Philosophical Speculations

But obstinate questionings of that sort, if pursued further, would leave no time to give an idea of the actual substance of the book. Remind you of anyone? Should I hide in the corner :lol: I'll get back to you on this later because I find Jaynes work hard to digest in the sense we are asked to 'th...

Strangely enough, Descartes demonstrated the limit of logic (and primitive of consciousness), with the 'Cogito' and perhaps may have been better to just say "I am". I'm sympathetic to his attempt to figure things out logically though I oppose the dualism it assumed. The Cartesian experime...

Shamanism was practiced here in the UK as far back as 26,000 years ago and lasted until the Christians arrived and slaughtered them Ehm … can you clarify what you mean by this? The Romans that invaded Britain weren’t Christian. By the time the Vikings invaded, Christianity had spread widely, but I’...

There's no issue with respectfully arguing the case for the distinction between philosophy and theology ~ although, as mentioned above, given BK's overall body of work I'm not sure he would make such a distinct bifurcation as you do. Case in point, check out the video below, in which he talks about...

So you failed to notice I said "in the Kant essay or this essay", or you noticed and intentionally ignored it. Either way I have grown tired of holding your hand like an unruly child so I am done until you make a substantive contribution on this forum. (you started off well mentioning Jul...

It does seem somewhat incongruous how this all went from "Ashvin, I really enjoyed reading this. Is there more to come?" to seemingly being dissed as a poorly argued pseudo-philosophy. What brought this on, I'm not sure, but it's now degenerating into the kind of exchange that is not in k...

Bottom line - there are plenty of non-theological philosophical arguments in the essays which you can choose from to critique, yet you consistently choose not to critique any of them but instead focus on how everyone who you disagree with is not doing "proper" philosophy. There is nothing...

I suspect it may be better placed here seeing as though it references the title of your essay "Metamorphoses of the Spirit: Incarnating the Christ" You placed it here disingenuously to call me "disingenuous". Have we debated before on Thinkspot? Because your childish tactics rem...

I had no idea what you are talking about anymore. I suspect you might if you paid more attention to what it is that I might be doing. But in order to do that you would need to drop your assumptions and beliefs and just follow what I am actually doing. I also suspect that you are quite capable of do...

I am getting a bit tired of addressing these completely irrelevant arguments instead of the specific claims made in the essay and elsewhere<. ..................................> So can we just save ourselves the trouble and move on to something that was actually mentioned in the essay ? Happy to ob...
