Is elevation of discourse out of the question?

Post by lkwalker » Wed Apr 06, 2011 7:01 pm

I know the humans love to poke and bicker. But is it a dodge? A pastime? A release from boredom? Many serious issues have raised here... mostly in the Philosophy threads. Do yo want to learn or simply banter? The choice is yours...

Is this thread pointed at anyone in particular?

I love to learn :D

With a little banter on the side to make things more interesting.

Not at all. Just a general observation.

Please lead the way, by example; I think may will follow or aid the effort.

Good. Just wondering. I love philosophy, just not packaged as belonging to another person.

Philosophy isn't a matter of idee fixé, it is process.

Do philosophers have to use French phrases? Is it some kind of law? These things can't be said in English?

I don't understand a word French, you know, hahahaha!
