Philosophy ( Archived) (29)

Adreanna here is a couple of I. Kant's works that can be interesting for you ... but when you will read them do remember I. Kant was never married ... He often said about himself that when he needed a wife he was too poor to feed one, and when he was at last able to feed one he did not need one anymore.
Anyhow The Science of Right and Critique of Judgment gave me a lot to think about ... I would like to know what do you think about The Science of Right... just curious...lol

LMAO!!

I admit that the science of right is complex, when reading i took from it that right is sought through analyzing freedom,morality,and surrenduring, not stating that this is what right is but these three must be looked at when defining right. Here is three principles i pulled from an exerpt.


1. Honeste vive. “Live rightly.” juridical rectitude, or honour (honestas juridica), consists in maintaining one’s own worth as a man in relation to others. This duty may be rendered by the proposition: “Do not make thyself a mere means for the use of others, but be to them likewise an end.”

(lex justi). 2. Neminem laede. “Do wrong to no one.” This formula may be rendered so as to mean: “Do no wrong to any one, even if thou shouldst be under the necessity, in observing this duty, to cease from all connection with others and to avoid all society”

(lex juridica). 3. Suum cuique tribue. “Assign to every one what is his own.” This may be rendered, “Enter, if wrong cannot be avoided, into a society with others in which every one may have secured to him what is his own.” .



thank you for your suggestion(will have a good read tonight lol)


ooo I was wondering if you ever heard the explanation of the diamon? origination of thought came from socrates, but the thought of the diamon is quit insperational especially popular in a womans perspective.

Yes, and thus begins Western Civilization as we know it.

Very good excerpts. I love women who have minds.

It's so attractive to have a woman quote the classics.

In the Empires before Greece, there was publishing of individual liberties which the US so-called "Patriot Act" takes away. After 2,000 years of civilization and thinking we have these principles removed by non-Greeks.

Sorry, edt...It should read "There was no publishing of individual liberties..."

I like Plato's view of the noble savage. I thought the philosopher king was pretty cool. I always thought it would be neat to find the philosopher's stone.

Adreanna as for Nietsche The Gay Science is a very enjoyable tto read. And intresting concepts and meanings of his Amor Fati ... you are definently will be busy in the evenings from now on... lol

Philosopher stone ... wonder, miracle ... Roy i think everyone of us ARE the philosopher stone ...

EXACTLY, kenigsberg! EXACTLY!

I see your point of view. I remember in philosophy class the ideas of concepts in the virtual world were compared to forms in the physical world. Where in the virtual world things were perfect but things in the physical world were imperfect. I thought it was significant in that perfection is an virtual ideal rather than a physical reality. I thought the reverse notion that the flaw found in physical reality can be more desirable than the perfection found in virtual reality. I found Plato's Republic to be interesting reading. I thought it was cool that he thought so much of his teacher Socrates. I thought it was also equally interesting that the Euclid's math theories were different than Einstien's formulas. I was facinated by Descartes use of x and y in his graphs. Ayn Rand's work seem to me so much more interesting than Camus. Socrates fascinated me because his gad fly approach challenged the dogma of his day. He actually went around to see if the people in high office really had any idea of what they were doing.
