Philosophy Now Forum

I think the most challenging and rewarding field of ethics today falls in respect with environmentalism. Nothing has the power to change how you interact with nature, technology, and your society and challenge the fundamental assumptions with how you should behave in your environment as this field o...

Nice to see another environmentally minded individual on the forums. Welcome!

It can be proposed that we philosopher types don't really have much to offer non-reflective people, in regards to their personal happiness, a matter of central concern to most of us. I disagree. Though philosophy as an academic trade doesn't need to exist for personal happiness or well being, the r...

Are philosophy professors happier on average than Texas cowboys? I do sometimes pretend (to people not from Texas) that I have an oil rig behind my farm and we ride horses to the grocery store and drink beer with the local cowboys... but I think I was born almost 100 years too late for any of that....

And that, is a philosophy. I disagree. Philosophy, at the bare minimum, is a reflective examination of life. That is exactly what's missing in the majority of cases. The problem isn't that people in Texas are too [insert your favorite condescending characterizations here], the problem is that some ...

Nothing like being psychoanalyzed on a philosophy forum by strangers who've read a single introductory post and jumped to conclusions. *sigh* Yes, there are smart people in Texas. No, it's not the standard. I didn't mean to start a whole discussion on it, but anti-intellectualism is really the cultu...

We must go back and reexamine our paradigm. Which paradigm? On my opinion, at first we must understand the conception of Vacuum. Why? Because Vacuum is hidden in every part of Physics. Because without Vacuum the Physics looks paradoxical. ======. S. The concept of "vacuum" and reality don...

You must be popular.

I can tell you've probably never lived in Texas. Thanks for the warm welcome...

I was lucky enough to stumble across Philosophy Now on Facebook, so that proves that if you look anywhere long enough something of value might pop up. I'm a philosophy student in Texas, just about to finish my undergraduate degree (a bit late, but not bad). Yes, you read that right... Texas. In abou...

The current accelerated expansion of the Universe at the distances of more than one billion light years, “dark” Mass and Energy, “buons” without spins as well as “quints” with spin 3 prove that there is a crisis in modern physics similar to the crisis that took place in early 1900s. I couldn't agre...

Relativity physics and quantum physics have since the beginning disagreed on a great many thing, yet they paradoxically both make accurate predictions. How can this be so? The philosophy of science of the 20th century really focused on the contradictions in physics. How could two such opposing views...
