| Question: Would you agree with this statement? Posted: 08 Nov 2015 07:49 AM PST Of course; related: "For Couples Only," "Love and Sexuality" by Aivanhov, and "Finding a Higher Love." In parental love, also, nurturing and championing the childlike or inner child of goodness, kindness, honesty, bravery, and the like, is for that goal: allowing an increase of holy family values along the generations.

| Question: Does anybody here understand philosophy? Posted: 08 Nov 2015 07:03 AM PST In Plotinus, the Self is realized in "One Mind Soul"-individuation, particularly via realizing and understanding Ideas. Related: "Return to the One: Plotinus's Guide to God-Realization." A quote from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" (Act 3, Scene 1) expresses this: "God hath given you one face, and you make yourselves another." "Original Buddha Mind" is a similar awareness, as is Man in God's image and likeness, before the fall, C. S. Lewis' "Till We Have Faces," the Confucian notion of "saving face," Self-realization taught in Yogananda's "Autobiography of a Yogi" and Mark Prophet's "The Path of the Higher Self." Gautama Buddha stated in the earliest Theravadic scriptures that he taught "anchored in Atman"; Atman is the individuated Self within Brahman, the One without a second. T. S. Eliot in "Little Giddings" gives this: "We shall not cease from exploration/And the end of all our exploring/Will be to arrive where we started/And know the place for the first time....And all shall be well and/All manner of thing shall be well/When the tongues of flame are in-folded/Into the crowned knot of fire/And the fire and the rose are one." In contradistinction, Jean-Paul Sartre's notion of "existence precedes essence" propounds a position of "no Self" (which is illogical, as claiming to know/have proven a universal negative is not possible)....However, that is the level to which Jean-Paul attained, however dogmatically. |
| Question: What is the basic difference between philosophical ethics and moral theology? Posted: 08 Nov 2015 02:13 AM PST All Hat's answer makes a good distinction about 'moral theology' which means it isn't immoral theology. But what is the difference between ethics and the ethics found in theology? Only that theology attributes the creation of morals to a god for the purpose of self-rule by men using god's rules. In philosophy divorced from theology the morals are 'natural', in other words a part of being human, not a part of being a creature of god. |
| Posted: 08 Nov 2015 01:15 AM PST What would be the term ? I know a few philosophers who had a position along those lines , but I don't know what it is called. Update: like what would you call a position like 'god is dead' ? Update 2: I mean a term Update 3: i didn't mean god is dead like how nietzsche wrote , nietzsche said "god is dead and we killed him" and that basically can mean there was no god to begin with and we made him up. I am asking what the term is for someone who assumes there was a god in the beginning and that this god is now long gone. Follow 6 answers 6
