I have 115 articles published here http://www.scribd.com/search?query=freeassemblage I research subject matter in YA that I don't know answers to but want to, and I give references so that you know I'm not 'making things up'. On April 19, 2012, I counted 21 Best Answers in a row as voted by the Questioner, not by the voters. The 22nd in that string was by the voters. I value my unknown voting fans, and I thank you.
Where are all the philosophy questions?
7 AnswersPhilosophy6 years agoThis very worthy and interesting question was reported/deleted?
when asked by someone else, so I'll ask for him/her:
"Is present time in which we live is Platonic Epoch Or Aristotelian Epoch? Explain why."
I would like to hear the answers (I'm not just asking out of justice for someone else.) And it makes me wonder why such good questions are reported, anyway.
9 AnswersPhilosophy7 years agoAccording to Britannica, in logic?
when "we first perform a subalternation and then convert our result, the truth of an A proposition may be said, in "conversion by limitation," to entail the truth of an I proposition with subject and predicate terms reversed: If "All singers are performers" then "Some performers are singers." But this will work only if there really is at least one singer."
But it does not state that in these propositions:
"No felines are dogs," and
"Some snakes are poisonous animals",
that feliines, dogs, snakes and poisonous animals must exist.
What is the difference?
5 AnswersPhilosophy7 years agoIf you accept the coherence theory of truth over?
the correspondence theory, then what if the premise on which all your others rest is faulty?
4 AnswersPhilosophy7 years agoIn what way can the concept of "natural rights" be made independent of?
"God"? Natural rights are said to come from God, but if you don't believe in God, doesn't nature still exist? If your answer is yes, then how would you describe natural, inalienable rights as something independent of God?
3 AnswersPhilosophy7 years agoDo you believe the mind receives mind-dependent sense data...?
...or that it receives genuine extramental entities and their attributes?
To put it another way, do we form an image in our mind of the object we have sensed, or do we perceive without mediation from deeper in the mind the properties of an object?
3 AnswersPhilosophy7 years agoWhat would you say is the objective reason for the value of individual human lives?
This is a general question about human lives as individuals of the species, not about individual people you can name.
7 AnswersPhilosophy7 years agoAre you a direct, or an indirect, realist, and why?
The alternative to either form of realism in this context is "idealism", because it is a question of how sensory information gets into our minds, or whether it isn't sensory at all, but rather a priori.
4 AnswersPhilosophy7 years agoThe "given" is "Whatever is immediately present to the mind......?
before it has been elaborated by inference, interpretation or construction." Dictionary of Philosophy
Do you agree or disagree, and why?
2 AnswersPhilosophy7 years agoCapitalism, when defined as "investment of capital for the sake of making more money," is:?
1. theft
2 if, successful, the creation of more wealth than existed before
3. harmful to the have-nots
4. the freedom of expression through the use of property
Explain your answer
5 AnswersPhilosophy7 years agoIntuition is...?
Intuition is "The direct and immediate apprehension by a knowing subject of itself, of its conscious states, of other minds, of an external world, of universals, of values or of rational truths," according to the Dictionary of Philosophy.
If the mind is "tabula rasa" at birth, where would such intuitions come from?
6 AnswersPhilosophy7 years agoI am going to place the backslash between parts of what I see on my screen?
because if I just cut and paste you will see it properly, whereas I see it like this:
&#/x27/;m/ite/&/#/x27;
So why do some parts of people's questions and answers show up on my computer looking like that?
Here is the cutnpaste version so you know what it is
'mite'
Even on my screen, the cutnpaste looks like it does with my / marks in it.
1 AnswerYahoo Answers7 years agoWhat? There hasn't been a question asked in Phil in 3 hours?
Yahoo has made this new format hard to use, and in order to answer Q! in Phil you have to click on "More" under Arts and Humanities before you even see the choice.
What in God's name is Yahoo thinking about with this new format? I CAN see where they have saved themselves a lot of programming steps, i.e., an increase in memory and speed. But doesn't it suck?
1 AnswerPhilosophy8 years agoDo you hate this new Yahoo layout in Answers, as I do?
Well, I hate it. And I can't find the Suggestion Board to tell them. Everything I need is squished in the middle, and it is one, long, scrolling page rather than 20 at a time. It doesn't tell me which ones I got "Best Answer" on, only that it is now a "Reference" question--because SOMEONE got "Best".
I don't need to see the Menu on the left column all the time. Put it back on the top and let it scroll up so there's more room to expand the width of the questions themselves back to what it was.
I really hate this new format, and it's difficult to use. It takes me 2-3 times as long just to vote, for one thing.
5 AnswersOther - Yahoo Products8 years agoWhy are there "sponsored results" (advertising) under each question?
There didn't used to be these annoying advertising "results"; now there are as many as 5 under each question I click on to read or respond to.
1 AnswerYahoo Answers8 years agoHow do I set my Yahoo controls so that I don't get advertising inside the questions?
For example, I get one of these every time I click on a question to answer:
"Results for 'Is an educated mind ever really lonely?' [That was the question I wanted to answer.]
Amazon.com/NonfictionBooks
Educated Mind at Amazon
Millions of titles, new & used. Qualified orders over $25 ship free."
