This is a link to one of my personal favorite online sources for developing a sense of direction and knowledge of analytic philosophy. Carneades practices a form of pyhronic skepticism he calls indirect skepticism, but provides a well-rounded ...

After joining this group today I started to think about a famous quote - "I think therefore I am" - wouldn't it be more accurate to say "I shit therefore I am"? - Theres no evidence of thought, but shit - that's real evidence.

Alright Eli - you seem like a smart guy - It is my contention that the Universe is infinite and eternal - no beginning, extends forever. I came up with this conclusion on my own, using Logic. However many in the Scientific community say I can't make ...

On the concept of "mindfulness." A quick Google search shows recent thought places the origin of this concept as stemming from Eastern, or Buddhist beliefs. And yet, would not the origin of this concept derive from ancient Stoic maxims on "self ...

Anyone watch the movie Source Code (2011)? I saw it last night, and it is absolutely full of moral and ethical dilemmas, from issues with implied consent, to 'greater good' rationalizing, to the involuntary manslaughter(?). What did you think about ...

Wittgenstein is about the only continental philosopher I can stand. While his presentation was mystical and putposely obscure (a trademark of the continentals) at the heart are some deeply analytical thoughts which is why, I suspect,...

Is there only one kind of truth; only one kind of reality? Or are there several types of reality? The sentence "Emma Bovary died by suicide" is true although "Emma Bovary" is only a fictitious entity, an element of an inter-subjective reality (in ...

What is the purpose of trying to define "the good"? For either most or all of my life I've thought that most of the definitions I've seen of moral and ethical behavior and morality in general have been off. It is hard to dive and fully define this,...

I may be wrong, but I see religiosity as more of a generational belief system. Meaning it's something that is instituted and perpetuated from the parental role onto their offspring. Obviously, there's a huge geographic component to it as well. I've ...
