Bring it on folks!

But from the point of view of a kind of Kantianism--particularly Schopenhauer's--these two are consistent. At least, they're consistent if science's o...

I wrote a story. When’s the next competition happening?

Sunset at 4:30 for me these days. I find that when it’s dark outside, I don’t feel pressure to do anything. Lying on the sofa reading a book seems nat...

@"god must be atheist" That's enough thanks

:up: Yep, and I enjoyed looking into it for a few minutes. Who knows if I'll go further with it. Maybe in two decades.

I read the first few pages on Amazon's "look inside" and thought it was a fun read. The form looks interesting, less so the themes and subject matter....

You first.

Nice. Like some kind of dance craze.

:cool:

Alas it's true. My words are lost in time, like tears in rain.

I told you so in my first reply to you:

What do you mean exactly?

This discussion was merged into Anti-vaccination: Is it right?

If you want to report something then do so, either using the flag functionality or just by sending a PM. Cryptic comments are not very helpful.

Yeah I'm all for digging into the language for deeper meanings in the way you describe. But the habit of identifying allegory and symbolic schemes in ...

:up: The Critique of Pure Reason reading group starts tomorrow. See you there!

Fair enough. Maybe I'm still reacting to the tone of the OP. There's some truth in that. Particularly a distrust of earthly, bodily experience. But he...

@"T Clark" Here's another angle. I think you've said a couple of times that you're seeking the insights of people here who you respect. So why not see...

Talking of Cornel West, he wrote a piece in April that's even more pertinent, and an interesting angle on this topic: Howard University’s removal of c...

I think it's fair to accuse some academic philosophy of concentrating on texts at the expense of paying attention to yourself and what's around you. B...

Feel free to post the notices.

I'm aware of that.

I'd like to encourage this. I hope you get some people to join in. There have been a few reading groups: https://thephilosophyforum.com/categories/16/...

please stop :groan:

Thanks for the earworm :angry:

It seems I can't help it, no matter how hard I try. :wink:

I would never say so, for fear of incurring his wrath.

I confess I'm tempted to crack down on them.

Yeah, I know. :cool: I just said I felt a resistance to it. I wasn't telling anyone what to do or what not to do, and I went ahead and posted a link t...

Note that although I didn't give you a price, I did give you a straight answer: "I haven't thought about it to be honest. I have no plans to sell it."

It has occurred to me.

I suspect that the poemy, arty people on the forum will know to look in the Lounge, and I feel some resistance to this use of the Shoutbox. On the oth...

I got the impression, partly from what Herbert later said, that it was kind of a warning against manipulation by charismatic leaders, and that ultimat...

I didn't think I was being all that harsh. I like to think it was in proportion to your provocative post.

Sorry TC but I just find this hard to believe. If you were that curious you would find out for yourself, no? Aren't you just looking for validation of...

Anyway, I've moved it to General Philosophy.

:chin:

All right, you've convinced me. Stand by...

I did read your responses and thought so. But maybe I'm wrong.

Philosophy minimally demands openness to ideas, but that OP to me demonstrated anything but that. Maybe I was reading it uncharitably.

To me it didn't seem like a call for reflection. On the contrary. I'm not against people expressing their thoughts, but in this case I thought the tho...
