Philosophically, I believe the view is as follows; Philosophical realism [PR] claim that things exist by themselves regardless of humans [subjects] i.e. mind-independent. The ANTI-PRs oppose above PR's claims is not tenable, rather they claim somehow things exist with an inevitable relation to huma...

We are subjects of in the sense that we can't extricate ourselves from our perceptions and experiences to stand outside of them entirely independent of them. To say that biology is everything is to elevate biology above all else and that is a second hand experience, not the way we experience life w...

Time is a measurement of change. Just as a ruler of a specific length measures the length of other objects by comparing the lengths, time is using a consistent, repetitive change, like the movement of the hour hand across the face of the clock or the revolution of the Earth around the Sun, to measu...

You state, "We are subjects yes, but also subjects of." Please explain subjects of, to what are we subjects? We are subjects of in the sense that we can't extricate ourselves from our perceptions and experiences to stand outside of them entirely independent of them. To say that biology is...

Experience is true to the biology experiencing the matter. If biology is dysfunctional in some way, the truth experience will be true to the dysfunctional biology for the truth to the individual is experience, while truth to the group is agreement.

Art and beauty does not exist. It is all in the eyes of the beholder. It's perception. Just because many people agree on the same perception, does not make it real. Just popular. It is quite true that things of this world just are, it is subjective consciousness that gives them values and meanings....

Are you suggesting that morality is subjective? And if so, what does subjective mean or why do you say it is subjective? Because all meanings belong to the conscious subject, biology is the measure and the meaning of all things. Meaning is what happens to one's biology and how outside forces/energi...

I agree that time doesn't cause change, rather change happens over time. However, it seems to me that things can also remain unchanged and there can still be time. Without perception, or a conscious subject there is nothing, there is no such thing as time. You can measure the revolutions of the ear...

Probably for the same reason everyone else who indulges in it does. If Spinoza had solved the problem, then it wouldn't still be a problem. It is not a problem if one has an ear to listen. There is only one logical answer to the thread topic, Your subjectivity should give a hint. This going on inde...

Because it's the same set of unsolvable arguments that has gone on since the beginning of large human settlements. It's never going to end until either we're all gone and unable to continue the argument, or else until everyone agrees to the same things. If any of this stuff was solvable, it would h...

Biology is the measure and the meaning of all things. Meaning is the sole property of the conscious subject and never the object. Morality only becomes objectified when a conscious subject decides to objectify his feelings and meanings relative to the world as object. This topic must have been adeq...

All organisms are reactive creatures and so react to the world around them, but there is no choice in that, that is what organisms do, it's called belonging to a greater reality as a functioning part, you are the world. It is debatable whether one can even choose one's focus of reaction but one thin...
