Re: Attention: a key to understanding consciousness?
Sentience, or knowledge of both internal and exterior existence, is the simplest definition of consciousness. Consciousness is "at once the most recognizable and [yet] the most inexplicable part of our life," despite millennia of analyses, definitions, explanations, and discussions by phil...

Re: Nothing to something must be possible
The whole known universe was formerly believed to fit within our Milky Way Galaxy. Our universe contains billions of galaxies now, and we can trace its development back to its earliest moments. The Big Bang, an explosion of space, marked the beginning of our cosmos. Space expanded, the cosmos cooled...

Learning a new language may lead to a wide range of interesting new experiences and possibilities, including opportunities to meet new people and learn about different cultures, advance your profession, and study and work overseas. But how do you pick which language to devote your time to learning w...

Re: Perception is Absolute
I have a similar view as well. In my opinion, Perception is underrated. Perception is of great epistemological importance. Originally we perceive the knowledge about the world using our five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell later it may be acquired through testimony. I think we don't ...

Re: Theists Equivocating the Empirical with the Transcendental
I have never seen anything that just existed without someone having to create it so how can this universe come into being without someone creating it. As long as science is concerned it has not reached a point where it can justify the existence of God along with many other questions. If you think a...

Re: Education
I had somewhat similar questions to Immanuel Can. I dont know what you are trying to say here but Aristotle viewed education e.g.: https://mytutorsource.com/blog/educational-quotes/ as “the creation of a sound mind in a sound body”. To him, the aim of education was the welfare of the individuals so ...

The singularity is the same as nothing since the entirety of existence requires no difference beyond it because any difference has to be a part of it. However, some individuals recognise that, despite our limited understanding, we can "comprehend" anything beyond speech. If you accept the ...

Re: Christianity
The British used to call themselves a Christian nation. There appears to be little consensus about where we are now. In today's jargon: Christianity is about more than just individual willpower. Christianity is more than just following moral standards. Christianity is about adhering to altruistic va...

Re: What is impression?
What exactly is the impression? It is impulsive rather than deliberate. This might be interpreted as a liberation from discursive thought and concept, that is, a drawn-out purpose of what something ought to be; freedom from imposing assessment standards, from criticism. An impression is simply a sna...
