Philosophy Now Forum

Very well put and extremely well thought out, although I am not entirely in agreement. However, philosophy is not about agreement, it's about presenting a theory in an intelligent way that raises further questions and debate. In respect of this definition of philosophy, although one of many, you ha...

Hi! And thank you!

I strongly believe in both. But, what if you were forced to choose one or the other, under penalty for not choosing. Folks these days, who are justifiably ambivalent about this or this, are being forced to make uncertain choices unsupported by reasoning or science. If I were "forced to choose ...

I have a question for you all: "Do you believe in Fate or Free-Will?" This is my answer to that question: I strongly believe in both. Each of these theories/concepts have their own pro’s and con’s. Now, Fate is defined as: “the development of events beyond a person’s control, regarded as ...

Have you ever heard of the philosophy book series called "Blackwell's pop culture and philosophy series" and I have a lot of them I still haven't read. I'm almost done with one of them that refers to Kant in pretty much in almost every chapter. It's called "The Good Place and Philosoo...

2. Do you believe in ghosts or evil spirits? Would you be willing to spend a night alone in a remote house that is supposedly haunted? Yes, definitely to both questions. Although, I wouldn't spend a night in a heavily haunted and abandoned asylum, that's where I draw the line. Because those type of...

I'm about to P.M. you back to talk more about our passions for the written word. Sorry I've been busy writing every and all afternoon every day. I loathe arguing with people myself. It's why I hate the topic of politics, because it's a never-ending battle of juvenile insults and so much more immatur...

Thank you for that compliment! I guess you could say I "talk internet" mostly in text or in facebook messenger to send messages faster. But when it counts I talk/type normally. I take pride in my vocabulary and grammar. Actually, for my last birthday, I asked my mom to get me one of those ...

I appreciate that advice, "never stop, never give up". I need to remember that. One very famous author, J.K. Rowling, She was writing her Harry Potter series homeless on the train, getting rejected constantly for a long time till someone said yes. And look at her now! I'll try as best as I...

That's an interesting coincidence that you say you wrote a book and it actually got published, I've been published small-time before (meaning magazines and newspapers and such). But it's been a while. I'm finally getting started on my first book, I'm planning on turning it into a series. It's fantas...

Hey veganman, I actually loathe the climate in Florida, and I would move if I could. but I'm financially stuck in this state. I prefer regular seasons because my favorite seasons were fall and winter but Florida doesn't really have that here. Fall is beautiful in Connecticut, plus my favorite way to...

I sent you a private message about that personal part. I have been living in Florida for the past 5 years or so, but I grew up in Connecticut and New York. Same with me about Canada, never been! I just love how they handle their politics and how they help their citizens. Yes, Care Ethics does thread...

Hey Veganman! I'm a strong believer in animal rights myself. Are you an activist as well? I hear Wales is beautiful. I live in the United States, although I wish I could move to Canada lol. That's interesting that you used to be a therapist, I have a therapist and see a psychiatrist regularly myself...

Hey, my name is Lindsay. This is my first time on a philosophical-discussion website. I've been reading certain types of comparative philosophy books for at least 7 years now. For every chapter I read, I highlight the points that peak my interest, and write my own philosophical reflection based off ...
