We tend to underestimate the people of the past, but you have to take into account that Ancient Egypt was, for most of its existence, the most advance...

Philipp Mainländer, The Philosophy of Redemption - the same book as you -; Plotinus, The Enneads.

The same context can be applied to love. No one can ever have "access" to love, as it is an abstract concept of how we perceive the relationships betw...

The shape of the Egyptian pyramids is thought to represent the primordial mound from which the Egyptians believed the earth was created. The shape of ...

We agree to disagree!

Then you have to search it. Make questions about it for you to answer. It seems to me that this brings a similarity between humanity as Being, and the...

I very much doubt that this is true. You can say that because - here I am based on speculation - you are probably not in a situation where this choice...

Being rude and direct, it's probably because they're stupid. The "cultured masses" as they say. Here I'll quote yourself: "i'd like to know how we , a...

It is not great, it is what it is. Sometimes good, sometimes really bad. If you feel that way, ok. However, the forum is an open place, and being open...

If that's what you got from my answer, I'm glad you noticed. :smile: Why is that? The forum has its ups and downs but in general it is a good forum.
October 27, 2020 at 00:19
First things first: If you want to engage people into your discussion, try to formulate it in a way that attracts the reader's interest so that they f...

Debatable.

How can it not be an act of egoism, since you acquire the love of someone as you sell your love to another person. It is an exchange of good-feelingne...

Any knowledge is worth as long as it does not corrupt your notion of how smart you are. I have seen - I will not quote names - many people affirming t...

The problem I see in current philosophy is that it is only valid if you are part of the academic niche, and if that is not enough, to even have some m...

Anyway, I very much doubt that any philosophical thought will be built out of this forum.

Love is an egoistic concept, where you make your partner property and let yourself be the partner's property. Love is nothing more than an established...

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to reading the ancient Egyptian works. It will bring us a new spectrum of how philosophical thought de...
October 23, 2020 at 15:35
You have completely distorted my comment. What I really meant is that if you believe with dogmatic faith in your opinions - even if they can sometimes...
October 23, 2020 at 05:16
The problem that I noticed in your argument is that you have a personal view of existence and a certain resentment - perhaps - for existence. Obviousl...

The best way to get them to demonstrate their true intentions is to let them speak. Obviously by banning them in the first post, you only give an argu...

Existence is the craving for the craving for existence. This primordial "will" - if it can be named that way - did not necessarily need a transcendent...

The point of deliberately quoting Constantine before Theodosius is in reference to the beginning of the favouritism of Christianity - with Constantine...

We are all tempted by giving up daily, but the grace of existence is being able to let time feel the anguish of waiting for your eventual death. Me to...

If you eventually develop and structure your thoughts in a way that doesn't look like religious dogmatic fanaticism, I ask that you post it as a discu...

People with a strong faith cannot be argued because their truths are absolute. Good day / Good night :smile:
October 18, 2020 at 20:29
Probably not if well written and with a good premise.

The pandemic was a plate full of arguments for the media and for politics. Quarantine was one more way for the state to demonstrate its strength over ...

I have already stated and will say again: The fight against Christianity was fought and lost by the Roman civilization; we, our world, our civilizatio...

Even if this type of ideology and philosophy grows, it fails on its own premise. Let them not reproduce, because the future of humanity will be decide...

And? Just because Sumerian mythology also has the flood tale as the Christian religion, does that make it true? Obviously not. And why not? There is n...

I don't think you understood my previous point. These inequalities will NEVER be eradicated as there will always be a group claiming to have less than...

Social inequality has always existed and will always exist. Decay itself is the act of this new generation to take advantage of the possibility of lam...

This is the type of "argument" that is not worth discussing, as the writer is based entirely on faith and biblical scriptures, which are already essen...

It is to be expected - from the people of the period - that they feared the might of Rome. Less than 40 years earlier, the Romans had completely destr...

The problem is that you focus mainly on the Christian branch with (1) the bigest number of followers, (2) well-established dogmas and (3) the one that...

Don't get me wrong. In no way was my goal with my last comment to attack you or exacerbate my ego. I just commented the beginning of your answer, beca...

There are very few true Christians. Ha! Claiming to believe in God is very easy, so that's what most of the faithful do. Often, they don't even know t...

It is more of a tactic to publicize the political bias of producers and the people involved.

I can assure you that 90% of people know nothing about history, let alone about the history of the Church. Therefore, it is not surprising that you we...
