Go to the abortion thread.

Again:

I am merely giving you the opportunity to choose another context...one that is of particular interest or importance to you.

From NYT: 'Russia Signals It May Be Narrowing War Aims' Is this that first ray of hope? Putin's own rendition of Nixon's "peace with honor"? The Viet Cong and the NVA whooped our ass...but not really? It was never our intention to actually win the war. We got what we came for [sort of] and...

Biggy, I wrote a rather lengthy post addressin'... ...and lost the whole damn thing when I tried to preview it. For some reason, hittin' the preview button caused the forum to prompt me to sign in again, I hit the back button instead, thinkin' I could capture my post as a copy and *poof* the post w...

1. All things existing relative to a certain context makes context absolute morality as there is an existence for something under one set of contexts while the same existence cannot occur when the context changes. Because "existence" occurs under certain contexts, thus "good" co...

Whether God exists or not, regarding any physical pain the foetus might experience in the abortion procedure one would consider the SAME. (however, in my experience of God - it is capable of 'erasing' pain - I can explain the circumstances where this occurred after having my arm broken after I was ...

From ILP: Is the matter in the meteor mindlessly hurtling toward Earth the same or different from the matter in the brain cognizant of it and "choosing"/ choosing to intervene and deflect it/destroy it? From the perspective of determinism: both the rock and the person are on an inevitable ...

Come on, there are many, many contexts... Not for me to specify. For you. Look, I have already noted in some detail the manner in which I construe the meaning of dasein given my views on the morality of abortion in this thread: https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=194382 I am mer...

What is Dasein? by John C. Brady Epoché Philosophy Monthly Thinking is not the only way of being of Dasein. Even if every instance of thinking carries with it an “I”, the being that we each ourselves are is not exhausted in the kinds of self-conscious reflection whereby the Cartesian ego is discover...

From the NYT: 'Lulu Garcia-Navarro: Farah, I’d like to hear from you on that, too. 'Farah Stockman: People were absolutely freaking out when I was there. We’re protected by these two big oceans over here in the United States. The war still feels far away. But when you’re in Warsaw, you’re a 10-hour ...

Again, you completely miss the point. Any number of others can come up with arguments that rebut the assumptions -- political prejudices I believe are rooted subjectively in dasein, in the life you've lived -- you make about private citizens owning guns. Nope: never said diddly about private citize...

Again, you completely miss the point. Any number of others can come up with arguments that rebut the assumptions -- political prejudices I believe are rooted subjectively in dasein, in the life you've lived -- You are probably right about most of the people in the world who never think for themselv...

As I mentioned there is no relation between the truth and morality, whether the truth is God or a set of prepositions. On the other hand, what does that have to do with the real world...the one that we live in and interact with others in? In fact, for the vast majority of men and women, they do bel...

And all I can do is to ask Immanuel Can to note a particular context that is now unfolding out in the world we live in -- one we are all likely to be familiar with involving conflicting moral and political assessments -- and explore with me our respective understanding of how one acquires a "s...

Yeah, that's one political assessment. And I'm sure there are other conflicting ones. Its a fact. It is easier to leave the Ukraine than it is to enter the UK despite the "we are all praying for you, and will do everything we can" Hot Air from the Great and the Good: ie the fat blond bast...
