I’m not really fond of judging #philosophers and #intellectuals of eons past by today’s #civilized #norms, but I make an exception when those thinkers make claims to absolute infallibility.

Surely somebody who had recalled the experiences of countless past lives would have the insight to understand that visualizing young girls as corpses is not really advisable. Not conducive to good innocent friendship with those young ladies nor for ones reputation generally speaking

The Ideal #Man According to 7 Different #Philosophers

I am wondering, fellow #philosophers, how I can reconcile #Berkleyan ideas - that nothing is real, because reality is in our minds - with the idea that there is potential consciesness in other animals and even plants.

So if intelligence and consciousness might be very widespread, how can it be just in our heads?

@thog I'll keep following you if you post about #Wondrak please 😅 one of the greatest #philosophers of our time :akko_fistup:

I started an account at BlueSky because so many other academic #philosophers had signed up, but there is even less activity than here.

I'm especially interested in #GreekPhilosophy but also #philosophyofmind and #metaphysics.

Any others out there?

The Truth Illusion | @aljazeera Investigations
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d0URbems8M&list=WL

‘The Truth Illusion’ investigates one of the most profound questions that #philosophers through the ages have tried to address. From #Plato to #ImmanuelKant to #GillesDeleuze, #thinkers have asked: what can we prove to be the truth?

The investigation examines these questions in the context of #UnitedStates today. Is it possible, in such a deeply divided society, for people to view different "realities"?

Why News Organizations Need Philosophers On The Payroll
Theodore McDarrah

"For #Heidegger, philosophers alone have the tools to deal with ambiguous, metaphysical questions, and #Carnap’s philosophy—anything that needs to be proven— “carries no intrinsic weight in itself.” In other words, verifiable statements should not be a concern to #philosophers."

Philosophers are trained to be critical and to read very critically. That's an important skill. But it has the foreseeable and negative side effect of making many of us tend to think everything we read is crap.
So #philosophers - what's a paper or book in #philosophy that you've read in the last 6 months that you thought was very good?

"Gradually, the blog began to get 10–20 visitors per day. Dead #philosophers do occasionally run internet searches for themselves. Then, in July 2021, something happened." #ChatGPT

#Goodmorning to all #thinkers, #philosophers, and #spiritual people! Due to rapid growth, you'll be seeing less posts on Mastodon from now on. It's getting a little too spammy. So, from now on, only articles chosen by the editing team will be ...tooted?... each day.

Hey #philosophers out there:

Since Bostrom's "we are most likely living in a #simulation because with good enough tech there are far more simulations than reality" argument and hullabaloo some years ago, have there been any further significant arguments in that direction?

Wikipedia only has some attempts at refutation of that argument. Or has simply nobody pursued this line of thinking in some significant way?
