The amount of people following something does not correlated to the truth or validity of that something. Good examples of this are Fascism, Racism, Se...

Religion does not have the upper hand over philosophy.
August 20, 2018 at 05:29
lol... I guess we will have to agree to disagree then.
August 20, 2018 at 04:36
Do another Wittgenstein thread.
August 20, 2018 at 04:17
Ughhhh. Of course. The totality of the psyche constitutes all of the impulses, desires and inclinations of mankind. The totality of the psyche is appr...

Raping and murdering someone is brutal :starstruck:
August 20, 2018 at 04:07
In Being and Nothingness Jean Paul Sartre interprets Heidegger and the concepts are extraordinarily similar. I read both books side by side. Heidegger...

My own philosophy : Identity Personality Sexuality Language Perception Epistemology Relationality I don't want to go to deep into my own philosophy fo...
August 20, 2018 at 03:53
hmmmmm. Is it not true the Sartre interpreted Heidegger and created a whole system of thought from which some people say was a misinterpretation? "The...

It is obvious who is brutal. Really? :starstruck:
August 20, 2018 at 03:24
I am not diseased and I know many people whom are not. Humanity is an illusion. That is what I am saying. There is no totality of humanity. There coul...
August 20, 2018 at 02:45
And what? I too, a homosexual, am a sexual deviant? Is this because I do not conform to conventional standards of sexuality? According to your empiric...
August 20, 2018 at 02:38
And that is because you are a piece of sh$t. Again, you are upon a completely impoverished epistemology. Gender IS NOT sex organs. It is psychological...
August 20, 2018 at 02:30
and I am shallow? Actually, the idea of tree and plant was from Nietsche's On Truth and Untruth, not from me. Nietzsche is shallow. :rofl: Not only do...

When I close my eyes and think of any concept, it will be different than yours. Blue, flower, cat, philosophy... If I am told to picture 'blue,' the f...
August 20, 2018 at 01:28
My thought began with science. I researched Spinoza because of Einstein. Then philosophy began with Nietzsche and that pushed me toward psychology. I ...
August 20, 2018 at 01:23
Please tell me... What is humanity? If humanity is constituted by the behavior and actions of humans... Humanity is diseased!
August 20, 2018 at 01:08
To call homosexuality a crime is brainless.
August 20, 2018 at 01:05
You are basically saying, again, that the abject, terrible screams and agonies of rape/murder victims do not matter, and we should focus more on maint...
August 20, 2018 at 01:04
Well, Emmanuel Levinas asked that same question and wrote a book called Totality and Infinity claiming that ethics is first philosophy.
August 20, 2018 at 00:59
Pick up a work and plow through it. True philosophy is doing it in your own way. That is what the greatest philosophers did. They were radically thems...
August 20, 2018 at 00:58
I was just thinking about this the other day. It seems to me that philosophy in a very serious sense has become institutionalized and academized to th...
August 20, 2018 at 00:53
where is that quote from ? And I feel like we are on the same page here :nerd:
August 20, 2018 at 00:44
Then the only absolution is based upon the responsibility of humans!-- to protect humans and refuse an atrocity becoming blatantly unaccounted for. Wh...
August 19, 2018 at 23:39
I agree with you, though I am still uncertain. I seem to think the seem thing about this in-between the expressed and the expressing... Oh Lord, here ...
August 19, 2018 at 23:36
and do you believe in a God that accounts for, mitigates, assuages and absolves the terrible things humans do, lest 'humanity' becomes 'evil?'
August 19, 2018 at 23:20
Angry? And the thousands upon thousands of innocent children that die every year from preventable causes is somehow justified or accounted for? And th...
August 19, 2018 at 23:08
hmmm interesting But I'm not really talking about an 'authentic talk:' this in itself seems to be idle. I am referring to an adequate exchange of mean...
August 19, 2018 at 23:04
Lol you absolutely have no care for the sufferer who was raped and murdered, or sold into prostitution and then murdered. Justice? Humanity? Rofl, the...
August 19, 2018 at 22:55
1. There could be machines that do it instead of a person. 2. No it doesn't lol. Again. Humanity is an illusion. 3. Doesn't have to be in public. It w...
August 19, 2018 at 22:51
Humanity is an ideal. The reality is that the world is harsh and brutal. There is no room for idealism. If a person, by whatever means, commits and at...
August 19, 2018 at 22:39
Humans are brutal. Get over it. Brutal people deserve brutal consequences. Simple. There are simply too many people in the world. There is no room for...

So in some cases a person is not responsible for the brutal murder of someone?! Lol! Right...
August 19, 2018 at 21:40
key word 'some' aren't deterred by fear. And in this case you are talking about psychopathic individuals. In this case, a mental asylum for the crimin...
August 19, 2018 at 21:40
Maybe they deserve cruel and unusual punishment, for the criminal took away the rights of an individual by murdering them.
August 19, 2018 at 21:30
Fear is the only real deterrant.
August 19, 2018 at 21:29
okay, well what if someone raped a child and then murdered them? What if someone murdered another brutally in cold blood? They should still be treated...
August 19, 2018 at 21:28
Im not saying the USA should do this... But what if there were shootings of criminals? What if the punishment for a heinous crime like murdering a chi...
August 19, 2018 at 21:17
I'm sorry... Aaahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
August 19, 2018 at 21:04
Meaning that is not emotional is a game of signs and simulacra.
August 19, 2018 at 21:00
Well since you know the truth? What is Truth? And furthermore? How could you base an unequivocal knowledge of truth? And... If you can see the connect...

It was someone from Stanford I presume. There was no author posted.
August 19, 2018 at 20:41
This is an argument from bad faith. What of a woman happens to be physiologically sterile? Therefore she is not a woman? What if a woman has parts of ...
August 19, 2018 at 20:39
I am saying that it is a metaphor to say that neural activity creates a metaphor.
August 19, 2018 at 20:30
Be with another person who 'represents' these words. Be around them I mean. Engage in a real conversation about life and desire. Only in a respectful,...
August 19, 2018 at 20:25
Facticity impeding freedom is what Sartre calls Bad Faith.
August 19, 2018 at 20:20
The woman of liberty must free herself from two forms of imprisonment: one, the assumption that in order to be independent she must be like men, and t...
