Philosophy Now Forum

Okay, I finally read your article complete agree with the general description of Kuhn. But... ...This demanded that anything that could not be supported by empirical evidence or strict logic was metaphysics and had no place in science (or indeed, anywhere else). One major problem – which in fairness...

Before y'all folks jump all over me: I meant to say that science never explains the "why". It explains the "how". I always found the concern of the difference of the 'how' versus 'why' odd. Well, this thread was originally about me writing an article for Philosophy Now. The OP was written over a ye...

Which moron are you referring to? If me, can you rephrase and expand on whatever you mean here? No. I was referring to Daschund. I was actually agreeing with you. Let me get this right...You are telling me that the Founding Fathers of America (i.e; America, the Constitutional Republic), that the so...

"The language needs to be reworded to reflect the INTENTIONAL meaning of the problem: immigration, NOT the immigrant." No, my language is clear as is: the problem is the illegal immigrant, first and foremost. Okay. This is already agreed to by all, though. What the people who support immigrants hav...

Not 'Christian' you moron--secular. The kristian fanaticism came long after.

Which moron are you referring to? If me, can you rephrase and expand on whatever you mean here?

"Why would people actually interpret themselves as 'deserving' in the way you present this though? I mean this CAN be an incidental feeling but not something that one would reflect upon themselves but rather an interpretation from those outside looking in?" A great many of the folks storming the so...

America, that is, the white/European Western society that was created by the Founding Fathers in the late 18th century, as a free- market, Christian, (Classical) Liberal democratic, Constitutional Republic is doomed. The Four Horsemen of her Apocalypse have arrived. In what follows I will tell you ...

Given St. Augustine is long dead and NOT the one on this social media platform, I question whether the censorship was about St Augustine or to the person's own words apart from that quote. I don't believe in censorship but to state this odd claim that can't be confirmed (for being censored out) and ...

N.B.: By the way, does anyone else here not feel ripped off when discovering a documentary on Stephen Hawking that you think if about his actual scientific input only to discover it is about his life story regarding his disabilities? He at least had a series he had done before he passed away that wa...

Before y'all folks jump all over me: I meant to say that science never explains the "why". It explains the "how". That's what I meant by saying "science does not explain anything." Well, "why" is ultimately philosophy. Here's a paragraph from a draft of the article: Some physicists take a very dim ...

You're argument is good, but the current situation is more like... Sam does well. In his neighborhood, he's probably doin' better than almost everyone. Now, Sam, like any complex personality, has his flaws: he gets pushy from time to time, sticks his nose in where he shouldn't sometimes, but he's a...

...he, like a great many Americans, is anti-illegal immigration, anti-illegal immigrant. All Trump, and great many Americans, want is for folks to come to the front door and knock. Also: we'd like it if folks who wanna come 'here' stopped actin' as though their desire to be 'here' some how obligate...

I was responding to something from another thread but thought this deserves its own thread. This topic is about why I actually agree to some of Trump's convictions on immigration even though I am left of center: So don't you think its about time you abandoned, -and then got down on your knees and hu...

Dachshund, I'm not with the average person here on depth. I approve of it and prefer to see more rather than less depth. So thanks first for the response. I must first point out that I'm Canadian but have also American experience early on in life. I don't approve of a lot of the way of the philosoph...

When a plane crashes and everyone survives, we are told its a 'miracle' that no one died. When a plane crashes and all but five people survive, it is a considered a 'miracle' that all the other people survived. When a plane crashes into a parking lot and kills all on the plane plus ten on the ground...
