Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
There you go again. [...] [...] Since you are participating in this forum, the expectation is on you to discuss or counter whatever is presented. If you don't want to, just shut up. Your hypocrisy is unmeasurable. While you gratify your delusions of grandeur by popping up degrading adjectives, you ...

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
You are merely babbling and making noises without reference to the details of the arguments. You are running out of argument to counter my views and address the challenge of the OP. Nah, there's simply no point in trying to present extensive arguments that you will avoid dealing with, while resorti...

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
I reference a link from nasa.gov and you claimed that is related to a 5 years old. In this case, that you’re using the same nasa.gov is also related to a 5 years old. Nope. Your cheapo straw man arguments will not convince a 2-year old. I didn't claim the link from NASA is related to a 5-year old. ...

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
You are missing my point. First why scientific knowledge is credible [...] [...] from the real test results by other scientists, communications and real documentation of consensus among the relevant parties [the scientists involved]. 1. What a pity that you have to come back and make all kinds of c...

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
The onus is on you [as a critical realist] to prove ‘objects-as-they-are’ are transferable or correspond to independent objects-qua-object. As a critical realist you are claiming there are objects-qua-objects that are really real [can be inferred] and existing independent of the human conditions. A...

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
I never assert that the confidence that Science is the most credible framework is based on pure faith. What I implied that your insistence that scientific facts represent what is real to you [as a critical realist] is based on pure faith, since you are not the one who is doing the experiments, test...

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
I never assert that Science itself is based on pure faith as you are accusing me of. My earlier point was, the lay-person accepts scientific facts based purely on faith [1] because he is not the one directly involved in performing the experiments to arrive at the conclusions. A naively ridiculous s...

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
Where did I assert the scientific framework is not credible. When you imply that scientific truths are a matter of faith, for all practical terms you have repudiated the value and credibility of scientific research. I have stated a "1000" times, the Scientific Framework is the most credib...

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
I highlighted the addition meanings and senses of 'absolute'. Thus to be more specific, the term absolutely absolute is not an issue. Note "relative" = considered in relation or in proportion to something else. So what is wrong relative-absolute where such an absolute is relative to somet...

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
Note the point bolded above definitely do not mean 'metaphysics is possible as a science'. Metaphysics is a very loose term and there is no way Metaphysics is possible as a science conventionally. Generally, in our modern time, it is a taboo to associate Metaphysics with Science. I have proven beyo...

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
Kant claimed Metaphysics... This matter about the relationship between Kant and metaphysics has already been settled. I have provided more than enough evidence to support my claim and you don't have anything to refute it. Now we are discussing metaphysics in contemporary philosophy. That Science is...

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
At present which philosopher or any group of philosophers agree that Metaphysics is possible as a Science in general? Since Quine revived metaphysics in analytic philosophy it has stayed firmly on the agenda. Metaphysics in Analytic Philosophy As the new millennium dawned, however, it was clear not...
