Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

Re: Quote of the day

They Shoot Horses Don't They? Rocky: No, it isn’t a contest. It’s a show. Sheer entertainment some called it. James: I just hope it was worth it to ya. Ruby: We need the money. Not many behaviors that can't explain. Rocky: I may not know a winner when I see one, but I sure as hell can spot a loser....

Re: Quote of the day

Robert Louis Stevenson from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde A moment before I had been safe of all men's respect, wealthy, beloved - the cloth laying for me in the dining room at home; and now I was the common quarry of mankind, hunted, houseless, a known murderer, thrall to the gallows.

Re: Quote of the day

They Shoot Horses Don't They? Rocky: The derby! Ten solid minutes of rack and ruin! Though not from where he's standing.

Re: Quote of the day

Two hours dancing then a ten minute break. Over and over and over again in excess of a 1,000 consecutive hours. That’s 40 to 50 days. Hey, nobody forces them right?

Re: Existentialism is a Humanism by Jean-Paul Sartre

Existentialism edited by Robert C. Solomon John Shand enjoys a collection of essays about existentialism. Going where angels, and even Solomon, fear to tread, I shall take a stab at defining existentialism. Again: define! define! define! Whereas I am far more intrigued with how any particular defini...
