The only effort you would need to maintain is a dedication to knowing your subjective and the external world so that you can strengthen the cognition ...
It is not 'bad', you were merely experimenting with pleasurable sensations prior to the development of the superego. I hope you are not punishing your...
180 proof was legendary but he was to the point and had concise, almost perfect oneliners. Augustino is legendary with his own quirkiness now, as he i...
I am small, so I need to utilise what I have that would be put me at a tactical advantage and people underestimate the intelligence of knowing how to ...
You said that humans possess 'free choice' and not 'free will' before comparatively stating that by Schopenhauers' "man can do what he wills, but he c...
Hence the assumption that parents are 'owners' of this responsibility that assumes unequivocal protection of their children as though the rights of ch...
If the will is independent of cognition as the thing-in-itself, one cannot within the boundaries of the intellect confirm the existence of it, ergo it...
It is surprising that you are surprised. Maltreatment of children internationally is at endemic proportions, the prevalence of which clearly exposes n...
? He denies the illusory will, the representations that individuate. The will in-itself stands outside of this intellect or cognitive faculty and is t...
No, it doesn't, which is where the spatiotemporal argument becomes relevant, that these grades of objectification of the will did not develop by our e...
I understand what you are trying to say, but when you say "his will is still guided by that intellect" only it lacks 'power' that this grading of the ...
Let's go back to the problem I had initially, the notion that there is no free-will but there is free-choice and the latter purports an intellect or c...
Actually, it does. Why don't you go read 5.1 of here and see the correlation to the transcendence of the spatiotemporal framework that is relevant to ...
I can't see how: With: Are you unfamiliar with his aesthetics? You must be considering you didn't understand my spatiotemporal reference. And i'll ign...
Yes it is. That is the point when it comes to 'choices' which is a mode of intellect and merely an experience of this undivided will in itself (book I...
That is what you call a straw-man. If you re-read what I wrote, you would know that: I said will is still superior to 'choice'. That is not a straw-ma...
To reiterate, how is your argument relatable to Schopenhauer with whom you have incorrectly associated it with? And, please, I have no time to waste o...
Well, this is it, isn't it? Is there an arrow of time without memories of the past, a past that appears fixed and a future that also appears fixed con...
So, exactly how does one make a choice? Does it just pop out of nowhere, like a daisy? :-} I think you may have confused what Schopenhauer meant here,...
It is a forum, not an academic journal with qualified experts judging written content, just everyday people who are interested in chatting to one anot...
Geez Louise. :-O Why does it matter? It can be a bit of a shock to your ego unless you - like myself - post certain things knowing that it could be de...
Spot on, but the distress previous to that epiphany, the years of anxiety or depression is the emotional language telling yourself what you already kn...
It is almost likened to a dependence on the self-defence mechanism itself that we use as a way to reduce the anxiety that is present when we genuinely...
This is the reason for pointing out the necessity for articulating our capacity to voice autonomous thoughts and it is essentially a practice. The nig...
It is actually telling that you mentioned Thoreau. Well over a decade ago now when I was young, I picked up Thoreau in an effort to embrace the solitu...
I just signed a contract, i'll officially be in a documentary about ISIS, refugees and the impact of war on children from the Mid East. They're sendin...
Totally nervous, couldn't sleep last night because of a meeting that I am going to today, now actually. I will be in a documentary, how cool is that? ...
Perhaps this dependency rests of your desire to maintain it? I knew a woman who had constant anxiety, her emotional malady always present despite year...
I am exactly where I want to be, in life and circumstances, and I think that is saying something about the professional decision I made. Several years...
I can. I chose not to venture down the legal profession because I see no glory in this Republic of yours or any country that values profit over human ...
On the contrary, there certainly is something learned, changed and expressed and it is penetrable, it just takes some time developing that skill and w...
There are a number of factors to consider and while epistemological, metaphysical and even ethical are important in considerations of the nature of mi...
