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...

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 ...

Re: Christianity

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...
