I am not sure whether there is a masochistic perfection to loving someone when you are down (and you are down all the time), but I hardly this this is...
I do retract my comment of his idiocy; I spent today in a profoundly draining conference and typing on my phone is not that easy. But, one could perha...
Perhaps as an impetus that transforms one to consciousness, hence “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." When he beca...
It is incorrect of you to say that his decision was right when he himself is conscious of it being wrong and thus you are injecting a level of your ow...
Again, this is merely an unrealistic idealization particularly of Kierkegaard considering that you assume his greatness that therefore means his love ...
This is precisely it, the humanity and very actuality of the situation. He was haunted by his decision to abandon her and likely his approach and trea...
There is nothing wrong with such emotions, on the contrary I - like Kierkegaard - know that whilst it is compelling intellectually, an absence of love...
When one transcends love they by definition abandon it as was closely stated earlier by Cavs, only Kierkegaard came to realise it much later. Indeed, ...
This is the deception that drove her to suffering and thus contrary to his moral obligations and perhaps his behaviour towards her enabled a temporary...
God still enabled Abraham to keep his son and to embrace the joy in love, that when there is an authenticity in this love between two people, one coul...
There remains nothing that would have enabled him to believe that his decision to reject her was justifiable, and this is where his subjective battle ...
Look, my place with Kant does stop at that point viz., compassion as I too personally agree that there is more to self-actualisation than what reason ...
What a fallacious scenario. Kant' philosophy is about objective morality and compassion is merely a subjective experience irrelevant to our relations ...
Ok, so now, comparatively speaking, let us look at this abovementioned problem with the following statement: The phenomenon of violent radicalisation ...
So, you are saying that the problem of violence caused by men is on the decline because we can rationally attempt to apply solutions to what is often ...
Sarcasm is underlying hostility disguised as humour, a way to ward off someone who has historically failed to 'get it'. This 'realisation' that emerge...
Causal connection? Men create religions, they imagine political ideologies, the global homicide rates reflect a clear aggregate in findings that show ...
Well isn't that just peachy, sweet cheeks. An illusion is the belief that your feelings within this metaphysical realm is somehow free from the articu...
As a former contemporary dancer, I can actually understand this, but I hardly think the philosophical world would. I can just imagine Chalmers with hi...
I hardly think working in contrast to rational processes will enable us to get any closer to solving the problem of consciousness. Exactly what did yo...
I was, at the time, enjoying a hearty breakfast. Then, I moved on to writing. Now, I am about to have lunch, but I realised that there is nothing in m...
Not necessarily. You are hungry, but why? Physically, you are in need of sustenance to enable the energy to function adequately. You are a human being...
Nothing rational took place because it was instinctual. Your decision was propelled by an impulse but a rational choice to eat foods that contains the...
This is why we need the face-palm emoticon. And it was the woman of the apocalypse that crushed the serpent under her heel. One minute you have a girl...
A 'choice' must be rational, thus cats and dogs are not capable of choice but are purely instinctual. The decision to act with reason irrelevant to th...
Baking requires a calculated precision and to create something new by learning the behaviour of each ingredient under particular temperatures, or when...
You often do this. No, we only have two. One is to choose to be a rational, autonomous agent, to believe in yourself and take responsibility for your ...
Without authenticity, this so-called 'separate and distinct' you refer to is an illusory concept that enables one to believe that they are making inde...
What a load of codswallop. People who are afraid to educate themselves are afraid of breaking from the determined simplicity formed as part of their i...
Independence was not a choice for me, I need to work in a fixed, secure job in order to survive and I am scared as hell and have been for a long time....
I don't really want to go down your slippery slope, but I think the whole world should shut the fuck up for a change and maybe start listening to them...
A choice can perhaps be a decision that contains an absence of an impulse or instinctual drive that mechanically pulls us to act without reason in ord...
Make your brownies, but before baking, beat 250g of cream cheese, one egg, 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence, and dollop on top. Heidegge...
Not really. I would my prefer my brain to function without the intoxicated influence of drugs and alcohol but would rather face-off reality. It's bori...
"Applied philosophy considers as a single generative matrix the discursive praxis and its validation in a real object." Baking, I can assure you, is h...
Mary Berry rocks. I auditioned for the Aussie Bake Off, got to third round. My vegetarian shepherds pie was awesome but I wasn't interesting enough to...
I cannot see how considering that the former addition of 'likes' is gone and indeed there are no personal picture posting. It is nice to indulge in so...
