Philosophical Speculations

Wonderful chart

In terms of idealism, as noted before me, love has an essential feature of being, a feature of integration of what was once unified. Such an attribute of integration you find for example in Spinoza's intellectual love. But I do not think that Spinoza's moral attitude, which is in some ways close to...

I only listened to a bit of it and I'm not familiar with Böhme. My off-the-wall comments are: 1) this is why people plunge into ecstatic dance, which is quite like being a child; and 2) since, all tribal names mean The People, it may be time to start hearing it that way. Im not sure i understand wh...

It's a bit funny that the cover says Jesus the King of the Jews. I'm in favor of peace between religions and all that, but from a brief reading of what the guy writes, I don't think that Judaism is about the negation of the will. The negation of the will is good to some extent, but in general Judai...

As for physics, I have nothing to add. On the philosophical side, have you considered reading similar things written on the subject? When I read what you write, I am reminded for example of Spinoza's statement: "The order and connection of ideas is the same as the order and connection of things...

Interesting. There's an ancient Jewish commentator named Rashi who interpreted it as follows. After Isaac asks Abraham where is the lamb for a burnt-offering, "Abraham said: 'God will provide Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son", for this Rashi says the punctuation should be: &q...

After Melchizadek offered his sacrifice, he made a blessing on Abraham. Years later, god asked Abraham to return to Moria (the site of the future Temple in Jerusalem) to make another sacrifice. Abraham’s son Isaac travelled with him and when they arrived Abraham gave Isaac the wood for the sacrific...

Are you sure this is a version of idealism? Flipping through the article, he seems to attribute to a certain part of the brain our core of consciousness, "emotions." The Blind Will strikes again, this time through Freud. Perhaps the proponents of the blind will, will confirm there claims a...
