I think anarchists and marxist rioters are being labelled academic liberals. I assume the position is the assumption that the anti-fascist movement is...

The fact that you are asking this only proves that you know little of Plato and having me 'prove' this to you despite the adequacy of the link to enab...
February 19, 2017 at 00:20
I will concede to that mostly because you are right in that your interpretation is certainly more easily understood, and because I appreciate that you...

The social contract theory was suggested in the Republic. https://www.jstor.org/stable/4545279?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents And at least my modern "im...

I can clearly see why you would think that and even whilst writing I knew that the above-mentioned response was likely even with simplistic thought ex...
February 18, 2017 at 21:16
:D No, you are confusing the subconscious mind with the unconscious mind. Freud discusses three levels of the psyche; the Ego, the ID and the Superego...

I have my concessions of axiological welfarism and though I appreciate that our happiness is exclusive, I fear it may contain characterisations of ben...
February 17, 2017 at 23:55
No, you are loyal to your country because you are loyal to justice and that would mean what is best for the people within your community who are citiz...
February 17, 2017 at 23:04
It is not that I have incorrectly applied the term epistemological but rather you yourself have failed to understand the subconscious mind and the str...
February 17, 2017 at 10:53
That is exactly right, because you are loyal. You are intelligent. You are not inauthentic because the principle, the form of loyalty itself is what y...
February 17, 2017 at 09:53
Well, this is just faulty logic; you are being disloyal to serve justice for your country when the situation warrants it, but serving justice for your...

Which is perhaps the reason why music itself can arouse this 'movement' as Hegel calls it to enable us passage into our innate or subjective self; one...
February 16, 2017 at 10:52
Only its not shit, but plutonium. The problem with this type of thinking is that while we dribble about the political show taking place, we fail to ta...
February 14, 2017 at 11:49
Taking care of yourself is not an easy endeavour and some people are caught in a continuous loop like a scratched record because they refuse to take t...
February 14, 2017 at 09:47
I am still not confident about such authenticity even when the composer attempts to please oneself as I find that we ultimately possess a social langu...
February 14, 2017 at 09:21
That's a great point but not just yet; I feel that only once the water is rested I will be able to articulate that experience more creatively, as in, ...

Haha! >:O

Depression and sadness are two very different situations; I have never had depression, but I have been incredibly sad to a very dangerous point becaus...
February 14, 2017 at 06:46
Haha, so Eurovision :P But listen, if you want to woo a girl then perhaps that song might just do the trick. But, if you want to woo a real woman with...
February 14, 2017 at 05:59
Yes, but I didn't realise you did. I'm feeling a tad bit like a crusty dragon right now. :s I am slightly confused as to your position here. I never s...

This guy knows how to woo a woman (Y) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glKXVTloRoQ
February 12, 2017 at 08:56
So it is epistemological?
February 12, 2017 at 00:41
Subjective experience can quite easily be flawed considering it is subconscious and therefore wrought with little conscious awareness, but it is never...
February 11, 2017 at 11:11
I understand but your argument seems to rest on the assumption of one playing an instrument or creating music; what of the movement music can inspire ...
February 11, 2017 at 10:15
One thing I would like you to think about is why it is that you found my remarks against Question objectionable and not my remarks against Hanover? I ...
February 10, 2017 at 10:54
I find the pythagorean angle tempting but paradoxical and somehow I appreciate Hegel' view that the more we attempt to theoretically formalise music t...
February 10, 2017 at 10:23
I say, and this may be all talk and no trousers, but isn't that being part-loyal? So, you're part loyal not part loyal, partly? http://i1070.photobuck...
February 09, 2017 at 10:58
Well, here I must ask for your apology as I certainly either lacked cultural relativism or at the very least was haughty enough to assume that you wer...
February 09, 2017 at 10:37
Geez, Sapientia, what on earth possessed you to compare me to a man whose sole ambition in life is to get stretch marks on his ankles? :(
February 09, 2017 at 10:17
Yes, I have purchased introductory books on how to play the piano and have learnt the notes and concepts like octave and scale etc. I always wanted to...
February 08, 2017 at 06:40
I am aware of that and I am confident that the OP will pursue a life of philosophy whether academically or independently, but what I got from his post...
February 08, 2017 at 05:48
I don't think there is any problem living with your mother, but it may be for you in the long run and I believe that every person should attempt to be...
February 08, 2017 at 05:33
Why do you need reassurance? I do think changing the structure of your life is more important, as you say developing better work ethic and study habit...
February 07, 2017 at 10:25
Que? :-O Well, I'm not that advanced yet to simply improvise and I believe my insincerity lies with the fact that I am learning other people' music ra...
February 07, 2017 at 10:06
You can't be part loyal. Loyalty is a choice, an expression of your moral position and so what you are saying is no different to what I said; by choos...

Years ago in the old thread I organised for Paul both David Chalmers and Graham Priest to visit and answer questions, but it was rather pointless beca...

Hey! Take it easy ol' dog. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/ac/e9/53/ace953b7f6590b87b29c82b764c1fc11.gif

From a Kantian perspective, perhaps that may be viz. the relation between reason and sensibility but I find myself questioning why - when I become con...

The only thing the test is doing is exposing our failure to separate politics from our moral - personal - values; the only political system necessary ...

It is not necessarily rearranging but rather when one transcends to a moral consciousness that is individual and free, their emotions transcend along ...

:-!
February 05, 2017 at 00:43
So then, why is there a panel "conservative" "liberal" etc &c., that comes along with it? Blimey, you know my feelings on this subject and I do agree ...

Far out, some days I'm half dead especially after spending the day at the beach. By mid-afternoon, I wish everyone disappeared and I could be left alo...

How is my chastity politically relevant? I choose not to sleep around and I choose to wait until I meet a genuine love, but that is my choice and no o...
February 05, 2017 at 00:08
And you probably never will. I think for the most part we just dream incoherent nonsense because it is at cognitive level necessary, but on the rare o...
February 04, 2017 at 23:50
It probably might be, but whether or not it is better, it is still flawed. What on earth is purity? I think this was an attempt to connect your moral ...
February 04, 2017 at 23:07
Agreed. Even the very first question when I decide whether something is right or wrong, do I consider it relevant whether or not someone conformed to ...

Taking a disparaging position by labeling leftists as 'children' to justify superiority in your political world-view does not legitimize it only becau...
