The HexHammer Arrives!
Greetings fellow philosophers!
I'm no classic philosopher, actually I abhore classical philosophy as most of it has same scientific height as medical nonsens such as blood letting, witches and other super sticious stuff.
Sure a few things still has relevance, but that's only a minority.
I like to use philosophy that has relevance.

And you think the ancient Greek philosophies have no relevance to you how?HexHammer wrote:Greetings fellow philosophers!

You mean you only read the philosophy that you think has relevance to you?
Re: The HexHammer Arrives!
Ok, what relevance has Spontanious Genesis?Arising_uk wrote:And you think the ancient Greek philosophies have no relevance to you how?

Indeed there are few things such as some philosopher said that "the cure must not be worse than the illness" ..or something along those lines.
Existialism sickens me, as it clearly lacks understanding of psycosis and skitzophrenia.

Re: The HexHammer Arrives!
Not a biologist so not much. But what is the good life? What is an ethical life? What is the best political system? Et al, still appear to be relevant questions today and some of their answers still appear to be the best ones so far.HexHammer wrote:Ok, what relevance has Spontanious Genesis? ...
That'll be because its not psychology and is not concerned with them(at least not in the main) but with understanding the life of the non-psychotic and non-schizophrenic.Existialism sickens me, as it clearly lacks understanding of psycosis and skitzophrenia.
Re: The HexHammer Arrives!
All these things lacks modern knowledge and scientific understanding of real life, why it stoops down to babble and raving. It's a theme park for mental mastrubation, stupidity and idiocy. It has excatly zero relevance, infact it will actually mislead and distort any sane preception of things.Arising_uk wrote:Not a biologist so not much. But what is the good life?

Re: The HexHammer Arrives!
What exactly does modern knowledge and science tell us about the Greek questions?
You miss that Existentialism came out of the very real life experiences of World War II and the Nazi occupation of France, where the Greek questions were brought very much to the fore of peoples minds.

Re: The HexHammer Arrives!
It would clearly show that it has no relevance if things exist or not, it's a matter of mentallity.Arising_uk wrote:What exactly does modern knowledge and science tell us about the Greek questions?
If one is in doubt if something exist, then one may have a mental problem.

Re: The HexHammer Arrives!
Sorry, you've lost me?
Are you talking about solipcism?
I'm also confused as you say science should be our touchstone but physics says things only probably exist?

Re: The HexHammer Arrives!
Solipcism should be notoriously outdated, only simpleminded, psycotics and skitzo people would belive in that.Arising_uk wrote:Sorry, you've lost me?

Is this physics saying that things only probaly exist, some orange plastic toy in a conor of your room?

Re: The HexHammer Arrives!
Nah! Nothing so complicated as that!
Its just that I read Richard Feynman a long time back and he said that physics had given-up thinking that what they find is true, just only probably true. For example when they calculate the path or position of particles at the quantum electro-dynamic level they find that they can only work with the probability that the 'things' are there, so it appears that at the small levels 'things' are only probably there. Incredibly probably there but still only probably there, so theres a tiny probablity that they might not be.
p.s.
How could a schizophrenic be a solipcist? Surely they, more than most, have evidence that they are not alone? And what would the psychotic be psychotic about if they were a solipcist?

Re: The HexHammer Arrives!
I find your whole reasoning utterly absurd. Just because we can't determine how particles behaves, doesn't mean the rest of the world is impossible to determine.Arising_uk wrote:Nah! Nothing so complicated as that!

Re: The HexHammer Arrives!
Hmm... what do you mean by determine in this context? As whilst I agree that reductionism may not apply in many cases its still damm interesting that Physics, the pre-eminent science(and I thought this is what you advocated as the touchstone for the modern man), has abandoned truth as its base.HexHammer wrote:I find your whole reasoning utterly absurd.

I've told you, I think much of Psychology is babble.
We seem to be losing track tho'. You've not answered why you think the Greek questions about life, etc have been answered by the sciences.
I'd also be interested in what you mean by existentialism, since you brought it up, and how it relates to the psychotic and schizophrenic?
