Plato's Beard (16-2)

We took Test #2 today (outside, thank goodness) and then followed it up with a short lecture about Kant and Bentham. In our discussion time we sort of began to talk about PC and the greater good, etc.

What are your opinions on those two guys? What are you doing for Halloween? I'm probably going to watch Hocus Pocus for the 46th time by then.

FQ) Which philosopher's daily routine was so rigid and undeviating that people set their watches by him? (Kant)

DQ) Was Immanuel Kant a real pissant who was very rarely stable?

DYK: The correct pronunciation of Kant is actually 'kunt'. Let's be mature about it.

  3. I think that the world, indeed, is as we see it and is a proper representation of reality. You avoid walking into building by seeing them, avoid getting closer to the skunk by using your smell, and walk away from a speaker if it gets too loud for your ear drums.

    FQ: For Schopenhauer, the reality exists in what two aspects? ( Will and Representation)
    DQ: Do you agree with Schopenhauer when he said that killing or harming someone is equivalent to self-injury?

      Yes, by harming another you could be damaging yourself in a number of ways. To name a few you could be putting yourself/family in harms way, you could damage your reputation, you could damage your sanity.
