Philosophy - April 2007

and to consciously choose courses of action do anything to help reconcile human freedom with the determinist thesis (either the scientific or the religious version)? Would there be any unacceptable consequences for either a scientis or Judaeo-Christian with adopting suca a Soft Determinist perspective? Carefully and critically explain your answer....plz..and thank you!

i have talked to many philosophers and also alot of website. and all of them said they were irrefutable, but also "neccesserily incoherent" is the most commonly phrased when describing solipsism. it is also declared baseless and foundationless in order for it to make sense to itself.

any ideas?

From nothing you get nothing..and something is something
But what about nothing to something....

I dunno... just something i've been thinking about, since right now i'm sort of freaking out about a love interest pulling away. why is it that everyone loves music... can relate to certain songs and the passionate lyrics in them about love and yearning and desperately needing to be with a person... lyrics like "i was nothing before i met you..." or "so weak and powerless over you...." or "i'd die without you" or something....

but in real life when you talk like that (or god forbid acted on some of that stuff!) you'd be seen as crazy or desperate or inappropriate, etc.?

Why can we listen to these things as art, but we can't *live* them? Are we in denial?

This is a reply to a question asked previously by somebody:
If you could have 1 word erased from the dictionary, along with its definition, what word would it be?

Are there any ideas out there about what the word we forgot is, since we can't 'remember' how to stick together and live together like a family on this planet.

Take a min of your time and think of all the things you know in your head and all the good days and bad days..but think mostly on your good days.
Now tell me how old you are and how you feel.
Do you know what will happin tomorrow...No..Nobody knows
Ask yourself if this life of yours realy is the real thing.and if it is....well then...go and enjoy it will you can because life is short and time is running out....

Based on the hypothetical question:
If shooting and going on rampages were legal world-wide, do you think America would have one of the highest rates of rampages?

Cho Seung Hui, according to wikipedia "Kim [Gyeong-won], Cho's friend in elementary school for three years met Cho in fifth grade, attending the same classes and riding the school bus together. There were only three Korean students in the school.[18] Back then, he said, nobody hated Cho and he "was recognised by friends as a boy of knowledge... a good dresser who was popular with the girls." Cho kept a distance from others because he chose to do so. Kim added that "I only have good memories about him.""

It wasn't until high school that he was picked on, taunted, told "to go back to china", and "The taunting got so bad for Cho that news quickly spread around school that he had drawn up a 'death list' of students he wanted to kill"

Open ended question, please refrain from emotional responses and give honest logical ones.

I mean seriously, I am 19 years old and paying my fair share of social security taxes for something THAT WILL NOT EXIST any time anywhere near when I retire... it is estimated that funds will be defunct by the year 2041. Well that screws over my generation. Well, that's what I think about it. What I want to know is what you think about it, and what you think should and can be done about it.

Could I just be making them up? What's wrong with me?

These emotions are not new. Again, this semester I'm starting to feel uncomfortable whenever I am around people. I feel silent, awkward, uncomfortable with myself and others. Call it whatever you want to call it...anxiety, low cofidence...etc. I feel ugly, lame, extremely stupid and vulnerable. I feel like I'm forced to speak. Somedays I feel invisible, alone and other days I want to be invisible. Somedays I feel like I'm not noticed, other days I feel like everyone is staring at me, thinking negative things about me, greatly incompetent. I've always had an A gpa, but this semester I lost myself in so many ways and I am failing my classes. I'v disappointed my professors, my classmates, myself. I keep a positive attitude these days, but why does this keep on happening? Last semester I misinterpreted things, but I showed confidence, leadership skills, people looked up to me, I was noticed, busy and got straight A's. Illness?

What is the meaning of "utopia" by Thomas More.

While reading utopia, theres an obvious and almost opposite meaning attributed to the word compared to modern day meaning...

so i was wondering... what actually did utopia mean to More.
