Philosophy Now Forum

I would imagine I have read more about Kant than Hex has. All I can reasonably opine myself is that his moral system had some very good points, but was flawed in some ways. And that his experimental approach was a good launching point for modern science at least as it pertains to physics and especi...

MH seems to throw around this term 'babble'. I would like to hear him explain in specific reference to Kant what exactly denotes his babble . What are you understanding of Kant that then makes sense to you that what he is saying is babble ? Because I could just as easily and carelessly say that wha...

Sob: yes, I figured you'd reply at some point, cuz you offered.
I was more asking of others .

And yes. The smallness of many on this forum is ridiculous. I too got tired of it.
I need feedback so I figured id see if anyone was into it.

Anything you can offer is well appreciated.

So, I guess that was a little too much?

I would think for those who see my essay as blabber that the more constructive approach to not understanding what I may be saying is to ask what it is I am saying. So perhaps I can try to say what I mean by 'faith'. To begin, I turn the conventional and usual idea of faith on its head, and propose t...

Veggie: lol. Yes, well I figured I'd get into that when SOB replies. Thank you, I think .
But like I said, I am realizing perhaps I should have put the link to the beginning of the essay. 'The Romance..." Which sets it up .

Any opinions? http://lancek4.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/the-significant-event-part-2/ Hey Lance, good to see you again! You were a good friend, giving much time and energy, thanks! ;-) I read your bit, at least for a while, but see as usual, that it seems to be obvious, that you are not trying to app...

So, we got... Constructive Engagers Honest Seekers Philosophical Talkers Confused Puppets One Reverent God of the Philosophical One Unmitigated and Indifferent Jackass (me) Who (what) else? Ah kaay; I think we're getting some where. Thirds it is. We got the first two, which I think can be justifiab...

Gods of philosophy are of course excluded from the statistics. And, perhaps I was being polite. But I do remember one person a while ago who was in here for a bit, who was very crass and insulting at idiocy, , but I found that eventually, even when I would call him an idiot or point out his idiocy t...

Of course, I have spent many hours on PN, and I know there is always a portion who are not into learning. In fact, my experience here at PN helped to develop my essays. -- It seems Ginko, though he may not be interested, is the only one who at least shows respect and consideration. Of the four so f...

it seems from my extensive experience on this forum that 25% indeed have a capacity to engage constructively. I'd say roughly another 25% are those who are still seeking honestly. Maybe another quarter are stuck in 'talking philosophically', and the last quarter merely confused puppets who only want...

I will pose in the first person to perhaps allow for a more intimate asking of such questions: From where do I gain knowledge? From where do I gain this idea ? These are fundamental questions that reach to the significance of all other proposed ideas that people call philosophy. I have found that pe...

. No. There are an infinite number of realities as far as I'm concerned. We live in a multidimensional continuum. ... I may have said that about a dozen times here before....So, in one sense you are correct; I am having fun repeating myself. . I didn't see this post.. So, how do you know there are ...
