Or is visual art necessarily more cerebral.
I can look at a Winslow Homer painting and imagine myself having fun or being serene in nature and all, but well-played patriotic music will give one goose bumps and pride. A little nocturne by Field or Chopin can induce true melancholy or aching nostalgia. Rachmaninov and Wieniawski can make people shed tears, and they may not even be able to explain "why." So, I am interested in hearing what you have to say. Is this just my aesthetic preference/prejudice? Are there people who cry or get feelings of patritiotism stirred up by paintings?

I'm form the UK and recently saw Jesus camp on DVD. I believe what I saw on this DVD constituted as child abuse. Any Americans out there agree?

This type of southern state, bible belt mentalilty, with the introduction of religion ruling politics, is how things are done in some middle Easern countries!! Religion and religious fanatics should be kept out of politics.....or Amerca will turn into Afganistan

How can a pure mind be tied up with matter full of evil. How can these two opposites come into rrelationship wit each other?
In referrence, all prominent philosophers agreed that matter is is spontaneous, thus a seat for evil.
Setting aside Descartes' controversial theory of dualism, please explain the relationship between pure matter and pure mind in the general idea encompassing broad inclusion of everything in existence.

I don't wanna hear from anyone that says Nelson Mandela.

Mine is Mohammad Ali because he stood up for what he believed in when he refused to join the US army in Vietnam.

Just a name and a very brief explanation why will be greatly appreciated.

Im currently doing a supposedly "research paper" which is actually more like a thesis already. My topic was originally concerned with the rise of philippine indie films in general/collectively but after consulting my professor in that subject last week, he told me to select a particular indie film and use film theory as the methodology but I cant understand how I should do it. please help! my paper's already overdue and Im still clueless!

Last semester I took my first Philosophy class. We studied Plato's dialogues on Socrates for a big portion of the class. I plan on taking some more philosophy classes next semester so I am reviewing what I studied last semester to prepair. I'm new to philosophy and am still trying to figure things out.

In the Euthyphro i'm trying to figure out the elenctic method. Do you think it is a useful method or problematic?
Personally I think it's a good tool to use, but I can't figure out WHY I think this. It can cause some problems. How does socrates use the 'elenchus' to refute the definitions of piety that Euthyphro gives?

Do you have any other good points about the Euthyphro? Any other discussions?

it gets info on things that people search for and sites that people pull up so does this mean that if WE ALL collectively
start searching for POSITIVE things everytime we get on our pCs ( at least just one time before we surf )
that we may be able to have some type of possitive influence for our future? or at least we can prove that a computer is not a fortune teller. ok.... whos with me?
