Philosophical Speculations

I am not disparaging the role of introspection by suggesting to clarify terms in a conversation. For example, two persons could have an extended conversation about football, yet one person is thinking European football (soccer), and the other is thinking American football. A 'simple' clarification o...

Federico, I get what you are suggesting re introspection, true and honest introspection can reveal differences between what we believe and what we know . . .

Some regard the soul as the immortal aspect of an individual, perhaps the inner-most thoughts, desires and feelings of a person. Does the soul evolve, or, is the soul the highest\purest ...
