More rigorously as consent or consensus?

Well, isn't it about what can be agreeable to more than one individuals that derives truth value of moral propositions?

The issue that you presented of seeming inescapable relativism for moral claims is mitigated by adhering to what can be shared about the content of mo...

Yes, but only through intersubjectivity.

Please be patient as I am slow. Where have you addressed this already?

What do you mean by that?

Fooloso4, can you elaborate on the "will" to do good according to Wittgenstein? I am under the impression that the will to do good is derived from the...

Well to be honest, not really. I couldn't ask for more. I guess I'm feeling appreciative today.

Magical beer time.

I do some meditation in bed while laying down. Not sure if that counts. Thanks for the app, I'll give it a whirl.

Indeed, emotions, tricky thing that verge into the Frankfurtian realm of lower order volition's and higher order volition's. Easier said than done.

We rent out the guest room for students and young workers. It help pay the mortgage.

You say that both can be professed concomitant, yet my OP clearly demonstrates that there's some snag somewhere. Care to untangle the knot?

See, that's the sort of stuff that is beyond my capacity to be indifferent about. It's just plain wrong. How is that even possible in the kind of worl...

That much I understand. How? We live in a postmodernist society where anything flies and everyone is entitled to their opinion. I suspect it was much ...

For the matter, I have fallen back to Cynicism. I am a failure as a stoic wannabe.

Easy to say. I am unable to get past the burden of Stoicism manifest in this quote from Marcus Aurelius: Really? Begin each morning with negative visu...

What do you mean by that? Thanks for the link, quite interesting.

Perhaps frustration is a better word for my lingering sentiment hereabouts. Frustration with people who are nasty along with the fact that nobody want...

It would be near impossible to profess pity towards people who spit on you, don't you think? Again, we seem to be talking about ideals contra-reality....

It is the arising sentiment about bad behavior that other people can display, which is derived from experience, whilst trying to maintain composure, t...

I don't think this is relevant. I don't need to reciprocate negativity with negativity. Nothing good comes out of it. I'm just highlighting the dichot...

But, the Stoic says that one should not feel bitter over that fact, and to continue on one's journey despite this claim derived from experience. This ...

Hate is typically a bad thing. But, that's the issue here. I feel one way; but, my mind is telling me that the feeling is misguided. What to do?

What I can say about this is that my hatred is due to the "burden of trying to be a Stoic", by which I mean, that the amount of effort required to act...

Not entirely. I recognize that toxic people are around and about in the world, it's just that I seem to be committing a gross overgeneralization with ...

Not likely. It's a good neighborhood and I like my living arrangement. Also, we're both tired of moving around and want to rest easy here.

I don't even know how to address this. What allows one to determine that the same methodology of psychology can be determined one or more individuals?

That's pretty much the issue here. I don't think anything I said amounts to much more @"Baden".

My mother pretty much wants me to stay put until I get my housing in the area. Until then I'm not sure what to do as the waiting list is pretty long.

Just expanding on this, the issue is that I don't have very high self-esteem and confidence to push myself out of my current state of affairs. Not to ...

Not much as far as I can tell.

Sorry, I think you're on point with Kant. Though, psychologism has been replaced by cognitive science in the field of philosophy as of late. What do y...

I don't really understand what you mean here. Can you expand?

You mean here, that Frege along with the logical positivists, yes?

I'm puzzled by what you mean by this? Why the discontinuity?

You mean analytic philosophy, I assume? Continental philosophy seems rife with psychologism in my opinion. Just look at, for example, The Structure of...

Yeah, so hence why I ask if a demarcation between psychologism and antipsychologism can be drawn? It seems like one of those false dichotomies like th...

Just off the top of my head, Hume advocated psychologism with the problem of induction. Kant seems to have advocated an antipsychologism take on philo...

I was under the impression that Wittgenstein was advocating an intuitionalist conception of language in the Investigations. You can see it in his famo...

Hmm, you seem to have approached the problem from the wrong angle in my opinion. I think the Stoic ethos is the right way to approach the issue withou...

Utilitarianism?

Wallowing continues unabated.

I figure we're kind of doing this at whim, so feel free to address any part you find confusing from the book and we will try and address things as the...

I just wanted to say thank you to @"Fooloso4" and @"Pussycat" for entertaining this thread. I don't have much to say; but, thanks.

Goodnight Sir!

:blush:

:cry:

There's Donald Trump bad and then there's Roger Stone bad.

Wallow here, wallow there, wallowing everywhere. Wallow wallow.
