Well, this is similar to the debate between rationalism and empiricism, but it does not deal with the representation theory of ideas, which is what the main argument was about back in the enlightenment. And yes, I do think that 'postmodern' ideas can be read back unto the past, but 'moderns' wouldn'...

I have to agree with Jayelle about the description. Though, there are many strains and digressions. But I will add onto it: Postmodernism also deals a lot with the ideas of relativism (moral, cultural, etc ((which was addressed))) and subjective truth, which is probably the most interesting slice of...

Postmodernity
So...what do you all think about postmodernity/postmodernism? Better yet, what do you think are the theological implications of this shift in culture and thought-process? As a young student at a 'Christian' institution, I have encountered a lot of flack for agreeing with some of the positions of pos...

It really depends on your idea of Ethics. For example, in the Kantian tradition (Immanuel Kant, German philosopher, transcendental turn), there are certain imperatives. The ones that must always be followed are negative, for example: Do not lie. But he never insists: You must always tell the truth. ...

The Forgiver
Not only can you not forget God, but you cannot forget the person who was wronged. The power of forgiveness does not just rest in the deed done, in someone being forgiven and knowing that, but also in the ability to shape the forgiver into a more compassionate, kind, and more human person. There are...

I am reading it right now, and am fascinated by both his arguments and logical development. The trilemma situation is extremely...confounding? I don't know if that is the right word. But yes. I am enjoying it. EDIT for further comment: I think that Christianity as a religion can be dangerous (all &q...

Screenplay.
Why can't we just write our own pweb screenplay? And then let OSC and movie producers read it? It could turn out pretty good...but it may have too many subplots.

This kind of seems like Oedipus' problem. He was destined to do the things he did, but he himself carried out his destined, and by his own actions 'fulfilled' prophecy. I find it fascinating that the same questions are debated throughout human history. I wish we could get Sophocles point of view on ...
