Гомо-сапиенс — рациональное животное озабоченное выживанием. Ему нужны здоровье и счастье. Он читает книги о том, как быстро добиться успеха и разбогатеть. Или вообще не читает. Человек — творец, он стремится стать лучше и сделать лучше окружающий мир. Ему нужны идеалы, он ищет ответы на вечные вопросы. Эта книга для людей, а точнее для подрастающего поколения. Ее автор — создатель «обьективной этики», моральной системы предлагающей наиболее правдоподобное обьяснение мира и помогающей найти упомянутые ответы. Книга повторяет структуру авторского видеоблога — она состоит из 36 бесед, которые могут послужить чтением на досуге или, предпочтительнее, быть использованы в качестве пособия по саморазвитию. Текст каждой беседы желательно внимательно прочесть, обдумать доводы за и против, а также по возможности обсудить с кем-нибудь дабы сформировать собственное обоснованное мнение....

The text is about the relation between Leonardo da Vinci and Marcel Duchamp. It seems as if the Leonardian offshoots in Duchamp's work are more common than we might have imagined. Because the similarities are not limited to the lascivious and bearded Mona Lisa, but also extend to the androgynous approach, to machine fascination, to the rendering of anatomy as a dynamic-pneumatic mechanics and even to the use of the form element The Glider. The second part is an interpretation of the ready-mades by Duchamp via the philosophy of Immanuel Kant....

Louise Victorine-Ackermann was a French poet. Her works were originally written in French, in verses and in rhymes. Reading this outstanding work is transcendental. I compare it to walking inside an empty cathedral, sitting by the seaside alone or lying on your back to gaze at the stars on a balmy summer night. I had a unique experience reading My life – First poems – Philosophical poems. I hope you will too. I invite you to enjoy to the last verse this powerful work from Louise-Victorine Ackermann. Also, please read my essay at the end, starting at page 152 – or you may read it first to better appreciate Ackermann’s work....

What, who, where, when, why, and how are probably the immediate questions to which you’d like to have answers if you’re reading this essay. If you’ve read the section entitled My life, I’m assuming you already have an idea regarding the first four questions and you’re more interested in the last two. Let me start by saying there is no simple and clear-cut answer to any of these questions. But, before I get to the above-mentioned questions, I’d like to take the opportunity to say what this essay is, meaning what kind or what form of essay is it, in addition to being philosophical in terms of content. As far as the form is concerned, it’s two-pronged. First, it’s a dialectic essay. On the several topics addressed, I present a thesis – short but to the point – and an argument. Then I attempt to object to my own argument, to which I object with a counterargument, but then I counter the counterargument with a final and new argument. This is a technique called Chinese dragon strategy. Second, the essay is critical. Like the work itself, my arguments, although protean, revolve around a recurring issue: suffering and pain. The four noble tr...

Quoi, qui, où, quand, pourquoi, et comment sont probablement les questions immédiates auxquelles vous souhaitez avoir une réponse si vous lisez cet essai. Si vous avez lu la section intitulée Ma vie, je suppose que vous avez déjà une idée concernant les quatre premières questions et que vous êtes plus intéressé par les deux dernières. Permettez-moi de commencer en disant qu'il n'y a pas de réponse simple et claire à aucune de ces questions. Mais, avant d'aborder les questions susmentionnées, j'aimerais profiter de l'occasion pour dire un mot sur qu'est cet essai, c'est-à-dire quel genre ou quelle forme d'essai s'agit-il, en plus d'être philosophique en termes de contenu. En ce qui concerne la forme, il comprend deux volets. Tout d'abord, il s'agit d'un essai dialectique. Sur les nombreux sujets abordés, je présente une thèse - bref mais au point - et un argument. Ensuite, je tente de m'opposer à mon propre argument, auquel j'oppose un contre-argument, mais je contrebalance le contre-argument avec un argument final et nouveau. C'est une technique appelée stratégie du dragon chinois. Deuxièmement, l'essai est critique. Comme le travai...

Est-ce que Ma vie, Premiers poèmes, Poèmes philosophiques est un travail philosophique? Avant d'approfondir l'analyse philosophique du travail d'Ackermann, il convient de définir ce qui rend quelque chose ou, dans notre cas, ce qui rend un travail littéraire philosophique. Mais pour détecter une orientation ou un aspect philosophique dans quelque chose, il faut tout d'abord savoir ce qu'est la philosophie. Vous et moi savons déjà ce que la philosophie implique, mais avant d'aller plus loin, récapitulons-nous un peu. Par définition, la philosophie signifie trois choses: d'abord, étymologiquement, la philosophie est l'amour de la sagesse - du grec: philo = amour, et sophia = sagesse, connaissance. Deuxièmement, elle regroupe tout ce qui traite et peut nous aider à comprendre la signification de la vie, de la connaissance, de la vérité et de la nature, etc. Troisièmement, elle regroupe tout ce qui peut être considéré comme une méthode servant à accomplir quelque chose ou une façon de vivre nos vies, c'est-à-dire un principe directeur. Que ce soit pour nous aider à acquérir la sagesse et la connaissance, comprendre des concepts importan...

R. Lauthor could have been born in America during the seventies, and as such, would be pretty old by now, though not as old as Marx. One can assume that he either pursued higher education, or commissioned someone else to write his works, like Shakespeare may or may not have done during his or her own lifetime. It's also entirely plausible that Lauthor harbors an unnatural fascination for outer space and trans-planetary travel since, after all, his first published work details over twenty pages worth of those things. Despite an all-time low rating for his organized ramblings, which he publishes under the epithet of "novels," Lauthor still writes frequently, coming up with new ideas that few people will read, and returning to the foot of that mountain to roll up, like a dung beetle, a new ball of even more reprehensible nonsense. One must imagine Sisyphus is happy. ...

Space Lord awakens in orbit around Earth. Plates of metal drift around him, unaware of the fragile man inside the skintight astrosuit whom they avoid. Through an infinite void of silence, he hears the echoes, the shrieks of the planet, the groggy final screams of a species that kept itself blindfolded. Icy sweat beads down his damp forehead. He so wishes he were back asleep. He looks up, and in a blur, feels the scraps of his cruiser’s shredded hull drifting around him. A few taps on his wrist, and a light blinks amber. SYSTEMS OFFLINE blinks at the top corner of his visor. He reaches for his comm system, but nothing responds to his signal. He swipes his fingers across the wristpad, but his wing-jets creak, and metal jerks and groans on his back. I’m dead. As he flips, the sees the drifting top half of his cruiser, sparking. Black tubes spew out coolant and fuel, which streak across the sky like an aurora. Space Lord takes deep breaths to slow his breathing. Too much anxiety, and you lose oxygen, you pass out, and that’s it. His breathing slows, and his heart rate slows, but pounds even harder than before. You can con...

The Urantia Book (sometimes called the Urantia Papers or The Fifth Epochal Revelation) is a spiritual and philosophical book that originated in Chicago sometime between 1924 and 1955. The authorship remains a matter of speculation. The authors introduce the word "Urantia" as the name of the planet Earth and state that their intent is to "present enlarged concepts and advanced truth." The book aims to unite religion, science and philosophy, and its enormous amount of material about science is unique among literature claimed to be presented by higher intelligences. Among other topics, the book discusses the origin and meaning of life, humankind's place in the universe, the purpose of evil and suffering, the relationship between God and people, and the life of Jesus. The Urantia Foundation, a U.S.-based non-profit group, first published The Urantia Book in 1955. In 2001, a jury found that the English book's copyright was no longer valid after 1983. The English text became a public domain work in the United States, and in 2006 the international copyright expired....

Nāgārjuna talks directly to Martin Heidegger. Martin, you had Parmenides and impossibility of thinking of non-Being. Supposedly, he wrote: “neither could you know what is not nor could you declare it”. Indeed, the rest of the western philosophical history is: Plato’s dialogue the Sophist and stranger’s position about non-Being and the simple discussion of the semantics of non-Being; or Hegel’s view of non-Being in the Science of Logic which is only thought in the general context of progress of the methodology of the “circles of circles”. No wonder your remarks that “nothing nothings” (Das Nichts nichtet) is often thought of as your confusions. You started off with a chair with only one leg and that was unbalanced – this is the western approach which you had to deal with metaphysically. You got stuck too....

This research is framed in the context of a specialized weapon in military aviation: an unmanned multirole fighter capable of replacing manned systems and their respective missions. This paper gives a brief history of unmanned aerial vehicles and their employment as weapons to demonstrate the evolution from ISR platform to unmanned combat air vehicle and then evolves into two main sections of “can we” and “should we” pursue this avenue of development. The primary means of answering the research question is both technical and philosophical. Before being able to answer if the Air Force should pursue an unmanned fighter, it is necessary to determine if it is technically feasible for such a system....

The Theory Of Interpretive Relativity: A Unified Map Of Literary Theory is a comprehensive study organizing and mapping all literary interpretive theory, from classical philosophy to postmodern theory, into one formulaic model. Interpretive Relativity uses, for its method of organizational strategy, the philosophy of relativism to explain how all theoretical interpretation compliment one another rather than contradict one another. This thesis uses extensive graphs and illustrations to aid in the visualization of how mapping theoretical interpretations is possible. The piece of literature, work of art, that is used through out the study is Shakespeare’s Hamlet. In other words, this thesis show how the philosophy of Einstein’s general theory of relativity could be applied to Hamlet....

Paradoxism is an avant-garde movement in literature, art, philosophy, science, based on excessive use of antitheses, antinomies, contradictions, parables, odds, paradoxes in creations. It was set up by the editor since 1980’s and promulgates a counter-time/ counter-sense creation. Paradoxism started as an anti-totalitarian protest against a closed society, Romania of 1980’s. Why was the movement based on contradictions? Because we lived in that society a double life: an official one – propagated by the political system, and another one real. In mass-media it was promulgated that “our life is wonderful”, but in reality “our life was miserable”. The paradox flourishing! And then we took the creation in derision, in opposite sense, in a syncretic way. Thus the paradoxism was born....
