Survival and Reproduction by ned in General Philosophy
A friend of mine is a hardcore behaviorist. She believes that there is no other meaning to life besides our basic evolutionary instinct to survive and reproduce and therefore our morality and society should be set up as to condition us to adapt continually for the improvement of the species. I have ...
Spiritual. by throng in Philosophy of Religion
Humans tend to be spiritual. Atheists are quite rare I think. I don't really mean belief in God particularly, nor do I even mean belief. I'm really talking about the human tendency to want to know the truth. The fact that this is here being perceived is hardly a revelation, but it is a...

"Children are the boldest philosophers. They enter life naked, not covered by the smallest fig leaf of dogma, absolutes, creeds. This is why every question they ask is so absurdly naïve and so frighteningly complex. The new men entering life today are as naked and as fearless as children; and they, too, like children, like Shopenhauer, Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche, ask "Why?" and "What next?"
