Are there any famous gay people in history?

admin — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 12:13:01 +0000

Question by D.K.: Are there any famous gay people in history?
Besides modern day gay people, such as celebrities/actors, are there any famous gay scientists, philosophers, army generals, kings/queens, etc. throughout history? I’m just curious, because I rarely/never hear about them, if they existed.

I’m thinking that there were some, but they were probably likely to be killed/arrested if they were open about it, so they kept it quiet.

I can name 100′s of male philosophers, astrologists, mathematicians and scientists who discovered/invented things. Modern day scientists, astrologists, philosophers and the like are just being taught/told things.

Am I a Modern Day Philosopher? If so, are there more?

Question by Am I Cool Yet?: Am I a Modern Day Philosopher? If so, are there more?
My deep thought is so overwhelming I don’t even know what to do anymore. I.e. I spend almost 3 hours just thinking about my existence, thinking about our society and co-existing individual lives. Its like I can take a ‘Birds Eye View’ over Humanity at anytime. Like I can, AT ANYTIME, just…Remote View anywhere. I dont have it mastered, but I can do it pretty good. I’ve also felt strong connections with an entity I believe. An entity of a higher plain. Now I know that most of you are like “Wow, NOW I know this dude is crazy.” But please understand that us humans, are more sensitive to the ‘unknown’ then you actually know. And everyday, my third eye is getting stronger, I can tell because I often see orbs, and shadow people, and I believe, astral forms just passing by. Im only a 18 year old looking for a higher purpose. And often my mind is physically feels like its pumping something, like its pulsating, and this energy is like WAY OVER WHELMING, and its like my mind is being hand messaged by God or something lol Like seriously, and it only happens when I channel my thoughts into the ‘Deep Abyss’ lol thats what I call it. Because that’s where I find most of my answers I look for. I used to use drugs, like Weed, and that fake weed, that REALLY STRONG fake weed, and I strongly believe that really enhanced my psychic abilities.
Yea, Im often viewed upon as ‘weird’ by people who do not understand. : /

Is there a career place for philosophers?

Question by dti42: Is there a career place for philosophers?
The philosophy courses at my university are all based on learning past philosophy, I want to pursue philosophy as a career, but not teaching others what dead people said. Is there a place for modern day philosophers?
The answer from milhea is pointless because I’ve already done thought and I’ve found that I’d rather do something I enjoy everyday instead of getting stuck in some stinking hole of an office where my every day purpose is to ensue I am as difficult and obnoxious as possible because I hate my job, as she probably does. FACTUAL answers and opinions only please people, I actually want REAL answers.

Best answer:

Answer by CogitoErgoCogitoSum
you dont need a college degree to be a philosopher.

Taking philosophy at college, all you learn is the history of philosophy

College degrees in philosophy are only good for teaching philosophy.

I recommend just taking logic and critical thinking courses.

Is there any place for philosophy in modern physics?

admin — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 00:13:03 +0000

Question by Jon: Is there any place for philosophy in modern physics?
I ask because I recently posted a question asking if chaos and quantum theories shed any light on the philosophical issue of freedom versus determinism. I had only one, rather patronizing, answer, which informed me that: a) quantum and chaos theories are theories (thanks for that) b) I should go to a physics department where people actually DO things and c) Philosophy is of no value because philosophers do not ‘do’ anything.

Would any physicists like to provide an alternative view, or indeed a better answer?

Question by Bill: Is there a good book which describes the evolution of religion/philosophy/thought throughout history?
From as early as Mesopotamia to the present age. I am looking for something uniformly organized and detailed.

Answer by asavanu
Some 100-level (introductory) courses in departments like Modern Languages or Comparative Literature look at the history of western civilizations through a study of myths, birth of religions and development of major philosophical schools/ideas. Most of such courses and books touch upon, though briefly so, other civilizations and regions as well, usually to provide a background on their influence on Greek culture. Best is to google for their course readings and check out amazon for the reviews of those books.

I would also suggest checking Etienne Gilson’s classic “God and Philosophy” though it is more of a philosophy book than history, and starts with the Greeks.
