Murderer at the door example of Kant. Always wrong to lie even to save someone's life.

Stop misquoting me. It is wrong.

Nomads?

Small minds think small thoughts.

Goodbye.

If you don't like philosophy, try posting on a chit chat site.

When I was 8 old I found this to be funny. Not since then.

Interesting.

And monads.

A possible world is a logical structure. A system, or world, that is governed by a rule.

Kant was a conservative.

I wish I learned philosophy as a child rather than religion.

I don't agree at all. Many think Kant is profound, whereas he is just a bad writer. Many think Nietzsche is poetic, whereas he is just a good writer.

No idea what you're doing at all. Probably should stop reading your comments.

I really don't know what you're talking about. Is this a philosophy forum?!

He was a professor of philology.

Like, wow. Yeah.

Oh.

I suspect there are far more people influenced by Nietzsche than Jung.

Yes, Aristotle was clearly opposed to religion. He calls God (theos) the Prime Mover, but it has no properties of subjectivity.

The history of philosophy shows changes in the issues philosophers take seriously.

What are you saying Aristotle's theology is?

I'd have to do more research to find it. But I cited his description of God as pure thought. God/Prime Mover causes motion for both physical things an...

I don't think Aristotle believes anything is timeless. His ontology is that both intelligence and materiality are coexistent. Neither precedes the oth...

What does that have to do with "the realm of becoming?"

"Therefore it must be of itself that the divine thought thinks (since it is the most excellent of things), and its thinking is a thinking on thinking....

I do. God, the prime mover is thought thinking thought. The cause of motion yet itself not in motion. Christians used this idea directly but made it i...

Aristotle was explicitly opposed to religion. I do not remember the passage, but he criticized making god into a form like a human or animal. So, no J...

That does not sound like Aristotle. Can you cite something with him saying that? What exactly are these "first principles?" In the Metaphysics he expl...

Me too. When quoting a text please cite the source.

Derrida is a sceptic. So a lot of his arguments are about the impossibility of knowledge.

And yet, if we take Rorty seriously about pragmatism, he makes the same claim. One just argues about which words or descriptions are better.

Thinking and driving don't mix.

I think Heidegger's notion of the being of beings is meaningless. Some philosophers think Heidegger himself realized that the ambition of fundamental ...

All theology I've read starts with belief in God. Philosophy does not start with such assumption.

I don't remember Rorty saying that. And if you cannot cite something, there's nothing to talk about.

Not familiar. Where does that observation come from?

Rorty: "Admirers of Derrida like myself" https://web.stanford.edu/group/csp/phi60/rortyintro.pdf

Exactly. I agree.

I did not go berserk. Being rational is normal.

Ok. How would a physicist investigate those physical properties?

You have no idea what people mean by spirit?

So, "spirit" to you means physical?

Where did those definitions say God is a physical entity?

By definition.

You don't believe God is a physical entity. Nor do I. Why would we debate something neither of us believe?

What definition of God makes it a physical entity?

Okay. How does science examine the existence of God. You're much smarter than me. Explain.

Goodbye.

Not in the mood for jerks. Debate or keep quiet.
