  1. Hi, I have put together a 2 minute video on the topic of Anarchism. It has a catchy tune, especially for UK golf fans. Hope you like it. (I'm trying to build on the 9 views it has so far.)
  2. A forest is a concept, and concepts don't exist in physical reality, I think we can all agree on that. Human groups, in a similar vein, don't exist. They to are concepts and in reality are just a collection of individuals. So is a human not a concept as well? Is it not just the term we give to a collection of atoms. An atom is just a concept..... If everything is a concept, does it not lose all meaning? And if concepts don't exist in physical reality and everything is a concept......then that must mean I'm not actually sitting here typing out this question As you can tell I'm a bit stumped by this, what am I missing?
  3. Looking for some help. A study or studies have been referenced on the show several times. But I can't find them. It is in regard to psychological outcomes comparing control groups to groups that have had 10 hours of philosophy or logic courses. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
  4. if you wanted to prove that the earth revolved around the sun there are various methods one could use to demonstrate that fact, even though it is fairly obvious. With stealing for example how would you go about proving it was unethical, even though it is fairly obvious. I'm trying to get the methodology. From memory Steph had three points or ways to prove it was unethical. One of which had to do with 2 people in a room not being able to steal from one another, therefore it can't be universalize. He of course put it better, i'm trying to remember the wording and the other 2. The argument i was in revolved around Philosophy being comparable to science, much like a Dietitian is concerned with the science of nutrition, a philosopher is consider with the science of ethics and truth. Am I on the right track / or making any sense?
  5. Proving something to be philosophically true? I roughly remember Steph talking about two guys in a room not being able to steal from each other, but that is unfortunately the limit of my memory. Does anyone know the various ways to proof something philosophically. Or know a link to a presentation that explains it. I'm in the middle of an argument on NAP and trying to nail it down.
