There is not actually an infinite regress. There is a long, subtle, and biologically ancient regress that you have adapted to unconsciously and simply called it you. But the interesting point, is th …

I'll give you my solution. There is never a way to logically prove any axiom or a prioi predicate, partly by definition this MUST be true. So, what else do you have besides "faith"? Two things: 1) o …

In every case, it is because they either are holding on to a religion or they are not experts. It could be the standard model, it could be heliocentrism (which in fact has never been observed), it co …

Because in postmodernism, since Truth has been abrogated, all that you have left are battles of power in order to have relevancy. In the case of your examples, however, it is simple elitism and misp …

Yes it is possible, but then that part of your life becomes dependent on that assertion. This is why there are axioms and logic which survive over time: they simply become the status quo which is de …

Generally and in most practical usages I've come across, it means that a particular kind of (generally unstated) "science", namely, empricism, can't answer (because they rely on something subjective o …

Yes, because while all reason may rest on the unprovable, no one can surpass these starting points, except by encompassing the whole universe and developing a new synthesis. So, don't give up on reaso …

In today's pathological society, it is immoral not to seek knowledge amidst such troubling consequences of inadequate leaders, pollution and degradation of natural resources, high-school suicide, loss …

This question comes out of a lack of understanding or misunderstanding of power. People engage other people, reasonably, but pretty soon the conversations gets heated and their "point of authority" g …

Well, there's a historical relationship, where science was under the domain of philosophy before the term science (likely) existed. And there's the logical or categorical relationship where both purp …

A position could be defended by appeals to common history of consciousness. For example, and despite Kant's claims to the contrary, solving the issue of GOD would create a basis for a true metaphysic …

It has been solved. There is a beginning to the Universe. Existence, then reasoning start there. It was answered with the completion of Jewish prophecy for the Messiah, predicted by our Creator som …
