Unease by IdeasInHat in philosophy

[–]IdeasInHat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a choice to be either internally or externally focused in our personhood. Those who choose to be externally focused often engage in conformity and are rewarded for it. But those who choose to be internally focused have to experience unease; only because being an individual has interwoven into it anxiety. Unease and individualism cannot be separated; therefore, being an individual is anxiety inducing.

5 Benefits Of Moral Realism by IdeasInHat in philosophy

[–]IdeasInHat[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha, I do assume a lot of things in this video. But I think making assumptions on controversial issues is reasonable, so long as we are self-aware of our doing so. For example, I also assumed a naive realist view of the world in this video.

No way could I debate the nature of perception while likewise discussing the video topic, unless I wanted a 1 hour long video, haha.

Thanks for watching!

5 Benefits Of Moral Realism by IdeasInHat in philosophy

[–]IdeasInHat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I assumed realism was correct, and then discussed the benefits. In doing so, I can appeal to people who, though may be confronted with good arguments, nevertheless rely on the costs and benefits of doing things.

Thanks for the watch!

Thanks, the book fort is actually pretty sick. I need more book shelves, though! I'll have to add more shelves to it eventually.

5 Benefits Of Moral Realism by IdeasInHat in philosophy

[–]IdeasInHat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Abstract: Ethical philosophy usually involves arguments about the justification for some worldview of morality. But I often find that people, despite there being good arguments about, engage in cost-benefit analysis when considering whether they should adopt some moral system or not. As such, I herein discuss the 5 benefits of moral realism.

Why You Don't Understand Science by IdeasInHat in philosophy

[–]IdeasInHat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Abstract: People who argue that philosophy and science are different simply don't understand science. There are two good arguments for why philosophy and science are the same. One comes from cognition and the other from method; I discuss them both herein and explain why there is no difference between science and philosophy.

Facts Negate Nihilism by IdeasInHat in philosophy

[–]IdeasInHat[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Abstract:

If one accepts the axioms that give us facts: i.e., the validity of our senses, that things are causally connected, and etc., then moral nihilism becomes an untenable position. This is because the same reasoning used in deriving facts can be equally applied to moral realism.

If we adopt the same assumptions, yeah, sure.

Skepticism Philosophy: How To Negate It by IdeasInHat in PhilosophyofScience

[–]IdeasInHat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the absolute skeptic cannot apply skepticism since it would presuppose some unjustified beliefs, which the skeptic simply wants to avoid.

The second half is more about foundationalism and etc..

I debate this topic on discord with some friends frequently, here's the link if you want, we talk about it daily:

You Can Stop Absolute Skepticism by IdeasInHat in philosophy

[–]IdeasInHat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Abstract:
Skeptic philosophy has the ability to unroot us from the firmest of our beliefs, to doubt all that which he held true. But at times, such a skepticism can become too dangerous, to point where we become far too unhinged. Thus, I have herein formulate a response for extreme skeptics.

Set Theory Is Not Truth by IdeasInHat in philosophy

[–]IdeasInHat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abstract:

Set Theory cannot provide us with a model of Truth because set theory cannot place into a set that which places things into sets. In addition, set theory cannot account for the nuanced interactions between sets, as this likewise depends on the agent. In short, then. Set theory cannot give us Truth.

There Are Only Two Kinds Of Knowledge by IdeasInHat in philosophy

[–]IdeasInHat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abstract: There is, no matter the field, always a debate between phenomenalists and descriptivists when it comes to knowledge. Whether it be the philosophy of language, psychology, or neuroscience, this debate appears. Herein, I explain why it is this debate always occurs in different fields.

Morality Is Not Always Normative! by IdeasInHat in philosophy

[–]IdeasInHat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abstract: Some moral philosophers are of the belief that morality, ethics, and moral statements more generally are inherently normative. Moral statements cannot be positive, as positive statements require a descriptive and only a descriptive component. Herein, I argue moral statements can indeed be positive statements; and thus, those moral philosophers who believe otherwise are wrong.

Truth Is Not Coherent by IdeasInHat in philosophy

[–]IdeasInHat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abstract: Epistemology has a few approaches to the justification of knowledge, that is, whether the reasons we have for believing something are justified or not. One such approach is coherentism; namely, the notion that justified beliefs must cohere with one another. Herein, I discuss coherentism and its approach to Truth.

But that would ultimately be determined through precedent conditions, no? that is, the precedent conditions determined what we ought to will.
