    Now, I can't make out how I come close to Kant and the existentialists, the empiricists and pragmatists... Nevertheless, I expected to be closer to Ockham...

    And we all seem to be kantians (in THIS forum?!?): Yeah, right. Clever test. :rolleyes:

    Nope. Did you know he worked with Saint Theresa at Calcuta and has adopted several rejected children? He also keeps several pet stray dogs and cats and other creatures.

    Warmest person among us, we must grant him that.

    Young man? You're far too kind RdS!

    I'm not angry about anything really. But I am very fond of Nietzsche, he's much misunderstood.

    Yes that's all well and good, but he has obviously never told you what he does with them once they are under his power...

    I'm a Stoic and an epicurean, cynic, and probably lots of the others, too....

    Young in *spirit* I meant, not matter :D And here we can begin a very interesting argument about the importance of spirit and matter and have a nice dice at a debate as we usually have. So I'll start it in the most provocative way possible: Spirit is vastly more important than matter. Matter really does not have an ontological existence outside spirit. :cool:

    Your turn!

    YEs, that's right. He forces them (everyone, actually) to listen to the complete works of Peter Brotzman in one go. This is usually enough to drive them quite insane.
    As to the question "define Spirit", well that is easy. It's
    this
    Yet another of the Big Questions solved :)
