Philosophy - February 2007

King Solomon and Honest Abe attest to the validy of everything passing. How do we know when to expect such an event, either with reference to minor items or events, or major ones?
"The end of the world" does not seem likely, more certainly 'the end of the universe' sounds impossible ("......... the earth abideth forever." Jesus) . So what determins the end of things now existent, and how do we anticipate when it will happen?

Hey everyone,
I am doing a paper about ontologists and philosophers and these terms keep popping up. Can someone please explain them to me?

What exactly is a realist phenomenologist? I want a general concept so I can grasp the idea.

Also, what is transcendental idealism?

And whats metaphysics?

Cuz if God made us and gave us all life he obviously wanted us to live our lives, and be thankful to him, but not spend our lives completely devoted to him, Right?? I have no idea... i have nothing against Religion and respect other peoples devotion to it, but i want a deeper understanding of all the sides of the argument. I think, I think that if God was gratious enough to make us he must be gratious enough to let us live lives without going to church and take it as compliment that we are using his creation of life to the fullest.

And if you say you HAVE a skeleton... then what, specifically, is it that is doing the having? And don't say "my body," because part of your body IS the skeleton.

This is a serious question. You however can give an answer to the opposite, which is "are aninmals smarter then humans and give your reasons why you think so?"

Does anyone know where I can buy all 11 volumes of Will Durant's Story of Civilization? They're out of print and all I can find are individual copies but never a whole (matching) set.

Hate is stronger. It has to be. Hate is stronger because it is controlled by a stronger passion. I believe that you can measure how 'strong' an emotion is by figuring out the effect it can have on others, ie the result of the love or of the hate. Love would be called a meeker brother to hate because its actions are not manifested as strongly as is Hate's. A man who loves all would be able to help an elderly lady across the street, or return a lost wallet, but not to sabotage another's house, or to punch a man in the face. Therefore, love doesn't have anywhere near as 'powerful' an impact as an act of Hatred can have. Hatred's actions can be far stronger.
Then again, perhaps there are other ways to judge the strength of emotions. People who love one another have been known to offer up their life for that person. This is, in my mind, far stronger a bond than hate..

That's all I can fit on here, please go here:
