Depends upon the candidate under consideration. It's an exhaustive outline not a specific example. That happens when you work from universal criterion...
Agreed. On your view, what constitutes sufficient/adequate ground for us to acquire knowledge regarding the thought/belief content of language-less cr...
It's usually not a good sign when someone asks another to elaborate upon another's thought/belief system(worldview) and then immediately refuses to ac...
Have the believer somehow break and/or lose the symbol, the sign, the cross, the bust, picture, representation, figure, etc. of Jesus and see how it e...
The right answer would consist of two remarkably different standards/criterion. Right and wrong are a matter of being true/false. Good and bad are a m...
First, the agreement... A sound deductive syllogism has both true premisses and a valid conclusion and/or argumentative form. A true statement/proposi...
Fair enough. There's no need for you to beat around the bush though. If you want to know how it all works, as best as I've figured it out anyway, just...
There we go. Pardon me for having a habit - and a bad one at that - of mistakenly assuming that everyone else has as good a grasp upon my own linguist...
Incorporating one thing into another requires both things. You may not have said it, but the coherency of your position depends upon it. An earlier as...
Do you still not see that the primary premiss is false? Some values are not moral values. "moral values" is not equivalent to "values". With that in m...
One can know what the appropriate thing to say is during certain situations, all the while being both foolish and irrational. One can be witty, foolis...
What does all that even mean? A natural condition. All humans have it. Intrinsic values. "Intrinsic" seems redundant. Remove it. A sub-system? Are the...
A proper report does not change the truth conditions of what it's reporting upon. All moral value consists of both objective and subjective things. Ta...
It matters to be able to take proper account of things in terms of their basic/rudimentary elemental constituency. That, in turn, enables an account o...
It's what happens when the ends justify the means and/or profit is the sole motive. Discourage such thinking by showing what can and does happen as a ...
On my view, moral values consist entirely in/of thought/belief. All thought/belief consists of both objective and subjective things. So, moral values ...
Thinking about definitions is one way to think about one's own thought/belief. It's not the only way. One can also just use language. That's just to c...
That's the problem because it is not true. Consider when one is thinking about one's own thought/belief. I know you come from a Kantian framework. Kan...
I'm all for creating a system which leads to all people being treated equally. One in which more people share in the same sorts of accumulated advanta...
Here are your words, in the specific order you presented them. I want you to keep the above in mind. It is the standard by which we now compare my rep...
No caution needed. I've assumed no such thing. Not all men are they way you've described some. Not all females are like you either(assuming you're a f...
"In it's entirety" is the key phrase. Being amenable to evolutionary progression, that's a moving target. It's meant to focus upon basic elemental con...
Some things are morally valuable to others. Some of your values are not moral. Thus being morally valuable must include something more than just being...
Can we get appropriateness wrong? What determines getting it right(assuming one has gotten it wrong)? A change of one's mind. What determines getting ...
What happens when there is no elemental constitutive difference between the name and the thing being named? Products of our own imagination. Gender? I...
The novel existed in it's entirety at the final rest of the pen/quill. An accurate report of the novel reports on the novel's evolutionary progression...
Not all naming is the assignment of thinghood. Many names were give,n taken, and extensively used long before any notion of 'assignment of thinghood'....
If one is using common language to take account of one's own mental ongoings, then one needs to recognize a particular terminology. If one cannot reco...
To be defined is always the primary ground for some subsequent cognizant ability. That's your words. Primary ground is required for what subsequently ...
Waffling. Some. Not all. Are you now claiming the majority of all men, as in... throughout human history acted like that? Ok. One is more than ought b...
I don't typically argue against 'isms'... A thing's constitution can change over time. "In it's entirety" is helpful to understand existential depende...
Sure. He could've shared that he was struggling with the ending. Is there a difference between Moby Dick, Ahab, Pequod, and Melville's thought/belief?...
