How to sharpen up VA's argument? Premise: We humans have to perceive, know and describe reality in human ways. (Note: This sentence is a description of a feature of reality, or a state-of-affairs. And it has a truth-value.) Conclusion: Therefore, reality is nothing more than the ways we humans perc...

Here is why Anti-Philosophical Realism is more Pragmatic: -where reality as all-there-is is viewed as somehow related to the human conditions it enable to possibility and opportunity to control certain aspects of reality and the individual themselves from being at the mercy of an independent reality...

I think I've been trying to address VA's actual argument, concentrating on his main premise: reality is nothing more than a product of an 'evolved, fundamental framework and system of reality and cognition' (EFFSRC) - and so dependent in some way on us humans. Rather than a product which can be mis...

History keeps repeating itself. None of this is new: Did your God bring some sort Godel's Mathematical Argument in his holy texts to prove Himself exists as real? What your holy book refers to as proofs of God are merely 'signs'. These signs are pseudoscience. There are loads of exposures out there...

A counter example is fundamentally a philosophical element. No, it is an experimental test result. It comes out of a laboratory. What is crucial with philosophy is the use of critical thinking to assess where mathematics stands. The term "critical thinking" is mostly used as an intellectu...

History keeps repeating itself. None of this is new: Say, “Indeed, I bring a flawless proof from my Lord—yet you have denied it. I do not have that for which you are impatient. The decision can only be made by Allah. He relates the truth, and He is the best of judges." Did your God bring some ...

Philosophy overrides Science and Mathematics You wish! Philosophy can never overrule mathematically unobjectionable proof. Philosophy can never overrule experimental test results. Only a counterexample test result can achieve that. https://forum.philosophynow.org/viewtopic.php?p=707228#p707228

It is a tragic shame that you cannot apply this insight to your posts on "objective morality", since you seem to be using the "geometric method" to impose your own will upon the moral landscape yet can have not objective justification for doing so. Don't be too hasty. I am not w...

[Logic and mathematics are merely useful tool to facilitate science and other fields of knowledge. Mathematics has numerous downstream users but facilitating their work is not the goal of mathematics. It is merely a side effect of doing it right. The goal of mathematics is to discover the structure...

In addition of my critique of the failure of Godel's argument, here is one with reference to Kant: No, Kant is out of the game now. His arguments can no longer participate because they are not specifically directed at Gödel's axioms. Furthermore, Kant's main argument, i.e. the purported undefinabil...

Most philosophers accept the Godel's Ontological Argument is Unsuccessful; The Godel ontological argument has garnered quite a bit of attention in the last fifty years. In most cases, philosophers have agreed that the argument is unsuccessful but have disagreed vigorously over where exactly the fat...
