New Genocide
At the moment Ukraine's civilians, their living houses, hospitals, martydrome houses, kindergardens, schools, and other building are being attacked. The number of killed civilians is officially 902, but according to most local ones their number is much more higher, approximately 3000. The number of ...

Do Fiction Characters Have Their Own Independent Existence?
Remember that famous scene in the Star Wars (both of versions) when Han Solo shot first, while it didn't shot first in the remake? G. Lucas in one of interviews said that Greedo fired first. Fans got angry (who didn't?). Quite similar stories happened to Sherlock Holmes, when A. Conan-Doyle decided ...

Re: How much can a person change about themselves?
And also an important opposite question: how to stop your own changing? As we know we're all not getting younger a day. Another thing is that each eight /twelve?/ days our body looses the last one old molecules /the organism renewing/. I guess that that 'core' element that allows our bodies to chang...

Re: Who do we think we are?
Well, I guess there might be found some differences between categories of people who identifies themselves with anything else /or with they are/. Let's say that there are those who 'feel' that they are like something; who 'see' that they are something; those who 'understand'...; those who 'acts'... ...

Re: Ethics of Corona Vaccination
Being so popular the sickness risks to become not less dangerous for sanity /and in turn for societies' sake/, than the sickness itself. I guess mere and sane programs which importantly include widespread sharing not just the numbers of victims and safety methods, but also something balancing. Must ...

Re: Hypocrisy against women
Aren't women hypocritical themselves? Seems they've always been. Plenty of images during the history happen out there.
Women weren't enlightened, so dummy leads to dummy behaviour.

Re: the ethic of selfishness, example
I guess if everyone has his own world-view or any other views in general about anything, only this one is enough to see that our ethics might be selfish. However, our "self" doesn't open and it lacks some grounds, therefore it has some problems too, and to say each time "this decision...

Re: Philosophy in the Marketplace
1.) Yes, I do.
2.) No.Why should it be?
3.) Yes, we are, even without any free will.
4.) As long as the science is assumed as the expert there's no way to escape form its criteria of "the correctness".

Re: Goedel Escher Bach - by Douglas Hofstadter
I read some pages (through 120 I guess), and this books appeared to me very interesting by its style and problems. I can compare it to Raymond Smullians's books, and 'Alice in Wonderland' of Carroll. I started to read it because of Godel's problem. They gave me an advice about this book to be read ...

Re: The Existence of God - Richard Swinburne
Does anyone read Swinburne's "The Existence of God"? What can you say about this book? Is this book worth for reading as a solved problem of God existence book? Thanks. Yes. It's a good one. He's a heavy-hitter. It helps to have some background in philosophical terms, but you can get by w...

Re: The Existence of God - Richard Swinburne
Richard Swinburne is a male.
As for me this book is interesting to read, but as for evidences and arguments... It can be checked by someone to say something about it.

Re: Scientific Method and God
1) The Scientific Method cannot prove God without taking the role of God itself as the origin of all truth. 2) To observe a cycle of axioms as the means of proof as to whether God exists or not, effectively is to observe circular reason as the foundation of God in the respect it is the means throug...
