I don't think philosophy is all about juggling with definitions.
But what will be found is when you come to an agreement about the definitions of words, and do get it Right, then there is, literally, nothing at all to 'debate' anyway.Zarathustra wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 4:40 pm OK. definitions are important. It saves a lot of confusion if you get it right, and also agree with others in debates.Yes we can. All the True, Right, Accurate, and Correct answers in Life can be found, through logically reasoned, peaceful discussions.Zarathustra wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 4:40 pm But it is not all there is to it.
What I was after from this thread was seeing some lights in the arguments such as, when the livings like us who has never experienced death directly in our own life, can discuss the topic like this in any logical and meaningful manner, and in metaphysical sense.But what is there about 'death' that you still do not yet understand?Zarathustra wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 4:40 pm Or would it be the case of blind people describing the nature of elephant, after touching one elephant's leg.
If you let us know that, then we can fill you in with the Right answers.
Also, I suggest LOOKING AT the whole elephant, and not just one leg, that is; if you Truly do want to SEE the whole, picture. And, by the way, physical blindness has absolutely no affect on this at all.
What is it about death that YOU don't understand?
If it is 'me', then there is nothing in regards to what is it about death that I do NOT understand.
And, there is ONLY One Mind, of which I agree that ALL of 'you', human beings, do dwell within, as you have already acknowledged.
