Kant's use of the antinomies was to demonstrate that we do not know such things -- we can rationally argue for both the assertion and the negation, and both will appeal to reason, and they can be put side-by-side and end up in contradiction. For Kant this shows a limitation on reason's ability to answer some questions. — Moliere

I rather think contradiction is certainly a necessary part of logic. Or, maybe, if not a necessary part, then at least the fundamental ground for the validity of logical constructs [reason] . — Mww

Kant's great idea: that science is the science of appearances, and that appearance always entails the subject for whom it is appearance. — Wayfarer

And while it is fashionably modern to be dismissive of many of his [Kant's] ideas, at close look, they still hold! — tim wood

As death is inevitable, one of the main questions any person can ask themselves is what awaits us when we die. — Zebeden

when you are dead, there is no longer a "you". — Banno

when you are out of the game nothing will disturb you because there will be no 'you' to be disturbed. — Janus

What bothers me, though, is that there is no reason to believe that consciousness cannot reoccur again. — Zebeden

If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present. — Ludwig Wittgenstein

It is a fact that the United States of America is not in the Bible. — Arcane Sandwich

Philosophy can be a dangerous mind game at times and injuries do occur. — boethius

The point is not necessarily to seek a greater, cosmic purpose, but to improve the quality of life for ourselves and others, fostering a world where suffering is alleviated and wellness maximised. In this sense, you might say that improving the world becomes its own form of meaning; rooted in the tangible, real-world consequences of our choices and actions. — Tom Storm

What can I be absolutely certain about? — Kranky

theism is false — MoK

consciousness collapses the wave function — Gregory

Why do you say "usually"? Just curious — Gregory

What is faith? — Gregory

... beliefs cannot be verified by the faith or intuition. And note, this is not to say that the faith or intution cannot be convincing to the one inhabiting it, it is just to say that it cannot provide sufficient grounds for an argument intended to convince others. — Janus

Ye pull back the curtain and there'll be either a person or a statue. Some prefer to expect a guy, some stone — Gregory

In Sam Harris’ The Moral Landscape he uses health as an example of something that may not have an objective definition but can still be rationally discussed and meaningful statements made about it. — Captain Homicide

"faith" (i.e. unconditional trust in / hope for (ergo worship of) unseen, magical agency) — 180 Proof

As an atheist, I would say I have heard no reasons to suggest that god is a useful concept. It seems incoherent and does not assist my sense making activities. — Tom Storm

Some atheists think they "know" there is no God. I'm not one of those.

So those with the greatest faith would be the ones convinced by logical arguments that god does not exist, and yet who believe despite this. — Banno

The most faithful will be seeking to disprove that god exists.

One can review what one takes as granted, but to review what one takes on faith is to breech that faith. — Banno

What we refer to as objects are really repeating patterns of events. For people used to thinking of the world as permanent objects with inherent properties the process way of thinking takes some adjustment and getting used to. Objects are repeating patterns of events and properties are relationships between these events. There are no fixed objects with independent properties. Everything that exists is in the process of becoming (not being, there is no static being) and everything depends on its relationships to the rest of reality (no independent objects with inherent properties). — prothero

Atoms are mostly empty "space" and subatomic particles can display both properties of "waves" and "particles". These are really just fluctuations or standing waves in quantum field theory. The distinction between matter and energy is somewhat artificial.

Faith in God requires belief without reason-based thought.

Faith in God requires belief without reason-based thought.
— DifferentiatingEgg — T Clark

I firmly believe more than one mind can occupy a body... — DifferentiatingEgg

I don't like Anselm's and Aquinas' and Descartes' or any arguments purporting to demonstrate the existence of God. They can be shown invalid and/or unsound. — Fire Ologist

And we need to have faith in our senses to navigate crossing the street, and faith in our logic to navigate a conversation.

Therefore using reason-based thought for God is necessarily a showing of a lack of faith in God. — DifferentiatingEgg

Without faith, we go nowhere, and without reason, we cannot find the way! — MoK

20th century cosmology has found evidence that space-time had an inexplicable beginning point. — Gnomon

↪180 Proof tell me how. — Benkei

As I understand it, ↪180 Proof's worldview — Gnomon

In my Epicurean-Spinozist (i.e. p-naturalist¹) terms [ ... ] — 180 Proof

A fulfilling life consists of purposeful, positive and pleasant participation in life. — Truth Seeker

Husserl himself in "The Origin of Geometry" gives us the tools to get out of the enclosure when he speaks of ideality as something constituted by repetition and reactivation through tradition. This repetition, however, cannot occur by means of an epoché. We interact with things in a theoretical way but without the need to leave the natural attitude. — JuanZu

Perhaps you did not like that i used the word "idealism"? — punos

Russell portrayed he of the moustache as [ ... ] — Banno

Nietzsche remains the [twilight] idol of post-pubescent males. Someone to consider and grow beyond.

Now I go alone, my disciples, You too, go now alone. Thus I want it. Go away from me and resist Zarathustra! And even better: be ashamed of him! Perhaps he deceived you… One pays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil. And why do you not want to pluck at my wreath? You revere me; but what if your reverence tumbles one day? Beware lest a statue slay you. You say that you believe in Zarathustra? But what matters Zarathustra? You are my believers – but what matter all believers? You had not yet sought yourselves; and you found me. Thus do all believers; therefore all faith amounts to so little. Now I bid you to lose me and find yourselves; and only then when you have all denied me will I return to you… that I may celebrate the great noon with you. — Also Spoke Zarathustra

chaos — Wayfarer

Metaphorically, we're maybe ripples that fall in on themselves and disappear - but it's all water. — Dawnstorm
