Topic Camp Tree
This section is a table of contents for this topic. It is in outline or tree form, with supporting sub camps indented from the parent camp. If you are in a sub camp, you are also counted in all parent camps including the agreement camp at the top. The numbers are canonized scores derived from the people in the camps based on your currently selected canonizer on the side bar. The camps are sorted according to these canonized scores. Each entry is a link to the camp page which can contain a statement of belief. The green line indicates the camp page you are currently on and the statement below is for that camp.
Agreement Statement
The purpose of this POV Structure topic is to specify how canonizer.com will represent large sets of potentially independent issues of controversy within complex topics.
Complex controversial issues such as religion or philosophy of mind usually involve large sets of beliefs or doctrines. Of the many issues within the topic of the philosophy of mind, for example there are two typical examples:
- Qualia Qualophiles could believe qualia are real and an important part of consciousness, while qualophobes could believe qualia don't really exist or aren't important for various reasons.
- Representational Some people could believe in direct perception - that we are directly aware of things in the world, while others may be representational and believe that our knowledge only exists in our brain as the final result of the perception process and that this is all we are directly aware of.
Amongst the large sets of such issues, various people pick and choose where they stand on each individual issue. Each issue can be represented as a different independent dimension of belief resulting in a many dimensional space. What individuals believe within each dimension places them at a location within such a multi dimensional space. The two dimensions described above could result in a two dimensional space with 4 possible locations. There could be representational qualophiles, representational qualophobes, direct perception qualophiles and finally direct perception qualophobes.
What is the best way to represent such complex multi issue topics in the canonizer?
