it looks unambiguous

I agree, this is truly interesting. Indeed, in Latin, veritas means truth. It turns out that, as a Slav, I understand both the word and the act itself...
October 18, 2025 at 04:57
Thus, as far as I could tell from the cited articles, there is no mention of the life (or any kind of existence) of a separate soul after death, until...

During my university years, Aristotle's Rhetoric was my go-to book. Discussions about virtues literally remind me of it. Unfortunately, as I mentioned...

While I find your approach easily refutable (with your permission, I won't), I personally find it very relatable. At the same time, it seems a bit out...

Could you please review this work of mine, taking into account your views? I would be incredibly interested. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion...
October 17, 2025 at 10:52
I can give at least one example where it's not necessarily better for a person to be strong: For example, if your community is taken over by another, ...

I've been thinking about your words for several days now. Unfortunately, my knowledge of Judaism is very superficial, but the facts you cited were alr...

Each new approach, whether naturalistic or otherwise, adds another voice to the polyphony of ideas, heightening the sense of "splitness." Authors atte...
October 17, 2025 at 04:42
And here's another thing. Of course, I don't like all the themes here on the forum. "Too simple," "Too dreary," "Too idealized." And I'm certainly not...
October 16, 2025 at 19:51
I'd like you to grasp the difference. This wasn't an attack on your theoretical ideas, but rather an attempt to highlight the lack of content (in my o...
October 16, 2025 at 19:30
Sorry, but I haven't seen a single non-speculative statement here. So far, it looks like a collection of idealistic assertions adorned with the purple...
October 16, 2025 at 12:43
I'm also a semi-academic philosopher, but I'm still on my way to becoming one. In my opinion, a child can utter a philosophical formula that rivals a ...
October 16, 2025 at 06:21
So you've determined the truth. Great. Now what do you do with all this? It's like an exercise in the aesthetics of symmetry and transformation that r...

It's always like this: as soon as you believe in something, a philosopher appears and crumbles it all to dust.
October 15, 2025 at 04:02
Faith translates into Russian as "VERA." And it's a very broad concept. It encompasses both a female name and the feeling and concept of a vast number...
October 15, 2025 at 03:57
I like your approach: it reminds me of one of my academic advisors at university. It went like this: I would come to him with my essay, he would read ...
October 15, 2025 at 03:50
Thanks again, I've studied the links you provided. When writing the text, I used linguistic differences as an illustration to show that being is not n...
October 15, 2025 at 03:40
Great, thank you, I'll check it out first and come back later.
October 15, 2025 at 02:24
Don't take this as flattery, but reading your comments, as well as , gives me a special vibe. It's an almost mystical feeling of warmth and kindness. ...
October 14, 2025 at 05:45
So, I took a short pause before giving a thoughtful response. I really enjoyed your post. As far as I understand, you're proposing a more integrated m...
October 14, 2025 at 05:08
My situation is a little different from yours. My city is at the intersection of cultures, paradigms, and ideas (Chinese approaches, Russian (Christia...
October 13, 2025 at 17:02
It's a shame, everything was going so well. Actually, I want to thank you for your comments. I wanted to take a break to think things over before repl...
October 13, 2025 at 16:46
Well, since you haven't yet reached the point of presenting the truths (you're probably still warming up), it seems entirely reasonable to deepen your...
October 13, 2025 at 16:31
I've already realized that your judgments are rooted in emotion, but asserting something false requires the speaker to possess the truth. The ideas I'...
October 13, 2025 at 16:09
You and I have quite similar ideas, apparently. I can only add to this from Kierkegaard: faith is silent. I encountered the preacher's paradox in my e...
October 13, 2025 at 07:05
Excellent! This is a source of fertile discussion. It's all logical; this rhetorical technique is called "reduction to absurdity." The point is: remem...
October 13, 2025 at 06:16
As an example, I'll give a few hypothetical judgments: 1. The Sistine Chapel ceiling is beautiful because I've seen it. 2. The Sistine Chapel ceiling ...
October 13, 2025 at 05:36
This is a wonderful answer (I'm just emotional right now), and frankly, I expected something like this when I started this thread. Give me a couple of...
October 12, 2025 at 19:20
As I noted above, you're confusing authoritarianism with totalitarianism. And here's the thing: it seems that for people within the Western metadiscou...
October 12, 2025 at 12:21
Here's the thing: by creating any image of God in our heads, we're trying to fit something into our heads that's incomprehensible, a priori. This is c...
October 11, 2025 at 11:20
No, rather, the point is that I've met many people who call themselves believers who don't possess even the slightest degree of the ethicality that pe...
October 11, 2025 at 07:40
and yet, you defend these views well. Have you ever thought about the possibility that, deep down, you are either a latent believer or a dormant belie...
October 11, 2025 at 06:51
I'll try to explain what "faith" is in Kierkegaard's understanding, as best I can. So, let's say there is "knowledge"—that which is confirmed by exper...
October 11, 2025 at 06:09
Excellent. Now add a layer of responsibility: promoting something you're unsure of, you don't know the consequences, and you shift all the responsibil...
October 11, 2025 at 06:04
Of course, Tom, that's a gross exaggeration. I probably expressed myself in a way that was taken too literally. But here's the thing, and I've written...
October 11, 2025 at 05:07
This resonates perfectly with Kierkegaard: Faith is a personal act. Faith is silent. You subtly distinguish expansive preaching from intra-denominatio...
October 10, 2025 at 13:28
You're obviously confusing authoritarianism with totalitarianism. Authoritarianism is when your dad punches you in the face if you steal your neighbor...
October 10, 2025 at 13:04
Oh, here's where I'm ready to intervene and responsibly state: authoritarianism, unlike liberalism, dictates how to act and what to do, but it also do...
October 10, 2025 at 11:14
I get your point and find it constructive. As for the topic itself, the author posted a short version of his video, which I watched and found too spec...
October 10, 2025 at 10:32
I anticipated this objection:
October 10, 2025 at 09:14
Here is a more detailed explanation if I understood your question correctly
October 10, 2025 at 09:06
I never liked this and I felt it was wrong, which I now expressed with the help of arguments in this post. This approach seems clearly preferable to m...
October 10, 2025 at 09:00
Please share: do you see the "preacher's paradox" or do you think it doesn't exist? Perhaps I'm proposing too rigid a dichotomy?
October 10, 2025 at 08:45
My apologies to the author of this thread, but my comment is somewhat off-topic. Your earlier thread about defining the concept of "system" certainly ...
October 10, 2025 at 08:39
Thank you for your comment. Indeed, after the first reading, that's how it seems, so I'd like to clarify my idea. When someone sends us a directive, a...
October 10, 2025 at 05:33
I'm not arguing with you. I know some people who are so immersed in the concerns of today that they have no time for such questions. Indeed, I'm sure ...
October 10, 2025 at 02:36
No, I don't speak German, unfortunately. But I speak Russian and Kazakh, and I grew up in a culture of mutual immersion between Russian and Kazakh cul...
October 10, 2025 at 02:31
Well, you've been presented with sufficient considerations, philosophical, and practical approaches to studying the problem you've identified. We look...

Everything is fine. I'm already convinced you're human, because you passed my test! :lol:
