Vehement disagreement here. The question is the start of philosophy, discussion its foundry, answers its product. Period. You may then question the quality of it all, but not that it is, and happens, and is and happens here.I anyway, I doubt that any philosophical thinking will be built out of this forum. — Gus Lamarch

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.
