Of course you're not going to find it with logic. That's exactly what I've been saying this whole time. You won't find it with meditation...
But the question is, "What is the highest standard of morality?" I'm not asking for a list of all possible moral standards. I want to know what...
Well, of course number don't "exist" proper. They're ideas. But they're purely logical ideas, meaning that mathematics is necessarily true. In...
There are no laws of nature regarding ethics. If there were, then they would be unbreakable like math or the law of gravity. But clearly anyone...
Personally, I think Pirsig has taken one too many hits of acid. The idea that values are empirically verifiable but haven't been seen yet seems...
I don't understand. Do you mean that you were talking about something completely different? Was that even a reply to me? If you were talking...

I think you missed my point, which is probably my fault since my last post was poorly written. My point is that the moral agent (i.e. the person...
Prosecution: The prosecution will demonstrate, using DNA evidence, several eye-witnesses, and video footage, that the accused tortured, starved,...
A fact is the state of affairs. Facts are things that are "out there," and are true regardless of what we believe. So, it doesn't matter if...
How are facts relative?
That's probably the first post in this forum that actually has to do with existentialism. I remember reading something by Nietzsche in which he...
I was doing some thinking about this thread and while it's still obvious that the author has read a bit of Nietzsche, it has now occured to me...
If you want to get knit-picky, proletariat means urban working class, so the peasantry is excluded. If by unemployed you mean people who want to...
A few things I've noticed since my last post: (1) This forum is loaded with Communist sympathizers and apologists. (2) A "true" proletarian...
