That is a good question. The How along with What kind of help, Why the need for it. I tried to fill this out earlier and posed more questions. Perhaps...
Very happy to have my brain tickled and my ears nibbled, thank you very much :smile: It's great to read your thoughts and feel the energy of such pass...
Thanks 180. Good to be with you again. Of course, the first question I should have asked was 'What is a Socratic philosopher?' and what does it mean t...
Thanks, Paine, for the link and introduction to The Statesman. I read some of it and also a little from: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/plato-soph...
Yes, it is appalling and Bannon is dangerous. As is our own Farage, leader of Reform UK which is not a party as such but a company of which he is dire...
Ah. Yet another case of being wrong-footed. There is a pattern to the discussion. It is valuable to observe and learn from it. Use of only certain asp...
https://iep.utm.edu/fem-epis/ In general, this is a philosophical article. That is not to say there are no political elements. I am not sure how you r...
Thanks for clarifying your position. The philosophy of the IEP article you linked to concerns feminist epistemology. 'Feminist approaches to epistemol...
OK. So your 'scoring' is not about winning a philosophical argument against any other player. How then do you know how far you have upped your thinkin...
But it seems you do. If you liken it to tennis then it is a game to be won or lost, depending on improvement of skills. The end goal is some kind of a...
Perhaps there is no specific goal - more of an open-ended exploration of what posters take from the questions posed? It could lead nowhere or everywhe...
Who wants or needs to know The Good or The Truth? These are only concepts bounced around by crazy philosophers or doubled-down crazed religious types....
Interesting. Where do you mostly find this connection? How different would you expect them to be? Doesn't it depend on what is meant by the terms? I h...
Indeed. And if I hadn't moved past my initial disgruntled feelings (not standards) to discover more, then I would have missed out. It takes an open mi...
A good question. It depends, as always, on what is meant by 'philosophy'. There is something about the word itself. It attracted me, like the word 'ab...
Just as not everyone agrees on what is the 'Greatest Music' at any given point in their lives... What matters is being given the opportunity to listen...
Music to my ears! Your excellent philosophy piece shows you are on top form. If you never write anything else, you could rest easy in the knowledge th...
A pleasure to give you the feedback you deserve. Re the changes: I prefer 'The Tithe Man' - he sounds more ominous and could be the title of a Stephen...
Thank you for this reveal. I loved hearing how a 'seed-line' works: So, 'I dream of Simon' came at night. You did so well to capture the Irishness and...
Exactly. Remember what the tale of the monkey's paw is all about. The unintended consequences of human wishes. Or how our consumer choices have wreake...
No need to promise that. That that is one of your main aims has been noted. It's fantastic that some people help you with that. And that the practice ...
I'm glad you added your positivity. And there are plenty others too. If only @"javi2541997" would look and appreciate this. Here's an example from @"B...
:smile: I think writers appreciate and learn from comments made and questions asked. It seems to me that there has been an increased effort and enjoym...
Yes, thank you. There's a lot here to take in. Others, here, will no doubt chime in. There seems to be so much of this kind of thinking going on. Drea...
Yes. Hanover has a real talent and gift for writing. That much is obvious. I wonder if he will rise to the challenge of @"hypericin" and write a story...
I do love it when I 'get' someone's story. Thanks for the explanation of the piano-filled house. A surreal experience sticking with you from the age o...
Yeah, the introduction was amazing! Are you talking about me and Vera? I can't speak for Vera but I think we both struggled with imagining and relatin...
Thank you for the explanation. I've followed all your stories and this one, as you say, is a departure. Well done for moving on. I enjoyed it and love...
Yes. I don't usually pick favourites but this one stays with me. There is something immensely satisfying that my words can't express. Thank you @"Vera...
Congratulations @"ToothyMaw". Another excellent story :sparkle: I'd love that too but not sure it will come. Previously: https://thephilosophyforum.co...
Or a devil in disguise. Understood. But don't you simply feel the need to express yourself, first and foremost? No sweat! Change the image please to t...
Thank you for that and sharing the link. Who knew that 'Cellar Door' could mean so much? Many Congratulations! It fascinates me to hear of authors who...
I can't remember how it worked before. If you see other people's votes or not. But even if you did, the issue is about 'influence'. If it's at the end...
It is a pity that you were not motivated by the numerous readers who gave wonderful, positive comments. Perhaps if you returned to the discussion and ...
The 1-5 system is clearly more complex than a 1-3. There was no clarification of criteria. All competitions so far have been 'distracted' by those who...
I understand the perception of so-called 'failure' and a damaged ego. It needs to be put into perspective. Look at who is judging. What is their exper...
I agree with all of this :100: Thank you for the clarity, all the hard work and keeping it simple. :flower: It is also not just for writers but for re...
Brilliant. I think that's allowed. I think it's called 'intertextuality' or something. Of course... but...he could be more... Hmm. Close your eyes for...
And that is why most people would vote 3 or the middle ground. It saves them from thinking about what lies beneath the curve. Perhaps 5 ain't so bad a...
