Philosophy Now Forum

This week I watched a documentary ,about the singer songwriter ,Amy Winehouse and today ,in the Telegraph, coincidentally ,there were photographs of the deceased star and her 2.7 million mansion in Camden Sq. London. The voyeuristic images were really all about what stardom can buy. The paper boaste...

That was in my provocative persona in the Thought Experiment. ... Is that so? Yet to see the other one. Is this it? I definitely prefer it. I must confess however that like yourself I was convinced that the noun of pedantic was pendant. ... Nope, mine was a stupid error as I know the difference, ju...

In thought experiment 2 we witnessed what I described as an unruly entanglement of conflict . Here we see little evidence of philosophical thought and nothing of agreement and harmony. Is your real name Sybil? Or are you simply blinded by your unruly entangled conflict, of disharmony The inheritanc...

You make much use of the terms from psychology in your thoughts, why is this? Could be because I am a psychologist . I'm puzzled at the one who made much of of and off claiming this line? That was in my provocative persona in the Thought Experiment. I must confess however that like yourself I was c...

I think you mean "neurotic" pendant. I think you mean 'neurotic pedant'. Is there any way that Arising can escape this observation ;such as saying I use the American dictionary? Would it have been wiser not to point out his gaff ? What did you get out of pointing it out? Is it it in fact ...

This is the problem my friend you actually see yourself as a modern day Socrates. [and you seem to have forgotten what happened to him] It appears not to have struck you that ...

Please note that I will not be answering any further questions here since, jousting is not for me and time is money, as they say.

TJH, thank you for your responses re Thought Experiments, from which I have noted the following as my summary of your responses:- 1. they are focussed solely within and for this forum; 2. they are being conducted by you to foster philosophical deliberation and make a philosophical point about philo...

In the notable case of Arising Picking over the bones of forum posts, as we see in the case of the above, is a kind of psychotic episode of pedantic mischief.But also a deep seated need to be appreciated and respected [when , undoubtedly, in the real world, he finds no such regard] What we observe ...
