Re: An Amendment
Idealism’s Resolution of Abortion The following is copied from my book. Abortion is an existential issue for foetuses but abortion is not existential for the mother. Most critically, mother and foetus are not a dichotomy. Were they a dichotomy, abortion would be opposed to nature and abortion would...

Re: An Amendment
Addendum to Part Four. The following are loose ends from the previous essay. I will make my point about race and metaphysics joining at a level beyond empiricism in a non-ethical manner. I add a criticism of anti-racism that an astute sceptic should be capable of, and then finish with comments on l...

Re: An Amendment
The Termination of Anti-Racism Idealism has to destroy ethics to establish its command of reality. Part One recognised ethics inadvertent contribution to Idealist insight. Part Two supported Part One with a teleology. Part Three overviewed the various moments in my systematising when Truth denies e...

Re: An Amendment
Ending Ethics Case by Case Ethics does not possess an axiom, core precept, actuality, a priori or perfect form that can be interrogated – it is a free but nasty spirit. The previous Teleology essay recognised ethics functions with great versatility and its perfidy has helped elicit metaphysical Tru...

Re: An Amendment
Note to jup. The above essay explains the intimate connection between the evolution of consciousness and money. I have exorcised your phobia about “trading in wisdom” and you are free to critique my wisdom. If you want to do serious philosophy, don't set limits on your commitment.

Re: An Amendment
This essay is an abridgment of my teleology. It makes G. W. F. Hegel’s dialectical movement applicable to specific moments in Western history and delineates what is climactic in this progression. As the second essay on the destruction of ethics, it accompanies Part One with examples of ethical relat...

Re: An Amendment
Pam, here is my advice. Blow your budget and get a copy of my book. In respect to your mystical experience, you need to know about Truth in light. You will find that in the second part of Chapter Two. That will give you a metaphysical basis for your theorising. My book will make you familiar with co...

What makes wisdom different as a commodity? My need of wisdom knows no financial barriers and the 'product' on offer here is an ultimate. I would like to understand your "purism".... I won't trade in wisdom.

Re: An Amendment
This is Part One of a five Part study of ethics that outlines the destruction of ethics. In this instalment, the point of interest is ethical relativity.

Re: An Amendment
Hi Pam. Here is your statement of relevance. I believe I understand why you have defined my wisdom as mysticism, let’s see how close I am. You believe I present a doctrine of mysticism because I do not present an analysis of ‘what goes on behind the scenes’ of idea making or creation or causation, c...

Re: An Amendment
Hi jupiviv and Pam. Thanks to you both, but it is awfully hard to figure what you are saying. Beginning with jup. and the piece that starts: “Metaphysic (as opposed to metaphysics)” If this is a sincere comment I am left with the impression that you cannot do metaphysics. In regards to “meat on your...

Re: An Amendment
Problems with objective truth To go straight to the point, the key question for philosophy’s evolution is, “Can dialectic detect its relativity?” – No. It takes logic and Truth to demonstrate truth is relative. The relativity of truth is suspected these days, but truth trying to find consummate tru...

Re: An Amendment
Hi jupiviv. Good on you for having a go at me. I will ignore your opening analogy because it does not connect. Metaphysics is about immanent Truths. You cannot make this analogy because appearances and immanence are so different. You seem not to be aware that there is a fully systematised metaphysic...

Re: An Amendment
Two More features of Non-Duality Every would-be philosopher wants to do philosophy in a new way. For absolute Idealism the imperative is to restart philosophy with real logic. Two features stemming from logic are: the unassailable nature of existential dichotomies and the command of reality gained ...

Re: An Amendment
What Matters? When minds concentrate on what philosophy is about, there is no escaping this edict: Philosophy is the captive of logic. Logic is the Way of the logos and it should impart absolute Truth. The Absolute is what matters. Dialectic is not logic, so philosophy has been lead all over the pl...

Re: An Amendment
It is simpler to acquaint ones-self with my Idealism than try to follow an overview because Idealism involves real logic. I may be digging a theoretical hole, but the following is Absolute Idealism by a definitive Idealist, and that is a first. Every dialectical attempt to explain Idealism is hopele...

I have edited and rewritten a few of my earlier essays. This is one of the more important. Ontology Metaphysics is about what is pre-ordained, in time and being. Alternatively stated, metaphysics studies processes antecedent to appearances. Pre-ordination cannot be seen, so it is futile to try to do...

Re: An Amendment
Non-duality Absolute Idealism achieves its raison d’etre by being non-dualistic. Non-dualistic thinking is facilitated with diagrams. An analogy is depictions of electrical circuitry. Prose cannot do the same job as a circuitry diagram and the same is true for Truth. All Truths synthesise existenti...

Re: An Amendment
