Yes, I do understand that, I just can't see what relevance that could possibly have to quantum mechanics. I don't think it is really "in tune with Kan...
Sure, I'm not denying that we may be able to offer some original insights and perspectives or that there is value in what happens here. But all of it ...
According to at least a few of the more philosophically minded physicists of recent times, Rovelli, Greene, Wheeler and De Witt, for example, time is ...
Yes, that seems to be a good and even necessary distinction, which was at least implied, if not explicit, in an earlier post where I wrote: So, we hav...
Nietzsche's attitude to Plato is far from unequivocal. But I could not, without the considerable effort involved in locating and presenting citations ...
That's true of that generation, and subsequent generations as well, who lament their sorry plight: that they don't have the wherewithal to consume to ...
Indeed, I know they're all "tangled up" in mine, so I agree! We can speak of those vectors as separate just as we can, and need to for the sake of int...
I think there's no problem with philosophy as an "intellectual game", just as there's no problem with "art for art's sake". So, there is an aesthetica...
I agree that "proto-morality" is not "a domain of morals", and this agreement is related to several discussions about terminology I have had with @"cr...
No, I'm not making any claims about separate realms or anything like that. I'm just saying that what the various sciences typically deal with as compa...
Yes, but that is a different story about the way in which you think the sense of spirituality, of sacredness, has been lost, which I don't see has muc...
What you say here is irrelevant to the point that @"Joshs" and I are discussing as I think is the remark by him that probably motivated your unnecessa...
All human disciplines and activities have their own methods and concerns and their unique evolutions of those and historical origins. Science, in its ...
Very early in the thread I said this: And you responded with this: I haven't changed my opinion at all form the above insofar as I would say that it l...
You seem to be referring here to phenomenological practice The best we can do is to articulate how our lives seem to us, in the most open and general ...
A simple, unnuanced definition of speech would be to say that it involves words, spoken or written. But the visual arts can obviously also speak to us...
I don't know, I think the notion of freedom of speech is pretty clear cut. Basically, hate speech is rightly disallowed. I guess the problem is that p...
Well, we've certainly managed to monetize life! The process, even the human economic and political process, is now so complex that we arguably cannot ...
How the word "idea" is defined reflects what people ordinarily think an idea is. If you think that ideas are only had by humans and you conclude from ...
A complete waste of time, space and energy... :roll: Perhaps participants might want to consider that there are more important issues to be considered...
Practicality, Schmackticality! Practical considerations, lifted out of their proper context and deified, as UTILITY, both lead to, and grow out of, th...
A merely terminological difference, so we can leave that aside, since it wasn't about that I was asking. I can understand what you are saying (since i...
I appreciate that reference to Wittgenstein. :smile: Referring to Gautama we could say that we lay down the raft after crossing the river because ther...
Do you think there is any significant conceptual, as opposed to a merely terminological, difference between "I think that I know x" and "I believe tha...
"Established normative assessments": to me that sounds more like a definition of culture than of law, but I guess 'legal' could be parsed that way. :s...
I can see how that could be true from one perspective. On the other hand, have you read L'Etranger? Mersault awaits his execution, and he is consumed ...
Interesting! Where did you get that diagram? I'm not convinced by the idea that the ethical is necessarily encompassed by the legal, although within a...
The expedient blind eye is turned... :grin: Exactly! If I knew how to produce a Venn diagram on here without a ridiculous amount of effort, I would dr...
You seem to be confusing knowledge with belief here. Looking at it from your kind of solipsistic perspective it could only be belief and nothing more....
