From infancy, almost, the average girl is told that marriage is her ultimate goal; therefore her training and education must be directed towards that end. Like the mute beast fattened for slaughter, she is prepared for that.- Marriage and Love -- Emma Goldman

[Revised entry by Paul Redding on July 22, 2010. Changes to: Main text, Bibliography] Along with J. G. Fichte and F. W. J. von Schelling, Hegel (1770 - 1831) belongs to the period of "German idealism" in the decades following Kant. The most systematic of the post-Kantian idealists, Hegel attempted, throughout his published writings as well as in his lectures, to elaborate a comprehensive and systematic ontology from a "logical" starting point. He is perhaps most well-known...

As promised, I have some remarks on the continuation of the issue that Carine Defoort broaches and that Rein Raud has responded to in a published discussion between the two of them (Philosophy East and West 56:4, 2006). It’s an issue about the demarcation of philosophy and what it means, and has meant, to call [...]Raud and Defoort (or, Defoort continued)

[New Entry by Steven Hecht Orzack and Patrick Forber on July 22, 2010.] "Adaptationism" refers to a family of views about the importance of natural selection in the evolution of organisms, in the construction of evolutionary explanations, and in defining the goal of research on evolution. Advocates of adaptationism or "adaptationists" view natural selection among individuals within a population as the only important cause of the evolution of a trait; they also typically believe that the construction of explanations based solely on natural selection to be the most fruitful...

  • Cado : Five day moment of silence. I figured I would have had to learn how to write and express my thoughts through typing before I was missed on here. It seems my ignorance is worthy after all ;)
  • Msafwan : No silence for you. No silence death without an honor! Kaplah!! (waaargh!)
  • JK713 : Moment of silence anyone?
  • Cado : Now I remember why I left school. There is no heart here. It was fun, wake up, and sorry for any negative emotions you might have felt. Peace!
  • JK713 : philosophy: Investigation of the nature, causes, or principles of reality, knowledge, or values, based on logical reasoning rather than empirical methods
  • Cado : Are there any Stoics here? Are there any who believe in altruism in ethics? Are there any at all who are truly virtuous? It seems so far that everyone talks, and through there words it becomes known that they do not actualy DO philosophy unless they believe doing philosophy is simply thinking logicaly and talking. But what of true philosophical action, what we now call applied philosophy?
  • JK713 : This site is always cyclical in nature. Now that I'm back things will pick up again.
  • funkgunk : 'I think this site has died - at least for the time-being' would seem so
  • Msafwan : No it is not. It is alive, it is alive! ngehahaha!
  • Sam26 : I think this site has died - at least for the time-being
  • Sam26 : No
  • yanshien : Anyone here?
  • yanshien : 有没有使用汉语的人？
  • Szavieur : This chat box reminds me of the dead in the dark world in the last "His Dark Materials" novel.
  • Spar : Anyone here?
  • Szavieur : A lot of 'em've left us. :(
  • Sam26 : I haven't seen Td around - has he left us?
  • Sam26 : You know, you could be right
  • JK713 : Perhaps you had solved it in between your statement, and my asking if you had. It's not my fault you're not very efficient.
  • Sam26 : If I solved it, then it wouldn't be a quandary
  • JK713 : Well have you solved it then?
  • Sam26 : My life is a philosophical quandary
  • JK713 : So.. anyone solve any philosophical quandries lately?
  • Garbangw : «link» «link» «link» «link» «link»
  • Szavieur : Well, I feel at home on Earth (sort of), but I also constantly feel this strange feeling. I do have a theory about the meaning of these emotions but that's for my thread more than this chat box... I don't know how to connect this up with your scientist example, though.
