Philosophy (Arts & Humanities) - December 2006

If an Asian says that "all Asians are lying?"

or Zenon's paradoxes;"you have to pass infinite numbers of the points to reach somewhere,to move; so moving-change is not something possible."

They are not logical or illogical and there is no responses for them for centuries. My question is not about proving them or not.

My question is about how they are part of our lives? If they are part of our lives, are our lives logical?

There can be a wrong in my question because of my language, if there is pardon me.

Somethings about freedom... Could it even exist?

freedom is such a strange thing to think about. I am free to be protected from killers but killers are not suppose to be free to kill. For every law we lose a freedom, for every lack of a law we lose a freedom just as in this example given. If it was legal for killers to kill i would not be free to not worry about being killed. So really, we can't be any more free or less free at any time due to this. But since the laws set up by people can be broken anyway and they are just suppose to have consequence that may or may not occur, we are actually free to do anything we can imagine and are capable to do. Yet, in the end, I believe that everything is determined anyway since there is no other factor to determine our actions other then our past and maybe genetics, and anything else would have to be attributed to randomness, which is not attributed to free will either. So everyone is entirely without freewill despite their making choices.

Is it philosophical to close philosophical questions in here?!?

We are answering some questions in here, that is good but we are closing them! I mean they are not really answered and (my opinion) they cannot be answered!

Only we can decide which answer we like most with voting them but closing the topics(with saying they are answered) does not seem philosophical to me. If philosophical questions are not philosophical, this is not logical.

Have we redefined "community"?

The dear people at Yahoo Answers gave me an award for "Community Leadership," and I am very pleased and proud. But I wonder if this is another communications breakthrough here: we have redefined the term "community" to apply to virtual space instead of geographical space. How do you feel about this new concept of Community? Will it work magic for peace and prosperity? Liberty and justice for all?

Does education rob us of our originality?

"The main use of an education consists in the check it gives to originality, and the way in which it prevents an inconvenient number of people from using their own eyes.

That we will not be at the trouble of looking at things for ourselves if we can get any one to tell us what we ought to see goes without saying, and it is the business of schools and universities to assist us in this respect."

help paraphrase?

common vulnerabilities such as physical pain are enough to ground widespread prohibitions against murder or causing gratuitous pain. with this there can be no argument.
