No, I'm just finding it incredibly funny that you call me a racist :) So how does that make me a racist? Can you please explain? If you like vanilla i...
How can God be a totalitarian tyrant? Totalitarian tyranny implies unlawful and immoral use of power. But God is justified to use His power however He...
But wait Noble Dust, is it bad if an ignoramous ignores you? Instead of crying, may it not be that you need to rejoice at the possibility, and proceed...
I don't think the job necessarily would be cheater help, but I can probably agree that if someone was looking to do such a thing full-time then that w...
Please quit writing in bold, it certainly doesn't make what you say any truer. This is a huge red herring and non sequitur. I specifically told you I ...
:s I never claimed it was better in that sense. But living in a world where we all have such possibilities but they are rendered meaningless (because ...
>:O At least, back 200 years ago, a doctor who finished medical school didn't have to slave away for 10s of years before he could become a full-time d...
To follow? As in be their disciple? None. But some have very interesting things to say, though not on all topics. Anastasios, Iconodule, GiC, Fr. Geor...
What do we mean to "know" evil? Because there's two different senses here. One is to know that something is evil - which we can know even before the F...
Yes, I am familiar with his use of aletheia. Yes, I would disagree with Heidegger here that Being is historical. Being obviously reveals itself throug...
Oh yes, I would like if they actually kept their standards, but that's precisely why I said they are hypocritical with regards to plagiarism. I'm just...
Ah precisely, so he's trying to sell me a wine bottle, only that he's replaced the wine with water. I see. Why would Truth have a history? Quite the c...
But those who do the work themselves, get rewarded by knowing more anyway. If there's some buffoons who choose not to learn, what's the problem? I thi...
What if philosophy doesn't have a trajectory? What if Truth is, like I said, perennial? So it's always about recovering this same Truth, and not about...
Okay, it's interesting to discuss the ethics of this. To me, educational institutions always appeared very hypocritical with regards to plagiarism. I ...
That's one reason why I never had that much appreciation for the historical philosophers thinking here primarily of Hegel and Heidegger. They are arch...
He probably did know a lot of Plato, but not Aristotle. Sure, but ultimately he did break from the Frege, Russell, et al. clique especially by the tim...
>:O I might actually have experience with that work >:) But lower pay :P . Although it is true that for dissertation + paper writing it's hard to find...
Not complete independence, but I can give you examples of philosophers who did not study seemingly very important philosophers. For example Wittgenste...
That can be quite profitable if you get the rich students to pay :P . Do you do things like dissertation writing, paper writing too, or only honest st...
Thank you, that may actually be one of the smarter things I've said, usually it's a bit dumber :) That might be so, but it may also be a large mistake...
You are correct with regards to Calvin, but not so with regards to Aquinas. Aquinas did allow for truths that are beyond our understanding and that we...
Yes, but don't forget about the Second Coming of Christ. Christ will not be "humiliated" and crucified that time. It seems to me again that you're ref...
No, that wouldn't follow. I didn't say humans are beyond good and evil, I said God is beyond good and evil. We have been given commandments to follow ...
When it says, for example in the Psalms - "Taste and see that the Lord is good!" - that refers to the fact that God is maximally great. When I say God...
Yes, it would be wrong to say that. Because it would fail to see that God is beyond good and evil, the Creator of both, who rules over both. It would ...
I agree. Only God knows and decides who deserves what. Not because of this. You don't seem to get it. God is SUPREME - He doesn't need to ask you for ...
I find it curious that Nietzsche out of all people did not cure you of your weakness which perpetually demands salvation as if you or anyone deserved ...
There is a difference between something that is a doctrine and something that is a hope. Universalism is the doctrine that all will be saved. That doc...
Nobody would disagree with this, it's just that the other virtues that are predicated by Thomistic-Aristotelian philosophy do stem from love anyway. T...
Yes, his belief that none will be eternally damned is his hope that all will be saved. He doesn't claim to know that all will be saved, which would be...
Because we should pray and hope that all will be saved, we shouldn't wish anyone to be damned. What does "better" mean? Sure, but a vice is a failure ...
Why does he wonder then? Wonder only makes sense if he doesn't understand how it will happen. Sure, but there's a reason why he ultimately sided with ...
Oh yeah, what seems to be the issue >:O So you too share Nietzsche's admiration for "aristocratic" morality where joy is found in inflicting pain on o...
:s I doubt it. He does hope all will be saved, but that doesn't make him a universalist. You do have a tendency to brush off such distinctions :P But ...
Oh yes, some are great archivers, no doubt about it. But an archiver isn't remarked by originality and genius. There are some great things in Heidegge...
LOL, I was just writing the below yesterday but hadn't posted: "Can we have an "UnModerated" category like old PF? It would be sort of like the Feedba...
Yes, at least not in a Christian sense. He also said he aspires to be a Christian and greatly desires to be one, but avoided calling himself one. If y...
I've never read the Will to Power but I did give it a brief look after you told me to look into it, and skipped through its contents here and there to...
No it has nothing to do with our discussion it has to do with my discussion with Erik which you can read here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussi...
