"Death is the most complete act of being". That could have be written by Sartre himself

If the world is put in relation with the mind, then the result can be correctly stated by saying the mind (subjectivity) and its object are really the...

The soul participates in the body as much as any object participates in itself. Something without parts can't subsist on it's own. The world is what i...

Can't God make you wrong is this discussion without informing you? So you don't know you're right
July 14, 2021 at 04:47
If they draft you will you go with the men or women battalions?
July 14, 2021 at 04:27
How do you know what adults know?
July 14, 2021 at 04:25
Just because there are different ways the male and female form can be does not mean that there is not truly two forms and it certainly doesn't there a...

Adults know certain things instinctively. Philosophy is about debating higher opaque questions that people have long pondered about

People claim now that their inner animal is their identity. What's your argument against them?
July 14, 2021 at 04:09
Also, I can tell one someone has committed a crime. You got a problem if you can't
July 14, 2021 at 04:05
You are asking me to prove something obvious. It's not my fault you have a psychological disorder. Maybe you'll start claiming you are a gorilla and a...

What if I sleep with a 14 year old and tell the police "my ID says I'm 35 but I identity as a 14 year old so I did nothing wrong". People need to cont...

The soul is the identity of the whole biological organism of a human
July 14, 2021 at 03:52
The new generation doesn't like rules. That what complete existentialism where they can decide what they are in nature and decide for themselves what ...
July 14, 2021 at 03:05
Truth doesn't care about what you feel. I know that I am male because my soul is male. A person either has a male soul or a female soul. That is reali...
July 14, 2021 at 02:59
If someone can decide for themselves if their essence is male or female or a combination, why can't they decide their own age? Just saying
July 13, 2021 at 23:18
I've never thought of Platonist as Kantian but maybe they are. Does...: Matter=phenomena and Ideas=noumena? I loosely think this way but I wonder if t...
July 13, 2021 at 19:32
Kant had his intuitions and his guiding imagination. The imagination was governed by understanding the the higher power of reason/intellect. (knowledg...
July 13, 2021 at 19:30
Good post. Kant, Schelling, Hegel, and Kierkegaard has to sense to know "the doctrines of Christianity have no proof whatsoever for them" but they rec...
July 13, 2021 at 19:25
Very interesting. Kant truly started philosophy imo
July 13, 2021 at 19:16
They don't use their intellects. They have poor introspective and honesty because they are trying to have faith and this bubbly faith they bring up in...
July 13, 2021 at 19:08
Universality is talked much about by Kant's successors
July 13, 2021 at 18:56
So can we say that objects in themselves could be perceived by us through our space/time intuitions had it not been for transcendental additions we ne...
July 13, 2021 at 18:39
I engage with the argument and logic parts of these questions. In politics you have to take into account both sides
July 13, 2021 at 01:22
Yes the Ideas/Forms are in things and in the mind. But is that all there is or is there true matter?
July 13, 2021 at 00:39
They are not empirical but are either the noumena of the world or the noumena of our minds. In either case they are transcendental
July 12, 2021 at 23:37
Jesus said God abandoned him on the cross. He became an atheist as he died and might have been saved. I hope for immortality and want people to be sav...
July 12, 2021 at 23:34
That's not God. That looks like my friend who is dying of lung cancer (well, back in his good days)
July 12, 2021 at 23:31
It sees itself bestow necessity and universality on noumena. Whether the noumena of us is the noumena of the world is the Pandora box question opened ...
July 12, 2021 at 23:28
Atheists can have faith in false things. All faith will make weak arguments seem strong. That's my point.
July 12, 2021 at 23:10
The mind bestows all upon the noumena, but the relationship between the mind apart from phenomena to the noumena of the world is the question Reinhold...
July 12, 2021 at 23:03
Atheists think rationally while Christians juice up their minds with their emotional minds so that they can't see when they have no argument which cou...
July 12, 2021 at 22:42
Not everybody has guilt problems because you can clean up your karma if you desire. Christianity is all about religious tingles designed by their art ...
July 12, 2021 at 22:10
Since nearly every Christian alive has a guilt complex and uses the religion for childish tingling sensations that make they feel as if they are actua...
July 12, 2021 at 20:55
He said in the OP he is Christian because it gives him tingles. That's building your house on sand if there ever was such a thing
July 12, 2021 at 19:10
There are many arguments that show God is not needed as an explanation. There are arguments against Christianity. It is legit to rehearsh these becaus...
July 12, 2021 at 18:01
Even most Christians will say that having faith in order to feel fuzzy is sin
July 12, 2021 at 16:01
And sometimes trying to find happiness can be immoral
July 12, 2021 at 15:41
Because at least half of theist push their beliefs on others
July 12, 2021 at 15:40
First, objects don't have potentiality. They have actuality in a form which can change to something else. That doesn't mean they have potentiality wit...

We were discussing the God as explained by Bartricks
July 12, 2021 at 14:03
How do you know your hair is not Aristotle? Your position is against common sense because your God is without any rules or even common sense.. You bel...
July 12, 2021 at 05:16
You have no logical reason believing you have a real past
July 12, 2021 at 04:12
We were talking about God, not you. If we don't know what will happen at all as it is the case with God we treat it as 50/50. We all do that
July 12, 2021 at 03:59
I can't believe I have to spell this out. If God can do anything then he can change the past. So it's as likely you never had parents as that you did....
July 12, 2021 at 03:21
We were talking about God acting not you So you reject all history because "God" can make the past different from what he was. Descartes just as likel...
July 12, 2021 at 03:01
So every second that follows in the future has a 50/50 chance of staying consistent? And what about the past? If God can do contradictions "she" can m...
July 12, 2021 at 02:47
Yet you say you are Cartesian. Descartes thought God couldn't lie to him about what he say around him and how people were. Yet your God of Contradicti...
