@"tim wood" Wow! This is next level bufoonery! Truth being subjective or intersubjective doesnt make it any less absolute. Your example is bizarre and...

@"Punshhh" jesus is describing his version of ",truth" to his disciples. Saying IS describing. I read this as jesus being an Elitist political priest.

@"tim wood" It's great the way you ignore posts and just keep asking questions in your not so subtle socratic subterfuge. I've never met you or had an...

@"jorndoe" Its wonderful how many philosophers cant read properly or seperate their minds from straw men categories! What makes you think I was saying...

@"jorndoe" I dont see what occasionally making a mistake in describing means to this conversation.After all who describes and corrects the mistake? Ye...

@"tim wood" If i describe the sky as blue and someone says no and describes it as yellow with rainbow streaks then its safe to day I can say their des...

@"DingoJones" Yep. I think you got me now. I'm not equating every description with truth.

@"DingoJones" As I have already stated above all truths are descriptions. And some descriptions are false. The key is that all truths are descriptions...

@"DingoJones" No,I'm saying truth is human description. And there are varying levels of the accuracy of those descriptions. Something misdescribed wou...

@"DingoJones" Human assertions are the source of truth. But some assertions are inaccurate or false. There is no truth independent of human perception...

@"tim wood" Read my post and your answer is there. So you find it difficult to tell the difference between a false description and an accurate one?! I...

@"Gregory" Walking to the shops today a bird flew near me. Right there I thought so people are Really saying that was fate or the bird and I had no ch...

@"tim wood" I have explained the nuance to what I am saying many times. There are varying degrees of accuracy of description. Some Descriptions are be...

@"tim wood" If you mean no truth separate from subjectivity then yes I live my life exactly like that. Man describes,that is truth. From where do you ...

@"Frank Apisa" Well if 180 reads your current post I see no reason now for any further misunderstanding of your position.

@"tim wood" I defy anyone on this forum to refute the fact that truth is a Description. Banno already ran away tail between his analytic legs. I've al...

@"tim wood" Your bite is that of a kitten. Amateur academic philosophy that deals with so called paradoxes and such like are for pendants and appealis...

Here is that word "objective" again!!! Is science or philosophy objective? Truths independent of the observor???? Well who verifies that? Obviously th...

@"tim wood" Speak English please.

@"3017amen" I think a lot of people do not understand that all truths are subjective and inter subjective. The word objective is a much abused word an...

@"Frank Apisa" You are saying you dont have enough ambiguous evidence to decide either way on this question,and that is true according to you personal...

@"NOS4A2" I agree! See,if you say the individual determines or controls his actions then freewill is proven. The rest is nonsense and dodgy semantics....

Why not call it "possibility" or clarifying the unknown? Doubt is such a misused concept.

A lot of y'all gonna be in for a shock or a treat when you pass! And witty? This worship of this buffoon who thought he ended all philosophy and rende...

@"Hippyhead" Love this story! I think a lot of people would be surprised how often this kind of thing happens. To those who want proof and such like t...

@"Shawn" Essentialism is essential! I would say essentialism is like a minimal or necessary description. Necessary qualities. I say this because the p...

You get these kinds of false conundrums if you dont factors in Innate knowledge. Innate ideas. If knowledge is Description then it makes no sense to s...

The US left is a cesspool of Identity politics and interfering with individual freedom. Kamala Harris fits right in. Its notable that she is considere...

@"Judaka" :rofl: I think sir banno made this into his personal political soapbox. Oh bannos life and death struggle is riveting!

What a disingenuous reply! Took Judakas words and changed the obvious meaning of his sentence. Then virtue signalling to finish. Ah,honesty,would that...

@"Banno" What is this particular building you are referring to which is so important for everybody to access? Most public buildings I know have ramps ...

Nothing curious here mate. It's obvious your agenda when you talk about privilege. It's not a neutral word. And your low key dispassion and feigned cu...

@"Pantagruel" I will have a little look. I read some of poppers work on historicism years ago. I do like his take on plato and there NOT being laws of...

More preaching of predestination! Whatever is said by the determinist is false because he couldn't say anything else! His intellect couldnt decide bet...

@"Gary M Washburn" I'm fascinated with this concept of elites trying to ruin love with the concept of being. I myself agree with this idea. In a non h...

@"Daniel" I think we have to be extremely careful with reductionism in this analysis. There are always multiple thoughts and feelings present simultan...

@"Pantagruel" I couldn't agree more! Poetry is the most elegant and accurate description of reality and human Intellect. No wonder plato and muhammed ...

@"Gregory" In their origins I agree the three abraham religions are satanic. Same with any ideology that subordinates human freedom to some abstract f...

@"Hippyhead" Well,this principle definately applies to humans. I'm always careful not to make a principle of compromise or ",the mean or middle way is...

@"Ciceronianus the White" When "philosophy" stoops to this level it's no wonder folks marvel at the lack of common sense and real Logic of academia.

@"Hippyhead" I fail to see how saying a person has free will and is in charge of their mind isnt eminent common sense? Nor is it in any way exaggerate...

I have to agree with @"Pantagruel" here. We are the general of our minds. It's your attitude to your ability to Express your freedom that is the prime...

This is a great topic! Real philosophy is the accurate description and analysis of reality. Phenomenology. I think you can do both without seeing or r...

@"Hippyhead" I do agree the thread could be split from the original post. I did leave a message to the first poster and hope everything is good. Maybe...

@"Pantagruel" Yep! I suspect science philosophy and religion have scared these folks from expressing the fact they actually express! Its like asking f...

Determinism is just an incoherent dogma. A restatement of the religious doctrine of predestination. If things can only be one fixed way,how to account...

@"ep3265" Do i understand you are saying if it cant be measured it cant exist? What measuring tape are you using?
