Philosophy - September 2007

When you discover the meaning of life you will know the reason for death. The entire totality of humanity is being held responsible for the death of one man, unjustly.
It is not religion. It is law. Study what a person convicted of cold-blooded murder must do to satisfy the court that he can be rehabilated. Then you will know where you stand. Then you can motion for clemency and perhaps begin the process to reverse the death sentence on yourself.

I came upon a kind of road choice, There stands up ahead, two Law Books. One has been at work longer than most have lived, The other is an off shoot, Law Book, young and quite demanding of a rightful place , so much so that it wants the other Law Book taken away and placed in bondage and out of sight. Of course, I do prefer one over the other and isn't that just the way to go.

to try and get you to download the paper I've posted there so I can "game" the download charts, would that be going too far?

America for saving the Vatican from Hitler. Was Pius xii the real power and mastermind behind the Holocaust and Hitler was only the "in place" fall-guy if something went wrong. Did the pope walk away scot-free above all suspicion?

When is *meaning* created?

Is there meaning in an act the moment it is performed? Or is the meaning determined later?

The degredation of the mind due to Alzheimer's disease proves that the mind and, resultantly, the human consciousness are both transient things.

Does this prove that most preconceived notions of an afterlife are fundamentally flawed? Most people believe that we will be able to perceive, evaluate and understand any kind of afterlife that may exist.

But clearly, as Alzheimers proves, the mind cannot possibly survive without a functioning human body. It is a possibility that a kind of eternal soul lives on, but, surely, if the consciousness dies then the thing that makes you an individual, self-aware human will cease also.

Opinions?

Sartre was of the opinion that EVERYTHING an individual says or does, is a choice. He did not view this as a positive thing, but rather believed that we are "condemned" to be free. He believed that when a person faints at the sight of blood, it is because s/he willingly, though perhaps subconsciously, gives up, and is thus responsible at some level for his or her faint.

Some are of the opinion that just about nothing is a choice; that everything is determined by psychological, genetic, environmental, or nurture-related factors. The religious might say that God determines everything. They might believe that if a person murders another, it is because s/he was put in a position where due to the makeup of her/his brain, for that individual, there were NO OTHER ALTERNATIVES. This also goes for good deeds; a person might give to the poor because it's inherently in her/his nature to do so.

Do you agree with either extreme? Why?
