PoR is not a bad subset of philosophy to me, but I think I can explain why it's (at least one of) the part with the most quarrel. 1. Any philosophical...

I thought of a better way to post our difference. See whether it makes sense. I understand your position as that the human reason is intrinsically aga...

This is a good metaphor. But in his position, the answer would be: when one holds a lamp, he can't assume there is a thing within the light range but ...

I agree with you. Besides, these two respectively define “the dark" different ways, and when you call "the dark" as "the dark", you have already presu...

I think I fully understand your position now. There's a jumping in either my reason or yours or both, I was keeping saying "A is possible" while you k...

I see your point, but I think one (like me) could assume a thing is explainable and act as so while keeping in mind the possibility of the opposite. F...

I'm not sure what you mean by this, do you mean ("everything is explainable" or "everything is not explainable") is the least assumption, or "anything...

I completely agree with you that we should try our best to understand or explain all phenomenon we see, I think the opposite is what you called "non-c...

I'm not sure that entropy works backward anything. Because entropy is to measure the unknown of a system from the perspective of the observer, it's no...
