  • This man has taken Aristotle's quotes out of context: "...that reality and truth do transcend the factual and empirical" and the speaker's statement, "The notion that the metaphysical takes us beyond the things of this world is an abiding implication of the term". Aristotle said that metaphysics transcends beyond the empirical [senses] not 'beyond the things of this world', that is more in line with Plato's version of metaphysics, we do not know things by seeing but by abstracting from reality

  • great ...

  • @Azariah197 that is indeed a good philosophy for a philosopher :)

  • @needabloodyname Actually, if you know what "catholic" and "university" means, it's more like a tautology. (And yes, I see your pseudo-recant above.)

  • @whoisgv ok I admit that my comment was pretty stupid but still, it's not suprising that catholics developmed the first universities when you consider how much of the population was catholic at the time.

  • @needabloodyname Ever attend a graduation? Secondary, university or otherwise? Why does everyone wear gowns that look suspiciously like medieval Catholic vestments? Again, because Catholics CREATED the modern University.

  • @needabloodyname Sir, don't BE a moron. Catholics INVENTED the university: Oxford, Paris, heard of them? I know what you think you know from listening to the chatter your entire life (because I used to think the same), but spend thirty minutes READING the 13th-century Catholic Scholastics like Aquinas and Scotus--these men had more knowledge than any of us watching YouTube can ever hope to grasp!

  • @needabloodyname I know what you are implying, but the bible does not teach ignorance. Take 1 Thessalonians 5:21 for example: Test everything. Hold on to the good.

  • "catholic University" Now there is an oxymoron.

  • bueno
