Hence, we already have absolute chaos under our so-called rule of law. — quintillus
Law is an existing written factual theoretical construct which, because it is a given state of affairs, cannot possibly be determinative of the acts of human beings, who act solely on the basis of not yet achieved absences. — quintillus
I am referring to all law in my theoretical critique of law per se. — quintillus
Not doing something is what is known as a negative act. — quintillus
My proffer is that we first render everyone reflectively free. — quintillus
...being in possession of reflective understanding of his or her existential ontological freedom... — quintillus
Yes, again. — T Clark
...my action only originates ex nihilo, out of nothing/negation. — quintillus
I am suggesting that we begin replacement by first uplifting the honor, honesty, and dignity of our legislators, judges, prosecutors and police, via assisting them to become reflectively free, and, thus, to lead them upward unto understanding the true structure of the origination of human action; which act-origination has nothing to do with law.
I have not fully envisioned a future. I expect that other intelligences, upon becoming reflectively free, may have some dynamite thoughts regarding future sociospheric possibilities. — quintillus
I do not see law as a cause or as capable of causing persons to act or not act; although everyone else does. Everyone thinks we humans are simply things which can be in motion moved by the language of law — quintillus
Law is existentially nonsensical and unintelligible, for there is no human ontological rationality attendant upon the mistaken jurisprudential presupposition that language of law is determinative of behavior. — quintillus
law does not, cannot, precipitate any human act whatsoever; which is why all our jails are wholly overcrowded, i.e., the requiring law which the prisoners supposedly broke is not, cannot, be determinative of human action...but the convicting judge thinks the law determines him, and, that it must necessarily determine, by its stolid requirement, the other fellow too... — quintillus
Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice. — Thoreau
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
