Was he admitted into a greater political position within the U.S.? Then he had to do something to get there the same as all the others. Who did he mis...
Physicists say lots of things that they come to later regret upon a cursory examination of their language. Perhaps they should keep their mouths shut ...
Except, if blindness yielded vast catechisms of iron-clad, faithful, resolve and beautiful imagery in our minds over the dullness of what lay before u...
None of them are evidence based as you've been mislead by the preferences of others who have strapped such interpretations to useful epicycles. The la...
Something more inline with what Milic calls the corpuscular-kinetic view of nature which arises almost entirely in certain respects from our imaginati...

@"Wayfarer" @"javra" So I've now taken some time aside after finishing Metaphors We Live By from George Lakoff & Mark Johnson, The Philosophical Impac...
I admit it's a trope of philosophical and scientific thought to think so highly of only the most abstract things we can entertain ourselves with. Gali...
I'm not exactly sure. . . part of my journey here into these other works is motivated not by undoing the whole hardness of science nor is it entirely ...
@"Wayfarer" I'm shaking right now and have tears streaming down my face as thinking on all this has driven me to an emotional self-revelation. I'm not...
@"Wayfarer" Despite the appeal and curiosity I hold to that approach of Lakoff and Johnson it doesn't seem to assuage the worry within of deeply misle...
You are not wrong in that assessment. In my life I have few interests and fewer things to be proud of in their stability as well as their personal mea...
They, figuratively, castrate themselves among those who have yielded themselves up as an audience. They attempt, however limited, to stretch out all p...
Which does depend on your definition of a what a belief even is. A cursory look at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy lists a number of predictab...
Well. . . there is a discussion that could perhaps go on without this obfuscation dealing with whether that intuition we call the certain/uncertain di...
I don't think saying 'knowledge is mere belief' solves the conundrum we all started with or what was the entire point of making up the 'knowledge' con...
I'm missing a lot of context here because you write so much and your philosophical thinking is rather dense but I feel as if there is really just a th...
Yes, but I'd emphasize that this guide is a delusional one which through religion or philosophy we acknowledge its unreality yet we desire to hold to ...
Obviously, its by society. A mischievous fellow who follows your every move who transcended the plurality of the many to confine itself it to your hea...
Its interesting to see someone who makes such a claim as to the identity of moral concerns as being confined largely to emotional concerns. Which is p...
He has a cheap E-book on Barnes & Nobles which outlines much of his thinking which is heavily influenced by Whitehead as well as Bergson among others....
Have you heard of Milik Capek? He is a writer and philosopher who has taken odds with spatialized approaches to the language of change/time present in...
Yes, but in doing so you could admit to a high degree of arbitrariness about it. I.E. be highly subjectivist about this choice or view it in the same ...
That is what I've been coming into conflict with but in a more generalized sense of meta-metaphysical attitudes. What happens to the god debate or the...
Come to think of it this seems to happen rather often in treatments of societal problems but generally not because of giving morality the lime light. ...
Such explicitly emotional times have passed and I have come to a homeostasis both in living with them as well as on such a personal level. However, cu...
I've had my fair share of posts a while back on these gender issues which in hindsight only appeared out of a pathetic defensive need. I had, at that ...
It's so peculiar to permit forms of perceived abnormality to such an irrational degree. Where does this naïve compassion/entertainment end and a repre...
Are we really at such a point that a 'discussion' mitigates other such concerns that may have primacy with regards to such extensive/extreme modificat...
Its the same, I'd say, for every person who considers themselves 'moral' or having fulfilled their moral duties as proven by some 'justification' so t...
I haven't personified what concepts lie in the field enough into flesh and blood. Nor has a clear methodological motive made itself clear to me. My ta...
I mean everyone here including myself. Any term you or me use is polluted by colloquial meanings and socially present biases. To call something "truth...
I wouldn't exactly say that only 'real life' does so. I've also felt. . . impeded. . . by the idle speculations of others here and elsewhere. To call ...
You know, this is something I thought about frequently a good while ago. The answer is still rather indeterminate but my circumstances have always see...
Perhaps it's the subversion of the ego then that brings about clarity. If not just by mental will but also by physical action on the self. Perhaps the...
I attempt to be 'quiet' about the choice metaphysically speaking. Whether they are substances or pure relations are question only with answers interna...
In lieu of my sparknote comments, I tend to want to think of them more as metaphorical tools in the physicists/philosophers tool box rather than as 's...
In a similar vein, I agree that the most interesting forms of relationism are those that are also the most unintuitive. If we want to avoid the claim ...
I'm glad you have! I must, though, apologize for all that I have written. The debate between substantivalists and relationists is one fraught with acc...
Now I remember why i've been sober for almost a year straight. Such thoughts are maddening and any attempt to satiate them is a pointless endeavour. ....
You know what is funny. One of the biggest issues posed for a feminist viewpoint is actually getting at a definition of unison among all woman and the...
Those subjective outlooks however question to what extent this biological fact is supposed to rule divide them in the first place. Notice how you have...
If i'm understanding the analogy well enough here then this implies that you can't be too feminine as a male and therefore are 'appropriating' woman's...
So i'm going to use the words male and female to denote having respectively XY/XX chromosomes. I'm using the word women/men to regard the social/cultu...
Based on appearance, yes. Yes, it hasn't anything to do with chromosomes. Only whatever ISN'T chromosomes. . . so everything else. Unless you have a d...
