@SpeedWatkins There are other rational methods outside of scientific ones no? Surely one justifies induction or something like it without appealing to induction.

"God exists" is either a factual claim, or it's not. If it's a factual claim, it either requires rational methods for it to be justified, or it doesn't. If it requires rational methods for it to be justified, those rational methods either resemble scientific ones, or they don't.

@BobNLestrange Especially people who still defend hereditary monarchies. I dont think they are living in the real world.

@ANNVYSHINSKY Tyranny of Values

name things and I will rate them as either “based” or “cringe”

@jacleo13 @EllyVintiadis I found it. I think. Page 254/255 in the third edition where he talks about bakke.

@eagle_karate @EllyVintiadis I’ll check when I can

Philosophers out there, what is your strangest belief?

@two_standpoints Like this? youtube.com/watch?v=Ob7jtB…

@josh_philosophy Probably need to delete that tweet if you gain more power. we'll see though.

@josh_philosophy Which copy of the first critique? Will we have fights during school board meetings between Guyer/woods supporters and Pluhar supporters?

@jacleo13 @EllyVintiadis I need to read it again. I didn't remember him saying that in AV. Where does he say that? Totally agree on that second part.

@eagle_karate @EllyVintiadis It was in after virtue. He’s right about metaphysics and politics too but I mean just his application of incommensurability from Kuhn to politics and his analysis of the interminable nature of modern political debate

@MissalModernist Thanks!

@eagle_karate The Methodist concept is Christian Perfection

@jacleo13 @EllyVintiadis Macintyre was right about politics/metaphysics being connected or what? Was that quote about SCOTUS from ethics in conflicts in modernity? I got it for christmas but haven't read it.

@eagle_karate @EllyVintiadis Ah, yeah he does seem to play two sides at once. Macintyre was right lol, not too optimistic about public reason and I liked what he said about the Supreme Court in some sense being an arbitrary referee stuck with me.

@BBrown24646528 @EllyVintiadis We probably agree there. The tension between the support of individualism in liberalism and the need of homogeneity in democracy just won't allow it to survive. The historical account of their contingent pairing in opposing medieval society seems very strong to me.

@jacleo13 @EllyVintiadis I just dont understand the political not metaphysical distinction. He does try to stuff things into the concept of reasonable and it irks me. Just be more upfront about it. His approach seems to be in-between two more radical options but he just doesn't choose. its sloppy

@eagle_karate @EllyVintiadis I know that’s a caricature but still

@MissalModernist @EllyVintiadis Do you know what this concept is called so I can learn more? It seemed like the main way to make sense of Christ's command.

@eagle_karate @EllyVintiadis Not on this side of death (I’m not a Methodist)

@jacleo13 @EllyVintiadis Late rawls just really bothers me a lot like absurdly so. I cannot believe people sincerely support his later work. so most of this is from him. It bugs me that people dont reconigize that about Kantian constructivism. At least from what I have read online, people support it

@eagle_karate @EllyVintiadis lol I lowkey agree :/ Kantian constructivism feels like pulling oneself up by one’s bootstraps I agree

@MissalModernist @EllyVintiadis Sure. I thought we have the possibility of being perfect through the grace of God.

@eagle_karate @EllyVintiadis …is morally blameworthy. It’s not *quite* the same as my position, but I would argue it can be construed as having the same general form. A more theological motivation that undergirds my intuition is the Christian command that we be perfect - something that is impossible for us

@MissalModernist @EllyVintiadis Could you explain? I haven't heard someone deny it before let alone a Kantian.

@EllyVintiadis I don’t believe that ought implies can

@WB_Baskerville @morallawwithin People are realizing this more and more.

@eagle_karate @morallawwithin Hell yea brother
