Peter Hacker, David Chalmers, Susana Martinez-Conde German Lourenço Mejia 2020-12-13 | We're talking about experience. People were referred to it in CV terms. You know, what's your experience? Tell us a bit about your experience. It can just refer to the things you've done. Uh, but we're going to be looking at it in a slightly more, I guess, philosophical way, you know, experiment, the nature of experience, what did it, what it is to experience things. How are we are in the world, uh, how we process experience, whether it remains mysterious or not. Whether we can subject all of experience too, scientific or philosophical methods or indeed, whether there'll be aspects of experience which will always allude our capacity to, to grasp it.

With the exception of the first five which are hardly appropriate in any context and become quite misleading when taken in their usual senses, such descriptions no doubt correspond to some aspect of Madhyamaka thought."-- David Seyfort Ruegg, The literature of the Madhyamaka school of philosophy in India, Page 2------------The Mulamadhyamaka karika 24:10 says:Without relying on conventions, the sublime meaning cannot be taught.

Problema do Mal (The Riddle of Epicurus) German Lourenço Mejia 2010-06-01 | *Problema do Mal (Epicuro)*Deus anseia em acabar com o sofrimento mas não é capaz?Então não é onipotente.É capaz mas não o quer fazer?Então é malévolo.É capaz e quer fazê-lo?Então de onde surge o sofrimento?Não é capaz nem quer fazê-lo?Por que chamar-lhe Deus?*The Riddle of Epicurus*Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?------------Isaías 45:5-7Eu sou Jeová; não há outro Deus. Dar-te-ei força e encaminhar-te-ei para a vitória ainda mesmo que não me conheças. Todo o mundo, de oriente ao ocidente, verificará que não há outro Deus. Eu sou Jeová, e não há outro Senhor para além de mim. Só eu sou Deus. Faço a luz e faço as trevas. Sou eu quem tem domínio sobre os bons como sobre os maus tempos. Eu, Jeová, sou quem faz estas coisas.Isaiah 45:5-7 I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting men may know there is none besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no other. I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.-----------"Deus é o responsável por todas as coisas e ações." -- Sri Ramakrishna "God is the Doer of all things." -- Sri Ramakrishna----------"Por favor, entenda que 'o melhor' não é 'o supremo'. Se você fala sobre Deus como o bem supremo, budistas não poderão concordar com você. Ao dizer que Deus é 'a coleção das coisas boas e perfeitas' ou 'a perfeição do que é bom' você está limitando Deus, a mais importante e grandiosa coisa do universo, a condições dualísticas. Budistas não podem aceitar isso." -- Buddhadasa"Please understand that 'the best' is not the highest thing. If you talk about God as the supreme good, Buddhists won't be able to accept your words. To say that God, the highest thing in the universe, is the collection of everything good or the perfection of good is to limit God, The Supreme Thing, within dualistic conditions. Buddhists cannot accept this." --Buddhadasa------------"É um ato ímpio dizer algo sobre Deus que é falso ou impreciso. Em outras palavras, é uma blasfêmia mal interpretar sua natureza divina [por exemplo, dizer "Deus é amor" ou qualquer outra frase que torne Deus finito]. Fundamentalistas são os que mais cometem esse erro, eles vivem dizendo que uma coisa é a vontade de Deus e que seu oposto; não. Eles não deveriam dizer isso, pois Deus é infinito -- com certeza, por definição, Deus é sem limite algum. Você não pode dizer que a vontade de Deus é uma coisa e não outra. Pois isso seria blasfemar. "-- Dan Rowden"Anything that is said about God which is false or inaccurate is blasphemous. In other words, anything which misrepresents the Divine Nature; that is to say, any statement which finitizes God [ -- such as "God is Love"]. The fundamentalists are particularly at fault in this matter, because they have a tendency to try and tell you what is and isn't the will of God. But if God is infinite - and God most certainly is infinite, by definition - then you cannot say that. You cannot say that one thing is the will of God and not another. It's just absolute blasphemy." -- Dan Rowden----------Amós 3:3-6Acaso andarão dois juntos, se não estiverem de acordo? Bramirá o leão no bosque, sem que tenha presa? Fará ouvir a sua voz o leão novo no seu covil, se nada tiver apanhado? Cairá a ave no laço em terra, se não houver armadilha para ela? levantar-se-á da terra o laço, sem que tenha apanhado alguma coisa? Tocar-se-á a trombeta na cidade, e o povo não estremecerá? Sucederá qualquer mal à cidade, sem que o Senhor o tenha feito? Amos 3:3-6Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so? Does a lion roar in the thicket when he has no prey? Does he growl in his den when he has caught nothing? Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground where no snare has been set? Does a trap spring up from the earth when there is nothing to catch? When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?----------Lamentações 3:38Porventura da boca do Altíssimo não sai tanto o mal como o bem?Lamentations 3:38Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?
Old and Young Women (Nietzsches Zarathustra) German Lourenço Mejia 2010-05-07 | Excerpt from Michael Scott interpretation "Thus spoke Zarathustra".Free professional-quality downloadable audio book from ThoughtAudio.comhttp://www.thoughtaudio.com/titlelist/TA0018-Zarathustra/index.html Thus spake Zarathustra, A book for all and none, by Friedrich Nietzsche, translated by Thomas CommonCourtesy of the University of Adelaide Library Electronic Texts Collectionhttp://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/n/nietzsche/friedrich/n67a/==============================Thus, the philosopher abhors marriage as well as what might persuade him into it—marriage is a barrier and a disaster along his route to the optimal. What great philosopher up to now has been married? Heraclitus, Plato, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Kant, Schopenhauer—none of these got married. What's more, we cannot even imagine them married. A married philosopher belongs in a comedy, that's my principle. And Socrates, that exception, the malicious Socrates, it appears, ironically got married specifically to demonstrate this very principle. Every philosopher would speak as once Buddha spoke when someone told him of the birth of a son, "Rahula has been born to me. A shackle has been forged for me." (Rahula here means "a little demon"). To every "free spirit" there must come a reflective hour, provided that previously he has had one without thought, of the sort that once came to this same Buddha—"Life in a house," he thought to himself, "is narrow and confined, a polluted place. Freedom consists of abandoning the house"; "because he thought this way, he left the house." The ascetic ideal indicates so many bridges to independence that a philosopher cannot, without an inner rejoicing and applause, listen to the history of all those decisive people who one day said "No" to all lack of freedom and went off to some desert or other, even assuming that such people were merely strong donkeys and entirely opposite to a powerful spirit. So what, then, does the ascetic ideal mean as far as a philosopher is concerned? My answer is—you will have guessed it long ago—the philosopher smiles when he sees in it an optimal set of conditions for the loftiest and boldest spirituality—in so doing, he does not deny "existence"; rather that's how he affirms his existence and only his existence and does this perhaps to such a degree that he is not far from the wicked desire pereat mundus, fiat philosophia, fiat philosophus, fiam! [let the world perish, let philosophy exist, let the philosopher exist, let me exist!] . -- Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals
