The Philosophy Discussion Forum

"I'm also an American, yet see no better or worse, only different." So, Saudi Arabia vs Sweden, neither country is better just different? Child rapist VS hero, neither one is better just different? Any moral choice is just subjective? No objective standards of quality? "Give me a brea...

"The moral of the story is to not bite off the hand that feeds you. That means to not take advaantage or exploit nature for your selfish wants and desires. That's causation, and that always has to take it's course no matter what, if you know what I mean." How ironic coming from someone who...

My name is Greg "dratsab" Huffman and I love philosophy, etc. I post all my writings on deviant art (which is in my sig). So, how are things here, etc? Just like any another forum, only that this particular is on Philosophy. Some are earnest in discussing and seeking things in Philosophy,...
