Take the hypothetical state of being perfectly circular. If an object is always varying in it's property of circularity then it is by definition not continuing in a state of perfect circularity. There is only one perfect state with regard to being circular. Now take the human property of being in a state of perfect bliss. If a man is always varying in his state of blissfulness then he by definition cannot be in a continuing state of perfect blissfulness. There is only one state with regard to perfect blissfulness.

Why should I accept your presupposition that human states are like geometric shapes? Until you explain why, or present an alternative explanation, you've given no reason not to believe there are indeed differing states of perfect bliss.

It seems pretty intuitive to me that bliss only varies along one dimension; more, or less blissful. So it seems that the state of perfect bliss could only be a state of maximal blissfulness. So for a man to be continually perfect with regard to bliss he would have to remain in that one state of maximal bliss.

Epicureans were the NEETs of their day. What they stood for is what mainstream society stands for now so only neo-Epicureans exist today. I'm mostly going by Ciceros criticism so bear with me here. The problem is that people think, and although it's parroted by modern day "God no real" types, Epicureans were more like edgy Calvinists than atheists. Though I still don't think that God doesn't care, he has a mysterious , fucked up way of showing it.

I’m trying to learn about Platonism. I started a list of major Platonic philosophers and their works, but it feels short. Could you guys recommend any other texts to help me with this?

>Plato - complete works

>Plotinus - The Enneads

>Proclus - The Theology of Plato

>Damascius - Difficulties and Solutions of First Principles

That’s about it. There must be more. I’m also looking into Pseudo-Dionysius and John Scotus Eriugena, but I’m more interested in pre-christian platonists

What Peterson was saying in that first link is similar to that people often say one thing but do another. Which, I hope, is obvious to you. But what he was saying was a bit deeper. That often times people think they believe one thing but their actions show that they do not.

What this man has done is spend a lifetime probing into the unconscious mind looking for answers. He acknowledges that he is also as faulty as everyone else and so instead of proclaiming that he believes what he believes like all you other fools who don't understand that you have a subconscious, he instead analysis his actions to see what it is he really believes. This is why he always says that he acts as though God exists instead of saying that he believes that God exists.

You are just not smart enough to understand him.

'Conception' don't real.

You can define things, then go check if they exist in reality.

You can look at reality, and try to define what you see there.

Neither of these things are conception. The first kind of definition is fully arbitrary. The second kind is almost equally arbitrary, despite making every effort to avoid that fate.

>Even the esoteric cycle specific and exclusive to secularism? And the heroic arch type modifying alongside the cycle change?

I'm pretty sure its been articulated before. Even if it hasn't been you would still have to make a distinction between the institution of the church, and the ideal of the Church. Take your specific institution, and ask yourself "Has my church ever had a legitimate scandal, or failing?" The answer will most certainly be yes, and this is sufficient to begin identifying your cycles within the institution of that church. You could still say that these cycles tend upwards with regard to the church, and downwards with regard to the world. You could then differentiate between the two by way of the Church's archetypal heroic figure, Christ, and how conformity to Him manifests itself differently depending on where you are in the cycle.

>If my idea is not unique, but still self discovered, do I still have hope for developing it?

Sure you can develop it, but as I said, this has all been explored before and you can pick it up in the bargain dvds for like $8.99.

dude isn't thomism also st aquinas school of thought? thomism's ethics is the growth of many virtues in self perfection, a moral good could berate another human's moral good indifferently, however there is no indication that morality is ontologized in relations like later ethics, especially nietzsche's genealogy (how do we design an open-ended ethics?), or in the case of kant there is the earlier ontology which is about universalism, and then later on deontologized ethics (which purport rules rather than an universalism.)

In the objective/subjective dichotomy as a paradigm, you could objectively have meaning for yourself, objectively having a subjective meaning. Objective meaning would be counter to this, something that would be objective and beyond your self, a meaning more than just your own.

In order to find the difference of two abstracts, you must quantify them with definitions. Otherwise you can’t determine any sort of meaning. In order the provide the definitions, we have to look at the lexical structure of the english phrases.

Having objective meaning (verb, adjective, noun) Objective is describing the meaning in this context, and it is being possessed.

Objectively having meaning (adverb, verb, noun) Objectively is describing the verb having, so the subject is having meaning in an objective way.

So here’s the difference. Is the meaning itself objective? Then it is having objective meaning. Is there an objective way for something to have meaning? Then it is objectively having meaning.

Objective means universal.

We all know what univeral meanings are.

But can you universally have meaning? The fuck does that mean?

Aren't all feelings objective? What the fuck is a subjective feeling.

Regardless of how you look at it, feelings are one or the other. You can't have subjective and objective feelings at the same time.

I was seeing Postmodernist "works" and I started to wonder what the hell was going through the minds of those people. Is this is the Nihilism that Nietzsche warned us about?

I mean, all the conditions are here. We're in a world of increasingly atheistic people that still cling to somewhat Christian morals(When they're not hedonists, that is). Nihilism is relatively popular compared to old times.

Question is, does Postmodernism actually hold any nihilist beliefs in itself? I don't know much other than those hipsters making shit art, so I went through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmodernism for a minute in hopes of finding something.

Can anyone?

Lastly, does anyone have a tingling fear that Nietzsche was wrong on the "trans-valuation of values" and that there will be just more nihilism after we come past this ordeal?

>Post-modernity is time we live in currently similar to how 19th to 20th centuries are considered modernity. It is usually signified by late capitalism, globalism, rapid technological advances, convergence culture and so on.

>So saying that you "was seeing postmodernist works" means nothing as everything we do is part of the post-modern age.

>This is the Jordan Peterson school of not understanding what he is talking about.

>Post-modernism isn't a school of thought.

>A lot of the philosophers and professors that have been labeled as "post-modern philosophers" like Baudrillard, Derrida and Foucault hated the moniker because it means nothing.

>"I am a philosopher of the now times". What a pointless phrase.

You can't just reject a philosophical position because it makes you feel uncomfortable or you think of it as nihillism. You have to show that the conclusions themselves are wrong.

Karl Popper made it worse. My end goal is to oppose all those
