I am not American. I am from Spain... we don’t have the same rules and the same economical opportunities
April 11, 2021 at 05:41
I guess it is somehow ethical because of the characteristics and the context. There are a group of unknown hikers and then a fat man. We can say blow ...
April 11, 2021 at 05:06
Interesting point! I put an example of a group because the original author pretended to defend that mostly the masses would act against to the individ...
April 10, 2021 at 19:22
Probably this happens because humans tend to think and use a ideas or knowledge to improve our reality. It is true that praxis and action take advanta...
April 10, 2021 at 19:15
True! But another interesting fact is that the people argument different answers when they check the dilemma, even they end up creating another dilemm...
April 10, 2021 at 18:46
Understandable! I will check it out deeply.
April 10, 2021 at 16:25
Interesting! Thanks for sharing your resources and data. Appreciated. I have one question. Why did you choose call it antilogicalism then?
April 10, 2021 at 16:08
I think my economic ideology or paradise would be a system where, at least, most of the workers have the right to own a house and then invest in cultu...
April 10, 2021 at 12:52
Interesting question. John Locke developed some theories about colours and then how is in our vocabulary. He tried, somehow, explaining in a empirical...
April 10, 2021 at 11:27
Interesting fact. We can see it also in this view. If he got stuck is his fault so somehow doesn't have the right of a choice. Then, the rest of the h...

Everyone start to philosophy is nihilism
April 10, 2021 at 07:23
Yes it is. Only allowed in violent countries. But I guess somehow goes further than just court resolutions because we are debating and sharing ideas o...
April 09, 2021 at 23:37
Another dilemma inside the dilemma! I like it. Yes it is. Completely because now we have to consider if we are sufficient brave of give the fat man th...
April 09, 2021 at 23:16
Agree lol. But this what happens in spiral dilemmas like this one. There are infinite answers and I guess this is why so interesting and I like all of...
April 09, 2021 at 23:08
I can some courage and trust in him but I only have 50 % of chances. This situation, the attitude of the fat man, could be like a Russian roulette.
April 09, 2021 at 23:06
:100: :up:
April 09, 2021 at 22:54
True but he could act selfish in two ways: not deciding killing himself because he doesn’t want to or probably he could torch the dynamite and then ki...
April 09, 2021 at 22:53
Interesting point of view. So you defend that it could depends on the awareness in every individual in this dilemma. If a doctor is there, for him, th...
April 09, 2021 at 22:23
Sure, the sacrifice always be there because as you explained, it is a natural selection. Nevertheless, I is interesting how the humans create masses t...
April 09, 2021 at 21:06
Agreed. Good expression. :100:
April 09, 2021 at 21:04
:100: :rofl:
April 09, 2021 at 19:40
Good question! I think not. I guess it doesn’t depend about appearance. In extreme circumstances you do whatever just survive and if you have to sacri...
April 09, 2021 at 19:16
I thought it more than moral, in a survival aspect. Somehow the masses will fight to survive. Doesn’t matter the sacrifice for the the fat man. I gues...
April 09, 2021 at 18:26
Understandable but I wanted to phrase it in that way just to point out the extreme situation they randomly ended up
April 09, 2021 at 18:13
They literally did this.
April 09, 2021 at 18:12
That would be so hilarious :rofl:
April 09, 2021 at 17:57
I guess you would like read about sex inside philosophy more deeply in this site: The Erotic as an Aesthetic Category.
April 09, 2021 at 16:41
We learned about how to think furthermore than basic things. I guess it is not only entertainment. Everything has always started as ideas or debating....
April 09, 2021 at 16:14
I really liked it. I love how you explain as a cascade, if you don’t mind I use this metaphor. Thanks for participating and sharing your thoughts in t...
April 09, 2021 at 16:11
But having ideas and debate about it are important too and here is where philosophy is crucial. A good example are the dilemmas and their interpretati...
April 09, 2021 at 16:02
This is where we get the commission/omission moral dilemma. If the fat man omitted the act of allowing the rest blowing himself up then he acts immora...
April 09, 2021 at 15:39
So the moralism depends about the fat man's permission?
April 09, 2021 at 15:14
What you shared is very important because it is something I was waiting for. Exactly, what can happen if we pass the buck? Imagine we do so and them t...
April 09, 2021 at 15:13
This one was so interesting. I never heard of this topic until today. Another new concept I learn about law philosophy. Thanks for sharing and explain...
April 09, 2021 at 14:59
So you would be only in his side just in extreme circumstances. Interesting :chin: It looks like sammaritan acts too.
April 09, 2021 at 14:12
Well greasing him is a good solution but imagine nobody has this object with themselves. It is not about being mean with the fat man I guess it is abo...
April 09, 2021 at 14:04
Cool then! :100:
April 09, 2021 at 14:01
I understand your point. But what about if the fat man doesn't allow us to blow him up? His selfishness could kill us (the hikers in the example). It ...
April 09, 2021 at 13:50
Interesting point. So he will die anyway but the sacrifice and the respect of the fat man could depend in his behaviour. End like a hero or a selfish
April 09, 2021 at 13:39
Absolutely! What would be your answer according to moralism?
April 09, 2021 at 13:37
Yes, you are right somehow fat Men probably wouldn't go hiking but I said this dilemma is quite humorous because of the characters :joke: But I was lo...
April 09, 2021 at 13:27
I don't remember asking your opinion about my answers pal :up:
April 09, 2021 at 11:29
I wish one day we can turn back to these days. The golden era of philosophy, ethics, science, development of individual, etc... we will never see anot...
April 09, 2021 at 07:50
There are too many reasons, but I think the most important facts are the following ones: - most of the researchers are not motivated here because the ...
April 09, 2021 at 07:28
Completely agree. Good point. I guess this is one of the worst inventions in our modern times. As you said, we have to do something because Twitter on...
April 09, 2021 at 07:06
Hmm... no. Here in Europe (I am from Spain) people give zero respect and acceptance to scientists. It is all about politics and money. We still waitin...
April 09, 2021 at 06:26
Completely. They are always making up their reality just to confront themselves because the world outside is not for them or they do not want it. Some...
April 09, 2021 at 06:17
Not necessarily. Pessimism or nihilism can be connected to the feeling of not having hope about what the future holds but this context doesn’t make me...
April 08, 2021 at 20:11
I don’t see the correlation between love and fear with feelings as uncertainty, pessimism, nihilism, etc... I guess love or fear are just emotions and...
April 08, 2021 at 19:02
Love doesn’t exist... also sacrifice whatever because of love is quite infantile. love is a grave mental disease - Plato. Love is a madness - Sócrates
