It’s terrible, but it’s mine!
If you get the time, please explain or link. I’ve always lazily ran them together but them being distinct would explain why Moore didn’t just quote fr...
What do you think about the open question argument? I often think that it is too much of a bugbear that tries to dampen meta ethical debate before it ...
Not the OP but I think a moral claim is a proposition that can be made into a “x should...’ claim. Meta-ethical claims can include non-moral claims su...
I think what you’re saying is reasonable especially if interpreted in a pragmatic sense. I think people like Rorty and possibly Quine would agree with...
Interesting link! I wonder who the viewers in question were in that poll?- my guess is that Fox News viewers trust their station more, but that is ill...
There’s the quick utilitarian response: self harm is wrong if the pain you cause exceeds the benefit. So, even if you don’t care about the harm to you...
I think every aspect of life has gotten subsumed in the culture war. Science, politics, racial issues, history. Climate change should strictly be a sc...

That’s a tough one because I never had to quite elaborate before. Hopefully it still makes sense to me after I do so. I still see a stark contrast bet...
It’s terrible right! And, I’m still a sucker for it esp. if it’s found in somewhere generally respectable like the Guardian or NYTimes. I think nutrit...
I love Heidegger and I come from the Analytic tradition and read primarily Anglo-American philosophy. I can’t really get into Sartre, Derrida and othe...
By the way, if you wanna do me a favor, please check out my podcast. There’s stuff on consciousness but with Hegel and history. I might talk about med...
I experience the exact same thing daily. Sometimes, I wonder why I even read the main stream media at all about academic issues. I guess the reason fo...
I have the same problem when I’m reading a science article in a newspaper or general website. The journalists covering science usually covers a findin...
Journalists writing about philosophy and philosophers themselves are two very different types of writers. The journalists want to amplify the outrageo...
Please have a closer look at some of these people who claim that consciousness doesn’t exist. When you work through their position, It usually becomes...
I think most philosophers do accept some notion of consciousness but the ones who reject consciousness get more coverage or attention so the rejection...
