How? By assuming again that everything is sharable about respective schemas? I expect Terrapin to chime in and assert something about interpretations ...

Do you believe in the MW interpretation of I may be so bold?
November 11, 2019 at 03:40
Yes, I understand that; but, what are we to make of claims made in physics as counterfactual definitiveness? Don't they derive from Lewis' work on pos...

I'd like to resurrect this relatively old thread, given what is happening in Europe, France, The U.K., and such. It seems to me that there is no appar...

But, Wittgenstein postulated, that the majority of philosophy is language on holiday. We tend to find the answers we seek in a pragmatic method nowada...

Then your either a closet pragmatist or simply lost your way into this forum, I believe.

More of a Cynic as of late. It oscillates, a lot between the two. And, I have interacted with Massimo, on Facebook, good guy. Likes ducks a lot for so...

You don't see people talking in full sentences in every-day life. At least, here, there's a demand for rigour and logicality, which is good and all. O...

The reason I post this is that in as few words as possible, I think, that the Many Worlds Hypothesis renders Kripke semantics as redundant. No wavefun...

I get that some people might find him as a philosophical fanatic; but, he really changed the whole field of philosophy with not one but two works. Hav...

Hungry... Mmm, I am poor and enjoy the occasional goat pizza.
November 10, 2019 at 22:51
Yeah, I may have overestimated. But, some large percentage of communication is non-verbal, and that's something you could use as an argument for volit...

Yes, there are studies of mystical experiences while a person was undergoing an fMRI. Google it. Sounds like fun.

Well I'm bedridden today due to a cold or flu. So, it is wallowing all the way down and up.
November 10, 2019 at 21:03
I'm afraid of getting banned for wallowing too much.
November 10, 2019 at 20:44
Existential ones. Mainly ethical ones.
November 10, 2019 at 17:10
Sorry, I've been neglecting my own threads. I think, that the point here is that existence is problematic because of the things we normally associate ...
November 10, 2019 at 17:09
In regards to the underlined. Well, we can't really say there is a consensus on an issue that would leave nothing more to consent over?
November 10, 2019 at 16:16
One of the critiques of Platonic idealism that I haven't seen is what is sustaining these entities in some dimension? Is it their function or are they...

Hey Harry, Perhaps there is some disagreement here. What I meant by volitions and intent, was not separate from words, otherwise, it would rather lead...

No need to thank Wallows. It was only natural. Yes, dear Amity, it is very wallowsome. But, I find consolation in some threads hereabouts and the read...

Here's John Maynard Keynes, whom as a pseudo-economist I almost entirely adhere to: It was that kind of effect he had on people.
November 10, 2019 at 03:57
I don't know. It's something that deeply connected with me. I was going through a mental breakdown and was pulling on the carpet I was standing on. I ...

Thank you.

He makes Faust look like a peon.

No, it's his life that amazes me more than his philosophy...

Very wallowsome and struggling, but otherwise good.

Wittgenstein showed that philosophy, yes in it's entirety, consists in language on being on holiday. And that's it really. It supposedly ends in quiet...

I think Rogerian agreements are the most fruitful.

Profundity lays here.

I think he's busy trying to figure out the best angle of approach.
November 09, 2019 at 23:59
Nowadays even if I try it doesn't work itself out. Ok, that's a rarity for me.
November 09, 2019 at 23:48
Well, mention it to Terrapin Station that facts are mind-independent in logical space. His idealism fails for superfluous facts that only he perceives...
November 09, 2019 at 23:40
What about logical space, @"Banno"?
November 09, 2019 at 23:20
This is simply how Banno works.

We actually have a reading group here of his Tractatus and Investigations. Underappreciated content on this website.
November 09, 2019 at 22:16
I wish I could do that for you and for the field of philosophy. Give his Philosophical Investigations a try.
November 09, 2019 at 22:12
Probably in The Republic.
November 09, 2019 at 21:59
Have you read Wittgenstein by any chance, Forrest? He really expunged the futility in trying to create a methodology in philosophy.
November 09, 2019 at 21:57
There's nothing special about perceiving thing in a different way as long as you can compare the same object in question to other features in the worl...

Welcome. And idealism sounds about right here.
