Okay but you used the word "medication" which is pills. The point is that pills aren't always used to treat depression, and there are other options av...
Im saddened to see Plato top Aristotle :P Ah Deleuze is even missing from the list...You should've picked Deleuze's Prince of the Philosophers maybe :...
But medicine isn't always given to the clinically depressed, you're ignoring that fact. Some people get better spontaneously, by themselves, others fi...
No you don't get it. The point isn't that they are logical possibilities - which they could be for all I care. The problem is that according to modal ...
:-O .................................................... I can't believe what I just read... I think people can't be fucked to even disagree with Desc...
Well it usually sells in the form of Lithium Orotate, which are capsules 130-120mg in active content. That translates to roughly 5mg of lithium. What ...
Not from the reference frame of our own life. From the reference frame of our own life, there is no death - there is no end, because we will never exp...
He had a very sensitive morality about him, not to mention that he was conflicted because of his mother's views of his relationship. I'm not sure beca...
Yes your level is much lower than what would sometimes be given for bipolar. But that doesn't mean that it is inconsequential. As I said, I've heard a...
I'm not a doctor either, but I have studied medicine for quite a long time and have spoken to a few doctors. Regarding lithium - it does have potentia...
I think you should maybe have a look in the mirror. I never said this one is begging the question: But rather this one is begging the question: Now I ...
lol kiddie, give me a break, please... Yes this argument is formally valid, however it isn't sound, because premise 1 is false. No - that's called beg...
Well sure, but it depends. I agree if you're starving, you have no roof over your head, you're out in the cold, and so forth - like some beggars, then...
Logic lesson 1. Arguments don't have a single premise. Arguments always involve more than one premise. Premises in arguments cannot be proved, because...
No, that's not an argument, that's called begging the question. Furthermore could an idiot be "intelligent"? >:O The burden of proof is on you to prov...
Yeah sure, you can disappear from the Earth and appear on Mars tomorrow as well. Does that mean anything? No. Logical possibility doesn't tell us anyt...
First, the conclusion is inconsequential, even if the premises are true (for the conclusion to be consequential you have to show me that not only CAN ...
And this isn't modal realism by the way. To be modal realism you have to prove to me that possible worlds not only CAN exist, but actually do exist. I...
The particular group of people who you're pointing to (and please not that not everyone who is depressed belongs to this group) are depressed mostly b...
Actually I gave quite specific criticism. Which is fair - because modal realism wants to create an infinity of unnecessary entities - the possible wor...
Yeah in some possible world, I'm sure it does >:O In this world, Lewis is dead, so he can't do anything. He can only do stuff in the possible worlds i...
Yes, or maybe what Lewis says is useless bullshit. Why does Lewis' metaphysics matter? He has no way to prove there exists even another single possibl...
>:O The problem with Descartes is that he got almost nothing right. His ideas are the absolute worst that probably any philosopher has had. Cartesian ...
The forms are immaterial only qua universals - ie in the mind. But the forms as they are in particular objects aren't immaterial. They are just the st...
Obviously because by the principle of contradiction, nothing can be eliminated, and every A has a ~A. But again that's saying nothing significant. It'...
His possible worlds metaphysics is a muddle. He refuses to answer what the metaphysics actually are, and instead throws up his hands and goes like - "...
It's between Plato, Aristotle and Kant. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't have a clue what they're talking about. All other great philosophers can be ...
The only one I like is Anscombe - so she gets my vote! Anscombe has profound things to say. Maybe I would've picked Philippa Foot but she's not on the...
This is so false though - what about Aquinas's commentaries on Aristotle's works? On Metaphysica, on De Anima, and so forth? Classify him in relation ...
Eh not by today's standards. In his day, sure old Augustine used to have lots of sex as a young man, but it was mostly (perhaps always) with the same ...
It's probably Kant, with Spinoza/Schopenhauer as close seconds from the list you have given. Though I suppose there are some who will vote Hume. Nietz...
But I thought you are a person "who hates capitalism" :P Ahh too late, you edited your post. It's quite a good book. From memory it has very interesti...
There's more than one book with that title? I'm referring to the economics one - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filthy_Lucre:_Economics_for_People_Who_...
It's their intentions that matter more than behaviour. Their intentions - like worms - grow in their heart, and give birth to immorality. However, for...
I'm curious if Kant is getting voted by both theists and atheists in this poll, and hence winning because of it. It's very possible to vote for Kant a...
