No immoral act or any act for that matter is without consequences; the consequences may certainly be more or less trivial and more or less trivial ran...
Well, since probably most people are, at least prior to reflection, naive realists I don't see how it could possibly claim to be characteristic of the...
Everything with a reflective surface and some light shining on it I guess. But really it only makes sense to speak about anything being visible from s...
Well, I don't agree with your characterization of naive realism, and I don't see how you could possibly know that is what most of them think. You must...
Oh, I see where the misunderstanding lies, I was proposing a broader definition, where for instance something might be visible or not visible to a haw...
But, aren't you just cavilling over language here? In any case, how sure are you that most or even all naive realists will respond this way? Have you ...
I can't see why it doesn't. Don't you know what it means for something which you are not seeing in a field to be visible nonetheless. Perhaps in the n...
Yes, I agree that Kant was no idealist of the kind I am targeting. I am thinking more of Berkeleyan idealism. Phenomena are, I agree, entirely constit...
I would say that "categories and kinds" are not merely projections of the mind, but reflect the reality of the things being seen as kinds and placed i...
I think value is dependent on mind/body to think and feel it and morality is dependent on mind/body to think and act it. I don't believe it has anythi...
I am still not quite sure what you are getting at. When I look at the 'illusion' shown in Wayfarer's last post it is almost as though I can see the ed...
The difference between real delineation and the visual suggestion is that the first produces an actual image of a triangle, and the second produces a ...
A considered naive realism does sound somewhat contradictory, granted. Of course a considered realism cannot be a truly naive realism, because in bein...
Yes, I agree, in fact I don't think the very notion of 'ideas' can be intelligible without the assumption of things about which to have 'ideas', the n...
Hi, and welcome to the forum. I am not convinced that porn addiction should be counted as being as significant a betrayal as having sex with someone e...
I think what you are failing to see is that realist assumptions are not made on the basis of a belief that one possesses any knowledge of the "ultimat...
I agree with all this BC and I think it is mostly in line with what I have been saying about the relationship between envy and jealousy. IT is a compl...
Yes, several of his paintings are in NSW Art Gallery. I was always somehow drawn to his work. The pastoral muse.... On another note I have forgotten h...
It doesn't seem to me to make any sense to say that you feel jealous of your wife in any case. The way I interpret the term you feel jealous on accoun...
Well then what are you actually jealous of in a situation like that? I would say you are jealous or envious because you are afraid that he might be a ...
Envy and jealousy are basically the same. Envy consists in the feeling of losing when comparing what one has with what another has. Jealousy may consi...
First, I haven't anywhere said that adultery is a good thing. Second. society was altogether much more rigidly institutionalized in Aristotle's day. T...
I think Spinoza would say that we are nothing (not what we think we are; i.e. not radically free) in the sense that we are already nothing more than m...
But, such views are ultraconservative. just as my views are liberal. From this it does not follow though that you are aligned with any far right conse...
It's all good; I don't become offended or entertain bad feelings on account of online exchanges (or face to face ones for that matter), no matter how ...
Not much; I prefer the what I see as the much greater subtlety of Japanese gardens; and I am much more familiar with the principles underlying those. ...
Well I didn't see it so your characterization that my response to it it was "just another one of my sophisms" is completely out of line. By the way, t...
This is incredibly disingenuous; you have added to your post. When I quoted it, it just said "Nope". Nothing worth responding to in the rest of your r...
I wasn't suggesting platonic realms or anything of that sort; just a purely logical exploration of the concepts "existence' and 'real' to see what way...
Some liberal conservatives may share my beliefs or even all of them. From that it simply doesn't follow that I am a liberal conservative. Syllogize yo...
Jealousy is a kind of sub-species of anger yes; which is just what I have been saying. So, now you apparently are agreeing with me. It is also an unhe...
There is no need to apologize for your failings Agutsino; just try to see things in a more rational light. You keep trying to cast me as a liberal pro...
Not convincing; if you were just angry and upset as you would be about any injustice that has been committed; then there would simply be no feeling of...
As far as I am concerned those beliefs may have had their social uses in their day ( for a start there was no reliable contraception or social welfare...
