I think you have failed to understand my argument, which is strange because you put forth a thesis that basically says the same thing. I am not attack...

So let's get philosophers to face reality. One's ability to do philosophy is restricted or enabled by systems of power, most specifically the control ...

We are in full agreement. The truth is not even philosophers are ready to handle the negative revolutionary nature of philosophy. We say we're fine wi...

As long as by this one doesn't mean, 'thou shalt not offend.' Offense is the inescapable nature of the negative essence of philosophy.

Absolutely, all of them philosophers. :up: :smile: You hit the nail on the head with courage.

This sounds like a cult to me, something that might come out of Scientology. I mean.... what?

The philosopher has to be capable of comprehending conditions that are largely hostile to his being. Where courage is lacking there the mind construct...

I have already given Metaphysican Undercover a compliment in private, but I believe his diligent conduct in philosophizing with people at great length...

Sounds to me like you are describing the ministry of thought. Unless you are saying this is some kind of mystical force?

Here one has a concise masterclass in man's formation and value of knowledge. Very impressive Sir. Though one could argue over the details it seems to...

Here's another point of high value in this debate. If one is not allowed to make arguments then one is not allowed to be a philosopher. If one is not ...

I believe it's necessary to point out that Christianity still has an exceedingly strong hold over a good portion of our species and its cultures. Beca...

"What does a question require to exist?" Beautiful question. The answer is obvious, a functioning human brain coupled with social knowledge.

:up:

There is no responsibility or demarcation in philosophy? From what then does it distinguish itself? I have long understood philosophy to be criticism.

Well then, who cares what philosophy has to say about it. A conceptual toy box that strikes your fancy. I'm not sure one can refute a hedonist.

Well, that was light work. I thought I was going to have to give my whole day to this thread on "deepity."

No, I do not wish to discuss these, but the thread I linked to above deals with the more important topic, the ministry of philosophy itself.

Wait a second. This is not fair, it is intellectually dishonest. You were the one who introduced "divine knowledge." We have got to get something stra...

? ? ? ? A problem, philosophical theology? Thinning my crowd? This is far too general to be of any value, most especially when it comes to religion.

I was not aware there was such a thing as divine knowledge?

No it's not. It's not about making stuff up, it's about the power of negation. I have already made myself clear in this thread, I am not against philo...

You are giving privileged status to delusion by validating false premises that characterize these positions as equivalent. Those who refute religious ...

Absolutely not. These are not equivalent, what makes you think they are? Further, and this is way more important, a quick dose of reality, are you cla...

Atheism is not an ideology.

Take for example Dfpolis, he recently posted a thread titled, Fallible Foundationalism. In this thread he tries to talk about the limits of knowledge,...

Agreed.

Your argument here is wrested from context. There are lots of Christians on this site, one meets them everywhere. And this is the point that makes all...

I always say, in philosophy be a Greek, in sexuality, be a Roman! :smile:

This already claims to know beyond what it says cannot be known. Seems to me this criteria of exactitude that you seem to leverage is unproductive. I ...

I honestly enjoy reading your comments, they are always original in their thought and interesting. I see you have your own style and concise way of ma...

This is a good point. The only benefit of such a category is that it removes these kinds of posts from the general forum threads, just like the lounge...

This thread is the attempt to make a philosophical argument that threads dealing with organized religion, revelational theology, should be placed into...

The other position is lost in abstraction. There is a concretion to reality, which not even the most fundamental idealist or radical skeptic can deny.

What's most interesting, if civilization lasts long enough we will look back on this philosophical age and see the school of analytical theists as a b...

Yeah, what we have going on here is noble posturing to free speech, which is already regulated in many cases through the lounge. It's beyond backward,...

This is massively authoritarian, and a contradiction of your own program. I can indeed put this in simpler terms. I am against Nazis because they unle...

What? You are sore mistaken about the nature of Left violence. Vast research has been done on authoritarian personalities. The Left favors democracy, ...

You doubt this? They have already killed people.

??? Poor Christians? The philosophy of religion is a pseudo-category of philosophy. See Unapologetic: Why Philosophy of Religion Must End, by John Lof...

My dear god man, will we survive these people? Will we? Wait until Trump's Storm Troopers hit the streets. These people rally behind violence, they ar...

I don't have abstract conversations about the existence of Unicorns. The burden of proof resides with the supernaturalist. Further, the discourse cann...

I swear, Notre Dame must be heavy into omnipotence right now because the number of threads related to this have been off the charts in the last few da...

Another God poster who makes a thread and doesn't interact with it. This is a violation of the rules for posting.

It is precisely the duty of philosophy to combat and prevent this kind of viciousness in the world.

Because this is a philosophy forum, I think specific religious posts, that is all posts not related to philosophical theology, should be placed into a...

As with most analytical philosophy, it's just a waste of life. Don't be hard on yourself with Putman, analytical philosers have an arrogant style, the...

There are far too many Christians on this forum. The moderator told me to ignore them, all good and well, but they're everywhere. Like moral spiders t...

Well then, how do you explain this:
