At that time - in the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th century - it was not possible to become such a huge empire without violence. And by the way: a huge empire has always been the result of violence.Islamic expansion from 622-750 - with nowadays borders overlaid.
And the following map shows the areas that came under islamic control after the 10th century:Current borders are overlaid.
If the speed of light were adjusted so that it matched closely its region, although not completely, then the experiments would indcate an observer-dependent speed of light. And by the way: that would explain the so-called stopped clock paradox as well. The light that incidents in the area of each observer is changed so that it adapts to the speed of this area. If that were true, the stopped clock paradox would not exist anymore.

Back to the topic (can someone interpret my dream?) with a dream of an adult man:
He wants to get his lovely person (girlfriend, wife, daughter) back. But another man tries to prevent that, partly with success, especially with brutal viloence, partly with no success. But more and more the man who wants his loevely person back and fights for her as much as he can thinks that he has lost her because of the violently influence by the other man and his »crew«. This dream has an open end nut not a happy end. ** **

No, I wasn't reading Faust, but rather a text on Weimar Classicism, which he contributed to. I also listened to very hard-core death metal music the same day, so, perhaps, they amalgamated in my psyche and the corollary was the brutal dream .... **

Well, that may be true. Or it could mean that the unconscious is trying to tell the person that »you haven't gotten it yet?« Look again. We usually dream in metaphors. I think that it really is helpful for the person to write down as many words which are suggested to him through association with these images. Those words might also come from the unconscious. It's very helpful to us. **

I agree, if Emo really means an Emotional hardcore punk band.More seriuosly, the time of GREAT philosophy ended at about 1800 when the NIHILISTIC philosophy started. Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi used the word Nihilismus (nihilism) already 1799 in his Sendschreiben an Fichte. So since about 1800 or e.g. with Schopenhauer's Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung (1818) there have been being either nihilistic or just eclecticistic philosophers. We really have to separate the period of pre-nihilistic philosophy from the period of nihilistic philosophy in that case.It may be up to each person to value that. The historians of philosophy, provided that they are not corrupt, speak more about facts than values.

Well, I think Nietzsche was a great life philosopher, a great scepticist, a great psychologist (and b.t.w.: the real or original founder of the psychoanalyse), a great immunologist, a great writer, a graet aphorist, a graet essayist, a great poet, a great philologist, but that's all. I don't know whether he overcame nihilism, but I know that it is nearly impossible to overcome nihilism in nihilistic times because it is impossible to eliminate the thought of nihilism in times of nihilism. (Cp.: Zeitgeist). When you think you do not want to think about nihilism, you think about nihilism. ** **

Well, yes to degree. However, dreams of falling are common, and may mean something else than merely »falling down«. Country folk have had myriad issues of reports, especially the female of the gender, who have awful dreams on account of a broken and irredeemable love affair, where, the loss of a lover may signal by appearance of a dream, the total collapse of the young woman's psyche. It used to be very common for such country folk to throw themselves down into a well, on account of a loss of this sort. Other dreams have meanings, as well, and psychoanalytic »literature« is full of them. The dreamer, usually, is in no position to interpret their own dreams, and the experts and »preachers« you mention, have been called upon by social and individual psychology's application to attempt to solve these kinds of enigmas. In many cases, a careful analysis may save a person's life. **

That was also my impression: You can not see it.Would you agree, if I said that language can damage people? You do not need medicines or drugs in order to become damaged, if you have a language. Language is as effective as or even more effective than medicines and drugs are. The effect of language is a lengthy one, is awful long. Therefore it is very suitable when it comes to influence anyone and everyone, each person and a whole society. Look into societies where is no psycho-market (for example in Amazonia or other non-urban regions) - the people of this societies have almost no problems, because they are not damaged by the psycho-market, the socio-market, and other hyper-modern markets nobody needs. This markets indicate the modern civilisation and its abnormality. Civilisations as urban societies yield such markets which market the abnormality. So again: The Occidental culture in its modern or civilised forms designs, constructs, produces patients in order to market them, because there is no other possibility anymore to control them. The main effect of that is a society of damaged people, of patients.Patients are made. Therefore some psychiatrists imitated lawyers by calling their patients clients.Orb wrote:
I mean that people who are normal become abnormal because of the psycho-market, the interests of those who become rich and powerful, because they really make patients, problematic humans ... - as I said before.

Human beings are group-living animals - just like pack animals. Since the human beings came into the world - whenever their birth was - they have been being such group-living animals (naturally) and group-living humans (culturally). So it is very difficult for them to not differentiate themselves from others, especially from other group-living animals (naturally) and group-living humans (culturally). They can not give up their attitude of we-are-not-them, we-do-not-want-to-be-like-them, we-are-against-them, we-fight-against-them and so on.

Yes. And there are some more problems which have to do with these things. For example: if such a group becomes too large, then it becomes less controllable; if such a group becomes too small, then it also becomes less controllable, because it can easily be conquered /captured by a foreign group. Now, put 1 and 1 together and think of the current Occicental culture which is too large because of its economic restraints (i.e. expansion) and too small because of its individualism, extreme egoism. So you have a too large group with too much too small subgroups as one phenomenon. This group can very easily be conquered /captured by a foreign group.Cultures, empires, nations and other large societies are too large; but if there are already different cultures, empires, nations and other large societies, then they also have already changed their strategy in order to defend themselves. Ideally a human group should consist of not more than about 100 members, but the history of the last 6000 years shows which strategy more and more humans chose in order to defend their groups: some groups became large (too large!), many groups remained small (in an oriiginally ideal sense which became a disadvantage), and many of this many groups got cconquered / captured by the large groups. And each time when this large groups became civilisations with economic restraints (see above) - expansion is everything (Cecil Rhodes) -, then the small groups becamne less and less. So today we have some very large groups and some very small groups, and one of the very large (very much too large) groups is a group of individualsm, thus exists of too much very too small subgroups. That's dangerous. Another very large group which is not a group of individualism behaves like every large group which has not too much very too small subgrous, thus wants to expand and to prevent individualism. That's dangerous. too. - So the Occident has many strategic problems: enemies inside (the very too small subgroups) and outside (foreign groups), economic restraints (i.e. expansion) which strengthen those enemies, .... The West is both very too large and very too small (because of too much individualism), and that means tendentious weakness, thus "feed" for those groups which are strong, large, and intelligent enough to conquere / capture it.
The more a group grows the more strategies are needed to control this group. If a group has its enemies both outside (foreign groups) and inside (i.e. its own subgroups and parts of foreign groups) of itself, then this group is tendentially weak and destroys itself from inside (demographic facts are included - of course), so that this group's enemies just have to await their best chance.

If you have a pain and a dream and think they depend on each other, then it is probably not in that way that your dream is the cause of your pain and the repetition or recurrence of your dream and pain, but in that way that your pain causes your dream, and both are under the control of repetition or recurrence. If you try to delete repetition or recurrence, you will fail, because you can not delete them as such, but you can i.e. change negative repetitions or recurrences into positive repetitions or recurrences by changing your actions and thoughts. Try to change your actions and thoughts, so that your dream contents can also change. In that case, a tiny part of your development changes, what means that the repetitions or recurrences also change.

As I was walking in all the ice left over by yesterday's storm, I found myself thinking about Nietzsche's skepticism about truth. He found even skepticism too stable that it could serve as a truth. Nietzsche denied any stability and he compared the situation to dancing. I thought it is more like walking on ice. Truth gives our steps, our life, sure footing and stability. We prefer walking on stable ground. After the world and it's appearance are abolished, the ground turns to ice. Every step is then tentative and balance a challenge. We walk because we live and even when we manage to glide, or even dance on ice, the ice remains a danger that can put anyone on his ass. **

One of the fundamental element that Kant revealed in his system of Moral and Ethics is the following System with control feedback.
You insist no actual humans thinks and act this way?
In reality all humans has such a natural system within them and such a control feedback system is intellectualized and applied in every aspect of life mentally and technologically.B.t.w. most people think Kants Moral System is deontological, but it is not. In the applied aspect of his system, i.e. ethics, it can accommodate any existing ethical system, i.e. utilitarianism, consequentialism, etc..
Kant's approach is the same as those of theoretical scientists who focused more on theories rather than applied science. Note Newton and Einstein who focused on theories and left it to other scientists and technicians to verify their theories, and technologists to translate the theories into practices for the progress of humanity. **
But supposing you're right about that development, why is it good? I asked you if it was good because it facilitates humanity's survival (which it does according to you), and you answered: Yes, its survival and progress. I then asked you what you meant by "progress", and as I suspected, you meant that very development! To see the circularity thereof even more clearly, forget about survival for a moment. You are then saying that that development is good because it facilitates that same development. This is not an answer; it's like saying slavery is wrong because it is slavery. So I ask again: is the only reason why the development you describe, including the content of your list, is good the fact (I will suppose that it's a fact) that it facilitates humanity's survival?

Referring to the topic of this thread - Kant vs. Nietzsche - I say that Kant belongs to the pre-nihilistic period and in his latest stage also to the nihilistic period whereas Nietzsche belongs merely to the nihilistic period.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche:
1) What did he say about the philosophy of technique / technology / engineering?
- Nothing at all.
2) What did he say about the philosophy of physics / kosmology / astronomy?
- Nearly nothing.
3) What did he say about the philosophy of economy / economics?
- Nearly nothing.
4) What did he say about the philosophy of sociology?
- Not much (his statements about the fact that he was really terrified of socialism have not much to do with sociology).
5) What did he say about the philosophy of law / right?
- Not much (his statements about ethics and moral have not much to do with law / right - but much with his concept "will to power").
6) What did he say about epistemology?
- Not much.

For me the »love« can be a kind of joy [sometimes despair] in the mind, it feels warm and it rewards us when we resolve something. Not thinking like a philosopher is a dullness in the mind [to me anyhow] just like not being in love with a person is.
Probably just that we are an instrument with those kinds of responses and rewards. Then however we express that gives us said rewards and responses, possibly the same thing in religion when people love god, or in children when they love a teddy bear. **
The fact is there is the effect of the uncertainty which undermined not only a complete and lasting resolution, but that of love of God, ergo Man, and Love of anything is seen nowedays as a very precarious and recurrent phenomena having little stability or even meaning. **

»History shows the greatness of philosophers.
The current world institutions like UNO, WTO, World Bank, and many other global institutions have their origin in Kant's philosophy. Compare for example Kant's Ewigen Frieden (1795) - Perpetual Peace (1795). How to value it ist one point, but the historical fact of the influence is another point. Another example: Platon was probably the greatest Ancient philosopher, but would you live according to his philosophy, especially his ideas, today, just because he was probably the greatest Ancient philosopher? To value philosophies are meaningful in another sense but not in the sense of greatness.« ** **
It is the future that will unfolds Kant's greatness.
Kant's philosophy is too far ahead of his and our time.
I agree UN, WTO, World Bank [crude but OK] are the slow unfolding of Kant's philosophy towards the future.The human brain has appx. 100 billion neurons each with up to 10,000 connectors [synapse]. Just imagine the possible number of serial combinations and permutations from them. It is also possible the connectivity of the media in the brain may not be serial, thus a greater potential.
It is obvious the average human has not yet exploited the full potential of its brain power. The often speculated usage is we are only using 15% of our total brain power. It is definitely a crude guess, as it is quite impossible to know the total brain power, but we can be quite sure there is a vast potential to be tapped from our brain power. Note the exponential and expansion of knowledge since the last 100 years and its possible in the next 50, 100, 150, ...into the future years.
There will be a greater realization of Kant's critical philosophy as the mental potential of the average humanity increase from its current base and continue to increase in the future.
IMO, this where Kant's ideas will slowly merge with Nietzsche's Übermensch. **

Very huge are the differences between one Indogermanic language and i.e. one Afroasiatic language.To know i.e. the language of the Koran is very useful in order to understand the Muslims and their religion, their spiritual exercise (Peter Sloterdijk).To study Kant does not necessarily mean to invest thousands of hours, but you need more time for studying Kant, if you do not know the German language, than you need, if you know the German language. So it is a huge adavantage to know the German language when it coems to understand Kant, his country, his culture, and - last but not least - his philosophy. This does not only concern the time you need or other special aspects but also general aspects.
Another example:If a child has to go to a foreign country, then it will soon be adapted to this country - mainly because of the learned language.That is not debatable at all, my friend.Learning a language (the first one, the second one, ... and so on) has nearly always consequences, and this consequences are always positve consequences.

What's your suggestion?Perhaps A Shiledmaiden will never post again. But I don't think so. Probably she will post soon and attack you and me. Oh, lovely Mags, what will we do then? Maybe she will come to another decision and never post again, because she will have read our last posts. Oh, lovely Mags, what will we do then?What's your suggestion? |

Yes, although I know merely few religion websites. I seldom read websites, and I never joined a webforum or anything else before I joined ILP. So ILP was the first one I joined. 8. March 2014. So today is my first ILP anniversary! |
