Re: WAYS TO BE WRONG and how to be RIGHT
Hi, Hex-Hammer I already answered these questions. You just did not read carefully. One of the wiki sites is the biography of a philosopher - who I knew personally. I gave the link to that in one of my recent posts. The University was just given in a reply to your earlier request. Read ! p.s. Why d...

Re: Hitler, Wagner, and Nietzsche
Would Nietzsche have approved of Hitler's will to power? Aside from the obvious racism which Nietzsche was staunchly against that is. It's not the will to power he'd have a problem with, since it's an integral part of his philosophy. I do believe he'd oppose the extreme measures Hitler called for i...

Re: Choice or Determinism
In other words, I might *think* I chose to go to lunch, but it was actually a product of my stomach pains, which were a product of my having eaten too early, which were a product of my having gotten up to early, which was a product of my having slept badly, which was a product of my having watched ...

Re: Choice or Determinism

Re: Choice or Determinism
Compatibilism (W.T. Stace) offers a possible way out of this age old dilemma. If the cause of said event is internal, resulting actions are determined by ourselves . Just a thought.
