Old school. We can't know any empirical claim with 100% certainty, isn't that what Kant showed, that the Noumea is not something we can know. What is ...
This is what my last paragraph was about. How a painting can grab you: Here is The Death of Socrates, which was done by Jacques Louis David (French, P...
Our phenomenal reality is never complete we are always adding what we know to what we see, but we rarely suspend our belief in what is manifest to us ...

Perhaps beliefs as a class have kinds, and some of these kinds are objective or empirical and others are subjective, and of the subjective some ration...
I like the videos, ideas are presented very clearly, but I am not so sure of all the conclusions, which are very attractive, I guess I just don't see ...
Sure that's why I said it is "...equivocation because depending on who is using it, the same set of circumstances can be viewed as tolerant or intoler...
Tolerance in the past was used to distinguish the minority from the majority, it had a very religious/ethnic dimension. Jews, Quakers, Papists were to...

There is very little direct info on Socrates. it is speculation mostly based on what Plato, Xenophon, and Aristophanes wrote about him, all highly dis...
Some insects like drosphila apparently don't have cannabinoid receptors, unlike most other primitive and higher animals. So I'm not so sure there will...
