I interpret your dichotomy this way: Epicureanism-Stoicism v.Daoism-Buddhism (i.e. eudaimonia v. non-attachment). I had explored the latter (with some...
You fail to make the case that care ethics "avoids responsibility" because you haven't stated clearly what you mean by (moral) "responsibility". As th...
:mask: Well, it's saying at least as much as "7% of the world's population is responsibble for 50% of the emissions", as you've claimed, is factually ...
:smirk: 1. Why do "ancient Holistic philosophies" need non-philosophical "support"? 2. What is such "support" suppose to change about or with "ancient...

Maybe we can "treat" the Monolith as an event whereby each encounter with it irrevocably changes all that has come before. Every encounter is the same...
As long as I can remember I've imagined Kubrick/Clarke's "Monolith" as the ultimate intelligent descendant of terrestrial life interacting with its pr...
