There are good inequalities and bad inequalities. A good inequality is a due inequality. A bad inequality is a condition where there is privation of a...
Number has both mentality and physicality. The material world is expressive of the mental number. And all design and art is fundamentally founded upon...
There are no good arguments for physicalism. Unless we want to say that reality is one and that everything has both a mental and a physical aspect to ...
Contemplation in itself is neutral, it is literally just vision. Vision is good or bad depending on the object of intentionality of vision. I have wit...
There are principles in the occults saying, The Universe is Mental. Mentality does hold primacy over physicality. Yet there is still a higher one, the...
Logic literally means Order. According to the order of order, it is necessary that there is a First Cause being Order itself. If Logic is the source a...
I disagree. Instead it is because God is Simple and Uncaused that He is Free. Consider this. God is like a "container". This container in itself is ne...
I cannot provide an actual answer as I am ignorant of the true metaphysical principles of reality. However, it would seem that the distinction is not ...
Political authority is derived from the fundamental concept of hierarchy, that there is something higher than something else. Say A is higher than B, ...
What is reason? What is rationality? Who defines the laws of reason and is the authority of that reason? Is it us humans or is it something else? It w...
Why posit monism? Because that is the truth. Monism is true and when the time comes everyone will acknowledge monism. The one supreme reality that is ...
This really does depend on the definition of "science" and "religion". You can have science presented as this systematic method of studying reality an...
Before I can respond any further, I must ask to clarify the meaning of the terms written here. First of all, what does "fundamental" mean? Does it mea...
From a religious perspective, God is more pleased by a genuine search of the truth instead of a blind assent to authority. That is besides the point t...
I would be honest, this is borderline mysticism in the deepest heart of philosophy. This is not a negative comment by any means. But I must make a com...
I must apologize for my incoherency or my seeming disrespect. I hold no disrespect, only disagreements. However, if my words indicate any disrespect, ...
Pardon me if you consider that as an ad hominem and an unnecessary one at that. However, I cannot apologize for another reason that is I don't conside...
I believe most materialists would have some knowledge if not a complete one of the opposing worldviews. For a materialist to have absolutely no knowle...
Thoughts, they are such a fickle thing. Now most people will not deny the "validity" of the process and product of thought, however they will surely d...
I believe we have different conceptions of what is an ultimate reality. If ultimate reality is just a human construct, then for sure it has no absolut...
I believe access here means even fundamental knowledge of the existence of an ultimate reality. To me, knowing what the ultimate reality is "like", an...
That is a very nice way of life and thinking. I had an ethical thought back then based on "acceptance", making peace with all of reality, even the wor...
Thanks for your welcome. I have been here for some time, but the tension of philosophical debate always messes up with my heart and mind. Only now I f...
I am not a materialist or a physicalist. Your post seems to be more of a lamentation over the current state of philosophy, and frankly, the current st...
I like your idea and honestly I am happy more than ever that someone has responded to me, especially someone who seems like a veteran to me. My emotio...
I have read some of what the others said and my good question is, what kind of infinite are you looking for? As long as you live this mortal life, you...
I agree with your words very much, this is a sound logical argument. Perhaps we may add it with the idea that Nothing can lead to something greater th...
Greetings everyone, It is the intuition that there is a complementary set for every single set. However, intuition is not always true. Intuition, in m...
Greetings everyone, I'll be honest, I am a monist, but not the same kind of monist as the article presupposes. I recall there was a thread about monis...
I can see your logic and I agree with your conclusion that there has to be a first cause. I read a bit through the other arguments and saw that your p...
If life's value is in its relative span of time, then God would probably be rather miserable, contrary to the teachings that God is in an infinite sta...
I might be late here. However, I find it clear that good is what leads to the greatest happiness for the self, and evil is what leads to the greatest ...
Honestly I like your idea. Many mystics have reached the level of eventually simply recognizing that it's useless to do whatever people are doing with...
Then perhaps it is impossible or at least useless to talk about God at all. After all it will just be ideas about ideas which are also just ideas. Why...
I speak differently to different people, so I will match my perspective with your level now. Here I use the definition of "Evil is that which causes s...
I explained God's understanding of evil in my argument. And I appreciate your input, because many people who are simply not aware of the other perspec...
Greetings @"scientia de summis", Initial Catholic Perspective As a theist myself, the problem of evil has always been fascinating. Now at this point o...
