Philosophical Disquisitions: March 2015
http://philosophicaldisquisitions.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Things hid and barr'd from common sense. Sunday, March 22, 2015. God, Immortality and the Futility of Life. William Lane Craig has a pretty dispiriting take on the atheistic view of life:. If there is no God, then man and the universe are doomed. Like prisoners condemned to death, we await our unavoidable execution. There is no God, and there is no immortality. And what is the consequence of this? Craig 2008, 72. Craig’s Two Conditions for Meaning. Over the years, I have written several pieces. That call...
Philosophical Disquisitions: Does God guarantee meaning in life? A Novel Argument for Atheism
http://philosophicaldisquisitions.blogspot.com/2015/08/does-god-guarantee-meaning-in-life.html
Things hid and barr'd from common sense. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Does God guarantee meaning in life? A Novel Argument for Atheism. But is this traditional picture of the relationship between God and meaning right? I have written numerous posts. Challenging it over the years. But I am always keen to find fresh perspectives. That’s exactly what Megill and Linford’s recent paper ‘ God, the Meaning of Life, and a New Argument for Atheism. 1 Why God’s Existence Should Guarantee Meaning. If our lives lack me...
Philosophical Disquisitions: September 2014
http://philosophicaldisquisitions.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Things hid and barr'd from common sense. Thursday, September 25, 2014. Dawkins and the "We are going to die"-Argument. I originally thought this would be a more interesting blog post, but I think the final product is slightly underwhelming. Indeed, I thought about not posting it at all. In the end, I felt there might be some value to it, particularly since there might be those who disagree with my analysis. If you are one of them, I'd love to hear from you in the comments. 1 The Epicurean Tradition.
Philosophical Disquisitions: August 2015

Things hid and barr'd from common sense. Sunday, August 30, 2015. Beginning to Exist and the Kalam Cosmological Argument. The Kalam Cosmological Argument (KCA) opens with the following premise:. 1) Whatever begins to exist has a cause of its existence. Craig 2008, 111-112. Ie in the realm of space and time). It’s much less compelling when we are trying to consider how the universe itself came into being. When we reach that point, our everyday metaphysical intuitions could go out the window&...8217; In th...
Philosophical Disquisitions: Can the mind stay young forever? (Part Two)
http://philosophicaldisquisitions.blogspot.com/2013/12/can-mind-stay-young-forever-part-two.html
Things hid and barr'd from common sense. Friday, December 6, 2013. Can the mind stay young forever? This is the second (and final) post in my short series on Michael Hauskeller’s article “ Forever Young? Life Extension and the Ageing Mind. 8221; In the article, Hauskeller casts a critical eye over the life extensionist project. According to many leading proponents of life extension, the goal is not just to prolong life indefinitely, but to prolong youth. Maybe we just need to revise the extensionist goal?

Avert Your Eye: August 2010
http://avertyoureye.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 20, 2010. One swirling, starry night in Bethlehem,. Plucking out an eye, rather than an ear,. Could have been a prophet, priest, or poet;. But, enraptured by patterns and pictures. Of airy canvass, instead seek palettes. In pastel-plastered hands of the divine,. Molded in reflection by the longing. Stirrings of compassion and resentment;. I march underneath the Arc de Triomphe. Of the mind: submerged somewhere deep in time. Lies the glimpse of passion in my paintbrush,. I like to be in Ame...
Avert Your Eye: The Paradox of Theistic Morality
http://avertyoureye.blogspot.com/2009/11/paradox-of-theistic-morality.html
Wednesday, November 18, 2009. The Paradox of Theistic Morality. Hello again, dear readers! I apologize for the extended layoff, but I have been terribly busy lately. Today's topic concerns the relationship between religious values and morality. Q: It's incomprehensible to me how an atheist could have an explanation for morality. A: I think it's highly unlikely that God's morality is absolute. Doesn't the god of the Bible say that it's wrong to murder, yet even in books such as-. A: You're asking me why w...

Lazy Relativism
http://www.readmorewritemorethinkmorebemore.com/2009/11/lazy-relativism.html
Saturday, November 07, 2009. I think if you asked my students to name one single value that I hold, passionately, they would say: "She HATES. Disagreements, and which runs and hides behind completely lame acquiescences like "well, what's true for you is true for you, and what's true for me is true for me. so, like, whatever, dude.". The thing that bothers me the most about this kind of attitude is that, more often than not, the people who adopt it. Believe that we're both right. If I say something li...

Pondering the palimpsest and panoply of the planet. Archive for the category “Books”. The Italian Front in WWI: Bad Tactics, Worse Leadership, and Pointless Sacrifice. The contributions of nations on other fronts are largely forgotten in this context. How many people even know which side Romania or Bulgaria fought on, or where Galicia is? The Italian Front is also largely unknown in the Anglosphere, except perhaps to note that it is the setting for Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms. Alpini, mountain soldier...
postmodern literature | Tigerpapers

Pondering the palimpsest and panoply of the planet. Archive for the tag “postmodern literature”. Two Novels by Orhan Pamuk: The White Castle and My Name is Red. When I was living in Russia, I found a book left in my apartment by a previous tenant called Snow. And his masterpiece My Name is Red.

Things hid and barr'd from common sense. Sunday, April 8, 2018. The Trouble with Instrumentalism: On the Quest for Ultimate Purpose. The Trap Door Spiders. The Trap Door Spiders met once a month for dinner. One member of the club would invite a guest and, once the meal was over, the other members of the club would ‘interrogate’ the guest. The interrogations would invariably start with the following question:. How do you justify your existence? I’m going to argue that we shouldn’t. To be m...In many cases...
