philosophical party mean
Being a philosophical naturalist does not mean that one thinks that science can provide all of the answers. That is scientism and that is wrong.

Being a philosophical naturalist does not mean that one thinks that the only truths are those of science.

Michael Ruse

philosophical believe america
If we look at it more from a philosophical standpoint, these foundations of atheism and secular humanism believe that you are your own God.

The social gospel, that could creep into something that is called Liberation Theology, which is a mixture of leftist, pseudo-Christianity with Marxism. Ted Cruz
philosophical character play
The philosophical underpinnings of my approach to acting are that there are universal human qualities, and that every character is actually available within each one of us, that if we tap down into that universal humanness, we can find whatever character it is that we need to play already there within ourselves, and it's just a matter of peeling apart the onion that is you and finding that character within you, because of this universal human quality. Misha Collins
philosophical humor writing
Some major writers have a huge impact, like Ayn Rand, who to my mind is a lousy fiction writer because her writing has no compassion and virtually no humor. She has a philosophical and economical message that she is passing off as fiction, but it really isn't fiction at all. Theodore Sturgeon
philosophical interesting trials
For me, Stalinism was even a greater philosophical problem than Nazism. Under Nazism, if you were a Jew, you were simply killed, no questions asked, you had nothing to prove.

There is one interesting feature: that they were tortured or through some kind of blackmail forced to confess to being traitors. Slavoj Zizek

philosophical views civilization
...What is at stake is civilization and humanity, nothing less. The idea that everything is permitted, as Nietzsche put it, rests on the premise of nihilism and has nihilistic implications. I will not pretend that the case against nihilism and for civilization is an easy one to make. We are here confronting the most fundamental of philosophical questions, on the deepest levels. In short, the matter of pornography and obscenity is not a trivial one, and only superficial minds can take a bland and untroubled view of it. Irving Kristol
