What are the five characterizations that make this statement an item of unshakeable grounds for descartes? Why might it be both self-evidential and inferential argument?

The Spiritual Living or Material Living, Who is able to cope with all the problems of life ? Spiritualist or Materialist ? When we take a look at the environment around us, whom do you think, coping with problems of life better in the longer run of one life time ? Who dies more peacefully ? the believer in God or Non - believer ? When the only sure fact is that the Ultimate Destruction with Death, why so clinging to the ephimerals by the materialist ? Why so much hesitation to let Go ? Are selfish materialists building up things on the Basic board of Materialism are not going to die ? or are they going to be permanent materially ? What does History point to ? May be spiritually people can be permanent.. Dialectical Materialism, is it a very short run, short term vision of Frogs in the Well, who actually never practice what they preach ? Is Selflessness a Material aspect or Spiritual aspect,Why should someone help another if that's not bringing in Him material rewards?So which is basic?

I am looking into buying some Jean Paul Sartre and Heidegger, especially "Being and Nothingness" and "Being and Time."

What are the best translations? There are two of each.

On B&N, there is the one with JPS on a chair and the other with a pic.

On B&T, there's the black cover and also the one with the leaf.

OK. I'll admit it. I'm playing with your mind. Same as I play with mine.

But really, if you wanted to, could you leave the planet?

I want to start getting into philosophy and I was wondering should I start off studying philosophy as a whole or should I start off studying it subject by subject? Like starting with epistemology first and then moving to ethics, metaphsyics, politics, etc. I would really like your opinions.

Please don't say going to heaven, or get a life, get a haircut, etc. I want a serious answer. If you don't know, just say it, and then think some. Like I am... Thanks and I appreciate your thoughtful answers.

This is causing bloodshed and killings of thousands of innocent lives. When we can not give life to one, what right do we have to kill or to be the reason of such killings ?

We all need to be govern by a set of laws, yet a supernaturally preordained ethical system is often a morality without meaning, and moral relativism do not resolve moral judgements in disagreement?

Is it always a tedious case by case process, or do a universal system exist but is undiscovered by all?Hope that made sense.

Thanks.

What careers are available to a philosophy major? Whats the market value of one?

So far, my only plans is to get all my necessary degrees and move on to graduate school and have a career as a professor/researcher. I would like to know of more options so that I can fall back on if that doesn't work for me.

I didn't add a question to the last piece on celebrating parents (and my own). I want to ask now, anything specific that you feel they've suffered but in the end was a happy ending? Or if you just wanna share your love of parents, it is nice that we are approaching family/holiday time, anyways. I just wanna hear it. It will make may day. Thanks..

If your mind could leave your body,
whether as a permanent alternative to physical death or just for temporary amusement, and enter into a world that is indistinguishable from reality.
Would you go? What sort of world would you want to go into?, what would you look like?

I just have to say there is none like a parent's love. I love my mom. There is no love greater than a parent's. The capacity is unimaginable and I just wanna say thanks to all parents who really try!

I feel like crying when I think how my friend who didn't have good parents suffered much. I appreciate everything my parents have done my father and how hard he worked... I think there is no greater love (human).

This belongs in philosophy because there is much traffic here.

Thanks for letting me share.
