Nothing?

:lol: So true :up:
August 29, 2022 at 08:45
Why do you ask? Do you want to join in? On my backburner is the comment from Paine: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/733690 Kaufman t...
August 29, 2022 at 08:42
Indeed. Where in a forum book discussion should this kind of thing be raised? My preference would be in the OP. Then, bearing that in mind, the partic...
August 29, 2022 at 08:35
What do you mean by that?
August 29, 2022 at 08:28
Oh, indeed...no flies on you! I thought I had already linked to The Contents, pp7-9 of pdf. I didn't realise that your came from 'The Speeches of Zara...
August 29, 2022 at 08:25
Timely and helpful: The 'something there in the text' as the source of different interpretations and critical appraisal is key. That is one reason for...

The beauty of reading from a pdf is its searchability.
August 28, 2022 at 19:37
Are you talking about this thread or TPF? Why to either?
August 28, 2022 at 18:13
Yes, this also puzzled me. Perhaps there is a missing link, or two, in the logic?
August 28, 2022 at 18:01
I think we all know that any 'Big Thinker' in philosophy, theology or science can have 'Dangerous Ideas'. Especially those which challenge the status ...

That's what I said :nerd: It might not be an ethical issue but one relating to a chronic mental health problem.

It might not be an ethical issue but one relating to a chronic mental health problem. He probably hates every minute of his goddamned job, his life, a...

All of a sudden I heard the proclamation: "The king is dead, long live the king!" But this new 'king' is not a continuation of the previous. Z is not ...

A religious drama. I see Charlton Heston with his wild, white woolly hair and beard as Moses in the Ten Commandments! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

The first proclamation of Z to the marketplace crowd (gathered to be entertained by a tightrope walker). “I teach you the overman..." ( note 3) What o...
August 28, 2022 at 08:10
I agree. That's exactly what I was meaning. Exactly. Cheers :party:
August 27, 2022 at 20:51
Thank you. I wrote a long reply and then lost it. It ended with a deep appreciation of all that the mods have to endure. This discussion has been an e...

A one-word response indicating agreement with a heady cocktail of sour lemon and cherry twist? See my disagreement above. Last evening post. Cheers :p...
August 27, 2022 at 18:27
Really?! No, it can't be so :lol:
August 27, 2022 at 17:59
Yeah, and that's another piece of name-calling, innit? The not-cool look :wink: Along with the pejorative 'Nanny State'. OK, I'm done here. Said more ...
August 27, 2022 at 17:58
Really?
August 27, 2022 at 17:53
So, you don't see TPF as a meeting place where philosophical subjects are debated and discussed? You don't see the social element in The Shoutbox and ...
August 27, 2022 at 17:53
Hi Srap. Sorry I won't be able to address every excellent point you made. Suffice to say, I am in general agreement. Again, I agree that increased vig...
August 27, 2022 at 17:23
Thanks for your carefully considered 'For' and 'Against' views re: tighter standards on inflammatory posts in political discussions. I'll just pick ou...
August 27, 2022 at 16:30
Really great to see such excellent communication of thoughts. The Ukraine was the very worst of examples; I doubt we will see the like again but we mi...
August 27, 2022 at 15:44
It really is as simple as looking at what seems to be current policy and questioning it. Not editing as such, just being a bit more aware of what's go...
August 27, 2022 at 13:00
I'm guessing most of the mods and participants are passed the point of giving a damn as well. So it all balances out nicely. I'm always curious as to ...

It's not about occasional passionate exchanges but extended 'vitriol and inflamed tempers' in a political discussion about a serious event or subject....

:up: I await your guidance and questions... :nerd:
August 27, 2022 at 10:58

As a reminder: *** I'm trying to work out how long it will take. I joined 2 days ago. To read the book only: The Cambridge pdf starts at p49 and ends ...
August 27, 2022 at 08:20
Now that made me smile :cool:
August 27, 2022 at 02:26
If the Prologue is 'thick' with lots of ideas does that mean that once mastered, the rest of the book is easier to get through? A walk in the park :wi...
August 27, 2022 at 02:24
Yes, I understand that. I've been there and done that with other book discussions. Trouble is when there are too many and people start arguing the tos...
August 26, 2022 at 21:20
Fixed. Removal of . between 'germane' and 'in'.
August 26, 2022 at 21:16
Thanks. The 'germane' link isn't working.
August 26, 2022 at 21:13
Me no understand Nerdish :groan:
August 26, 2022 at 21:06
As interesting as all this is, can I ask that the thread sticks to the title and OP, TSZ: Reading? If you want to talk about N, possibly start another...

Oh, I missed that. It's beautiful. Soothing :sparkle: *** Part of 'Aretha Franklin: A Tribute to the Queen of Soul at the Proms'. Amazing :fire: 1 hr ...

@"Benkei" Well, you got my response but so far nothing from @"180 Proof"? Are you waiting for him? It's been 14 days. Where are you? Searching for ins...
August 26, 2022 at 18:56
Thank you.
August 26, 2022 at 16:48
This is just a general comment, not related to the current dispute of which I know nothing. However, when complaints were made concerning the Ukraine ...
August 26, 2022 at 16:45
The author's own repetition of the expressed incantations makes us stop and think. Just as Plato's does...to charm the readers to think again... Or I'...

I can't thank you enough for putting me through this hell :nerd: Seeing N in a new light :sparkle:

That is one powerful statement. :fire:
