Can't contain my excitement for this book since the first time I've heard about this project. Look at all those juicy, enticing titles, and tell me whether you can sleep once you get hold of this philosophical behemoth. September just can't come soon enough!

@StojBoj @LifeNewsHQ Let people celebrate. What a douchebag.

[Philosophy That Matters @PhiloMatters]

@ArtemisConsort Exactly. You can't be neutral towards God. Either you are with Him or against Him (Mt. 12:30).

[Philosophy That Matters @PhiloMatters]

@ArtemisConsort I'm glad for you, my brother in Christ. God is totally the best thing that can happen to anyone's life. God did it for me, and I can feel that God will do the same for you.

Just because you think lying to the murderer at the door is reasonable does not give you the license to lie in situations where that context does not apply.

@FoxFoxM3 You are nothing but a human trafficker. Babies are not products you purchase.

@megha_lilly Politically correct human trafficking

[Philosophy That Matters @PhiloMatters]

@adriantabraue This is what politically correct human trafficking looks like in the modern world.

@ThomasSowell If deliberately and freely killing your own child for the sake of your own selfish ambitions is not evil, then I don't know what is. In other words, this abortion-loving woman is clearly evil.

@avidseries @MattWalshBlog The only ones cruel here are people like you who think life can easily be dispensed with, merely because people have been misled into thinking that death is preferable to not meeting their social needs.

This is exactly what the great Elizabeth Anscombe means by people who have a "corrupt mind."

Israeli MK Yitzik Kroizer on the killing of a Palestinian family by the Israeli army in Jenin: "There are no innocent civilians in Jenin, there are no innocent children in Jenin. I support the IDF soldiers in every situation, even if the incidental cost is children or women."

@tpusafaith @InspiringPhilos IOW, what the Church would look like if Protestantism did not happen.

Analytic philosophers: criticize scholastic philosophy for unnecessary hair-splitting of ordinary concepts

The same philosophers: "There are 10 meanings to the word 'is'."

@AStrasser116 Thanks for the recommendation. Will look into them.

@AStrasser116 Imagine if you read the philosophy paper in the physics conference. Ha!

[Philosophy That Matters @PhiloMatters]

@AStrasser116 I have a hunch it is Michael Austin.

@PAHoyeck Rest in peace, Habermas. I hope I can publish my paper on your metaethics, as a way to honor your memory and legacy.

[Philosophy That Matters @PhiloMatters]

I found no other normative ethical theory that is as personally and intellectually satisfying as natural law theory. The moral clarity it provides and the depth of its practical applications are just philosophically unprecedented.

@pepsi Nah.

No offense, but Coke is way better.
