Soissons was cool. Imagine, instead of a bunch of faggoty baguettes claiming Roman "culture", true descendants of Roma holding northern Gaul. Fuck Clovis.

Papacy.
Papal Rome was much more tyrannical and bloodthirsty than Pagan Rome.

I kinda feel sorry for Hitler now. He was probably brain damaged towards the end of his life.

He was almost certainly a hellenized Jew who grew up outside of Palestine itself.
And as for why, isn't it obvious? Paul was the one who went out and converted the gentiles, mostly by saying you don't need to be a Jew and chop up part of your dick to be a Christian. Consequently, he got more followers than those sticks in the mud who are demanding you live by those old ritual laws.
And if that wasn't enough, the more Jewish Christians got decimated during the revolt at the end of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

What do you lads of the Zionist movement?
I have been reading up on its history and its they actually rounded up Jews from so many different parts of the world, speaking different languages with different cultures the mileage to create a Jewish state All basically within hundred years

It's incomplete. One day every Jew will live in Israel.
Its a testament to the artificiality of the nationalist experiment really. The Jewish communities of the time that would go on to form Israel had actually very little in common with one another outside of religious tradition and some artifacts of the Hebrew language. Jewish identity was something that had to be forged, to be convinced of: it was a construct formed out of a perceived necessity and legitimized by enduring outside hostility. All the while, they sold the existing inhabitants of Palestine as being some great "other" that stood in the way of their interests, despite that Palestinian population actually having a fair number of Jews among them that would be excluded from the new Israeli identity.
From a neutral point of view, did the British really "abuse" the colonists? If so, why did they abuse the colonists?
Absolutely not. British were simply trying to collect their taxes rightfully owed to them by their subjects. Britain financed and provided security for the colonies, it was in their right to demand a return on their investment.
Early Americans were nothing but deadbeat hooligans evading taxes. You know what would happen to such people in today's America? They would rot in jail!
>>884637
No
The British had spent an exorbitant amount of money protecting the colonies when they asked the British to do so in the 7 Years War. The taxes levied against the colonies (which were incredibly small in comparison to the taxes people on England payed) were to help pay for that.

/lit/ has this thing for Greek literature. Can we make one for Philosophy? Maybe even ones for Economy and Law?
>>884305
Philosophy is very exhaustive and long.
Consider that the entire Greek literature list itself would be as long as an extensive list of how to cover Greek philosophy, which would really only be about 5-10% of the total philosophy. Plus this board conists of a few experts and a few extremely opinionated anons that have probably never read a philosophy book. Can you imagine what would happen when we get discussing that should be one the list to the 20th century philosophy?

And isn't the /lit/ chart suffering from the same reductionism? No one said anything about an exhaustive list.

Hello /his/,
mathematician here.
Why is philosophy written in such unclear language? The most ideas are pretty easy but it is hard as fuck to read all those shit texts.

Do things have a meaning?
Is there are an absolute higher moral code that people should abide too?
Is there a definite way to prove if said code exists?
Or could it be that things have no meaning, and there is no such a thing as a noble, higher goal, and we just give meaning to things according to our own will?
>>892035
>Do things have a meaning?
Depends of your definition of meaning.
>Is there are an absolute higher moral code that people should abide too?
None that is ""absolute""
>Or could it be that things have no meaning, and there is no such a thing as a noble, higher goal, and we just give meaning to things according to our own will?
Pretty much.
stop making this thread, it already exists and is always retarded
>>892035
>Do things have a meaning?
I'll assume you mean in an objective sense, because I don't anyone would have trouble accepting that we can and do project subjective meaning onto things. I'd say no, but like the other anon said we'll have to get straight on what we mean by "meaning."
>Is there are an absolute higher moral code that people should abide too?
I'll say probably not. It is my intuition that if the answer to your first question is yes, then the answer to the second might be yes as well.
>Is there a definite way to prove if said code exists?
I doubt it.
>Or could it be that things have no meaning, and there is no such a thing as a noble, higher goal, and we just give meaning to things according to our own will?
Probably.
Sorry I didn't really have anything good to offer you to argue with, but I will say this: I think those questions are less interesting than other metaphysical, epistemological, and ontological questions that pop up in the analytic tradition.
