| Jun 24, 2021 at 15:15 | comment | added | Deschele Schilder | @HAMDIABDERRAHMENE I dont ignore the truth. Im saying that the ghost is real. It could even be a messanger of the gods (if I believed in them in which case they have an objective existence). The problem if how we can say the box gives us the right answers. You can simply state that it does but then I can simply question the answers given by the box. Maybe even the box itself is an illusion. I think the box existd (even if we are not there so to speak) and that it answers us in a way that depends on culture. A physicisit will get different answers than a dream analist. | |
| Jun 24, 2021 at 14:36 | comment | added | HAMDI ABDERRAHMENE | Arn't you simply ignoring the truth? If a ghost appears and talks to you and then disappears will you say that ghosts doesnt exist? And you start thinking are ghosts real? Was it an illusion? Obviously the questions them selves are meaningless here which means there are no questions about the truthfulness of the existance of ghosts. | |
| Jun 24, 2021 at 14:34 | comment | added | Lio Elbammalf | @HAMDIABDERRAHMENE I think you're missing the point. You're asking how philosophy would be useful given that we all just accept this box to be the source of infalliable truth. That assumption is where a large part of the philosophy lies, you can't just glaze over it. Believing in miracles may be how some people tackle it but others will question to truthfulness of the box, question its source and the implications this has on the nature of reality. The box isn't a reliable source for the answer to those questions. | |
| Jun 24, 2021 at 14:27 | comment | added | HAMDI ABDERRAHMENE | I really wanted to make it clear that a Miracle happend, not believing that the box is real with such unhuman,outer miracles means that you are declining the truth. | |
| Jun 24, 2021 at 6:57 | comment | added | Deschele Schilder | @HAMDIABDERRAHMENE But how do you know the answers are true or not meant to deceive you? How do you know that. Why is there only one box? If the box answers the last question and you dont like the answer why caring about the box. You can always think for yourself that the answers given are wrong. How would you know that the answers are always right? How would you know you interpret the answers correctly? | |
| Jun 24, 2021 at 5:58 | comment | added | HAMDI ABDERRAHMENE | Thank you for the idea, Since the box has all answers implies that there is no problem giving the philosophers the answer of these kind of questions, right? | |
