To say it in the way you are demanding would be to share it. What I can't share is what I feel when I look at things; the aesthetic response. I don't ...

The obvious needs no defence; it's more a case of trying to find ways to help you see it.

That's hilarious; you're asking me to tell exactly what it is that I cannot tell you!

This is reminiscent of Peirce's definition of truth as consisting in what the community of inquirers come to believe at the end of inquiry. And since ...

All I meant to say was that perhaps you shouldn't allow anyone's tedious logic-chopping to stop you engaging here (on the Forum), but should allow it ...

Should be 'you are the sole reason I don't engage with you as much as I otherwise would'. I could relate to that; I feel that way myself when argument...

Claims are said to be fallible precisely insofar as they can be true or not.

You can say what is not shared, but obviously you cannot share it. I think that's where you are becoming confused; you think because you cannot talk a...

Sure, but the cosmos can never be an object of perception like a tiger, a cloud, a fish, a mountain, a star or a galaxy. So 'cosmos' is just the idea ...

You don't know that the cradle appears exactly the same to both of us. And even if it does, no perceptual moment of it can ever be exactly the same as...

Each unique perspective is not, cannot be, shared.

It seems I thought it was obvious that I mean "shared" to be synomous with "intersubjective". Just in case that isn't right, I fixed it.

"Objective" is obviously too strong, and "shared" is synonymous with "intersubjective"; so what's the problem? The fact that each observation of the o...

It is not the topic of this thread, to be sure; but it would make an interesting topic fro another thread.

The capacity to have a moral opinion would not have been possible without there having being an evolution of species, because the human species would ...

I suppose I could agree with that, provided the idea of separate magisteria is not taken to suggest that there is a spiritual domain separate from the...

I know your subjective experience is unique because it follows from the fact that no two entities are identical.

We have the same general physiognomy and can share a language and culture. We each experience our own unique subjectivity, so that is not shared in an...

I'd say that ethical and aesthetical disagreements can't be settled the way that empirical disagreements can. Correct answers in mathematics and the m...

No, I don't agree with the first option. I think Wayfarer's right; that's the option I'd go for.

I didn't choose any of your options because I think the world is always already replete with meaning; both ethical and aesthetic. And science is but o...

I would agree that faith frequently (perhaps always?) does entail empirically unwarranted belief. But isn't that to be expected in the context of reli...

No ad homs, just pointing out your lack of argument: Here's a fairer statement, which still requires explanation: Inter-subjective presumes the primac...

You have allowed that we might not be morally responsible, and since it is impossible to know that something false is true, the possible falsity of th...

Well, that's a bucket with no contents. You are "pouring from the empty into the void". Try engaging with what I have said and providing actual argume...

Kenny seems to contradict himself, as I already said. In any case, even if I granted that he does seem to set faith out as unwarranted belief, that do...

It's a poor analogy because one is either a Scot or not by virtue of being born in Scotland or having become a citizen or whatever other criteria migh...

You do this often. Simply make a pronouncement, and imagine that you are under no obligation to argue for its verity. I think there is a valid distinc...

It's a shame you apparently are unable to argue for your position! The point is not moot. I have said that we cannot know that religious faith must ma...

Are you admitting a distinction between subjective and inter-subjective warrant, or rejecting it? We already know that inter-subjective warrant, becau...

No, I don't see your purported problem. If some Christians say that a particular belief, for example that the world was created around six thousand ye...

You are contradicting yourself. The first passage says that reason tells us we are morally responsible, but that we might not be. This means that we d...

It's not special pleading at all, but recognition of the distinction between literal and metaphorical interpretations of scripture. Give an example of...

Your point if you have one?

How do you know they are unreliable? Unreliable as to what? You realize that purported revelations can be taken literally or allegorically, and that v...

Only stupid fundamentalists take the bible literally enough to believe the Earth was created around 6,000 years ago. BTW, I am not a Christian of any ...

What do you have in mind?

But if it is reasonable to believe in God, why would it not be reasonable to believe in revelation? Anyway, if faith in a creed is taken to be anythin...

And yet from right at the beginning of Kenny's article in the abstract: "but mere belief in God may be reasonable even if false." What is belief in Go...

Damn it, I've just inadvertently edited and lost my response to your post before last with what was meant to be a new response to your post above, whi...

You've just said No, all I've been trying to do is find out exactly what it is you want to say; to find out just what you think the difference between...

At least one, which you haven't offered. If you can't or don't want to explain it that's fine; I'm happy to let it pass.

You haven't explained, and this still doesn't. Are you saying that belief that is based on logical possibility alone is reasonable but not warranted o...

I agree they can be seen as plausible. It all depends on your foundational presuppositions. That's why I say that for religious beliefs to be consider...

I disagree with you, but will not argue further other than to give what I think is a good example. The conspiracy theory that claims the moon landings...

I would say that a belief's being truth apt (It's being capable of being eithrt true (or false)) is central to beliefs presupposing truth. Of course n...

True enough I suppose, but nonetheless irrelevant to the subject at issue.

You are yet to explain what you think the difference between warranted belief and reasonable belief is. Perhaps an example of a belief that you think ...

I was thinking of a set of beliefs, for example a worldview or religion, some of which are contradictory. The appearance may well be the reality in th...

Yes but not all warranted, or if you prefer justified (which in my view means the same) beliefs are true. The fact that beliefs presuppose truth (are ...
