I am a great fan of Kant though I do not agree with Kant totally. Kant is one of the Greatest Western Philosopher of ALL Times; thus for one to be familiar with Kant thoroughly one will have a lot to gain [not necessary agree] philosophically from Kant's philosophy. One significant plus from Kant is...

Take a look at "infanticide" and "sacrifice". You area joke. Every thing you do not agree with is deranged; people who disagree with you not normal. You lack any trace of self criticism; and are master of self deception. Why the diversion? I have already given 'proof' to establi...

Every culture or group will have its own objectives but they are sub-objective to the generic objective of the human species. For example there is the main objective of the digestive and nutrition system which is generic to ALL humans. However different culture or group would have its sub-objective...

Absolutely nothing is provable scientifically?? You are so lost with reality. This is the 35th time that we discuss exactly this point. There is no scientific proof. This is basic scientific epistemology 101. Chapter 1. Paragraph 1. https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/philosophical-approach-to...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_realism I subscribe to mathematical realism but I have generally no opinion about the realism of abstractions other than the mathematical ones. It really depends on what it is about. As such the above can be studied within Physics and the other sciences; ...

What? I'm a pathological liar. And Kant's distinction between noumena and phenomena is 'entirely consistent with both modern science and modern psychology'. And I don't want to admit that I exist. Wtf are you talking about? Frankly, if this is what you've got, do one. Not interested. Still more of ...

Claim: If there were no humans, there would have been and be no universe. Nonsense. Strawman as usual. You should counter my full argument instead of merely the conclusion. You are relying on your premise which is illusory to distort my b]human-based FSERC[/b] premises. My argument proper is this; ...

Yes. And is that the ONLY basis of your moral objectivism? :D :D :D :D Yes??? tortured and killed for pleasure?? show me the links to the evidence. Even if there is, normal human sense will indicate that is due to a perversion. Take a look at "infanticide" and "sacrifice". You a...

From a physicalist perspective, even abstract concepts such as mathematics, morality, consciousness, intentionality, and meaning are considered physical entities, although they may consist of a large ontological object and a causally complex structure. Outside of philosophy, physicalism can also re...

I agree with the above except: I define morality as the management of evil to enable the emergence of the related good. What is evil is related to anything that has potentiality of fatality and is net-negative to the well-being and flourishing of the individuals and that of humanity. Objectively sp...

Kant: It is Impossible to Prove God Exists as Real Religion: It is Impossible to Prove that God Exists as a physical object (because God isn't one). Materialism is a form of philosophical monism which holds that matter is the fundamental substance in nature, and that all things, including mental st...

Conclusion: Everything is necessarily true. (□True(x)) That is the principle of explosion. It points to a contradiction in the premises. You seem to claim that just because higher-order modal logic is used it must be absolutely authoritative with a sound conclusion. It is preferable not to use exte...

Claim: If there were no humans, there would have been and be no universe. Reason: This is because the universe is somehow entangled with humans. Utter claptrap. The universe, which includes humans, is not an illusion. Strawman again - the 'millionth' time. You did not read my point, i.e.?? VA: In s...

Things are not objective or subjective in and of themselves. Subjectiity and objectivity refer to a RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN two things. Between the percieved and the perceiver. Your view is so empty: Something is objective if it can be confirmed independently of a mind. If a claim is true even when co...

These Platonic abstractions are not the physical universe. For example, the standard natural numbers can somewhat be mapped to the physical universe, but nonstandard numbers cannot. If you map the standard natural numbers to the physical universe, then you must map the nonstandard numbers to nonsta...
