Re: Articles of interest

I don't speak for Ligotti. I don't know him. I just don't think the type of antinatalism this site is sympathetic to and government-mandated racial eugenics are compatible. I care about animal...

Yes, that's the first thing you have said I relate to in a long time also.

Re: Interview on theology and horror

A vein of compassion that resonates with our modern sense of the word runs through the Hebrew scriptures, which of course predate Christianity. Yes, there's Abraham's test of faith in Genesis, where...

Re: Interview on theology and horror

I mean, God literally has people sacrifice their kids for him in the Bible. I think compassion predates Christianity and is an instinctual reaction to the harrowing sight of suffering, which people...

Re: Is science materialistic?

Okay, reading back over recent comments, I think I can see how tension has mounted. Unfortunately, I have a headache and little time. These are also complicated issues, and I'm not sure where my own...

Re: Is science materialistic?

But the scientific discoveries are replicable, and scientific explanations are useful and enable successful predictions to be made.
Religious visions do not do any of those things. There may be a...

Re: Is science materialistic?

Here's a more succinct expression of the argument the theist might employ:

An atheist who presupposes the scientific method must rely upon the existence of God in order to make reliable...

Re: Is science materialistic?

A few screens back, I recommended Edward Feser's Philosophy of Mind. I have had reason to re-read a section of it today, and can renew my recommendation. Apart from that, I found something that I...

Re: Is science materialistic?

I haven't read Jerry Fodor, but I think he is an example of a philosophical materialist who wrote extensively about consciousness in a non-reductive manner. Daniel Dennett strongly disagreed with...
