			<description><![CDATA[ One of the many churches in town has a quote on their road-side board:<br><br>&quot;God is dead. ~ Nietzsche&quot;  <br><br>of course, they make a cheesy response to it, but it still made me question ...<br><br>For Nietzsche to claim God is dead, wouldn't he have to acknowledge His existance in the first place?  <br><br>Not trying to be controversial, it's just a thought that came to me.  Is this one of those things taken completely out of context to match someone else's agenda, or did he... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ St. Thomas Aquinas was one of the first philosophers in long line who articulate a construct for religious justification for war.  It is in this line of thought, not merely religious, that Bush and the Administration are borrowing in their discussion and justification for moving unilaterally against Iraq.<br><br>The notion of the Just War has many components, including the reclaiming of resources lost in a prior war, the intervening to redress suffering, etc.  Below is an excerpt I found from... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ 1785<br><br>FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE METAPHYSIC OF MORALS<br>by Immanuel Kant<br>translated by Thomas Kingsmill Abbott<br><br>PREFACE - <br><br>Ancient Greek philosophy was divided into three sciences: physics, ethics, and logic. This division is perfectly suitable to the nature of the thing; and the only improvement that can be made in it is to add the principle on which it is based, so that we may both satisfy ourselves of its completeness, and also be able to determine correctly the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <br>I began checking out this board about month ago (I have been away from online for a long time). I read the posts in the philosophy section on Nietzsche and immediately became interested in them. I had heard about Nietzsche and other philosophers being linked to Gor before, but I really liked what I saw and the obvious impact Nietzsche had on Norman in a number of ways. Since then I started reading more of him on my own, following the lead of those posting here.<br><br>So far I've read... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ &quot;We have been taught to suspect this resouce (the erotic within a woman), vilified, abused, and devalued within western society. On the one hand, the superficially erotic has been encouraged as a sign of female inferiority; on the other hand, women have been made to suffer and to feel both contemptible and suspect by virtue of its existence.<br><br>It is a short step from there to the false belief that only by suppression of the erotic within our lives and consciousness can women be... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <br> I do have a few questions. I read some of Nietzche in college. I'm beginning to read a little further. Is there room in that philophy for tolerance of different beliefs, so long as they do not change your personal beliefs? And is there room for considered actions which may offend, but are rationally thought out?<br><br>On the overman, superman, &quot;The overman feels deeply, but his passions are rationally controlled.&quot;<br><br>The overman is a creator of values and a master... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <br><B>Of The Principle Of Utility</B><br><br><B>I</B>. Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do. On the one hand the standard of right and wrong, on the other the chain of causes and effects, are fastened to their throne. They govern us in all we do, in all we say, in all we think: every effort we can make to throw off our subjection, will serve... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> No man has earned the right to intellectual ambition until he has learned to lay his course by a star which he has never seen - to dig by the divining rod for springs which he may never reach.  In saying this, I point to that which will make your study heroic.  For I say to you in all sadness of conviction, that to think great thoughts you must be heroes as well as idealists.

			<description><![CDATA[ On the Sufferings of the World<br>by Arthur Schopenhauer<br><br>Part 1<br>Unless suffering is the direct and immediate object of life, our existence must entirely fail of its aim. It is absurd to look upon the enormous amount of pain that abounds everywhere in the world, and originates in needs and necessities inseparable from life itself, as serving no purpose at all and the result of mere chance. Each separate misfortune, as it comes, seems, no doubt, to be something exceptional; but... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Law of Nature, Natural Law<br>Pp. 254-255 in A Dictionary of Religion and Ethics edited by Shailer Mathews and Gerald Birney Smith (New York 1921)<br><br>A law states a uniformity of succession of events.

			<description><![CDATA[ Truth is a power. But one can see that only in rare instances, because it is suffering and must be defeated as long as it is truth. When it has become victorious others will join it. Why? Because it is truth? No, if it had been for that reason they would have joined it also when it was suffering. Therefore they do not join it because it *has* power. They join after it has become a power.<br><br><br>Soren Kierkegaard<br><br>    i like this quote, it holds the flavor of why so many are only now... ]]></description>

Other qualities of mind are of limited use, but precision of thought is essential to every aspect and walk of life.

Men are everywhere confronted with alternative routes--some true and others false--and reason must choose between them. Who chooses well has a sound mind, who... ]]></description>
