Re: Contradiction in the Law of Identity
OK fair enough. I do not buy into your argument (still think it is bad form) - but I have a better understanding of your intent (not an intentional negative tactic).

Please feel free to point out what is delusional about the quote:"Everything that exists has a specific nature. Each entity exists as something in particular and it has characteristics that are a part of what it is." Nothing exists independent of a mental act that designates the propertie...

Re: Contradiction in the Law of Identity
Not chair is something that we call a chair, and I can see emptiness. Does chair exist or appear to exist? It depends on scale. Water is wet to us, but sticky to a fly. A chair we can sit on, but an elephant can't , and at another scale a chair is home for woodworm. So Enlightenment includes being ...

Re: Emancipating Reality
It's important to not get tangled up in the web of differing definitions. In philosophy, there are no official, fixed, and final definitions for words. Language is simply a tool to point to concepts, which themselves too are simply pointers to Reality. The pointers are only so important. This is th...

I suspect this might not satisfy you, but I will use the logic side: If the word "universe" is used to describe all existence/existants - then it is without limit ...infinite. If you want to say that something exists outside of the universe you run into the "set inside a set inside a ...
