Daily Moron CHANNEL PREVIEW

@dailyem : Totalitarian systems are usually characterized by nationalism (in varying degrees from patriotism and nationalism to fascism and nazism), and any kind of chauvinism. We are accustomed to the division of ideologies onto three wings - left, right and centrist. Nationalism is the right side, but how to deal with the Soviet Union? (The Soviet Union was definitely a country where at different times the governmental system was ranged from authoritarian to totalitarian). The Soviet Union was a hotbed o

@dailyem : Question to the author. “Please explain your understanding of totalitarianism. In modern discourse, there are two definitions of "totalitarianism." Someone interprets it as a concept of building a society around some Idea (sometimes it can be an ideology, but not necessarily). For example, it was so in fascist Italy, Hitler's Germany and the USSR. Another interpretation is a society in which the supervision and control of every citizen is organized, like in Orwell’s "1984". What interpretation i

@dailyem : The stoic concept is deterministic (determinism is absolute predestination or the concept of destiny). The sage accepts his fate, agrees with it, and understands that the laws of the cosmos act in this way. This is his virtue. Offtop. Do you remember the parable of Job? Isn’t it similar? The concept of suicide occupies a special place in Stoic ethics. Suicide is not prohibited. It is even recommended in the case when correct moral choice is unavailable. By the way, according to the sources, Ze

@dailyem : Let's get back to physics. Stoic physics is also divided into two sections: ontology and anthropology. Stoistic ontology is built on the opposition of two beginnings: active and passive ones. By active beginning we understand god, while the matter is a passive beginning, and the world arises from their interaction. In a simple way - god sculpts all of the matter. We already analyzed the pre-Socratics and already dealt with various natural elements; the Stoics also follow this concept. Two active

@dailyem : Stoicism in general and particular is of Zeno of Citium (334-262) related closely with cynicism which preceded it. We cannot be sure which part of the doctrine of stoicism belongs to Zeno, and which part belongs to his disciples. Anyway, Stoicism can be classified into three periods: Early Stoa (4-2 ages b.c.) and its thinkers, such as Zeno himself and his disciples Cleanthes and Chrysippus; Middle Stoa (2-1 ages b.c) with Posidonius and Hecato of Rhodes; and Late Stoa (1-3 ages a.d.) also know

@dailyem : Welcome back. As I can remember, we passed Aristotle, so we already know about two greatest ancient philosophers, whose influence spread throughout ages. Aristotle had loads of pupils, for example, Aristoxen who was a music theorist, Eudemus of Rhodes who decided that god is the most important thing, in fact — he hybridizes Plato's and Aristotle's ideas in a gnosiological aspect; Dikearh who opposed to Plato in political aspect, Strato, whose interests were concentrated on physics, Theophrastu

@dailyem : We are back from our early-summer break and today we are going to talk about work for the philosophy majors. Read 4 minutes https://medium.com/@dailymoron/work-for-the-philosophy-majors-3c6c0b29430f

@dailyem : #moronthemes "I'd like to ask , how come Plato and Aristotle favored the idea of city-states? Was there a specific event they were aware of that guided this view?" The city-state was the best form of social organization in ancient times. First, it is much more effective to control and organize people. Secondly, the political climate was much more aggressive than it is now; there was no other option. Many things, which are usual for us today, were something incredible in ancient times. And city-

@dailyem : #moronthemes #moronquestions A while ago, one of the members of our sweet @dailyemchat asked the following questions. "1) How do we determine what metaphysical ideas are better than others, can we give them weights and how can we do it? Can one metaphysical idea eliminate the other? 2) Is metaphysics worth considering? Or in a positivist epoch, it can be rejected? 3) How do we acquire ideas? And what is the idea itself as a concept?" Sorry that editing took so long. Here are the answers: 1)

@dailyem : Philosophy of start-ups. #moronthemes Today, in a world of globalization and a free market, following modern social and political tendencies, the economy has to mimic the trends. Importance of the subject grows rapidly and business issues go beyond the responsibility circle. Lots of people have money, money turned its intention out of an absolute value of itself to "ability to make something interesting". That happens because of market fullness. In this situation startups come out of the shad
