That's what Kant said and I like his philosophy.

The mysticism of the world can provide a ground for morality. The word "dead" refers to a mammal that has died. I don't see matter as "dead" but havin...

I'm serious. Why do you care what I think anyway? If it bothers you maybe there is something you need to discover about yourself. I'm wasn't referring...
May 08, 2021 at 17:48
I wouldn't mind but that's beside the point. We are becoming a valueless society where women want themselves to be dominant and men to be submissive e...

Punishment hurts but it can save the criminal. As for the kissing thing, I don't see how a real man can claim he was sexually assaulted by a girl's ki...

That matter is about social policy, not logical proof

I don't really know how homosexuals and lesbians are. I don't really understand them well. But women certainly aren't weak, they are just different fr...

Women and men are different; lot of people want to say they are exactly the same apart from body, but that's just ridiculous

IVF doesn't inherently have to lead to death and disregard to life.
May 08, 2021 at 16:18
It's not hard to understand. If they think their actions will lead to a situation where they reasonably need to let embryos die then that should be il...

Women and men are not the same. If a man is talking and the woman suddenly kisses him, that is not sexual assault. The other way around it is sexual a...

Then it's wrong. You don't know how this stuff works because you are pro-choice. You don't understand how this matters work at all
May 08, 2021 at 01:33
That's how I interpret Kant There are two types of pure (real) idealists: those who believe that reality is all thought and those who believe our thou...
May 08, 2021 at 01:32
I'm not sure he does. Hegel seems to in most people's reading of him, but I don't think he is a pure idealist, nor Heidegger. I've never heard of Heid...

We shouldn't do it if it leads to deaths. It's been like talking to a wall. I've answered your questions like 8 times already
May 07, 2021 at 23:34
If I leave someone behind on a dangerous journey because i have to, that is not the same as shooting him in the head. And as for women, I don't think ...

Social death penalty is not murder
May 07, 2021 at 23:30
Kant's basic idea was a union of the thought of Parmenides and Heraclitus such the the world was both subjective and objective, and thus beyond both. ...
May 07, 2021 at 03:01
I don't think anyone has added anything to Kant. Hegel, Heidegger, and maybe Husserrl (who I don't know much about) have just taken the basic idea dee...
May 07, 2021 at 02:48
I agree that spirit and soul come from biology but emergence creates a whole new level of reality. I'm an atheist but I believe in spirit and soul and...
May 07, 2021 at 01:59
There is no noumema, only appearance, but being is becoming and becoming is being. Phenomenology as I see it started with Kant and was developed very ...

Whether the abortion doctor is female or not does not matter. I don't know if we can judge pregnant women in their abortion decisions but we can judge...

I know how this forum works. I have 3000 posts and 100 threads. Studying philosophy is a big part of my life and I have a unique approach it seems in ...
May 02, 2021 at 23:19
The only people I called Nazis was, firstly, you because you did not hesitate to say "I'd be perfectly willing to kill a pre-sentient foetus". That's ...
May 02, 2021 at 21:37
I genuinely don't hate you but I don't know what you want from this conversation. I'm not sure I'm willing to discuss philosophy for hours on end in h...
May 02, 2021 at 18:27
If someone spends years studying philosophy without knowing they have a soul then they've dug themselves into a deep hole. Philosophy can be very dang...
May 02, 2021 at 17:52
If you can't feel your soul you can't know philosophy. I read Kant to Hegel, who were obviously atheists who COULD feel their souls and knew morality ...
May 02, 2021 at 17:46
Babies have brain waves and heart beats by ten weeks, so that establishes (one would assume) that you can't kill them at that point. Knowing that the ...
May 02, 2021 at 15:52
Brains are not necessary for sentience. Like I have said many times on this forum, dividing the line between Christian philosophy and common materiali...

All pro-lifers can do is indicate the way. Try debating an Islamic terrorist and you'll see how that is
May 02, 2021 at 02:23
That's a very wicked way to define autonomy. And you say suicide doesn't destroy the soul? Well there are messed up people poising as philosophers eve...
May 02, 2021 at 00:44
Sure it is
May 02, 2021 at 00:26
I had a thread on randomness and I think you making a joke lol, because you did participate with some great observation. I don't know how they can rul...
May 02, 2021 at 00:26
What about the autonomy of the baby?
May 02, 2021 at 00:14
They pick random samples sometimes in physics but if our will is predetermined nothing we do is random like that. Non local variables are ones we can'...
May 02, 2021 at 00:13
It's weird how grown adults can be so ignorant of moral rules. But then again, considering how miserable everyone seems in this society it makes sense
May 02, 2021 at 00:10
Abortion isn't mercy killing firstly. Also, are you for suicide?
May 02, 2021 at 00:06
I've seen videos saying Bell's theorem is about randomness. Maybe it's too complex to explain to non-physicists. The PBS spacetime series said Bell hi...

Babies have heart beats and brain waves by the tenth week. They are alive and sentient at conception.
May 01, 2021 at 23:57
It's not about insults. Your abortion stance is contrary to what your soul tells you.
May 01, 2021 at 23:54
If there is some way to save the embryos we must do it instead of taking away what we give to it for it to live
May 01, 2021 at 19:39
To that a pre-born entity is a person but that a mother can kill her offspring before birth shows no respect for motherhood or babies. I want to repea...
May 01, 2021 at 19:18
You think fetuses are people yet we should let people kill them. So you got a big problem there bud.
May 01, 2021 at 19:05
Letting fertilized eggs die outside the womb is not killing them. Preventing a fertilized egg from going onto the wall of the uterus is different. I c...
May 01, 2021 at 19:03
If they are created outside the womb than they are human but they are outside the natural process so I think we can let them perish
May 01, 2021 at 15:17
The father and mother make the child at conception. Preventing it from getting unto the wall of the uterus is abortion. If it's outside the womb it is...
May 01, 2021 at 15:14
It is not the same thing, as I've explained.
May 01, 2021 at 15:12
Spooky action at a distance was proved in Einstein's day I thought. It all pretty confusing. Faster than light action can be explained, or explained a...
May 01, 2021 at 15:10
If they can rule out any hidden variables, then Bell's theorem proves there is randomness in the universe. This makes sense with regard to entropy any...

Pregnancy is the accepting of life within life.
