It seems to me that you pose rules to philosophy, such as need for rationality. Are there rules that philosophy must undergo in order to be philosophy...
I followed the OP in my first answer Mine is not an argument, but a reminder to take subjectivity into consideration. Your OP seems working just becau...
I have never said that it follows. I said This means that what can be opposed to what Roger thinks is not what actually is, but what other people thin...
That’s impossible: you are saying this because now you think you are morally valuable. If tomorrow you think you are not morally valuable, tomorrow yo...
Moral value is based not on who or what we are, but on who or what we think we are. This makes irrelevant your notes about mind and body, because it a...
I think today there is a need to pay deeper attention to the person, to subjectivity, the self, the meaning of existence, but this need is unfulfilled...
I think the real, authentic self, is that part of the experience of the self that is impossible to express. I mean: I have a certain perception of me ...
Absolute, objective, means separated, indipendent, autonomous. How can it be autonomous, since, if we try to consider reality, objectivity, we can’t i...

We should specify that, by saying “happy” in this context, we are actually saying “externally happy”. A drunk person seems externally happy, but we ca...
I think that you are right in your premises, if I understood correctly: in other words, we need to keep under permanent criticism our categories, thou...
Chances are not 50-50, they are 100-0. It’s a matter of consistency: we have no way to deny that we live in a simulation, because it is the result of ...
An essential book about angels from a philosophical perspective is The necessary angel by Massimo Cacciari. I remember I read it long time ago and I u...
It seems to me that this thread is being too disorganized: there's a risk of touching a lot of topics without any real reflection about it, so that, a...
Both the Bible and philosophy don't need to have anything special, progressive or groundbreaking (which are quite subjective qualities) to deserve stu...
I see that http://www.biblicalphilosophy.org says “Welcome to the website that is committed to the inerrancy of the Bible”: this makes me think that a...
I don't think so: a merely rational, critical, scientific approach to the Bible is at risk of missing a lot of connections because it is less connecte...
My discussion was about Palestine, I referred the English transcription “Jesus” just to make things simple. So, I actually was referring to the Hebrew...
I think that the problem of supernatural and miracles is all about the context of mentalities where they are supposed to happen. The more we are sever...
Years ago I wrote the following reflection about the historical existence of Jesus. Maybe it can help. There is a lot of controversy on the internet a...
I think that the question about the languages spoken by Jesus becomes more important if we consider them not just as languages, but as cultures: I thi...
I would turn the question upside down: is there any topic that isn't ultimately mysterious? If you go back to the concepts, words, ideas that we use t...
Perhaps it would be good to consider that ethics or morality aren't the most important content of the Bible. For example, Jesus and his contemporary p...
In my opinion, an essential line underlying the whole Bible is criticism. Most ancient texts of the Bible are highly picturesque, while, over time, we...
I think that Jung's interpretations of the Bible are fascinating, because they suggest deep connections with our psiche, and this is precisely also th...
In the perspective of the Bible, steps are improvements because they are guided by God. Actually there is also some explicit or implicit criticism abo...
An example of existential similarity between texts of the Bible and philosophy could be the idea that life is a never ending trip: the existence of th...
It seems to me that your idea of the Bible is too connected with Christianity. The Bible is not Christian, it’s a list of books and this list differs,...
Perhaps we should first wich kind of philosophical perspective we would like to compare the Bible with. In particular, I think we should clarify what ...
Perhaps this topic can be very important because phillosophy, especially today, is at risk of being too separated, too far from the mass, from common ...
We can’t properly reflect on these things without critically reflecting of the mental tools we are using to reflect on them, such as the idea of being...
I think that skepticism is not self-refuting, because it starts as trust, not as skepticism. Those who are skeptic at the end of the reasoning are not...
I think that in your reasoning there is a way of considering subjectivity that actually is an objectification of it. If we consider the subjectivity o...
I think your roadmap is very good. Personally, I would define myself a non-naive relativist: I know that saying that “everything is relative” becomes ...
