My thoughts on the Hard problem of consciousness
#19
RE: My thoughts on the Hard problem of consciousness
@Neo. Can you summarise the difference between 'Analytic Philosophy' and Classical Philosophy, as you understand it? From what you've said in the past, I gather the former is to do with having materialistic assumptions, and from the wiki entry of it, basically a much more scientific form of philosophy... as opposed to Classical Philosophy which looks at foundations? But assuming by classical you're particularly looking at Aristotle... leading on to Aquinas, and therefore 'Formal' and 'Final' causes as well as 'Material' and 'Efficient' causes (which I have yet to get to properly in my reading... though I have started reading Aristotle after now having read a thorough book about the Five Ways... but you talk about them often enough Wink)... it would seem to me that they also are assumptions, initially arrived at through reason but thereafter used as foundations for further study... so in that sense I can't see the difference between that and using materialistic assumptions arrived at through reason as the basis for what follows.
