Philosophy Now Forum

Greetings Philosophes!

New member here, from California.

I follow Aristotle, Descartes, Aquinas, Leibniz, Immanuel Kant, and to a certain extent the modern Empiricists.

I believe I exist, that you and others exist, that everything around us in the Universe exists at least out to 1 million light years away.

Beyond 1 million light years we really cannot tell if anything out there exists because a lot can change in 1 million years while the light from those stars and galaxies was on its way to us.

I believe in the First Cause, the Prime Mover, the Purposeful Designer, and the Artistic Artificer proofs. Although paradoxical these are a-priori. This comprises my own metaphysics.

I trust my own epistemology to the extent that I have researched things for myself.

My teleology consists of the progress of humanity in this world and the progress of mind/essence/soul in the world to come.

I am subject to professional ethics in my work and I have extended these ethics to all things that I do. I believe in ethics for the same reason as Immanuel Kant does.

My favorite Bible story is that of The Good Samaritan whom I try to emulate.

That's quite a good summary, the only thing you've not alluded to is your pretentiousness, which is certainly significant enough to warrant mentioning.

At least he didn't just say 'hi', and disappear. Although, perhaps that's not such a bad thing for the average new member to do.

I recognize your beautiful (so to speak) face from the other Philosophy forum.

If you think my face is beautiful just wait till you get used to my mind.

... "so to speak" ... means jokingly.

'Ironically' perhaps?
