In its most basic conclusion, one can argue that the concept of "Arche" is the basis from which fire, water, earth and air, which were so prevalent in...

Contemporary philosophy has answered one of our biggest doubts: - Are we, as humans, with or without God, morally good? And the phenomenological answe...

How comical it is to be able to read the biased opinions of self-proclaimed political critics and foreign pseudo-philosophers about my own country's e...

And that's Christianity for you people. Nietzsche's perception and his manuscripts reflect his reality in a 19th century Europe. Opportunists, no matt...

You could say that Communism, Socialism, Fascism, even some modern social movements are "religion-like" too.
April 21, 2022 at 22:15
It's just a bland term that encompasses all the dogmas and rules that an intellectual minority superimposes on a civilization in order to remain in po...

This is no argument. Even though both authors are in complete disagreement, I do not believe that Schopenhauer's ascetic philosophy is also an answer ...

People who carry resentment end up being the most unsuccessful both individually and interpersonally in existence. Indirectly - or, in worse cases, di...
April 21, 2022 at 21:09
Yet, I still believe that in a comparison of both scenarios - of an introspective or externalizing pessimism - it is noticeable that if taken as somet...

Mainländer's philosophy is built on a Schopenhauerian basis, as his main question is "how to end any and all hostility to the Self", however, Mainland...

Indeed.
April 21, 2022 at 18:50
And that's why the 19th century German philosopher Philipp Mainländer claimed that "non-existence" is better than "existence" because in a reductive a...

In fact, Nietzsche's perception is intrinsic to the time in which he lived, however, the vast majority of his literature still portrays and can be app...

In fact, Nietzsche believed that humanity - in his period - had immense potential, both for splendor and overcoming - Übermensch - and for destruction...
April 21, 2022 at 18:28
Nietzsche's relation to the instinctual-rational duality is a hierarchical one. In fact, everything that is rational - in his perception - arises from...
April 21, 2022 at 18:23
After all my study of the literary works and the life that Nietzsche had, as well as of his own personal opinions, I can say with certainty that, had ...

After seeing the true reality of nature, some would call "The Mind", simply "a curse"...

Both. When Nietzsche says: "I teach you the overman. Man is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him? All beings so far ha...

Nietzsche read "The Philosophy of Redemption" shortly after its publication, - and Mainlander's tragic suicide -, so is agreed upon that he was well v...

Indeed, the translation is an amateur effort to be recognized. That it also serves, as a motivational example, for the extensive research of minimally...

Yes. For such misunderstandings only occur when "metaphysical" assumptions are applied to "physical" scenarios.
September 21, 2021 at 01:00
Indeed, the "Indo-European" society was the "cradle" of all the structural foundations of the societies that eventually developed within this cultural...

In Ideality? Yes In Reality? No Paradoxes can only occur in the metaphysical environment, because, when a concept becomes real, the options cancel eac...

"One" is a concept, so in the fields of metaphysics, it can be: (1) Weakness; (2) Strength; (3) Weakness and Strength. Only after "becoming" through t...

Do you, for some reason, know about the "Linear B" alphabet of Mycenean Greece? For there is a great similarity between the Sanskrit alphabets of "Ved...

Indeed...
September 20, 2021 at 23:47
I don't believe that in our lifetime an event as big as a "war" of the proportions you refer to - religious wars - will happen. It is very likely that...
September 20, 2021 at 23:47
No problem :smile: And for further clarification, "Hebrew" is a "north-semitic" "afroasiatic" language. In some sense, our modern alphabet descends fr...
September 20, 2021 at 23:40
Unfortunately I will have to disagree with your position. Plato was by no means philosopher "for the people". His texts were mostly objects of study f...

But then we should investigate what "????" - psyche - meant to them: "The basic meaning of the Greek word "????" - psyche - was "life"" (Henry George ...

This is a delicate question, as the concept in "essence" was developed (1) or in the Mycenaean period of Bronze Greece - c. 1500 BC to 1000 BC - and i...

It is not claimed that "Nous" encompasses all these concepts. It is only said that "Nous" is one of those attributes. However, I believe that every on...
September 20, 2021 at 00:22
My point with "creating a new term for Nous", is that, if we created a new word that encompassed all the attributes put to it - like intellect, soul, ...

Only if it is the "archeology of language", but even so, I believe that unfortunately we will be unable to eventually really understand what the ancie...
September 19, 2021 at 22:45
I was also considering this option. The problem is that we do not know the real meaning of the term in Greek, so its use could cause more comprehensio...

Fact, for over 1000 years, "intelligence" was synonymous with "ideology" and "dogma", both of which are supported by the traditions of its cultures. I...

Well, some philologists interpret "Nous" as a term much closer to the modern etymology of "Good Sense", which is made up of a much more accessible and...
