[Revised entry by Christine Sypnowich on July 28, 2010. Changes to: Main text, Bibliography] If law is a system of enforceable rules governing social relations and legislated by a political system, it might seem obvious that law is connected to ideology. Ideology refers, in a general sense, to a system of political ideas, and law and politics seem inextricably intertwined. Just as ideologies are dotted across the political spectrum, so too are legal systems. Thus we speak of both legal systems and ideologies as...

[New Entry by Dominic Murphy on July 28, 2010.] Philosophical discussions of mental illness fall into three families. First, there are topics that arise when we treat psychiatry as a special science and deal with it using the methods and concepts of philosophy of science. This includes discussion of such issues as explanation, reduction and classification. Second, there are conceptual issues that arise when we try to understand the very idea of mental...

  • 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.
