40 Belief-Shaking Remarks From a Ruthless Nonconformist If there’s one thing Friedrich Nietzsche did well, it’s obliterate feel-good beliefs people have about themselves. He has been criticized for being a misanthrope, a subvert, a cynic and a pessimist, but I think these assessments are off the mark. I believe he only wanted human beings to be more honest with themselves. He did have a remarkable gift for aphorism — he once declared, “It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.” A hundred years after his death, Nietzsche retains his disturbing talent for turning a person’s worldview upside-down with one jarring remark. Even today his words remain controversial. Here are 40 unsympathetic statements from the man himself. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40.

Henri Laborit et la non-violence - Anarchisme et non-violence 2 Henri Laborit n’est pas seulement célèbre par ses découvertes [1]. C’était aussi un esprit synthétique, un grand vulgarisateur, un homme chaleureux, qui ignorait la langue de bois. Je l’ai d’abord connu par ses ouvrages. Je ne suis entré en contact personnel avec lui qu’après avoir rédigé un texte qui lui devait beaucoup et où je proposais d’éduquer les enfants à deux valeurs seulement, l’objectivité scientifique et la non-violence collective. Henri Laborit (lettre du 10 sept. 1991) s’est déclaré d’emblée en « communion d’idées » avec moi sur ce projet. Mon texte mettait pourtant les points sur les i. Laborit ne s’est pas étonné d’apprendre que mon projet d’éducation n’avait pas convaincu les « réalistes » auxquels je l’ai présenté : les Verts (la non violence ? Nouveaux sans être libres Souvent, ceux qui luttent pour les libertés croient à la liberté. Sans liberté, pas question de « transcender notre nature », et la violence humaine peut s’expliquer sans a priori métaphysiques.
Some Moral Dilemmas The Trolley Problem, not in Grassian. Suggested by Philippa Foot (1920-2010), daughter of Esther, the daughter of President Grover Cleveland, but of British birth because of her father, William Sidney Bence Bosanquet. A trolley is running out of control down a track. This is a classic "right vs. good" dilemma. The Costly Underwater Tunnel Compare: 112 men were killed during the construction of Hoover Dam on the Nevada-Arizona border (the "official" number was 98, but others had died from causes more difficult to identify -- or easier to ignore -- like by carbon monoxide poisoning): The first to die was a surveyor, J.G. with a return to a completely unfamiliar Earth, against what seems to be genuine love for Preston, with a life in what actually are rather comfortable circumstances in the spaceship.

Philosophy Index Idee e teorie filosofiche più rilevanti dell'ultimo secolo Values Explanations > Values About values | Historical values | Research on values | So what? Values is a confusing word that often gets confused with 'value' as in the value you get from buying a cheap, but well-built house. Values are, in fact powerful drivers of how we think and behave. About values Value categories: different spheres into which we place values. Historical values American Values: A list of traditional US cultural values. Research on values Career Anchors: identified by Edgar Schein as shapers of what we do. Values are also often a significant element of culture, where they form a part of the shared ruleset of a group. When I break my values, I will feel shame and guilt. Know the the values to which the other person will subscribe (these are often common sense) as well as the actual values they enact in practice (watch them for this). Beware of the values in practice which can be harmful to you (will they betray you?). See also Social Norms, Guilt, Repulsion, Pride, Shame
The philosophy of The Matrix In The Matrix (Andy and Larry Wachowski, 1999) Keanu Reeves plays a computer programmer who leads a double life as a hacker called “Neo”. After receiving cryptic messages on his computer monitor, Neo begins to search for the elusive Morpheus (Laurence Fishburn), the leader of a clandestine resistance group, who he believes is responsible for the messages. Eventually, Neo finds Morpheus, and is then told that reality is actually very different from what he, and most other people, perceives it to be. Morpheus tells Neo that human existence is merely a facade. In reality, humans are being ‘farmed’ as a source of energy by a race of sentient, malevolent machines. The Matrix is based on a philosophical question posed by the 17th Century French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes. Everything I have accepted up to now as being absolutely true and assured, I have learned from or through the senses. Descartes’s argument is an epistemological one. Like this: Like Loading...

LA VÉRITÉ ET LA CROYANCE par J. Llapasset Site Philagora, tous droits réservés © On oppose souvent vérité et croyance dans la mesure où la vérité exige la clarté, la cohérence, un caractère d'objectivité: elle est partagée par tous grâce à des démonstrations et à des preuves. Idée = En effet, la vérité est une idée, un horizon, un idéal qu'on poursuit en faisant des enquêtes pour produire des affirmations de mieux en mieux justifiées. Correspondance = La définition de la vérité comme l'accord entre un discours et la réalité est une définition parfaite pour des êtres parfaits. Cohérence = L'admiration pour la rigueur des enchaînements dans un discours, des déductions en géométrie , a été très grande. Obstacles = Bien souvent les croyances sont des obstacles à la recherche de la vérité. en effet: celui qui croit savoir pourquoi voulez-vous qu'il cherche? Opinion. Conclusion Bien distinguer la croyance vécue comme une passion de la croyance "action" reconnue par un examen critique. Retour à Raison et expérience
