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...

Re: Faith: Difficult but Necessary?
Do the winners write history or does history favor those who deserve to win? I suggest peace is a viable and necessary route to save humanity from ourselves. Most Westerners have enjoyed a profoundly decadent and long-lasting 'peace' since 1945... That "peace" is coming to an end, because...

Re: What is tolerance?
That's great but the point is that the quote is not something that Aristotle is likely to have written. And in fact, if you research it, the quote is not in any of his existing writings. He would consider some level of tolerance to be good, as long as it was a mean between the extremes of toleratin...
