Re: If God is the greatest imaginable, He is pretty small and lame
Hehe. It's actually not blank spaces that need to be filled. It is connectedness between thoughts that I can't see. Do I need new glasses? You could shift from snifter to tumbler but I advise the sobriety of cool water from a jelly-jar glass after the diuretic of morning coffee, one of modern civil...

Re: Mankind its Downfall
Stubbornness, (The doom attribute) You first have to accept life, before life can start accepting you, Is that like you first have to accept death before death can start accepting you? Good question, Dapplegrim. I think it means you have to first accept acceptance before acceptance can accept you. ...

Re: What are the achievements of Logic?
What are the achievements of logic? It would seem to be hard to identify them. In contrast mathematics has huge achievements to its name, especially its use in the domain of physics. But logic, whether pure and abstract or its application to language, does not have many, if any, achievements to its...

Re: Certain Knowledge
You can either have an illusion of certainty or the certainty of illusion.
It is the difference between a sciptical and non-sceptical approach.
Personally I prefer the certainty of illusion.

Re: Kant's Four Questions
This isn't so easy. You suggest that human purpose and meaning is achieved through the pursuit of happiness. What of the artist who devotes their life and their societal happiness to the often ridiculed expression of their art? What of those like Bobby fisher who sacrificed worldly happiness for th...
