I´m a guy, not gay; but I just admire him SO MUCH; he looks so amazing. He acts, he sings, he is a modern-day philosopher. Just let me know your opinion about him and your hypothesis about his youthful appearance.

Question by heygirlhey: Can someone please help me with Hinduism questions?
I read an article on Hinduism and I am very confused. You can read the same article if you google “‘a modern Hindu philosopher’s understanding of caste”.

1. In what ways does Radhakrishnan defend the caste system?

2. What are his criticisms of Western societies’s class system (cold? competitive? raises false hopes?)

3.How does Radhakrishnan justify the use of caste to describe ‘vocation as service”? (meaning assigned jobs in life)

4. What do you think about Radhakrishnan’s argument that ‘happily the world is so arranged that each man’s good turns out to be the good of others”? (meaning that each man should happily fulfill his assigned job in life (brick layer, garbage collector, lawyer, etc) and that that job will benefit all of society.) Do you agree or disagree? Defend your argument

5. What do you think about his ideas about democracy, pay scales for certain jobs, and his opinion that “Democracy is so interpreted as to justify not only the very legitimate aspiration to bring about a more equitable distribution of wealth, but also the increasing tendency for a levelling down of all talent. This is not possible.”

6. What are your thoughts about his statement that ” Mechanical (factory) work should be economically more paying than even that of the artist of the statesman.For in the latter case, work is its own reward.”

can you please help me understand these questions?

Question by Love Doctor: Descartes and rationalism?
Descartes and other philosophers of the early modern period are often referred to as “rationalists.” What is “rationalism?” Why does Descartes believe that rationalism is the best starting point for philosophy? Do you agree with him? Explain, using relevant examples if necessary.

Best answer:

Answer by Bob
A rationalist believes in thinking and ideas as the the path to knowledge.
A empiricist believes in observation and experience as the path to knowledge.

One of Descartes beliefs is that a person can be fooled by his senses. Many variables affect how one sees an event . Different people experience the same event very differently. Therefore the senses are not to be trusted.

Descartes was a absolute rationalist. I don’t agree with that. There is much to be learned from observation. The minds interpretation of the events is another variable but not the only one as Descartes seems to claim.

Towards the unification of the behavioural sciences Professor Herbert Gintis (New Mexico, USA / Budapest, Hungary) Summary: Despite their distinct objects of study, the human behavioural sciences all include models of individual human behaviour. Unity in the behavioural sciences requires that there be a common underlying model of individual human behaviour, specialized and enriched to meet the particular needs of each discipline. Such unity does not exist, and cannot be easily attained, because the various disciplines have incompatible models and disparate research methodologies. Yet, recent theoretical and empirical developments have created the conditions for unity in the behavioural sciences, incorporating core principles from all fields, and based upon theoretical tools that transcend disciplinary boundaries. This presentation sketches a set of principles aimed at fostering such a unity. They include: (1) geneculture co-evolution as a unifying dynamical tool; (2) evolutionary and behavioural game theory as transdisciplinary lexicons for communication and model-building; (3) the rational actor model, rooted in evolutionary biology but developed in economic theory, applied to all the human behavioural disciplines; and (4) the treatment of strategic dynamical systems as complex adaptive systems with emergent properties.

Question by Anshun: Did Ancients have more knowledge of the spiritual world as we do material world?
Ancients are not more dumb than us moderns. Look at ancient Greek philosophers and Jewish prophets, they are smarter than most of us. We have more knowledge of material world because of accumilation of knowledge throughout centuries. Never be self-conceited. We learn if we are humble.

Question by Blue Sky: Faster than the speed of Light?
I’m guessing there are some people here who know of Schrodenger’s cat. Has anyone read Schrodenger’s rabbits?
Using the simplest particles of which our universe is built, the photon and the electron, the basic units of light and matter. Measuring the spin of an electron, or the polarization of a photon—seemingly has an instantaneous effect on the outcome of a measurement of another particle some distance away.
The formal name for this puzzle is the EPR paradox, after its originators Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen. It is the most puzzling feature of the modern formulation of physics known as quantum theory. For half a century, attempts by physicists and philosophers to explain this behavior have verged on the bizarre.
This implies a signal can be sent instanteously anywhere in the universe. Anyone know of the latest info on this subject?

Question by Ronald R: Who was this philosopher?
He stated that value was created by 4 things, all of which are caused or related to the consumer as opposed to the producer as Karl Marx said?

Question by SethK: Has anyone heard of a quote about Judas being the “true” representative of God on earth.?
I remember reading a quote from I think a modern author, philosopher, musician, someone, suggesting the idea that Judas was the “true” son of god, as the sacrifice of creating such a universally hated figure to polarise people towards believing you was of greater meaning than the sacrifice of Christ.
Has anyone heard of such a quote? It was written in a fairly “dramatic” style I think, yet I can’t find it anywhere.

This isn’t a question about whether the above idea is right or wrong, rather one to ask if anyone has heard of a quote alone those lines? And if so, could they point me to it? Thanks

Question by Friedrich Nietzsche: Was Nietzsche right? Are Christians nihilists?
Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the greatest and most profound philosophers of the modern era. I found it interesting that he called Christians, “Nihilists”. A Nihilist is someone who believes in nothing and thrives on destruction. I thought this was kind of funny at first until I thought about it. Christians really do believe in nothing because there isn’t actually a God. And they have thrived off of destruction throughout their entire history. I mean you have the fall of the Roman empire, the crucades, the inquisition, the holocaust, George W. Bush, etc. I personally think Nietzsche pegged ‘em right, but I was wondering what your thoughts are?

A public lecture I gave at my university on some research I’ve been doing. The debate over free will and determinism and their role in understanding human behavior and moral responsibility goes back as far as the Ancient Greeks. The modern argument has migrated to the field of neuroscience. Yet neither the modern debate, nor its historical predecessors have managed to provide much illumination of either human behavior or moral responsibility. In this talk, I will argue that we should abandon the concepts of free will and determinism entirely and instead shift towards thinking in alternate terms that will allow us to explain human behavior in terms of modern neuroscience and still make sense of moral responsibility.
