Do you think that the Sun is moving around Earth or it is Earth that is rotating? — MoK
What do you mean by maybe here? — MoK
Doesn't Earth constantly move? — MoK
You cannot observe any motion because you are an observer that exists on Earth. Anyway, we were discussing a baseball that moves relative to Earth. — MoK
I said that baseball is on Earth, Earth is moving, therefore baseball is moving! — MoK
I am done with you. — MoK
I am not saying that they are the same things! — MoK
Baseball is on Earth, Earth is moving, therefore baseball is moving. Moreover, the particles that build baseball are in constant motion too. — MoK
Kant says, all principles need arguments and proof why they are principles. But I don't see any such thing here.Perhaps that is so. It isn't a theory since it does not seem testable. Call it a premise maybe.
SEP calls it a principle, top of section 1 of the 'existence' page. — noAxioms
How about "Existence is perceptible object in space and time"? This must be the defacto definition of existence.Could you define and list the types of existence?
I linked to exactly that in my prior post. See the (*). I called them E1-E6, with openness for more. — noAxioms
Can you prove that?The subconscious mind is always active and does not sleep! Dreams are created by the subconscious mind. — MoK
This is off-topic. This thread is not about Alzheimer folks. You can discuss this in the lounge mate.Now you are denying that memories are not stored in the brain! Did you know that people with Alzheimer cannot recall their memories because a part of their brain that holds memories is damaged? — MoK
Movements occur all the time and they don't need an observer. Knowledge of a movement however needs an observe. You are confusing these. — MoK
No, the movement does not need any observer at all. Where did you take that from? — MoK
When subconscious mind is sleeping all the time, how can it remember anything? Memory is not stored in anywhere. The content of memory is not cheese or bread or water. We just remember past events and objects, or we don't, if forgot. Memories are the types of ideas we recall from past. They don't get stored. Storage only makes sense for physical objects.how could the conscious mind access these memories without a constant flow of information from the subconscious mind? — MoK
See above.See above. — MoK
Perception is the mental presentation of reality. Calling perception as deception sounds like a typical vulgar or children's understanding.If what appears as a continuity is really a succession of distinct locations, then the senses are deceiving us. — Metaphysician Undercover
Ditto. :DThen it appears like you would say that perception is deception. — Metaphysician Undercover
Time doesn't exist until measured. Time doesn't exist in space and time. Objects and movements have nothing to do with time. Time emerges when objects and movements are perceived as a secondary quality. How and why should the ball exist everywhere all at once? That's not a philosophical reasoning.I don't understand this claim. How would the ball's existence at one location be distinguished from its existence at another location, other than on the basis of this being at two different times? Or would the ball just be everywhere all at once? — Metaphysician Undercover
I'm talking about the thing itself. The principle says that dragons cannot breathe fire if dragons are not real. — noAxioms
This produces the issue of whether our senses deceive us when we perceive motion as continuous. — Metaphysician Undercover
Yes. Quite different from an empty infinite space or a container of sorts.
Interestingly there is a modern quantum version of the World Soul. The idea is that the universe is quantum computer busy calculating its and our future — magritte
Strange, that nowhere I could find anyone describing it as principle, but there are many explications on EPP. It sounds like a theory or idea too.It's a principle, yes. It does have something to do with existence since it explicitly mentions 'existence', but without specification of what type is meant. — noAxioms
Could it mean that it covers all existence? Could you define and list the types of existence?but without specification of what type is meant. — noAxioms
Movement must be observed and determined from the geographical location or point of the object on the earth to the moved point of the object on the earth. The planetary motion of the earth is not relevant to the movement of objects on earth. So your understanding of movement is not correct.Yes, time passes always, even if baseball does not change, since many other things are subject to change. Moreover, the baseball is on a location on Earth, Earth is subject to motion, and therefore the baseball is subject to motion. — MoK
You need to read the baseball posting again, and think again.If baseball is subject to change then time is required to allow the change. Please reread my argument. — MoK
Ditto.It is required. Please reread my argument. — MoK
I would advise you reading K. Popper's books in full, if you are into science.
— Corvus
I don't think I need to read his book! — MoK
You are back to keep repeating "denying". I never said anything about denying.So are you denying that there are things like electrons, quarks, etc.? Are you denying that you have a brain? You don't have direct access to your brain either. — MoK
I was recommending you reading Popper, because you seem to think science knowledge is eternal.No, I think there are limits that each theory works well, so I don't think that we can replace the outdated theories since the outdated theories have their own use at the proper limits. — MoK
You brought Freud into the discussion suddenly, hence I was giving out my opinion on Freud.I am not defending Freud's theory of subconsciousness here. I just said that the term subconsciousness was first coined by him. — MoK
Subconscious mind is unverified esoteric idea, Hume wouldn't have had been interested in it, even if he was alive now.Anyway, I was pointing out that Hume was not aware of the subconscious mind at his time so he could not possibly have a correct theory of minds. — MoK
Subconscious mind cannot be verified, or used as basis for reasoning. It is just a postulated character of mind. It is hidden or sleeping most times, hence it cannot give you any knowledge on the world.I think that the subconscious mind is very smart. The current research indicates that the subconscious mind is smarter than what we think. You might find this article interesting. — MoK
The classic philosophy of mind doesn't include physical brain as its topic. It is more a topic for cognitive science, neurology or clinical psychology.That is a part of the philosophy of the mind. You cannot simply ignore it! Could you? — MoK
Have you read any Popper? Yes or No?
— Corvus
No. Why is it relevant to our discussion? — MoK
I said it to remind you keep saying it, not me.No, when did I say anything about denying? You keep saying it. :D
It is not habit. To say habit for clarification is a categorical mistake.
— Corvus
You said it here: — MoK
Popper said that all science gets outdated and replaced with the new theories all the time. If science cannot be proven false, then it is not science. It proves your point were all wrong so far.Have you read any Popper? Yes or No?
— Corvus
No. Why is it relevant to our discussion? — MoK
Freud's theory of sunconscious mind is subject to debates, because it is not something which can be proven objectively. If you think it is some holy grail principle of psychology, then you haven't read much psychology, it appears.It is not common sense knowledge at all and that is why you are wrong. We are only aware of the conscious mind's activities. The term the subconscious mind was first coined by Freud before that we didn't know anything about it. — MoK
Philosophy don't care about where the content of memory gets stored in brain. It just knows that we have memory, and memory is in the chain of many mental operations.Do you have access to your memory? The memories are stored in a part of the brain so-called synapses. Do you have direct access to synapses? If not how can you recall a memory? — MoK
Again, please read the top reply here.Yes, thinking also requires the subconscious mind. That is something that Hume was not aware of in his time! — MoK
So you are denying all the body of knowledge that was created by scientists! That is not a good habit since you are denying all the things that you are using daily as well! — MoK
It is a common sense knowledge. You don't need to study psychology to know that.Where did you get that from? Why don't you study psychology a little before commenting on the conscious and the subconscious mind? — MoK
The knowledge is kept in memory when asleep. When you awake from sleep, they can be accessed via reasoning. Conscious mind means that you are just awake. Dogs and cats are conscious, and some plants can be conscious, but they don't have knowledge because they are only conscious but nothing more.Where does all your knowledge reside when you are asleep? It cannot disappear into oblivion! How are you informed about a specific knowledge when you are awake? You are not aware of all your knowledge at once. Are you? — MoK
No. It sounds like you haven't read Hume. Read above. Thinking rationally requires more than being conscious.I think by perception Hume means the conscious mind. It is a very important part but it is not all things that define a person with the capacity to think rationally. — MoK
They are just theories and postulations from what they saw. They don't exist as entities.Electrons for example exist and move around the nucleus. They can be found free as well. Quarks exist within protons and neutrons. The conscious and subconscious minds refer to different parts of the brain. — MoK
Philosophy doesn't get outdated. We still go back to the ancient philosophy and the Renaissance times for referencing on what they said. Science outdates. Did you read Popper?Sure you are wrong. That is the reason that most of the outdated philosophers are wrong. — MoK
Philosophers read everything not just science.Philosophers need to read about science if they want to do good philosophy! — MoK
Problem with nonsense is that it doesn't know it is nonsense.It is not nonsense at all. It is nonsense to accept his outdated philosophy now. — MoK
The conscious mind means that you woke from sleep. Subconscious mind means that you have a part of mind which sleep all the time, but you think it doesn't.The subconscious mind does not sleep at all. That is the conscious mind that sleeps. — MoK
Perception only happens when you are fully awake and alert. All your knowledge on the universe comes via perception. Perception is also backed by reasoning and logic. Without perception, you don't have knowledge.Where is your perception when you are asleep? Why does your perception start to work when you are awake? How could you do reasoning if reasoning per se is a form of perception? — MoK
Science needs philosophy. Philosophy doesn't need science. No philosophers will go out in the white gown, and conduct experiments and tests and measurements. They just read, think and speculate for analysis and reasoning pursuing truths on the universe.You cannot do proper philosophy without a good science and vice versa! — MoK
Hume is one of the most important philosophers in western philosophy. To say Hume is false is like saying, philosophy is false and all knowledge is false. Nonsense.Hume was false. He was an intelligent philosopher though. I am sure he would deny his philosophy if he was alive now. — MoK
We know them, and use them. But to say they are real can be problem in logical sense. You need to make clear in what sense "real" is real. Philosophy doesn't deny them. But it is trying to make sure in what sense you are using the concepts, and whether they make sense when used in the arguments.So do you think that things like electrons, quarks, subconscious minds, conscious minds, etc. are real? — MoK
No. They are not in the same level. Philosophy inspects and analyze the misuses of the concepts and imaginary ideas of science, hence philosophy makes science more robust in logic and theory.Philosophy and science go hand in hand without science you cannot do good philosophy and vice versa. — MoK
Yes, they are concepts but these concepts are based on extensive study of the brain. Why do you stick to the idea of perception when I already refute it? Why don't you study a little psychology? It is necessary when it comes to time! — MoK
He couldn't possibly say a lot about them since there was no knowledge of them in his time. He was false! Therefore, you are false. — MoK
