all, and indeed, such an agreement between is never a real agreement (this is a Quine/Derrida positi...
It is not a theory of judgment, though there would be no ethical judgment without ethics, and there is no ethics without value experiences. Moral real...
It is a powerful position, but, speaking of Heidegger, is it defensible?: Is there no grounding for dasein that is not dasein? That is, in t he phenom...
Well......if no one has ever seen it, there is no beauty. We observers are not passive receivers of some beauty that is "out there". What, did you act...
Not that these are merely core elements of some theories. These are essential elements to any possible ethical theory. No such elements, then no ethic...
Well, what makes something ethical at all? It is the possibility of hedonic consequences (hedonic here making no distinction between, say, music and m...
The issue, then, goes to what it is that runs the argument, "it shouldn't be like that." Why not? The answer then goes to an experience that is percei...
Enigmatic thing to say. Actions have consequences and the argument here goes to an analysis of that which is at stake in the consequence. Therein, in ...
I would not defend the idea according to the way you frame it. It is not a matter of concreteness versus abstractness. In every ethical affair there i...
If you are going to relativize to individual historical agencies then the hedonism But is this not merely dismissive of the evaluative dimension? As i...
The question is what is real about religion, rather than what is just some cultural inheritance, constructed, invented, like Christmas or Hanukkah. Wh...
But Meyer is a scientist/philosopher and talk about intelligent design and the like is talk about science. But then, no matter, for it is not science,...
So you relativize ethical good and bad, right and wrong, not to individual tastes, attitudes, moods, and general dispositions, but to a multitude of "...
You use the caterpillar as a model for us? And these references to Darwin pin you to the very mundane scientism you deny. Caterpillars do not give us ...
The point is missed. The very conditions of your accepting the actual terms of your limitations, all this talk about caterpillars and inherent boundar...
But where did that imposition of a limitation come from? I would suggest that you and everyone else is endowed with a suppressed intuitive ability to ...
But "it" is not a thing without parts, that is, it bears analysis. The trouble with agnosticism is it resignation the foundational issues as being imp...
As I see it, your "index" of references constitutes an endless search of grounding, any proposition that can be conceived being duly contextually cont...
You treat an emotion quantitatively, as if it were a principle of stability or instability that is either sufficient or isn't. But then, an emotion is...
But then, it may be that one biography exceeds another here as it does in all regards. I may not be able to do math like Quine could, but I don't thin...
The key term here would be that of semantic unity, which, too, is under erasure. I think Caputo thinks that since Derrida thinks the apophatic nature ...
That stair can be a very strange place, depending on the individual. Some experience a powerful alienation from all things and familiarity itself is l...
That doesn't help. If you don't side with the atheists, the believers, or anyone else you mentioned, the "trend" certainly isn't going to be a step up...
Why is this not God-sin? But this begs the question, what is God? As for sin, speaking for K, I would say, first, there is no "every moment" as this q...
It occurred to me that I really didn't address this: Heraclitus 's world of flux, one has to ask, why is this exclusive of affirming the present? WE a...
Note that the ideas I set forth here is not exclusively an attempt at weaving textual agreement, which is what academics hold so dear. I explore, appr...
Excellent link. This is from The Concept of Anxiety, a seminal work. As you read through this text you find Sartre, here, Heidegger there. I wasn't be...
Well then, you sound like a Kierkegaardian. the trick is to become a knight of faith, which is to live in the present and embrace the past and the fut...
Okay. I would genuinely like to know. Some of Husserl is very accessible, like Cartesian Meditations and others. Ideas get rather technical, but it is...
But cultural relevance hardly matters here, and more than it would matter for quantum physics. Alas, if people take idealism seriously, something migh...
Okay. So here is the passage: One can, quite generally, in defining the concepts of the past, the future, and the eternal, see how one has defined the...
So, I'll field these as I see fit, though I may be a bit on the outside of the issues. As to immediate presence, I see no alternative to thinking of t...
I reviewed what you said earlier, and it is not wrong, just not really to the point. You are being asked to look at time as a structure of experience....
Energy distribution? Neuroscience and psychology? But what is it about this that is not outdated by a century? Not regarding specific content, but reg...
Sorry but that is not it. I mean, I'm not saying things you say here an there are all not true, but that this has nothing to do with what Kierkegaard ...
