Because I rarely do it I wanted to quote Descartes on this. It's a passage Levinas really likes: I think the laws are contingently so in the sense the...
It's meant to place The Other as the metaphysical foundation of ethics, as ethics as first philosophy that comes prior to ontologizing. Which more pla...
Obviously in the sense that God doesn't have Being if he's radically Other. It also doesn't offer us a teleological explanation, explain the problem o...
As in the God depicted as Otherwise Than Being. A part of the philosophy of Levinas that attempts to get away from intentionality in the early phenome...
Well, I actually normally wouldn't defend a Thomistic God, as that's a God that's both, in my opinion, transcendent and immanent. The God that I would...
These are theological questions, though, not philosophical. This argument is to simply argue for God simpliciter. Though, again, having a divine intel...
I'm honestly inclined to think this isn't true within my experience, and always offered some level of charity. So time to time I asked people how they...
I mean, that's fair. I agree with Pascal that the matter is one of disposition and not proposition, but then it becomes a matter of motivation and sur...
The Kalam maybe is since it has to state the universe has a beginning. But any cosmological argument is merely going to state that all we need is a co...
But isn't this just simply anthropomorphizing God? That in order for there to be a mind at all, it must relate to something bodily. It just simply cou...
No, it's not smuggled - it's basically argued for. The reason why it's a God instead of any other being is i) the being must be simple. Which means it...
To put a demand on myself for a responsibility for the Other. Ethics as first philosophy. However, I'm not sure if this has to do with accumulating vi...
I'm not sure if Schopenhauer's will is any different from the TS, but the transcendental subject doesn't exist outside of space-and-time, or as a thin...
I'd read Derrida's Speech and Phenomena. I've been meaning to get into Derrida more recently, and it's a great text that usually serves as a introduct...
Some aspect of transcendental philosophy makes enough sense to me to think we are both immanent within our factical life, and transcend ourselves with...
Well, it's not a detached object. It's your body. There's obviously a difference between feeling your arm, and feeling your broken arm, right? Or say ...
Do you, when you feel hunger, not feel the contractions of your muscles near your stomach? Do you not feel pain in certain areas they're bodily? Then ...
Hunger still affects the body, and is produced via the body which is outwardly connected with the world. All suffering seems to be bodily, which means...
