Metaphysics : Why do things that repeat themselves include pleasure?
Why is addiction and pleasure seeking something that is meditated by pleasure? As in the case of eating sweets like chocolate. What is the value of pleasure, what is its significance or role within evolution of organisms?
5 AnswersPhilosophy2 weeks agoMetaphysics : Why do some things repeat themselves while others do not?
I like to think that it can be explained through physics and not completely through introspective considerations. Most things, if not all things, are bound to the laws of physics. So, in attempting to understand the answer to this question I draw upon physics. Things that repeat are naturally organizing themselves against the laws of entropy and in congruence with the laws of enthalpy. The generation of repeatable phenomena in such natural things as in the process of consumption and digestion occur in contra to entropy. They create an energetic stability of sorts, that leaves open the possibility of spontaneity and novelty building. What is your answer to why this works in the Kosmos?

2 AnswersPhilosophy3 years agoHow is the truth of the philosopher different from the truth of scientist?
Philosophy uses speculation to reach conclusions about the natural world life's place in it, while sciences use experimentation and observation to reach conclusions and form branches of knowledge. Is truth different for a philosopher than it is for science? Conceiving that science was once philosophy is there a schism between the two? When did this happen?

17 AnswersReligion & Spirituality3 years agoWhat does it mean to "surrender to Christ?"?
I think there is the universe and every living thing in it, but I don't observe the existence of a savior. Certainly, not one that can be discovered from the primacies to the higher sentience of cosmic life -- the basic principles.
What is a savior? Why should we desire one? How does an all powerful being that was murdered some how stop me from being a "damned soul" (whatever that means)?
If life exists on other planets, do they need a redeemer too, or do they live and die like all the other animals?
