As such whatever he said in reply to me I just bantered with and in no way meant anything more than what was said at face value.

well then perhaps you should have just stopped there?

THAT was why I presupposed that we could never have communication. Because you feel that definitions matter little as do origins of words. As such anything I say will be worthless. |
hold on sparky, Im all for the definition..as I posted it, from a third party whose business it is to define and/or publish established definitions. did you want to debate their offering of the definition of philosophy?
the origin of the sound we make with our mouth to communicate the meaning, indeed matters little.

My "rigid" definition of western philisophical thought seems to match the overwhelming majority of historians and modern day philosophers who share the same ideal that I do
|
historians? surely as someone seemingly educated you see the folly in riding the coat tails of historians to the extent of discarding logic to fall in line with them?
and that is another reason we are not compatible enough to have this conversation and hope for anything constructive.

I will ignore that entire thought because it seems as if you just kind of threw that together in an instant for some sort of self-gratifying moment in the sun.

nes opinion is valid unless you question your own opinion. In order to feel as if yours was not valid due to another saying it is not is a cop out.

It was a futile effort on my part, to give a little so that I could teach what I had to teach and learn what I had to learn and maybe have a few laughs along the way...my bad eh?

have yet to care about your past or EVEN use it against you in any way and question why you even used that in a reply to me.

but and because you made an entire new post to jack off about it with frog? um...duh?

The modern institution of western philosophical thought originates directly from Greece.

rimary basis of OUR discussion. Would you care to continue that discussion or would you care to continue your petty insults?
|
odd, i dont see that in the initial post...
or do you mean your and my discussion?
the subjectivity of your and my views branch off because youre into historians and what they tell you, Im a little more hands on and going straight from the definition of the word philosophy and what Ive read and studied on my own while having the great privilege of observing and being surrounded by less "modern" cultures heavy in old tradition. we are two different animals on this topic it would seem.
