The Dilemma of Americans
For us Americans, we seem to be faced with an epic decision of whether or not to vote for either Biden and remain the largest exporter of the means to death and destruction known to history (Also known as the "arsenal of democracy') and possibly end up knee deep in a blood bath of international...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
In my own case I have been dealing with the tension, conflict and also interplay between, let's say, traditional Catholicism and those opposing racialist and nationalistic notions that were emphasized by the National Socialists and in Europe in the Interwar Period among many. Note that whenever any...

Re: How Can We Achieve World Peace?
The blurb in the article sounds like a good and realistic description to me of how to create world peace. We can't expect peace from others if they are treated unfairly by us and we can't expect peace from those who are faced with circumstances where they must either fight for basic needs or else di...

Re: What is tolerance?
No one knows. The purpose of the question is to rationally infer and show your work. I apologize for disappointing. Gary, I did not introduce the topic of Gandhi. You introduced the topic of Gandhi. That your understanding and interest in your own topical example of Gandhi extends no further than i...

The Role of the physical Body in Philosophy
I was taught many different perspectives on philosophy. One perspective was that a person cannot simply debate ideas without placing ourselves personally and physically into the debate. Thus when/if someone argues that murder is not immoral, we place ourselves into jeopardy through our statements in...

Re: What is tolerance?
That's a good question that I don't know the answer to. No one knows. The purpose of the question is to rationally infer and show your work. In truth, almost all of the appeal to "justice" upon which so much relies today is parasitic on Lockean Protestant morality. Try it in Syria, or Cub...

Re: When to Hold Your Friends’ Feet to the Fire
Jordan Myers argues, against Christine Korsgaard, that we shouldn’t always hold our friends morally responsible. https://philosophynow.org/issues/161/When_to_Hold_Your_Friends_Feet_to_the_Fire I don't know anything about Christine Korsgaard, however, I think I might like to be Christine Korsgaard's...

Christian Burial Practices
Is there anything more disgusting and hideous than what Christian morticians do to dead bodies. Infusing us with toxic chemicals and throwing us into the ground for a prolonged rot over centuries like plastic bottles?
I'd like to be cremated or recycled by the natural food chain.
Thoughts?

Re: What is tolerance?
Because he was a great politician, do you think he would have used the same tactics of passive resistance if trying to separate from a culture untouched by the Age of Enlightenment, for instance, a culture intolerant of other religions? That's a good question that I don't know the answer to. No one...

Re: What is tolerance?
Ghandi was also very much a pacifist.

That's a good question t...

Re: Decadence and "Liberal Rot"
Yes cultural decadence happens when the breakes are placed on social change and social progress. When conservatives want to turn abck the clock to the "good old days", the result is stagnation and ossification of ideas. When people think they can "make american great again", wha...
