Do you mean the word "philosophy" has two unrelated meanings? If so, what are they?
I have a Ph.D title. I do want to know what does the Ph. really represent.
This has already been explained several times in this very thread. Will reading it again change anything?
No. It wouldn't. So there's the answer to that.Not really. I don't see the answer to my question.
The way I understand it is that a Ph.D. is a highly educated person who knows philosophy. Is it right?
To such a person, it would probably be right to call him a philosopher.
juvenissun said:I have a Ph.D title.
Not really. I don't see the answer to my question.
No. It wouldn't. So there's the answer to that.
...and what's this supposed to mean?--
Frankly, no. I hadn't followed his other threads closely enough to have picked that up.You didn't know?
If memory serves me correctly, Juvy has claimed to be a geology professor in the past. He also admitted that he wasn't one and then later on, claimed again he was one.
He also claims; rocks are alive and that there are no bad teachers, only bad students.
No. It wouldn't. So there's the answer to that.
...and what's this supposed to mean?--
That should clear up any misunderstandings.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Philosophy
A Doctor of Philosophy degree (often abbreviated Ph.D., PhD, D.Phil., or DPhil[1]) or aDoctorate of Philosophy, from the Latin Doctor Philosophiae, is a type of doctorate awarded byuniversities in many countries.http://gradschool.about.com/od/admissionsadvice/g/phddef.htm
The degree varies considerably according to the country, institution, and time period, from entry-level research degrees to higher doctorates. A person who attains a doctorate of philosophy is automatically awarded the academic title of doctor. During the studies that lead to the degree, the student is called doctoral student, Ph.D. student, or D.Phil. student.
In the context of academic degrees, the term philosophy does not refer solely to the field ofphilosophy, but is used in a broader sense in accordance with its original Greek meaning, which is "love of wisdom". In most of Europe, all fields other than theology, law, and medicine were traditionally known as philosophy, and in Germany and elsewhere in Europe the basic faculty of (liberal) arts was known as the faculty of philosophy.
The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
A very low quality answer. Shame.Who cares?
When we talk about approximations to reality, we are than talking about different realities. They may be similar, but are still different. But to take it a step further, when we talk about things like experiencing the Divine in nature and even other Human Beings, which is "my" reality, I realize that may not be "your" reality, and at that point we move outside of approximations and into quite different realities.Now, "my reality" is a phrase that rings alarm bells for me. I'm working on the basis that there is only one, and that views, understandings and beliefs about such are better or worse approximations to such.
All Human Beings have changed and evolved over time. It's a Truism of being a Human Being. Do you see it differently?"...there's no way I'd promote my reality for you or anyone else to accept."
"Each of us has our own spiritual evolution we have to go through. Its un-avoidable."
You just did.
Because I may have missed it.So, I asked the question before. Did a group of wise people MADE THAT SERIOUS MISTAKE? If so, Why?
I don't need a philosophy degree. But I was given one. I want to know what is the justification.
Because I may have missed it.
What degree?
Given by whom?
I don't think you are thinking.
I gathered that much. Explain it.
I think all the time. I guess I'm not understanding.
I'll be clearer:
Because I may have missed it.
If you were conferred a degree...
What degree?If not.
Given by whom?
OK.
ParseOh, my little comment was just an aside, really--a double entendre. I expressed it as a reaction to your earlier post, knowing that to even begin answering your allegation that--"There is the problem of there being no objective evidence for this character outside of a book, and if Jesus even existed, there is another problem ..."-- would end us quickly, and ultimately, at your favorite analytical concept of: parsimony. And I was already all out of "parsing" at that moment.

Parse
- analyze (a sentence) into its parts and describe their syntactic roles.
- (Computing) analyze (a string or text) into logical syntactic components, typically in order to test conformability to a logical grammar.
As a programmer, the only connection I see between the two words are the first few letters.
I guess you had to be there.
At this point I'll just quote Rhett: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn"You should think: why do I want to ask these questions?
Perhaps, but if I had made it look by every measure that I no longer - or had never - existed, I do not think my wrath would be just.God views his people as His bride. When his people worship other false gods he refers to His people as adulterous. Would you be jealous if your spouse was attracted to something else more than you?
