Idealism’s Resolution of Abortion The following is copied from my book. Abortion is an existential issue for foetuses but abortion is not existential for the mother. Most critically, mother and foetus are not a dichotomy. Were they a dichotomy, abortion would be opposed to nature and abortion would...

Addendum to Part Four. The following are loose ends from the previous essay. I will make my point about race and metaphysics joining at a level beyond empiricism in a non-ethical manner. I add a criticism of anti-racism that an astute sceptic should be capable of, and then finish with comments on l...

The Termination of Anti-Racism Idealism has to destroy ethics to establish its command of reality. Part One recognised ethics inadvertent contribution to Idealist insight. Part Two supported Part One with a teleology. Part Three overviewed the various moments in my systematising when Truth denies e...

Ending Ethics Case by Case Ethics does not possess an axiom, core precept, actuality, a priori or perfect form that can be interrogated – it is a free but nasty spirit. The previous Teleology essay recognised ethics functions with great versatility and its perfidy has helped elicit metaphysical Tru...

This essay is an abridgment of my teleology. It makes G. W. F. Hegel’s dialectical movement applicable to specific moments in Western history and delineates what is climactic in this progression. As the second essay on the destruction of ethics, it accompanies Part One with examples of ethical relat...

This is Part One of a five Part study of ethics that outlines the destruction of ethics. In this instalment, the point of interest is ethical relativity. The Great Hoax The great hoax is of course ethics. Without an a priori and without epistemic value, many cultures invent this lie to regulate beha...

Problems with objective truth To go straight to the point, the key question for philosophy’s evolution is, “Can dialectic detect its relativity?” – No. It takes logic and Truth to demonstrate truth is relative. The relativity of truth is suspected these days, but truth trying to find consummate tru...

Hi Ken. I am posting at "Finally, absolute Idealism delivers absolute Truth". I am trying to post every 3 days. Thanks for your interest.

Hobbes’ you ask a good question but we don’t need the swearing. I swear when I need to and you don’t need to. It is totally inappropriate and it will give me pleasure to show you are a clown. I have read your contempt for Hegel elsewhere, so you have a lesson to learn. Mysticism is relative. A mysti...

Hi Guys. I’m just down the metaphysical street from you and I see you are stalled. I did not want to intrude on your fun, indeed, since I’m doing Idealism next door I feel ‘baited’ by your topic. This is a very important topic but it needs an Idealist perspective to get it to make sense. Your ambiti...

Two More features of Non-Duality Every would-be philosopher wants to do philosophy in a new way. For absolute Idealism the imperative is to restart philosophy with real logic. Two features stemming from logic are: the unassailable nature of existential dichotomies and the command of reality gained ...

More Departures from Convention A new logic denotes new attributes for Truth. The Void Absolute Truth is and is-not. Parts to a whole share their existence with non-existence [there is a void]. In absolute terms, the opposite of something is not nothingness. An absolute proposition cannot afford an...

What Matters? When minds concentrate on what philosophy is about, there is no escaping this edict: Philosophy is the captive of logic. Logic is the Way of the logos and it should impart absolute Truth. The Absolute is what matters. Dialectic is not logic, so philosophy has been lead all over the pl...

Yes, thanks Terrapin. I see from other posts, elsewhere, that you are sharp minded, so I think we can have a conversation. I see now that you want to make this topic interactive. I am aware from the start of this non-interaction problem. I'm perfectly happy to be challenged while firmly believing I ...

Scholars The following is about mis-representation of Idealism by scholars and what prepares a definitive Idealist. Encyclopaedic entries for Idealism brings out heroic scholarship that produces no light. Academics attempting to explain Idealism do a disservice by being their conformist selves. The...
