Philosophy - October 2006

Such as; Sally Sandwitch-"You always lie!"
Bobby Indhara-"Yes, yes i do always lie."

Now, if he always lies but told the truth about lieing then it would mean that he doesn't always lie which means that he lied about always lieing which means that he tells the truth, yet lied.

What is it called when something like the above happens?

Somehow I feel I am in the midst of greatness, am i alone? I feel an energy, it does not scare me, instead I feel unworthy.
Do you know me???

Was taht the first time you lied, deceived, ..whatever you want to call it..was that the "begining" of telling a lie to do or get what you want, because the majority of the time your under no suspicion. Can anyone think of an earlier first time they lied? Looking for general experiences that many of us could relate to.

I wrote this in a fit of depression:
Across all divisions of nationality, religion, race, class, the female is subservient, the oppressed figure throughout the totality of human history. The woman’s history is a history of tragedy; and yet they are too the unsung heroes of history, the reflection of benevolence in the image of humanity. It is life under the boot heel that warrants their tragic condition, but it is their sheer will to cope with such an existence that propels them to a heroic status. Women are the exemplification of salvation through suffering, not any sort of religious salvation, but artistic salvation. Their condition is the purest representation of artistic tragedy; their lives are the very canvas with which experience has documented their selfless suffering. The female is the ultimate display of not solely beauty, but art!

p.s. I am a dude, and a heterosexual, in case you were wondering. I just am so enamored with the female condition

We, as human beings, are seperated by color, caste, wealth, language, culture, nationality, mentality etc. In such complex difference, how can we be counted as just people?

in our evolution. That in fact we are not becoming smarter but less intellegent? The de-evolution of man idea suggests that as we depend more on the physical, scientific, process we actually give up a little more of a spiritual dimension.
If this is possible (is it plausible to you?) what are some other ideas that support this?

The principle of contradiction, the law of non-contradiction, states that: "something cannot both BE and NOT BE at the same time, in the same way, and in the same respect" That is, "A is not = to not A." Can this principle of logic be violated? Can something be both true and false at the same time and in the same sense, i.e. having the same meaning?

If so, HOW..Please DEMONSTRATE.


Demonstrate your answer by a CONCRETE EXAMPLE, e.g. "The principle can be violated in this situation.....ergo leading to the conclusion that this both IS and IS NOT in the same exact sense and way. (NOTE: A lot of things can be and not be , but NOT in the same way, e.g. A cup may be both white and not white, but not in the same way and in the same respect, i.e. the cup may have a white base but a blue handle.

Opinions do not violate the principle. Opinions are subjective, the principle deals with objectivity.

A THING CAN NEVER REPRESENT ANOTHER THING IF THERE IS NO EQUIVALENCE IN THEM.

You can never represent a thing having no equivalence in you.
