The fact is your realism view is a primal and primitive view driven by an evolutionary default, thus supported by the majority. It seems you are wrong on the grounds that too many people agree with you, Peter. :) The keen observer of KFC theory would note that this entails that Pete's KFC-bucket ha...

P1 If there are no moral facts, then we can have no lighthouse by which to steer. P2 We ought to have a lighthouse by which to steer. C Therefore, there are moral facts. Strawman, if you are referring to my argument. Here is my argument is full P1 If there are no moral facts, then we can have no li...

This shit doesn't even begin to resemble a philosophical argument, it reads like a poorly written political speach on behalf of some political party. You should delete it out of shame.

That's a good point. If you don't mind, I'll nick it and amend this section. That permission is always granted. Note also the bit where he wrote "Therefore moral objectivity is inherent critical for moral progress within humanity", demonstrating the logically invalid ought-to-is direction...

Reasons for moral objectivism I suggest that moral objectivism – belief that there are moral facts – has two main sources, as follows. Many or most of us care - even deeply - about our moral values, judgements and opinions. They form an important part of our lives and attitudes towards how we and o...

When I mocked him he put me straight on ignore, and he won't even acknowledge my existence any more. I can still mock him, of course, but it's just not as much fun without his angry response. :( I wonder why he hasn't done the same to you. He's called me evil and put me on his ultra-triple ignore p...

I explained my rationale twice now and you just ignored it.

On the topic at hand I might agree, what have you got to offer? That there's no real difference between religions. So you see no difference between Christ insisting Christians turn the other cheek and not seek revenge to Islam with Morhammad insisting followers kill disbelievers. (and shagging chil...

You two really bring out the best in each other. On the topic at hand I might agree, what have you got to offer? That there's no real difference between religions. That human nature will alsways result in a populace that will interpret scripture to suit their wider beliefs more than to shape them. ...

I have argued; There is an inherent "oughtness to breathe" within all humans; (Details of my argument is all over in this section of the forum) i.e. this oughtness is driven by a neural algorithm which is supported by physical neurons and neural network, thus biological. In parallel to th...

If you think that's stupid, you should check out the idiot who wrote this shit... My argument [non-syllogistic] is this; 1. What is objective is a resultant from a human-based FSERC [grounded on a collective of humans]. [argued elsewhere] 2. X is a confirmed scientific fact via the scientific FSERC,...

What would make his moral Philosophy deontological or not? Duties. The deon in deontology is Greek for duty, any moral theory that is centred on duties (imperatives, rules) is inherently deontological. Things change depending on what you are investigating. If you are placing Kant into the wider his...
