Just added my opinion, and my opinion is in accordance with those arguments because I disagree with changes. Main focus should be on the arguments, th...

So, changes are needed? Which changes then?

Are you trying to say that by being moral relativist you do not oppose moral objectivism? That's a very shy approach indeed, to even imply such thing....

That's very anti-philosophical to me. Not using philosophical reflection in order to come to the conclusion of a philosophical problem is just ignoran...

Can moral relativism disprove moral objectivism? It does seem that moral objectivists try to prove the objectivity but moral relativists just say that...

Ted Talk is just a cheap fast food for brains of thought consumers. In other words, it is designed for people who are not well read and will never eng...

Definitely in the wrong one. Collectivism is the worst thing that could've ever happened to our society. New silent totalitarian regime. Lack of searc...

Even if they don't present a final definition, they don't start denying that there is a true/objective good, do they? It still is there for them, it's...

Why do moral relativists think of morals at all? It does seem that moral relativism goes against itself because it'll start disproving it's own reason...

The question would then be if the existence can be without its essense. My answer is no. What do you mean by this? Do you imply that essense of a huma...

It does not relieve him of thinking. He, himself, decided not to think. Regardless of any circumstances, it is his decision. His thoughts may be irrel...

Hope sounds very desperate to me. It seems to be a comfortable approach to problems that would eventually end up without any solution. Hoping and beli...

I agree with ''What can I know?'' But I don't see much sense in the following questions. What if I can only know that I don't know what I should do, a...

'Ability to accept what is' - That's what Camus described as 'philosophical suicide'. By finding something transcendent, one can get too complacent. C...

Later on in the essay, Camus remarks that life does not need a meaning in order to be lived, and can, in fact, be 'better' without a meaning. That is ...

Schopenhauer's and Nietzsche's Will is not God. Let alone the fact that your interpretation of God is completely different to their interpretation of ...
