It's shameless to put your sins on God, who would never become man. Jesus was a normal man who did strange things. It was his disciples who put divini...
Western oral tradition held for many centuries that there were four personality types (even some of the Church Fathers mention this): Melancholic, who...
Entropy was never zero at any time. The chaos that existed in the entropy before proper time was enough for some type of energy to start inflation. I ...
Eugen is highly disturbed that everyone does not see the 'hard problem' the way he does so this Spinoza thing is a way of expressing that. The hp is w...
It comes down to usefulness to society in the States. We don't like people hanging around their whole life. If they can't work that's one thing, but i...
Considering the questions of this thread as a whole, I was wondering about how here is the USA we medicate people forcibly if they are acting outside ...
Ok. It's a free forum. I just don't usually see someone asking the same question so many times on this forum. Anyway I'll go do something else, good l...
I mean admit that you will never understand Spinoza. I mean, all the relevant quotes are given above. Why not switch to Aristotle? Do you have an obse...
We have bodies (attribute of extension) and thoughts (attribute of thought). All come from God, who may or may not be consciousness (we can't know bec...
Why do you care if the hard problem would have bothered Spinoza, one philosopher at of thousands? Why not read Aristotle or something? Spinoza wrote, ...
Addition: Hen To On (Greek for "being is one") Hen To Pan (" universe is one") I seems to me belief in these ideas started for Einstein with reading S...
Spinoza said that we know more of how our bodies are affected by the world than the world in itself. Kant's philosophy elaborates this point to great ...
I'm sorry my commentary on the verse confused you. I talk a lot about ethics and religion because I am forever questioning my relationship to the worl...
(NIV) Revelations 1:8 “I am the Alpha and Omega”. God in ancient Judaism was behind everything, at the beginning of Kant's "series" and at the end, en...
Don't try to figure out free will. There too many monsters of the conscience that interfere with objectivity. Daoists say to live spontaneity, as I re...
NIV, Job 5:18 "he wounds.. he injures" . So God is behind the destruction and the recreation. If nature reflects God, then how can anyone go to hell a...
Romans 3:23 " all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". If God can help them redeem themselves, that is merciful and righteous. If God dies...
Let me reestablish the argument: 1) God could have immaculately conceived everyone and had them all enter heaven based on their merits and God's favor...
Thanks for the criticism. Its hard to quote when I'm not on the desktop but can do better I think. I think sin is a possibility and so must hell be as...
Then why. You seldom engage others and instead write wordy sophistries. Einstein showed that matter has no objective size but it has objective substan...
Maybe we can't detect a difference between acceleration by force and free fall. But in Einstein system there is absolutely no way things can truly mov...
Einstein said the universe wasn't matter connected by magnet-like forces nor matter moving because its naturally heavy and falls when space is empty. ...
Spinoza speaks of the Jewish idea that God's essence and what he thinks about are identical (someone refreshed my memory by quoting him on another thr...
After being a Roman Catholic for many years I've searched to replace the faith with something else. The rationality of that religion, which is simply ...
That's cool, a lot of writers on this forum don't like Hegel. I read the Phenomenology 3 times, the Philosophy of Mind 3 times as well, and on my seco...
I'm reading his German Philosophy book, Hegel's philosophy of Nature, and the lesser Logic. I'm almost done with all of those but I still need to read...
I've seen evidence of a collective subconscious that stretches across the globe in human minds. The fact that we understand ancient text is evidence f...
Everyone philosophises at the ontic level. Its implicit because as Heidegger says Dasein is metaphysics. I think that is where you are directing your ...
The difference between the East and West on these issues is that the East desires for contradictions never to be resolved (https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
Here is the story of the Japanese philosopher of "nothing" during the world war eras: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeOTbyy7uYE We don't need to rej...
Herbert Marcuse took Heidegger's philosophy into Marxism as Gramsci had done with the growing Italian school of thought. Ideas, and in fact whole book...
Nothingness's existence (Heidegger's claim) leads back to Eckhart's statement that "man in God is God". Heidegger failed to see this and retreated to ...
Nothingness nihilates by its presence. The existence of nothingness was discovered by Heidegger when he philosophized his way through anxiety. That is...
I'm thinking that the heaviness of objects causes a squish on spacetime and that actions that seem like a "force" are really radiations of energy. So ...
I was listening to Dr. Gregory Sadlers videos on this last night. Type in "Gregory Sadler Heidegger nothing" on YouTube and you'll find 4 ten minute v...
I mentioned the "actual idealism" of Giovanni Gentile. I did so because he completed the thought of Rosmini, which is in line with Jewish esotericism ...
