What is the moral principle that enables you to derive the right action in any instance? Btw, morality-proper is not about deciding what is morally right before taking the actions. One can deliberate what right action to take, but that is not morality-proper. Morality-proper is about developing one...

No, I don't at all think that this implies a lack of credibility. If we're talking about stuff that only exists as personal opinions, beliefs, feelings, etc. then that's no knock against that stuff. That's simply a fact about it. It's the nature of the stuff in question. Whatever are personal opini...

Lately there were controversies on whether the mind is physical or not. What is Mind? The mind is the set of faculties including cognitive aspects such as consciousness, imagination, perception, thinking, intelligence, judgement, language and memory, as well as noncognitive aspects such as emotion a...

What empirical evidence do you have for the existence of any so-called non-physical or abstract thing? You missed my point from the above, i.e.; The embodied mind thesis challenges other theories, such as cognitivism, computationalism, and Cartesian dualism .[1][2] It is closely related to the exte...

This is not a practical answer. No one could take this answer and understand where your all encompassing moral algorithm stood on this matter. It looks like your moral system is not fit for purpose. Why not practical? It is a fact there are no more Samurai Bushido in modern Japan. The tradition som...

There you go again, merely brushing off without justification which exposes your low intellectual integrity.

Obviously, so?

You're still not even understanding what the issue is. The issue is that if we have a fact, such as "Joe shot Pete and killed him," that fact does not imply any normative or moral maxim/edict/whatever you want to call it. Address to me? You are still not even understanding my perspective to the mor...

Different term - 'moral drive' - same old claptrap. Factual premise: all normal humans have a moral drive to do X (behave in certain ways). Moral conclusions: humans ought to do X; X is morally right. Analogous fallacy: Factual premise: all normal humans have a sex drive. Moral conclusion: humans o...

A simple point is a thing in itself. The simple point is there is no a point-in-itself. The point is there is no thing-in-itself that exists absolutely independent from the human conditions. As such, the extreme contention is, there are no pre-existing moon, sun or stars before there were humans. T...

Wow, this is actually very interesting to me. So you "reify" other people that appear mentally to you because it causes you literal pain if you don't do that? Where did I say that?? Note this just in case you are not familiar with it [Bundle Theory], which is relevant to support the theory there is...

Here is a point where Wittgenstein understood Kant CI as not generating rules and duties that are to be imposed on individuals. With this view clearly stated, Wisnewski invites us to rethink the history of ethics. He offers us insightful readings of Kant's and Mill's moral philosophies. He argues th...

Point is Kant's Categorical Imperative No. 1 "Act only .." sounds/reads as if it is a 'rule' to be imposed on the individuals. But Kant's Categorical Imperatives are to be used as merely moral standards and guides within a moral FSK for the purpose of driving moral progress. If Wittgenstein's 'rule'...

No a thing in itself is that which repeats as a point of change to some other phenomenon. Your above are merely words and statements. Prove your thing-in-itself exists as real? A simple point is a thing in itself. The simple point is there is no a point-in-itself. The point is there is no thing-in-...
