Question by john889743: Do you think that Eminem is the greatest “modern” philosopher?
Is Eminem the Socrate or the Plato or the years 2000? Yes ? No? Explain your answer.

Answer by burgeous
Comparing Eminem, a contemporary rapper, to Socrates or Plato is a grave insult. He offers trivial sentiments and cliché words that rival that of motivational calenders. I think I just lost all faith in the human race.

“Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) is one of the most influential philosophers in the history of Western philosophy. His contributions to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics have had a profound impact on almost every philosophical movement that followed him.” In epistemology, a priori propositions can be known independent of (prior to) experience, whereas a posteriori propositions can be known only on the basis of experience (after experience). Thus, the distinction between a priori and a posteriori corresponds roughly to the distinction between nonempirical and empirical knowledge. The a priori / a posteriori distinction is applied to ways of knowing, propositions, arguments, and concepts. Because of its dependence upon verification by experience, the foundation for classifying a proposition as a posteriori is more easily grasped. An a priori concept can be acquired independently of experience, which may include, but is not necessarily confined to innate concepts. In logic, a proposition is a statement, couched as a declarative sentence, that affirms or denies the predicate, and that is either true or false. An analytic proposition can variously be described as a proposition whose predicate concept is contained within its subject concept, a proposition that is true by definition, whose truth depends solely on the meaning of its terms, or a proposition that is made true solely by the conventions of language. Analytic propositions, because truth is built in by virtue …

This is for soc…how do you think ordinary people of pre modern generations (before the European Enlightenment) determined what was true/accurate/correct about their world and what was not?

Another example of why mind-body dualism illustrates why I studied science and not philosophy. I sometimes think that some philosophers belong in caves, gazing at the flickering shadows of unfettered imagination on the wall. Joking aside, neurosurgeons and neurologists would be very unlikely to subscribe to the notion that the soul, mind, or consciousness exist independent of the processes of the physical mind. Evidence suggests that these are all experiential manifestations of brain activity. David John Chalmers is an Australian philosopher specializing in the area of philosophy of mind. In “The Conscious Mind” (1996), “Chalmers argues that all forms of physicalism (whether reductive or non-reductive) that have dominated modern philosophy and science fail to account for the existence (that is, presence in reality) of consciousness itself. He proposes an alternative dualistic view he calls naturalistic dualism (but which might also be characterized by more traditional formulations such as property dualism, neutral monism, or double-aspect theory).” en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org “If I understand the basic idea, naturalistic dualism holds that consciousness: – Is not a reducible phenomenon – Cannot be explained in terms of function – Is fundamentally different from anything physical or any function of anything physical, and is therefore a qualitatively different entity from anything else in the known universe source …

This course would not promote one religion over another, but discuss the many religions in our country and around the world so the students would have a better understanding of these religions.

It would be an elective course, not required for any student. What do you think?

Do you think religion can provide complete philosophy of spirituality? OR anthing you want to add to help enlighten all of us?

Thanks so much for answering. Peace, Love and Blessings!

I use religion in a very general sense. Maybe I mean spirituality.

I just get the sense that there will be a convergence of these things, relatively soon.
