Nietzsche is a good writer. Kant is a very bad writer.

What does the discipline of metphysics have to do with quantum entanglement?

Yes, and that is what Aristotle meant by "first philosophy."

I never understood the fear of metaphysics.

I believe Aristotle never used the term "metaphysics." In the work by that name he refers to "first philosophy." A minor point perhaps, but indicates ...

How does one experience the forms? I can know particular things about justice, but how does one experience the form of justice?

If you post a specific text then others might be able to comment.

Agree.

Yes. Guns are part of a culture. Gun people think slaughters are acceptable risks.

Like the tv show Lost in Space. The robot flashing lights, that does not compute, that does not compute!

Then, "speculative" may not be the right word.

I would not agree it is speculative.

Will you give a definition of metaphysics?

Metaphysics is a popular specialty in philosophy departments.

I am correct. Good day!

What is inconsistent?

That is the topic of the thread. I am saying the subject--object dichotomy is false. I gave reasons why.

Yes. I saying experience is objective.

30 (Nov. 1887-March 1888; rev. 1888) The time has come when we have to pay for having been Christians for two thousand years: we are losing the center...

Hegel wrote a History of Philosophy. One can dispute his claims, but he knows the history of philosophy.

Opening of Will to Power talks about the coming of European nihilism. That truth as a function of subjectivity was coming to an end.

I never heard of St Thomas being referred to as a mechanist. Will you explain that?

I think you are.

Then I did not understand what you said or why.

"Caesar with the soul of Christ."

Ancient Greeks had doctors and were not mystics.

People mistake the fact Nietzsche was a good writer with him not being a good philosopher.

No need for personal attacks. All I said was Will To Power was his best work.

Where does Nietzsche talk about spirituality?

Nietzsche bothers those who never read him.

You are correct.

I got the idea from Hegel. He distinguished two periods, the ancient Greek and Modern. By modern he meant Jesus and the Christian metaphysic. The anci...

No...but this is a dead end.

Again, I am not talking about theology.

I think that was my point.

Will to Power is Nietzsche's best work.

Descartes exemplifies the Christian metaphysics. To be clear, I am talking metaphysics and not theology.

What do you make of it?

And what is naturalism?

I have studied a lot of Greek thought and I find Jaynes' theory to be wrong.

get lost. sick of you.

You are confused about everything.

What is this?

You have stated none.

Of course it is Aristotle.

Example? And please don't cite Homer. We are talking philosophy.

No.

So, you never took a philosophy class. It shows.

Where?
