Nearly 500 pages of this deep philosophical substantive thread. Hey, instead of discussing like a Ping-Pong game, we should discuss why this was never...
Why we should know anyway? objective exists both separately and independently from us. It doesn't matter if we "know" or "are aware" if it does exist ...
Exactly. No, I use them as different terms as clearly. On one hand, we have "being" that needs a precise definition of its concept. Every object is a ...
I didn't know that definition of Aquinas. I personally think that it is simplistic and drives us to reductionism. I would understand it in a theologic...
Wow! Thanks for sharing, Gnomon. That’s the definition of objective and subjective I urgently need. I am currently having a debate on this matter with...
I don't know if it is a platonic form of definition. But I would define truth as "the reality itself when it is perceived objectively". Exactly. What ...
Empiricists cut through the issue by reducing the objects of perception to the perceptions themselves. This would make it difficult to define what a h...
I like the reply of @"Philosophim". It is very clear. On the other hand, I respect your point that the problem of philosophy nowadays is giving defini...
Hello Bob Ross! I cannot say that truth is subjective either. But you claimed that reality is mind-dependent and thus, there can be no asserted being ...
Well, you are referring to your own criteria. You can't really know what the mind of the rest is or what they are attracted by. I simply do not unders...
I understand. The participation of many users in a single thread can be chaotic but the line of importance/attraction is blurred in these cases. Maybe...
I agree. But here we end up in the same dilemma. If one thread doesn't get one or five replies at least, it will not be considered as "interesting" or...
I know that some of you don't act in the way I refer to in my arguments. But you are just a few. What I tend to argue is some facts about why some dis...
I am curious about this fact. I think there could be two groups of members: one group where the people don't take part in discussions because they don...
I agree that activity is not necessarily connected with the importance of a thread, but when any of them doesn't get any reply at all, it seems that i...
Interesting thought. You are right in this point. But I think it is complex to apply it on this site where the activity depends on the number of repli...
Yes, I am aware that it is not a "thread" at all, because it is posted in "article submissions" with the aim of having some exchanges and maybe not a ...
What a good thread, Alkis! I do not understand why you didn't have any reply at all. You explained pretty well what each thread should have. I wish ea...
Well, it is a big debate on what we consider "quality" on this site when the subjective interferes and depends (a lot) on who is the author of each th...
Interesting! I am going to use your wisdom from now on. Again, I appreciate all this information which helps me out. I agree! This is why I find this ...
Well, I don't see any, but I presume Jack is there, but the toy hasn't popped up yet. Having a picture of the toy can explain why I can only imagine "...
Thanks :up: I appreciate your comment and support. By the way, coming back to the original post and focusing on your analysis. I. It's interesting how...
You can even remove it if you want. But please do not be a hypocrite regarding what OP deserves more respect than other. At least we are not debating ...
Oh! in each object, yes. You are referring to a scenario where there are multiple objects: twenty boxes and then twenty Jacks. I understand your point...
But how can we know that? I thought this word is tricky because of its plural conjugation precisely. Either you can pluralize Jack or pluralize box, I...
OK. This is so interesting. Clarky is American, and sir2u is British. Yet, you both have interpreted the same regarding that there could be more than ...
I agree with you. When I was reading the paper by Steven Pinker, I had some difficulties with the pronunciation, and my tongue suffered instead of bei...
I like your comments and you contribute with good arguments. They make me think for a while, indeed. I was just debating with you, that's the nature o...
What is the main difference? You can seek for mercy in both controlled way and free will. I would include redemption in our acts. But a Christian (or ...
The relationship is contradictory because religion seeks purity while sex is, somehow, related to "corruption" of the bodies. With the aim of reaching...
Exactly. There is not a competition, and the activity is there to improve our creativity skills. I think it is worthy to take part in the entries. Thi...
