Very clever. I think that the idea is that God-belief is supposed to be for our benefit, not God's (obviously). The idea is that God-belief...
Yes, but you're forgetting the "without logically satisfactory evidence" condition. Now, what exactly Huxley means by that is not clear. But if...
I'm going to take this opportunity to reply to some posts that I, rudely, did not have a chance to reply to, because of a lack of time. 3DJay...
Well, that doesn't seem right. For example, it seems to me that a system can retain organization without being conscious, and consciousness is...
That would take a doctoral thesis. What you're asking of me isn't reasonable. All I'm asking you to do is clarify a few points you made on...
No, the truth-value is not "unknowable." It just happens to be very hard to verify. A proposition is a posteriori only if it could possibly be...
I don't see how. While I can understand how the existence might entail that we are judged in the afterlife, I do not see how that follows from,...
The first part is right, but "My Uncle Willy in Germany now has his wallet in his pocket," if true, is true a posteriori, not a priori. A...
Frankly, I can't make heads or tails of what you're saying. For example, Take the proposition "There is a solid, gold sphere in some distant...
Well, that's why it's the critique of pure reason. Kant doesn't say that pure reason is impossible, exactly, just that it can only take you so...
I still don't understand why you're talking about magic. ... I'm not familiar with the story of the snark hunt. But I do know that Lewis Carroll...
The problem that faces us is "How are colour judgments possible?" We want to know what concepts and intuitions are requisite, in order to make...
You can't abstract from shades of ultraviolet because you can't see shades of ultraviolet. We're talking about colour judgments, concerning the...
Your empiricist hypothesis is reasonable, but I think that it fails for a few reasons. Even if I have never seen a certain shade of red, I can...
I typically hate thread bumping, but this problem is very important to me. I'm also going to make some clarificatory remarks on my last post and...
Thamnax, I would recommend that you read the "Transcendental Aesthetic" in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Kant asserts exactly what you do,...
Huh?
I've been doing some work in aesthetics and philosophy of perception lately. So far, I've only been concerned with elementary synthetic a priori...
My point was that the agnostic theist falls into the latter category. The former is the category into which atheists and agnostic atheists fall....
Well yes, that is a justification. Specifically, it is a justification by induction. Perhaps a better justification would be to look at the other...
Separate names with a comma.
