Philosophical Speculations

But does anyone actually find deep meaning in the impermanence of the world and themselves? The ethical foundation and teaching of Pyrrhon, Nagarjuna etc. philosophical skepticism is ataraxia and fuller presence in beauty and wonder of life. Metaphysical essentialism leads easily to dogmatism, iden...

Epistemological humility can't deny or affirm such possibilities of divisible and disconnected. Divisible vs non-divisible and connected vs. disconnected are bivalent expressions and thoughts. As is also duality vs. nonduality, formally. If we're not able to make concessions here to the inherent di...

Not 'prior to' just refers to there being no ontologically distinct process antecedent to what can only be a process that is not divisible into disconnected parts or entities, i.e. nonduality, which in no way implies being bivalent. Epistemological humility can't deny or affirm such possibilities o...

(...) Cherrypicking and misinterpreting few quotes to support a day of sophistry in a court debate for this or that dogma does not mean honest attempt to comprehend philosophy. That method is not honest, not trustworthy. Translator's loyalty to text and meaning starts from getting first a holistic ...

"Ontological primitive" stands for some singular noun - aka "monism". How does qualitative multiplicity - or non-quantitative pluralism - imply reduction to monism? Well then call it the ontological primal process, under idealism involving ideation, the point remains that there'...

Who here honestly thinks that the above came from a person who is anti-essentialist, disturbed at any mention of OP, and rabid supporter of relational QM transposed to mystical "emptiness" philosophy? I think most with an open mind will find that the above passage suggests the exact oppos...

(...) I don't feel it would be responsible and ethical to continue excluding non-European philosophies and discussing arguments from authority from a selection of Eurocentric philosophers, especially when the main purpose of the selective reading the list of authorities through filters of egoism ap...

Perhaps so, but is it possible to speak absent 'psychic states' with qualitative, meaningful multiplicity , which when speaking about ontology, implies a reduction to an ontological primitive ... allowing that there is no 'prior to' such states. "Ontological primitive" stands for some sin...

Allowing for some sense of selfhood, contra some sense of objectified other-than-self—reflection in windowpane—however illusory it may be, does that inter-relational dynamic not still occur absent any linguistic intervention? Well, absent any linguistic intervention we can't think and speak of self...
