I agree. Terminology is key to: 1) Accurately describing a problem. 2) Determining how a problem is understood within a social group. 3) Affecting the...

Thanks for the links.

By whom? There is inductive evidence in terms of physiological correlates, and criterial evidence in terms of observed behaviour, which establish the ...

That's great. Thanks for the elaboration.

What kind of social environments produce autism and catatonia? Also, if there are anatomical and/or physiological causes of atypical behaviour, and th...

Say, "please."

Frequently, but not obsessively.

If Science of Mind (Psychology), then why not Science of Spirit (Pneumology)? Of course, many will object that Psychology is a soft science which is e...

I agree (you have not misinterpreted me).

Sure. Thanks for providing the opportunity to refine some ideas.

Even as a post to this thread is criterial evidence of mind, the ethical quality of that post is criterial evidence of spirit.

Not tricky at all. I explained that here: "From such criteria, evidence in terms of observed behaviour may be sufficient to posit "spirit", or similar...

Experience is an awareness event. Perception and cognisance are the complements of awareness. In other words: what you know affects what you perceive....

Which says nothing. Congratulations. We are done here.

Considering that this thread was posted in the Philosophy of Religion category, and that the OP and subsequent posts contain the words, "God", "soul",...

Please define spirit.

Body (organic mass-energy) has spatiotemporal extension. Mind has temporal, but not spatial, extension. Mind consists of organism events (conditions, ...

I think I'll leave you two authorities to have at it. Cheers!

I thought you were a psychiatric patient, not a Psychiatrist.

Google Argument from Authority.

Finally! Thanks for admitting that. It feels like I'm becoming an authority on pulling teeth. But just for the record: I'm not a qualified dentist.

Google Argument from Authority.

And that makes you an authority on Psychiatry, not. Sorry.

APA? Aberdeen Performing Arts?

Google Care in the Community.

For all I know, maybe you shouldn't "be allowed to live in the community". Britain's Care in the Community policy has not been an unmitigated success.

So, you don't "professionally work in the psychiatric field". In fact, according to this post, you have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, but work "...

Your apparent reticence (no answer to this question) causes me to suspect that you're not actually familiar with the practise of Psychiatry. So, @"Chi...

Perhaps you could elaborate upon anatomical and/or physiological causes of behavioural atypicality (if not per DSM, then per ICD-10, Chapter V), and w...

You have quoted me out of context, and misrepresented my further comments; cheap tricks. So we are done here.

1) This is correct. The Joe Camel and Joe Chemo campaigns provide good examples of the Elaboration Likelihood Model of Persuasion proposed by Petty & ...

That's the kind of consistent elaboration I was expecting. So, you have developed the Mathematical Theory of Knowledge. I'll probably stick with the C...

No worries. Hopefully, you understood my post to be ironic for emphatic effect.

Read the quote in this post carefully.

Then you must be psychologically damaged, because you obviously didn't read the article linked in the OP (or subsequent posts), and that kind of thing...

Cheers!

When it comes to internet forums, I find personal accounts of mental struggles to be more credible (because the writer usually only has sympathy to ga...

There is also a fair amount of quackery here. Those kind of birds be called ducks.

Thanks for your elaboration. So you are a clinician, but not a professional? What is the difference? And, since you've been participating on this foru...

I agree. What is the prognosis for having an interest in, or just being, unfocused? Are such people already "really disturbed", or inevitably "really ...

Without a doubt. But be careful how far you take that, because it is said that birds of a feather flock together. For that reason I am very selective ...

Hopes, beliefs, and desires are propositional attitudes. They have direction of fit (the relation between a proposition and the world, or existence). ...

Your computer scenario is an example of identification, which involves remembering knowledge (semantic information), but it's not an example of predic...

Cheers!

That would make it relevant to Ethics.

How is any of this relevant to political philosophy? I would recommend that you save it for your next poem.

Since meaning is possessed by a mind (or minds), being knowledge (semantic information), it may be: 1) Universal (innate or inherent) if all neurotypi...

In general, sharing has more to do with communication than with meaning. Meaning is explanation (clarification) by attribution, reference, or relation...

With regard to shared (intersubjective) meaning, whether communicated verbally, or non-verbally: 1) Communication requires message vocabulary and synt...
