What do you think of Schopenhauer when he says the world IS our Will? And have you ever listened to Jim Newman the non-dualist? He's got lots of stuff...
Well reality is not relative to the body. We don't know the future however. As Hume argues, the sun may not rise tomorrow. Who is to say what butterfl...
I would say on one side there is full male-ness and feminity on the other. Most people are all man or all woman. There are some who are both or neithe...
Well this relates to my number 2 question. I think the East talks about faith in terms of intuition and certain Western philosophers do as well. Ortho...
Man and woman start from the same place as a human being. They are equally human was my point. Their brains work differently though. If you are asking...
Thinking is based on faith? Hegel said that in his latter lectures on the proofs for God. Will has control over the intellect though, which is one rea...
Yes i think all religions point to faith. There are times when i believe faith can literally move mountains, but my mind is never strong enough to end...
I was thinking faith was of the will, not the intellect. That's how saint paul defines it. But what motive have we to have faith? Is the world a simul...
You seem to be limiting faith to Western religion. Does Buddhism have a word for faith? Do they reject its content? Try this: imagine you're in the 60...
Hold on, we shouldn' jump to conclusions if there is any doubt. There is knowledge. It is always contingent, howevet, and beliefs that may transcend r...
Although i agree that Semite theology is shit generally, i don't think women are "doubly innocent". Aquinas said that women are metaphysically inferio...
My experience is that women are just as fierce and revengfully violent as men. They just do it differently. I don't think they love deeper than men bu...
The human brain has its mammal structures, and fish and reptilian strucures too i believe, from evolution. It is also divided into two sides, although...
Great thread. I'm in the middle of reading Beyond Good and Evil for the 4rth time. His several pages on the female race is priceless. Trump is having ...
Yes Jesus was a decadent for Nietszche, extremely kind and consistently caring but ultimately a compromized Jew. Nietzsche admired strength above all ...
Being is prior to predication in thought. In the flesh they are one. Noumena IS phenomenon seen in truth. "And this will be a sign to you, you will fi...
Phenomena is the false or deficint way we see the world. Everything is a sign pointing to noumena. Phenomena is maya, and what noumena is, in substanc...
Such idea does as well deserve a place in the thought process, but ultimately i think the concept of time itself must be abandoned. Too many paradoxes...
"Whenever we think of some entity, we are asking, What is it fit for here? In a sense, every entity pervades the whole world". (Process and Reality) N...
I would agree with your disagreement with Newton and Aristotle in fsvor of Kant and Whitehead, although Descartes was right to say matter was extensio...
If God without necessity created the world then his knowledge of his act would be inside him and since everything inside his is himself, then his crea...
I feel like this concept that God is "out there" and can never be pointed to is a practice in speculation of logic itself but without any real content...
Thoughts The answer to the question "if there is a God", "why there is a God", and "how there is a God" is the same for all considering the simplicity...
That's my point. Saying composition needs a composer assumes the conclusion in the premise. So how was a movement of logic even made to demonstrate Go...
Ok say matter has the potential to be divided endlessly. Why must this prove that matter ends in a supernatural mind? Why is this the only explanation...
I've been reading Aquinas's treatise on the Trinity today and it resonates with how my mind interacts with itself. It seems the left hemisphere is Fat...
Maybe not in terms of philosophy. But what about physics? On the other hand, physics would have to start with the senses and the senses probbly can't ...
This is a fascinating comment. Hegel is his first Logic emphasizes often that logic as pure act and logic as object are one and the same for speculati...
I think it's more true that we experience an Other than that in that moment we experience subjective sensation, Husserl be damned. Empiricism trades c...
Maybe the senses don't exist, as you understand them. Can you point to them? An ear is matter. So is a nose. Sight is miraculous in that you can *SEE*...
So in answer to Zeno Aristotle says the whole is prior to the parts. So is the whole prior to the parts or the parts prior to the whole? That's really...
Then i address it Where? You can't form some generic argument about potential and actuality and say this is beyond science. This is about specific sci...
No. Many scientists would disagree with you. The 5 ways are just the thing physicists like to think about: how to move the series through the laws of ...
Maybe matter is not something a partless being can know. Aquinas's arguments are weak on that. Deism sounds possible if we take any probability count ...
I agree that makes sense but it's inconsistent with Thomism. How can God be perfectly simple yet have thoughts that are not him? Everything is physica...
