Unless, therefore, we are to move constantly in a circle, the word appearance must be recognized as already indicating a relation to something, the im...

Well I'm sorry if I did anything wrong. I have a very religious side and a very secular side. Jungian psychology might say my Ego is somewhere in the ...

You've been very defensive on this thread. My sole point in the post earlier is that modern people are accused of being overly rationalistic, when in ...

Wikipedia says the I Ching is an "inspiration to the worlds of religion, philosphy," ... It also says right at the start that it is partially a cosmol...

I've already put the theory out there that the I Ching is inherently a religious book

There certainly is growth of knowledge in the scientific world. People outside science tend to think "if Newton was wrong and now Einstein is wrong, w...

Is science really a "success" in general? What rate can we put on science as its predicted growth rate and how do we know this has been met?

By saying that even if theism is not confronted, atheism can still live, you admit that atheism has an intellectual and aesthetic system in it's own r...

The thing about religious people is that the world and stuff like this "must make sense". It.must have a clear answer for them. But could God, Heaven,...

Inauthentic temporality is a spurious infinity, one that goes nowhere and has no point

If a chair is half matter and half form, and it's form is constantly being replaced by new ones, then half of the identity of the object is constantly...

That's a wonky statement

You and i believe we see the world. MU thinks he abstracts the world into his soul. He is so convinced he has the correct psychology and that we reall...

You propose a Christianity which doesnt t retain belief that it can prove its own truth. This is a fiction. Christian arguments are refutable, so it i...

Did the I Ching predict this for you? It is contingent that Christianity preceded freedom. It could have been another way. slave is not condemned in t...

Christianity makes karma relative thru the mercy principle. You might say the "relational" trumps the absolute in their world view. The world, however...

I didn't realize this was noticible lol. I was born in Rome and have been an American citizen since I was a teenager. Life in the USA is fast but for ...

I'm from Italy actually, but my residency is in the US. Thank you for asking

It's got to be a silent actress. That style was only done in Hollywood in that era. I'm guessing a world war 1 scarlet

That's brilliant! It seems to me that "having" has mostly to do with the Prime mover then, whether or not this is impersonal or personal. I wonder wha...

Projection was to always put the truth in the future; it's like having a friesby that you keep tossing away once it returns to you. Hegel and Heidegge...

I don't know what the I Ching predicts, but MY prediction is that the future will only have ezistentialists. Look to the future

The books are The bible in India by Louis Jacolliot and The Discovery of Genesis by Kang and Nelson. Here's a joke, sorta: what's my favorite passage ...

What if I spoke in English "I'm willing to exercise restraint if it will hurt their cause". Does it mean you want this certain cause to feel the hurt ...

I hope Xtrix responds, but in would like a try at a little response. Heidegger 's thoughts were always in projection. Once he found a truth he project...

People in manias have apophenia. Religious people too, which we have to remember because the I Ching is a religious book!

Wasn't it Heirider or some name like that who at the time of the French Revolution said that the German language excluded concepts like Liberty, Equal...

That's an even better example of dialectic than Zeno's paradox. Some thing can have edges but be unbounded. My conclusion is that the law of explosion...

How can a sphere be unbounded?

I think Duns Scotus's principle of "less than a numerical unity", and the "principle of explosion" ( see Wikipedia), are relevant here (although we ha...

Isn't is really the FINITE vs the infinitesimal? The infinitesimal is infinite in it's own right. It's interesting that you say that the continuous an...

Hegel I believe was the first thorough process philosopher in the West. He still has something discreet at the end of the process: the Absolute. When ...

I don't think humans are completely bound by their languages. They can find some way to express or at least think of ideas that are difficult in their...

I agree with what you've written on this thread. I think for Heidegger, time is meditation on being by the Kantian self

You bring up an interesting point which applies to eymology. All too often a scholar will believe a coincidence to be something casual instead. Have y...

I have a book which argues that the Bible originated in India and another book that says it originated in China. There are books on any idea you can i...

Your argument fails because you didnt prove that the "necessary" is... necessary! You have combined two very different definitions of contingent. One ...

A traditionalist Aristotelian once told me that Buddhists were stupid people. He would have accepted G.K. Chesterton's quotation that "a healthy mind ...

Autocorrect changed koan to loan in my last post. That's why it didn't seem to make sense lol

Keep in mind that priests believe that they eat Jesus's live body every day at Mass. Uh this theology is supposed to save the West? I prefer The Big B...

It seems to me that intense meditation and use of loans violate Einstein's principle, but maybe craziness is the end result of all human life

Thanks for the clarification. I was trying to group them tightly and might have overlooked important details Yet wouldn't Buddhism be insanity in Eins...

I'm not going to argue with you over exegesis. I'll just say that even traditionalists priests who believe homosexuality is a sin will sometimes openl...

That is very impressive, I like that. Off the bat i'd say i am more a Cynic than the other two options. In response to Judaka I was going to say that ...

St Paul clearly teaches that each Christian is the bride of Jesus. He can't marry a group as a group, so the meaning of the Church as the bride of Chr...

Did you guys know that the pro-choice Catholics actually have a point that the Church hasn't said when the soul joins the body? Thomas Aquinas said th...

"In the ordinary course of nature this is the condition of the child in its mother's womb, a condition neither merely bodily not merely mental, but ps...

I read the passage cited above by Tim Wood carefully, and the last sentence says it clearly that there is no noumena in the sense of another world we ...

I find matter itself to be absurd. If I were to leap into a pool and start to shrink, I could shrink forever and still remain in the pool. But after f...
