  • Greater than any prophet, wiser than any mystic. And who does the world yet follow? The ignorance of religion.

  • @4Shia All three cases are arguable - the divine is a significantly limited entity in the works of Plato and Aristotle, more conceptual than interpersonal or interventionist, when it appears at all. There was certainly no singular noun involved in the decription of the divine.

    Philosophy is not religion, and you should feel deep intellectual shame for equating the two spheres of thought. The positive claim for the existence of god is beyond falsification, therefore innane.

  • Who the hell is Neetjee? Why can't narrators take the trouble to learn how to pronounce words and names properly?

  • I wouldn't take away the brilliance of Socrates, but he was a decadent just like the rest of the greeks who destroyed Dionysian tragedy in the name of sober Apollonian reason. His whole life was a sickness -- just as he alluded to before dying.

  • Socrates and Euthyphro both agree that is true, but Socrates argues that if is also true and something is pious because the gods love it then  and together would yield a self-perpetuating cycle in which the gods love the pious because it is the pious and the pious are only pious because the gods love

  • The Euthyphro dilemma arises when Socrates asks Euthyphro, “Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?” In other words, do the gods love something because it is pious or is something pious because the gods love it?

  • wow i have the same birthday as socretes! XD

  • "The Unexamamind life is not worth living" - Most spiritual philosopher, Socrates.
