Philosophical Speculations

I'm not sure what "type of conversation" you are interested in, but for my part I am not interested in one type of conversation or another, and I find it weird to be interested in types of conversation. Other than that, thanks for the info about what I can expect, but keep in mind that - as ...

Yes, which is equal to say that all reality is of spiritual nature, that reality is a contextuality, that it is hierarchical, and so on and so forth. Yet - and this is the level of granularity we are at in this discussion - we can find countless references, in Steiner, and the forum, about the ...

How? By doing the thinking exercises in the outer world indicated in my quote, and similar ones, which are not concentration/meditation and require engagement in the outer world. From the phenomenological perspective, the 'outer world' is all imaginative content which has receded as memory from the ...

This is simply something you will need to figure out for yourself, at this point. I have already addressed this from every possible way that my imagination is currently capable of. Going back through Cleric's innumerable illustrations of the study-meditate approach may help you see how it is ...

There is this widespread mistaken notion, perhaps held over from previous centuries, that the Church is somehow a political actor and that it should operate at the level of positivist earthly governance. Like we have discussed, this is simply not the function of the Church in the hypermodern era ...

It goes to show how, if we start with a preconceived narrative, the developments can always be seen as supporting that narrative. Indeed! For once, let it be me telling you how you are feeling. You started with an evangelically inspired evil view on the RCC, and now you want to feel that you have ...
