Here's the quote: I just think that there's no point in talking about 'wrong beliefs', 'wrong expectations', and 'wrong attitudes', as if some Ayatull...

Well, it's just that depression is much more than the manifestation of 'psychic-energy'. Doesn't that term sound too new age to be taken seriously for...

Read it. Only read first paragraph but it's superb.

Well, you brought up a term called 'psychic-energy' to describe a state of depression. Something I doubt has any use to trying to describe the term, '...

How much is needed? I hope we can get a toolbar that says how much we need to raise every month to cover the costs if possible. We had such a feature ...

Yes, but the question remains that how does one address this insidiously 'common sense' talk about the economy professed by conservatives and classica...

Just in case it isn't obvious, I have climate change in mind when talking about classic economic thought being professed by conservatives.

I doubt describing this in terms of 'psychic energy' really frames the issue. It seems more complex than that.

Why not? We do it all the time in courts... Arguably. I doubt philosophy would be cut from discourse based on a perfect calculus as if that is somethi...

I agree; but, simply think egalitarianism could encompass what you are saying. It assumes the same and even more. Utilitarianism is inherently egalita...

Well, as far as I am aware, utilitarianism is normative primarily. So, what's best for the general population is entailed to include what is best for ...

They say that in heaven Kant gets to judge if you get in. Moral depravity for the law is a mortal sin.

Whatever. Just keeping it civil.

Just something that occurred to me that must have been true in those pagan days.

It just seems like an endless pissing contest, like the ones I imagine Nero would command.

Is there some ulterior motive to all these sexual jokes, Hanover, or is it just for shit and giggles for you?

Mr. Rogers sure was a nice guy, ain't that the truth?

It's a wonderful day in this neighborhood... It's a wonderful day in this neighborhood... Will you be mine? Could you be mine? Oops wrong thread.

Here is the part that directly addresses the OP's question. Anyone care to help me unpack it? Page 103-104

I am quite aware that the solipsism professed in the Tractatus is not of narcissistic of vain attitude. Rather Wittgenstein, from my readings, profess...

And so on...

I included in this post PMS Hacker's book. I will try and read and post what I think he says from that passage. And so on. All can be found on pages 9...

Yes, to which I was alluding to here. I'll repost it: What do you think is so profoundly important about these transcendental idealist doctrines?

They're in the OP and next post right below it.

P.M.S Hacker thought along what I am trying to express:

Then, I ask to reread the TLP passages I posted. He makes solipsism compatible with pure realism.

Thanks! Looking forward to what you have to say. Happy New Years!

But, then it must be true!

What do you guys and gals think about what these hoards of bitcoin that drug cartels have and hackers have are going to do? Do they just buy gold and ...

I'd say it's a combination of Bitcoin being first to make it to the market with a semi-tangible good (meaning that it is convertible through barter or...

Sam26, do you mind letting me know what you think of the thread I posted? If it's utter crap, that's fine too.

Keeping it rolling.

A thing doesn't exist. Only facts do.

1. The world is all that is the case. 1.1The world is the totality of facts, not of things. So, if the world is the totality of facts, then it would s...

Some attitudes* are indubitable or nonsensical to ponder over. Like, the fact that I have two hands. I'm not even sure talking about having two hands ...

And Buxtebuddha joins the discussion on solipsism!

Totally different genres.

It's a great film. Give it a shot. It's also religious in a Daniel Defoe way.

Have you seen Castaway? You'll find Wilson there. He's a fictional character from that movie.

Wilson and Friday wish a Happy New year to you all. Everyone is welcome to stay on the island for a day, then Robinson comes back and doesn't want to ...

Perhaps my solipsistic thread is too solipsistic. No replies. *Despairs*

Perhaps I should also add: §5.61 Logic fills the world: the limits of the world are also its limits. We cannot therefore say in logic: This and this t...

I posted a half ass take on my reading of the self from the Tractatus below: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/2614/on-solipsism#Item_1

Here is a pretty strong case for at least presenting the truth of solipsism: Wittgenstein makes some very strong claims about the self. For example: 5...

OK, I'll see what I can do. It'll be a clutter of confusion though, which I try and avoid by professing quietism, heh.

I don't have the idea in front of me, or at least I can't express it better than simply referring to proposition 5.62 in the TLP.

Yes, but: The world is my world: this is manifest in the fact that the limits of language (of that language which alone I understand) mean the limits ...

Yes, but Wittgenstein did profess a solipsistic view of the self in the Tractatus. I never got the feeling that this was repudiated in his later works...

This would seem to imply that the mind is a solipsistic universe where these prelinguistic and private ideas or concepts form, and from there, their m...
