Political Philosophies

You don't really want me to believe you're that dense do you?

Yeah. No one is buying your act. If you cannot explain what you mean then you most likely have no idea what you mean yourself. Maybe you do but your position of I am too smart for others smells like just the opposite.

Apparently you can't read either.

That's very funny.

You are assuming people look for answers to life's questions and dilemmas. Mostly they (we) are set and react rather than think. Imagine the complex being who wonders daily what is up. It would be a philosophic 'Groundhog Day' every day. I have a thread on another site that has over 55k views on 'why study philosophy.' My argument is thought is hard. Maybe start one here?

A few links - you know I have lots and lots. lol


"Science asks and answers its big questions, so why is philosophy taking its time? Because it’s only just getting started"

I loved this piece as it is something I too have experienced in life.

"It is not enough to ask, ‘Will my act harm other people?’ Even if the answer is No, my act may still be wrong, because of its effects on other people. I should ask, ‘Will my act be one of a set of acts that will together harm other people?’ The answer may be Yes. And the harm to others may be great. If this is so, I may be acting very wrongly..."

...and while we are deep in thought about this, a Roman soldier comes up and whacks us on the neck with his gladius.

Archimedes was unavailable for comment, because he was whacked on the back of his neck with a gladius for being too deeply engrossed in a problem to pay the soldier any attention..

I use this example to point out you need to be practical in your philosophy to survive.

You have absolutely nothing with which to validate your baseless BS again.

You are simply a radical $#@! disturber to be ignored.

Happy Sunday.

Can you elaborate on 'practical philosophy'?

Jeebus. What is with you?

[Tahuyaman]

What is it with some people who're so disappointed in their current political beliefs that they refuse to lend any credence to the thoughts of past political philosophies?

Specifically which past political philosophies would you be referring to?

[Tahuyaman]

What and who is the OP about?

It’s about the validity of unspecified past political philosophies.
