My earlier list was a quickie job, here is the revised listing; FFS, what is it with you and posting all the same shit over and over again? Nice try, but still a fail. 13. Are Queer - mythical <--- complete bullshit. That's not what queer means at all, and the argument from queerness is not non-con...

As gleaned from my research, Moral NonCognitivism has the following features: Moral Sentences - moral judgments Non-Cognitivism in General 1. Cannot be Propositions 2. Cannot be True nor False 3. Not truth apt 4. Not fact, not state-of-affairs 4i ....... 5. Not objectively true 6. Prescriptive not ...

How much longer are you going to rattle on about your silly syllogism? :) You can do the syllogism any time, it's a piece of piss. P1: Ice cream is delicious. P2: If ice cream is delicious, then eating ice cream with a spoon is delicious. C: Therefore, eating ice cream with a spoon is delicious. Su...

No, we cannot. Because the second statement is about whether or not you do something, and the second is whether or not you get somebody else (i.e. your brother) to do the same action. One is about you killing, the other about you inducing people to kill. So without that bridging premise, the conclu...

Oh my, you weren't kidding. You've misunderstood. Under a non-cog description, you still get to use all the moral words you are used to using, none of that goes away at all. And you are still expressing approval, and disapproval exactly as before. But it's not considered cognisable, which means tha...

I really don't get it. When the premise of moral non-cognitivism is that we aren't expressing moral stuff because there's no such thing, then of course we also won't express moral stuff after a syllogism. We weren't anywhere morally before, and we aren't anywhere morally after. Oh my, you weren't k...

No, we make a howling sound. So if I get my brother to kill, I once again make a howling sound. Yeah, that's just weird and nothing to do with the point I'm afraid. You aren't even bothering to express a disapproval so there is nowhere to go with this. Disapproval about what? Go where? I don't unde...

We came so close to some philosophy happening here.

Why can't we cognize that whenever we hear of killing, we say BOO? Isn't "IF" a non-moral cognition, so it goes? Now you're confusing me. When you say "whenever we hear of killing, we say BOO" are you talking about Boo as some sort of name for killing? No, we make a howling soun...

That would only be true if you agree that all morality is nothing but pure fiction. If you think that morality is any kind of real thing...that is, that you can talk meaningfully about it at all, then you've got to do the syllogism. So let's see it. Please, I'm begging you now, please just watch th...

Now I'm slightly curious, aside from non-cognitivism (whatever the hell that even means, I'm definitely not one of those), what's the issue with moral syllogisms? I saw this one: P1: Killing is wrong. P2: If killing is wrong, then getting your little brother to kill is wrong. C: Therefore, getting ...

It is absolutlely only a problem for non-cognitivism which I have already explained for you several times. That would only be true if you agree that all morality is nothing but pure fiction. If you think that morality is any kind of real thing...that is, that you can talk meaningfully about it at a...
