This is just emotion and ad hominem. Come now friend, just refute my premises. Let us deal with the truth or error of my premises, not our emotive psy...
This doesn't mean anti-intellectualism. This means you must agree with me, not question me, not challenge me, in order to be considered an intellectua...
Come now friend, you only say this because you demand the Analytical form as a bias of value. I do indeed hope you will not ban me for contradicting y...
This is an emotional state acting on itself transitioning into authoritarianism: By "disruption" one cannot mean, "that which contradicts or challenge...
A most excellent point. None of us are immune from this because we are emotional beings. The point however, to speak in Hegelian terms, is to use the ...
I take this to be a strong antithesis to the Analytical form: one doesn't have to use the Analytical style to arrive at truth. One doesn't have to use...
What an important point! Being subjected to the dysregulation can serve to sharpen one's critical abilities. I just love this and it's so very true, i...
You are quite mistaken. Davidson's article was one of skepticism, "there is no such thing as a language." Analytical Philosophy does not bring clarity...
Unless one dislodges the elitist assumption, that lies at the base of this elitist position, the elitism will remain. This assumption states that one ...
Examples? It's very strange you claim this, because the social sciences have moved away from idealism and into the domain of concrete observation. If ...
You want to compare the academic elitism of Analytical Philosophy to the suffering of homeless addicts? You're claiming that you are like a poor, help...
Yes, I agree. You are correct. I was just trying to qualify, to be thorough, because I know the fallacy of calling something an ad hominem when it's n...
I think it's best just to stick with Davidson. Just tell me about the value of his essay? This is all I really care about. Or tell me about the value ...
Have you ever heard of politics? Do you know how they work? Have you ever heard of manipulation? Do you know what it means to be politically naive? Te...
Yes, I agree, but a qualification is in order: people claim ad hominem all the time and it's not a case of ad hominem. "Gratuitous verbal abuse or "na...
Pardon me. This is not my position. I don't want to silence them, I just don't want them to get special treatment like you want to give them. They mak...
I think the moderators just need to be aware of the fact that philosophy offends people because it refutes their positivity, and not seek to ban peopl...
Who said anything about changing their minds? I specifically mentioned the context: many people read these threads. Further, the criteria for refuting...
I am not talking about Analytical Philosophy versus Continental Philosophy. I am talking about forms of communication and real world value in contrast...
Excuse me. Lots of people read these threads, some of them very likely, impressionable young people, are you claiming that a person is doing something...
You charged the original poster with, "If you get upset by them I think it says more about you and your agenda than theirs." To test the accuracy of t...
If we're going to be analytical, you made more than a single point. And these things have value, right? And these activities are not Analytical Philos...
That doesn't answer my question. You said his criticism of religion is a negative mark against him. I would like to know, does this also apply to peop...
Not at all. Read more carefully next time: 'has conditioned you to come at me the way you are...' This is a reference to your approach, your method. T...
In what sense does it sharpen it? Unto what end? Unto what purpose? Every critical thinking book I have read in my life has been vastly superior to th...
Yes, I agree with you. Further, this "affect regulation" capacity and origin has been studied at length by psychology. Super important area of knowled...
Not really. Maybe if you explain more? I would only caution you to be mindful of equivocation in the sense of entering into another topic. Not that yo...
I did not merely pronounce it, I provided a practical argument. Further the quote by Huemer, who has written 60 plus books (I don't like this game but...
This is equivocates from the original point. The point is not that people must be free of emotion, but that emotional evasions are inappropriate respo...
The moderators will not ban this, and I don't think they should, but it should be classed to its own lounge, they can call it, The God Lounge. I do kn...
It doesn't matter. It matters for psychological reasons of explanation, but not for the present context. The present context seeks to uphold the integ...
I never claimed that one cannot ascend, rather, descend to an aesthetic pursuit of analytical philosophy. In that case we must stop pretending like it...
This is not settled by your feelings, nor is it settled by mine. In the present context the fault lies with the person who is trying to evade criticis...
Absolutely, this is a most excellent clarification and approach to anger. What you are talking about here is emotion in an entirely different context....
Having a conversation about me? I already provided a formal definition, so I don't know what you're going on about here. I don't have a problem with f...
I will try to use this occasion to make a few important points, hoping you will add a few comments. The paper you posed on Natural Existential Moralit...
This was always in the man's heart, deep down it was just a nice thought, but his power has extended so much in these last few years, he can do whatev...
Then he didn't need to mention God, but he did. He invited criticism when he did. This man claims that God has given him something personally and that...
Quite the contrary, it is you that is not comprehending the distinction that trumps the subjectivity you here refer to: 'You will still be using langu...
Is this what you ask your doctor? What about the farmers who grow your food? Unfortunately analytical philosophy is an elitist enterprise. As the worl...
There is no end of life for religion. Therefore they cannot even comprehend what's at stake. Further, apocalyptic events are contained within the hand...
I'm not sure the reason of why people end up in these positions, necessarily negates the notion of these positions occupying a similar place in cultur...
Hard for me to see them advocating this: "a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire" Davidson Further, if this is not the actual...
Can any of the analytical philosophers on this thread provide an example of someone actually making this argument about language? Whose idea is this e...
