Re: Circularity is bad??
Discuss? Views? That there is circularity in human nature is clear. I think the question, in this context, is whether the fact that it occurs in the various areas listed by good-old Chatgpt justifies the use of circularlity in arguments. And then in any specific argument. My suggestion to make the ...

Re: Morality - where does it come from?
Compare that with the idea that "morality is a naturally evolved behavior". What's the problem with that? The problem is that a naturally evolved behavior is not necessarily the right behavior. It reinforces the idea that what is right and what is wrong is what you instinctively or natura...

Circularity is bad??
Circular is bad. Stop it. Those with dogmatic thinking will insist circularity is bad, period; whenever or wherever they smell 'circularity' it will trigger a frenzy of taboo in them leading them to a barrage of condemnations of what they sensed as a 'circularity'. What is bad about circularity is ...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
To say that John raped Jane, one must *already have judged John's activity wrongful (otherwise he simply had sex with Jane) A person, any person, every person knows his life, liberty, and property are his and no other's. If this is true for him, then it's true for all other persons. This means it's...

Re: PH's Own Internal Standards as Moral Facts
Okay. The opinion that "rape is morally wrong" is better than "rape is morally acceptable", is definitely more popular than it's opposite. And obviously partisans can cherry-pick this or that "reason" to support their opinion/conclusion. However, the fact that a set of...

Re: The Objective Realm
1. Morality isn't objective, since we all choose our own personal blend of criteria to determine our moral code. The general understanding is 'Morality is not Objective'. However based on my definition of what is objectivity as conditioned upon a human FSK, morality is objective but the question to...

Re: The Objective Realm
Kind of, I believe Kant got closest to "mind-independent objectivism" when it came to his proposed philosophical ' Metaphysics '. I think it has to do with a priori knowledge of mathematical concepts. It has to do with very, very powerful intellect. Access to "outer realms", no ...

Re: Kant: Absurd -Appearance without anything that Appears
I still think it's a nice tag team approach. Honor and glory to those who participate in the ancient tradition of ceremonious VA bashing.

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
Of course. Any moral assertion has 'in/my opinion' has a prefix. It's precisely the denial that that's the case that undergirds moral objectivism. "It's just a fact that homosexuality/abortion/capital punishment/eating animals/X is morally right/wrong'. Anyone who says/thinks it's a fact that ...
