Arts & Humanities: Philosophy: “Question: What is the definition of a romantic evening for a man?” plus 3 more


Question: What is the definition of a romantic evening for a man?

Depends on they type of man your talking about. Like for me: See a movie, go for a walk in the park at sunset, go for a drive out in the country, have dinner at a nice restaurant, then wave fun at home maybe :)

Question: I am doing questions for my Philosophy class, we are doing a survey and I need some thorough answers.?

It sounds like your teacher is simply trying to introduce you to the idea that there are many philosophical points of view on every topic.

But that is hardly the way to "do" or to understand philosophy. You already knew there were opposing and contradictory views. "How did life begin?" isn't even philosophy; it's biology, but it points out an interesting fact: philosophy must answer with factual, scientific answers when they are available. It is when they are not available that "meta" physics is used to answer questions that science has not yet answered.

Q#2 involves metaphysics (beliefs); epistemology (knowledge that you base your beliefs on), and the ethics of believing what you believe.
#5 is one of the most argued and contested in the entire history of philosophy, so no answer you give will be right or wrong, but eventually your class ought to teach you the various philosophical viewpoints.

Good luck. Philosophy can be fun, if you let it be.

Question: Can non-human animals enjoy music?

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 05:13 AM PDT

There has never been a blind study that has successfully proved that animals respond directly to music (Other than those with noises that mimic distress, prey, or mating calls). Most people interpret their pet's response to them (while listening to music) as a direct response to music. Not so. They are responding directly to their human companions.

If animals did, predators would use music to their advantage to capture prey, just as human (economic) predators do by playing music in commercials and malls. You don't see that in the animal world.

Question: When will be the end of the world?

Which World to Be Destroyed?
Many religions say that the earth will be destroyed. But the Bible does not teach that
It was Jesus' disciples who asked him a direct question about the end of the world. This is recorded at Matthew 24:3, according to the King James, or Authorized, Version of the Bible: "Tell us, . . . what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
So rather than forecasting a nuclear holocaust or similar disintegration of the material universe, including planet Earth, the Bible teaches us that it is the wicked system of things on earth that will be brought to a sudden end. This includes all forms of corruption, falsehood, and hypocrisy now existing, whether it is political, commercial, or religious. All degradation and immorality, all wickedness, and all godless humans existing on earth at that time will be forcibly removed.
God does not have to destroy the earth in order to eliminate the frightful conditions that are so prevalent on it. The earth is not causing the problems in human society today. People are responsible, especially people who have little or no regard for the Creator, Jehovah God, and his laws. They are the ones who are turning life on this earth into a nightmare for so many. But God does not have to destroy the earth to rid it of such ones.
Getting Rid of Offenders
For example, if you found your home infested with mice, how would you get rid of them? Would you burn down your house? No! Instead, you would likely find some other means such as traps; or perhaps you would get a cat. You would not destroy the house.
Jesus also likened "the end of the world" to what happened at the time of the global Flood in Noah's day. (Matthew 24:37-39) At that time it was not the earth itself that was destroyed. Rather, it was ungodly humans. Because of the shocking behavior of the people living back then, God said: "I am going to wipe men whom I have created off the surface of the ground." (Genesis 6:7) Likewise, the apostle Peter spoke of the ancient "world of ungodly people" that was destroyed back in Noah's time. It was not planet Earth that perished.—2 Peter 2:5.
Who, though, will be the survivors? What must they do to survive? How can they tell when "the end of the world" is near?
