If our Fate is but one amongst many, then whose life, if anyone's, is real? If our lives are indeed the sum-total of the choices we've made, then how can we change who we are. But with every new choice we're given, can we change who we're going to be?

Can something exist without it being thought of?
I don't know why this thought flew into my head, but it did and I'd like to know what you think.
Thanks.

I am almost positive it doesn't exist. So what do you all think? I am after a philosophical answer, not a religous one.

Mine is apathetic answerers who show they haven't put any real thought into where the question is coming from or why it was asked. Most times it's obvious, but lazily overlooked.

I have to write a paper on the Voltaire's Candide, but I didn't really understand it all. Could anybody help me with these concepts and point out where examples might be found in the book? Thanks!

1.) The characters and the themes they represent.
2.) Examples of toleration, rule of law and freedom of opinion
3.) The historical significance of the book.

Is truth, or the belief that truth cannot lie, the original sin ?

It is interesting to see that some people believe that religion and science do not intersect and they operate on different levels without interesection. Simple logic would suggest that if religion is true, this Gods Science, and the assumed connection to a higher being would be infallible, and operate on a much higher of reliability than mans science which is fallible. Where is this connection, if there is one ? Is there a connection between science and religion ?

Back in 1987, as part of Itlalian Week Saint Anthony's Church on Banning Street received a grant to undertake a workshop on the 'traditional family values" and the pressures being put on the family. In around the same time it was noted that that models used by the 'Childrens Aid Society' in Ontario had been corrupted. A letter to the editor, in the Chronicle Journal and the Thunder Bay Post explaining this fact was published.

What was involved

my teacher asked me what is the greatest legacy of emile durkheim to social and political philosophy. i chose suicide. we all know that durkheim is a sociologist, so his works are obviously related to social philosphy. but what about the political part?
