I don't think Biden people had such high expectations. It is quite enough that he out-lasted the personal pressure of lies and insults that melted Tru...
An Analytic philosopher, like Tarski, Davidson, or JerseyFlight, trying to analyse truth within analytic philosopy is sawing the branch on which he si...
You're beating a dead horse. Analytic philosophy has been done for a while now. What remains are teaching jobs to train throngs of paying students for...
Great posts ! Sounds like you're enjoying Plato as much as I do. Plato is as deep as the ocean, and one can fish for insights at all depths. Translati...
Psychic research can be easily and inexpensively conducted even by middle schoolers. Funding is not the problem. Academics value their research time a...
There might be a difference between psychic telepathy and demonstrable scientific telepathy. Ordinary language is a superposition upon a vague cultura...
This insight is right on target. It is not the case that analytic philosophy is vacuous or useless or fruitless. Rather, the charge should be that it ...
If there are objects and there is space then isn't space just a complementary object that we know less about? Isn't it just a matter of assigning some...
An excellent point. This is also the most effective way to interpret professor Plato. Something like the Theaetetus was written to fly over the heads ...
This is one reason why people have trouble understanding Plotinus. Metaphysical concepts which have contrary incompatible underlying assumptions canno...
Isn't there a difference between the Good and the One? Usually the One is associated with Parmenides and the Good with Plato with the metaphysical dis...
Biden only says that the health care system, as well as the rights of marginalized groups are at stake and that should he win he will nominate a black...
Did Plato say that or was it the character Socrates in a dramatic dialogue. Shakespeare says "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse" or was it said...
What is reality? Reality is the totality of everything that surrounds me, everything that has the capacity to be sensed or to be thought about by me, ...
Or perhaps in the sense that the photon goes through neither A1 nor A2 because there is never any particle photon at any instant. A wave version follo...
Most early deaths of the elderly were probably due to COVID followed by a secondary bacterial infection which drew strong immune response from the pat...
Proof can be positive or negative. In science, as @"aporiap" already said above, no positive proof is possible but it can be proven that something is ...
The statistics for COVID coming from various countries are not directly comparable because collection and reporting of data depend on the cooperation ...
Minimally, the potential of evolving time space and some initial laws of physics had to be possible, even if only with an infinitesimal probability. N...
Everything flows sounds like a metaphor for denying stasis in a dynamic world. All is change would probably be a more useful modern catch phrase. Chan...
Sorry, I should not have addressed you. Now we have to look at haystack. My point was purely philosophical: The scientific noumenal world of the noted...
Sort of, maybe? Wasn't Kant recruited by both camps? Isn't the heart of the issue is that while some noumenal world is indisputable, noumenal objects ...
As Kant well understood, there is personal private experience and then there is public instrumental scientific experience. For science, it can be take...
Propositions are merely a formality of dictionary words bundled through a simple manageable logic. They are a useful tool for the practice of formal p...
Given those two choices, I can't even imagine anyone actually being an antirealist. Realism is a useful but unnecessary philosophical fantasy. A non-p...
I've got plenty of nothing. I've just checked and there's nothing in my pocket. Now, I have nothing to say, nothing to show, nothing to think about, n...
