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...
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...
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...
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...
I think we all know that any 'Big Thinker' in philosophy, theology or science can have 'Dangerous Ideas'. Especially those which challenge the status ...
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...
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...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
Thanks for your carefully considered 'For' and 'Against' views re: tighter standards on inflammatory posts in political discussions. I'll just pick ou...
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...
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...
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....
But some might like to think they are :wink: Not asking for the 10 Commandments. Only to consider a simple question and give feedback re: Also follow-...
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 ...
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...
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...
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 ...
Aw, that's Love Actually :hearts: He is someone who definitely left his mark. Not gonna mention where... I've not forgotten him and I bet others have ...
@"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...
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 ...
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'...
