A bit regarding a couple of key points. — creativesoul
At this point, we are far removed from any cosmological or neurological explanation, as they have previously been synthesized into the notion of thought/belief, of which morality represents one type.) — Merkwurdichliebe
Is that Spock logic: "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth" — Merkwurdichliebe
Some moral thought/belief is prior to language acquisition. — creativesoul
Can't be coming from me. Prefixing the term "truth" with the term "the" is not a practice of mine. — creativesoul
Can you give me an example? — Merkwurdichliebe
If all thought/belief share a common core, and cosmological and neurological explanations are kinds of thought/belief, then they too share a common core. — creativesoul
Although each would be unique in its content, all would share a basic conceptual framework... — Merkwurdichliebe
I understand what you are saying. The cosmological and neurological are type of thought belief too, as in they have zero a priori significance — Merkwurdichliebe
Word is born my man. I can learn a lot from you. :up: — Merkwurdichliebe
Shouldn't we focus at least as much on a phenomenon as the phenomenon rather than just talking about preconditions for it? — Terrapin Station
Not when we're talking about it. — Merkwurdichliebe
There's no disagreement concerning how we come to adopt our first morals(original language acquisition). — creativesoul
In general, human thought/belief about morals has grown in complexity — creativesoul
Morals aren't just physical. — creativesoul
I think a multi-varied analysis from the perspective of many disciplines can reveal a lot about any topic. We just need to refrain from committing the reductionist error of equating the explanation with the thing we are trying to explain. — Merkwurdichliebe
I don't believe that anything exists that isn't just physical. — Terrapin Station
What we need to be more careful about is equating arbitrary causes with the phenomenon in question. — Terrapin Station
That's like saying that anything requires a camera to photograph it. Yeah, but that doesn't mean that only cameras exist. — Terrapin Station
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
