Which religion of human origin condemns all human beings from birth? I suspect that most people have the same mindset as a friend of mine who died two...
cf. Plato's Intelligible World (Being), consisting of: 1) First Principle (The Demiurge), having Intellect (Absolute Knowledge). 2) External Personhoo...
My current thinking, derived from Plato/Aristotle: 1) Scientific investigation is a function of metacognition (active intellect), which is caused by i...
In my Egyptian hieroglyph example, I was thinking more of the symbols used rather than the text they composed. But your question is an interesting one...
I consider these to be true descriptions of basic ontological distinctions: I) Inorganic A) Physical II) Organic A) Physical 1) Body 2) Population B) ...
No. Observations and unproven assertions are not explanations. I've concluded that you are more interested in protecting your position, than in: 1) Ac...
Further to this: A human author encodes semantic data (thoughts and/or emotions) in their mind into a physical form (linguistic code), such as speech ...
Peirce was an objective idealist, so invoking his name (ad nauseam) in support of any kind of physicalism is misrepresentation. A symbol is a particul...
Inductive evidence in terms of physiological correlates, and criterial evidence in terms of observed behaviour, establish that mind exists, and the re...
I think that the: 1) Process of informing, is becoming (particular definition acquisition). 2) Product of informing, is information (particular defini...
Correct. To attribute semiosis to anything other than a mind is category error. So, terms like "biosemiosis" are misnomers. And using the word "inform...
I don't think information does something in addition to what any physical or mental process does. I think information is the process and/or product of...
Fair enough. Being concerned with science fact (as opposed to science fiction), you will no doubt be interested in the comments of these 12 experts fr...
With such types (i.e., head in the sand, ignorance is bliss, fragile psyche, don't confuse me with the facts, snowflake, conspiracy denier, etc.), it'...

What prevents self-haters from treating others as themselves? Consistent with regard to what? Self-esteem, as in: favourable regard of self, self-resp...
Nevertheless, functional neuroimaging links the spatiotemporal properties of neural response and the cognitive state of a subject. So, neural signals ...
I don't know what the link is between neural signals and various types of perception. And I don't think current neuroscience has explained it. Current...
Two different signals are involved in the process of sensation. Light (one type of signal) changes retinal states. Photoreceptors (rods and cones) in ...
I think that mind is an integrated set of organism events which produce an individual's automatic and controlled acts, so; an open sub-system of (at l...
Signals are not only transmitted from environment to body to mind, but also from mind to body, causing change in the environment. The capacity for mot...
Object and subject are an ontological unity, having epistemological distinctions. From a Cognitive viewpoint: A neural message is a function of sensat...
The boundary between "learned" and "innate" is the boundary between "culture" and "nature". Cross-Cultural research attempts to differentiate the two....
I agree. Based on what I currently know of Virtue Ethics, I would use "virtuous" to describe a type of character (those aspects of personality conside...
This implies that a coherent Moral Psychology entails a virtue (as opposed to deontological or consequentialist) approach to Ethics. I would replace h...
