>:O >:O The funny thing is that the boss actually agrees with Borat, but he's trying to be politically correct - that's the irony in all the Borat cli...

Then what do you mean? What is this "insight" that you are talking about, and how does it relate to the rest of the world? Again, we live in this worl...
February 19, 2017 at 22:48
That depends. With the advent of technology and modernity there has been a division produced in culture. There is popular culture - the media, TV, Hol...

What I mean by brings down the distinction is this... In my reading: Hegel maintains the Kantian Subjective Logic whereby the Subject and the Object a...
February 19, 2017 at 22:42
I don't think it actually does, as you know. So there is even disagreement about this, because there are others like me as well. :s You mean naval gaz...

Trump is just learning the system. This is perfectly normal. No one who hasn't been President before actually knows what is possible, what isn't possi...

Actually Sappy... what do you think: http://i-6uf0utvje8gy-cdn.plushcontent.com/uploads/files/y3/bf21z48zzokasor7.png http://i-6uf0utvje8gy-cdn.plushc...

Well I take cultural matters to be very important, possibly more important than economic matters, as in no point resolving economic issues, if we can'...
February 19, 2017 at 22:00
I agree >:) I'm only right on cultural matters. Economically I'm quite leftie - including on global warming for that matter.

Why, you would be a great asset! One just has to activate you for the right cause >:O

I might rule Britain one day actually... if the EU becomes more united - and we become the United States of Europe - and we invade you little traitors...

I think the British Labour Party should activate you, and unleash you on the streets of Britain. You'd be a force to be reckoned with you know... if y...

And Spinoza actually corrected this by not calling Substance a "thing"... ;)
February 19, 2017 at 21:15
Man Sappy, you'd actually make a great political activist, I swear >:O
February 19, 2017 at 21:13
Man, see - butt-hurt liberals are fun to watch :P Scientists have no business in political decisions. They can at most inform, and if they're trying t...

By the way this is a good review of the book: http://ndpr.nd.edu/news/32325-hegel-or-spinoza-2/ Read it, and then if you're interested, buy the book i...

"Substance: A thing whose existence is dependent on no other thing" - This is virtually the same as Spinoza's definition of substance, and therefore e...

There's good things and bad things in candidates. More good in Trump than bad when compared to Crooked.
February 19, 2017 at 18:39
Yes, but much farther from certainty for sure. Hence the two things aren't equivalent. Yes, if you are going to be very thorough about it. Hence why I...

No - one of them is about certain life and death. The other is about some remote possibility of life and death in 100 years... :-} Future generations ...

Yes, to folks who read uncharitably. I never actually suggested so, if you read what I actually wrote. :-} Don't be silly. It's one thing to desire an...

Where did I hold one shouldn't be in favor of X in the absence of certainty? :s

Yes the state of nature is brutish bla bla, correct. So people accept the limitation of the law, only because the state of nature is a greater evil - ...

Are you trying to bring me to the dark side? :-O >:O

I agree, however on a not so serious note >:) , running a shagathon with her doesn't sound like a bad idea >:O >:O :-O
February 19, 2017 at 09:37
It's not just making Kant comprehensible, it's also synthesising Kant with other philosophers.
February 19, 2017 at 09:19
Yes, but it is a different style of presentation that is at stake. Spinoza gives a completed system, Hegel gives a Phenomenology - the process of comp...
February 19, 2017 at 09:18
I never asked you to prove anything. I just asked you to show me where Plato approves of social contract theory. I don't think that link is adequate. ...
February 19, 2017 at 08:55
:s I agree with Hegel's conception of how we access the noumenon, not with some of his other positions. This is in fact no different than the Spinozis...
February 19, 2017 at 08:40
Well there's a few things here. First of all, I'm not a public person - an educator by virtue of the number of people I reach and who imitate me - the...
February 19, 2017 at 08:28
Right, so I agree with that objection to Kant that you have listed, in the way you have phrased it too. Allow me to explain. Kant goes at length in th...
February 19, 2017 at 08:17
Plato had absolutely no notion of social contracts. Furthermore, Greeks didn't have a developed notion of individuality to begin with... These are jus...
February 18, 2017 at 23:29
No I said cautious because I actually do believe in global warming and do think it's a problem that needs to be addressed. By addressing it, we're jus...
February 18, 2017 at 22:20
What is that supposed to mean?
February 18, 2017 at 22:13
You and Kant, but Hegel, Schopenhauer, and Spinoza before, all rebelled against this separation of noumenon from phenomenon, and granting access only ...
February 18, 2017 at 22:11
It seems to me this is nothing but the typical Hegelian critique. But this is not the correct notion of Spinozist Substance. Substance is not an absol...
February 18, 2017 at 22:03
This is nowhere specified in Plato, this is your own typically modern import. Plato didn't believe the individual represents the state, rather he mean...

You are speculating when you claim that the appointment of whoever in whatever position will cause deaths for "future generations" - that's empty rhet...
February 18, 2017 at 21:20
I mean certainly I don't have to justify this. Abortion is certain death for the child. Appointing someone in whatever function isn't certain anything...

With that kind of speculative certainty, I don't think you should ever try your hand in gambling ;) All I can do is laugh :P
