By the way, I meant to say that I re-evaluated Marx from terrible to ok. At least he perceived the faults in capitalism, which is quite good especiall...
Plato didn't say moral distinctions come from the Form of the Good here (although they do, since everything comes from the Form of the Good). Yes, exc...
We're very close! :P Looks like you are a "Logician" - you are a pretty rare one too :P 3% of the population! I'm "Architect", I'm also rare at around...
I disagree, in true communism there is no private property. Distributism is based on private property, and maximising access to private property for e...
Wow wow wow slow down. That's metaphysics now, not ethics. You should compare ethics with ethics. And doesn't Plato say what Hume intended to only tha...
How is it a hard line? This is absolutely the standard line on sexuality that has been taken by all major religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.) includi...
Okay, so then let me ask you, how is Hume's analysis of morality better than Plato, when Hume is a mere character in Plato's dialogues? How is that po...
Plato already prefigured and transcended Hume if you would bother to read him. Hume grounded morality in public usefulness, which is similar to views ...
Yes they are in their relevant fields of study. More specifically they're helpful in allowing us to manipulate physical reality to do what we want to ...
Are you purposefully misinterpreting what I wrote? There's nothing wrong with having sex for pleasure, so long as at least one of its essential aims i...
That's not what I said though. I said he correctly diagnosed capitalism, but misinterpreted the diagnosis, and hence the solution he offered is wrong....
Why? Right, so did Aristotle for example. Except that Aristotle was an actual genius who pretty much produced all our known science for over 1000 year...
Yeahhh, what's so great about him? :s He misunderstood causality, he correctly understood that sentiment plays an important role in morality, and was ...
Plato and Aristotle made this distinction way before Kant ever opened his eyes - and they made it much better than Kant did. Transcendental idealism r...
Sure, but then economic freedom has little to do with product superiority and better marketing ability. Economic freedom simply means being able to ea...
Let's see what you said I did: There is no equating of casual sex with suicide and cannibalism up there. A comparison, illustrating how consent is irr...
Thank you I will look into him, however I must say I've become quite disillusioned with a lot of religious philosophy. There's several problems with i...
Truth and utility are somewhat related. I believe that Plato/Aristotle expressed the same insights, only better and more clearly, than Kant did while ...
I did? :-O When I deleted my old profile, all that was there was Wittgenstein, Hamann, and Democritus :P I have read some people saying it before as w...
I'm quite sure people don't drink because it's pleasurable (or they're thirsty), but rather because they're going to die if they don't. Obviously the ...
I am in support of it (largely), but I don't think it's a very effective ad. What makes it unconvincing is that it's too categorical, and appeals too ...
I quite agree with you. It's never going to be possible to be really well off from a job (excluding people who fight to reach very high up the corpora...
Haha, did I ever have Schop there? :P Yes, I took Witty off because I've been less impressed by his (and Hamann's) view of language as time went by - ...
I guess so lol... I only set my profile when I created my account here, and never bothered to change it after. But you're right, it feels like it's go...
Interesting opinion, however if you try you cannot cite one proper insult addressed to TL from me, yet her comments: And other such >:O . It's interes...
https://youtu.be/HM9PcVXkqG8?t=10s It has zero to do with what you said to Noble Dust, it has to do with how you think about your friends, quite clear...
Because you seem to be obsessed about saying things like that and it's not the first time you've said it, clearly. Most people don't think about peopl...
This is really besides the topics of discussion of this thread, but for example this kind of stuff: That's the latest time I noticed it, because we us...
No, I actually didn't, I said however that this may be possible, precisely because I don't know you well enough to say for certain. Hence why I said: ...
Why do you think that? How is it my projection? This is what I noticed from your own stories, and I said it may be a possibility. Does it seem to you ...
Yes, but I think this is a problem for you. From the amount of time you spend talking about men on these forums, it seems that you are at least obsess...
I think most people have quite a capacity to handle those terms, but it seems you don't. Wrong, that is just a specific instance of actualising and it...
Does anyone have access to this book please? Or do you know where it can be purchased for much cheaper? Please PM me. https://www.amazon.com/Kierkegaa...
Maybe but in your great magnanimity, I'm sure you could indulge those two rams to liven up the atmosphere at the wedding :D We will not disturb you wh...
You mean Stage 3 Kidney Disease? I've never heard of it called as stage 3 kidney failure in my part of the world, and I'm quite literate for a non-doc...
What don't you understand by the expression actualise the potential for communion? You don't understand what a human potential is? Go read Aristotle a...
No sexy time, sorry. It is not a semantic trick at all. Giving birth to a child cannot be wrong since the child is not harmed. Something wrong would b...
