Is this your paper? Is there a discussion on this forum?

This topic intrigued me. Phenomenology is good because it provides new keys to understanding. Now let's take these keys (which I suggested above) and ...
November 14, 2025 at 07:20
Thanks for bringing this up as I hadn't read it before (I joined the forum late). I'd also like to comment on the topic of the opening post. These wil...

In my opinion, modern people have almost forgotten what it's like to "feel shame." Films, books, and philosophers merely document its absence. Perhaps...
November 14, 2025 at 02:32
Finally! These words are like balm for the soul: I'll use this here on the forum whenever someone proposes another “Theory of Everything.” The paper l...
November 13, 2025 at 08:02
Although this topic is somewhat old, I'll leave my comment here (in case anyone finds it interesting). Not from a theological perspective, but from a ...
November 12, 2025 at 03:27
I sincerely sympathize with your way of thinking. Moreover, I assure you that I hold similar views regarding such shows. The problem is probably somet...

They showed a madman and warned: "Don't be like him." B.B. shows a madman and whispers: "Be like him, only smarter—and everything will be fine."

The horizon of the possible has truly expanded. In the 90s, a person who wanted money and respect had three culturally approved paths: education ? car...

It's not about neighborhoods or local differences—people everywhere are subject to the same influences, especially in the age of global media. My poin...

I'm afraid that this is true only for a small part of society capable of self-reflection.
November 10, 2025 at 04:06
A very interesting essay that covers the same issues that I tried to cover here in a much deeper and more subtle way. I think you won't disagree that ...
November 10, 2025 at 03:45
A worthy critique and an interesting comment. You're bringing me back down to earth, saying that statements require empirical support. Moreover, the a...

The world has changed forever for me now.
November 08, 2025 at 15:08
I agree with you. In "Lolita," the aestheticization of evil (page after page of beautiful descriptions) doesn't lead to "redemption" or normalization,...
November 08, 2025 at 09:10
The idea for this post arose from a conversation about a local TV series centered around the justice system: it meticulously depicts abuses of power b...
November 08, 2025 at 08:52
As you may have read, this example is given as a vivid illustration. The topic I touched on concerns not the series but a cultural phenomenon. Yes. I ...
November 08, 2025 at 08:38
I agree with this, just as I agree that this isn't exactly news. For example, in another well-known series, "Game of Thrones," each character does som...
November 07, 2025 at 15:33
I asked this because I face this question daily, even in my everyday life. The point is that any assessment of a system you find yourself in from the ...
November 06, 2025 at 04:40
"Belief is a fictitious category." I'm intrigued by how your proof will look. I hope there's a flaw in your perfect syllogism that can be criticized, ...
November 05, 2025 at 15:06
I'm interested in your topic. Essentially, the discussion revolves around the opposition between "I believe" and "I think"—and, importantly, the unspo...
November 05, 2025 at 04:23
The very word "crisis" carries a negative connotation. It sounds like the loss of a familiar good. For example, illness is a health crisis, and death ...
November 04, 2025 at 13:00
Yes, that's exactly how I put the question. And moreover, what needs to be done to "go beyond the boundaries," to see from the outside? Is it possible...
November 04, 2025 at 03:25
I read this with a heavy heart. But consider: have you ever considered that what you're doing isn't just, or even primarily, an argument, but rather a...
November 04, 2025 at 02:30
Do you think that full reflection is possible for a person who is inside a paradigm?
November 03, 2025 at 11:22
I sympathize with your reflection on this matter. I often wonder, "By engaging in philosophy, am I finding meaning or simply engaging in intellectual ...
November 02, 2025 at 08:25
In the context of exposing your atheism (as I promised earlier in another thread), So, you're not asserting God or something definite, but something i...
November 01, 2025 at 08:26
It's not a simple question. Of course, I'm always curious about how exactly the person I'm speaking with calls the transcendental. Most often, it has ...
October 31, 2025 at 04:20
What is happening, I think, is that the author of the original post is trying to fit life into logic. At this point, he’s drawing a boundary between t...
October 29, 2025 at 16:06
I noticed that the term "Law (of Nature)" is misleading in your otherwise logically sound post. The term itself comes from 17th-century theology and j...
October 29, 2025 at 08:49
You distinguish between logical and empirical necessity, but it seems to me you fail to notice that even your "logical necessity" doesn't exist in a v...
October 29, 2025 at 05:51
I don't speak English very well myself and use a translator. I'll try to explain it sentence by sentence. The world is fluid. I gave an example of cha...
October 29, 2025 at 05:30
I gave this example not to discuss the quality or capabilities of modern robots, but to illustrate one example of the world's fluidity, which continua...
October 29, 2025 at 05:11
Okay, so let's say you enshrine the right to work in the constitution. Robots appear and replace humans in every field. The state can no longer guaran...
October 29, 2025 at 04:26
No, I was talking about something slightly different. If "ought" is derived from "necessary," and the idea of ??"necessary" changes over time, does wh...
October 29, 2025 at 03:35
I like the functionalist approach. I also share your idea about the origins of "ought." Essentially, this isn't a new idea—just a new perspective on a...
October 28, 2025 at 05:30
I couldn't ignore this, as I'm personally involved. In our region, proof and evidence are handled by "procedural law." It's typically codified and con...
October 27, 2025 at 20:42
I learned one very interesting lesson from reading this article. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.13928 I recommend reading the text itself. In short: a neu...
October 24, 2025 at 16:33
I can perfectly understand your feelings, especially since my family members live in the United States, where they moved in search of a better life. I...
October 24, 2025 at 05:56
Our discussion seems to be about 50 years too late. Although, I'm convinced, it must have been a very interesting time, with two diametrically opposed...
October 23, 2025 at 19:34
You reminded me of the opinion of one amateur philosopher from the 80s: https://youtu.be/sPLc4hLD3ts?si=JGQqfTqgHXO7XwDR I'm both impressed and horrif...
October 22, 2025 at 02:41
No offense taken. Perhaps you expressed yourself perfectly in context. The thing is, I've never met anyone who truly doesn't believe in God (what they...
October 21, 2025 at 18:54
You never cease to amaze and delight me. Unfortunately, I've met few Russians who understand their culture as well as you do. Rather, this idea of ??n...
October 21, 2025 at 16:56
You see, these ideas are good as a guarantee of protection against outside encroachment on any of these rights. Which turns out to be a huge fake. The...
October 21, 2025 at 13:15
It's paradoxical, isn't it? Maybe the problem lies in anthropology? I'm referring to this greedy expansion of meanings. I can't speak for everyone, bu...
October 21, 2025 at 12:53
Your post quoting Hazony got me thinking about the context of his ideas. It seems to me that at the core of the conservative approach, like the progre...
October 21, 2025 at 04:09
A very interesting topic to ponder. Basically, some empirical data suggests that our ancestors traditionally had a tail. Let's bring it back? Traditio...
October 20, 2025 at 03:56
Of course. But I'll be watching closely and waiting for you to slip up. :razz:
October 18, 2025 at 07:17
Sorry, but I remain skeptical about your calling yourself an atheist.
October 18, 2025 at 06:23
I never got an answer to any of my questions.
