Knowing the differences between different communities' values requires isolating and recognizing the shared values in each of the different communitie...
By the way... To clear up the confusion. My reply regarding citations was driven, in part, by the recognition that apo had not been following the exch...
I'm not sure what you're going on about. I like making shit up. I'm pretty good at it too. I'm not the only one. It's the quality of shit that matters...
It's all quite nuanced. Interesting to me though, how you are well aware that I've adopted nothing as far as thought/belief 'jargon' goes. That's mine...
That which is good is so in and of itself. Kant had one thing right. The categorical imperative. However, I tend to understand it as a way to measure ...
Some folk find eating other people to be the most desirable thing that they can think of. The notion excites these weirdos. And yet... According to yo...
Ok TranscendedRealms... Listen. There are several false statements at work in that post. What would it take for you to acknowledge that? I mean, could...
That's not a logical argument. Break it down for me. That is, condense that post into argumentative form. I'd be glad to review it then. At first blus...
If physiological sensory perception is not caused by thought and emotion is, then it only follows that emotion is not physiological sensory perception...
You claim that emotions are a sense, like sight. You then acknowledge that thought causes emotions. If thought causes emotions, but not physiological ...
Knowing the truth conditions of 'X' guarantees knowing what 'X' means. However, it is not the other way around. "This is a hand" Learning what that me...
American youth are showing the rest of the world that it is possible to honor and respect folk who are different. So... An atheist, an agnostic, a bud...
Dummett's argument concludes that the principle of bivalence be rejected because we cannot always recognize whether or not a statement is true/false. ...
If the meaning of a statement is existentially contingent upon a known verification/falsification method, then there are no meaningful unverifiable st...
Thinking/believing that sugar is sweet doesn't require metacognition. Understanding verification methods is a meta-cognitive endeavor. Two year olds c...
Nonsense. One can draw mental correlations between the physiological sensory effects/affects of sugar and the statement "sugar is sweet" without any a...
It makes no sense whatsoever to create a criterion for "verifiably immanent truth conditions" if those conditions can be satisfied by unverifiable fal...
Understanding what it takes to be verifiable is about us. Being verifiable is about the claim. It makes no sense whatsoever to create a criterion for ...
That can't be right. What precedes "because" doesn't follow from what comes after. It should. It doesn't follow from the fact that one knows when asse...
Since at it's core all thought/belief consists of mental correlations between objects of physiological sensory perception and/or oneself(the agent's m...
Nice Street... It seems that that points to an existential contingency. Namely, the one I've been working through for nearly a decade. That which is e...
Hey Michael! I want to critique the following... I'm not even sure if the above is an accurate report of "for the realist". I note a bit of confusion ...
Yeah, seems to me that there's quite a bit of historical bewitchment going on in academia. Self-imposed none-the-less... Here's a simple consideration...
Academically speaking, I would think that the rules for formal debate apply... or should at least. I wrote that regarding your exchange with Srap, and...
I have always worked under the assumption that when one enters into a philosophical debate, particularly a retired or working professional, that s/he ...
I missed that example. Evidently I skimmed more than I realized. :-| So, it seems that this criterion for social construct is one of basic elemental c...
Hmmm. I think that we're not talking about the same thing when saying "worldview". I would say that you demanded that your interlocutor justify his di...
All justification ends somewhere... I agree though, in this case, that Srap offered little to no justificatory ground regarding Fitch's proof. Seemed ...
All I'm attempting to point out is that everyone has a baseline by which they assess the world and/or themselves. That baseline is one's worldview, an...
How is "sure you can" anything other than 'nuh-uh'? How is your conviction that one can avoid bringing their own worldview into a discussion any more ...
There's an inherent difficulty in suspending one's judgment that arises by virtue of how thought/belief formation works. I mean, we look at the world ...
Still, it seems that culling out what counts as a social construct cannot be done with a single incision. Earlier you wrote "of the society" and not "...
