If you want to practice law, the law component is obviously the most important. If you want to be part of a commercial organization as a legal consultant or some such semi-legal role then commerce will be a boon. You can press your advantages whichever way. Doing psych in a sci/law degree will...

Wait till we get a crisis in epistemological conflict, then maybe we'll see about that. In the meantime, we must wait for something convincing

It is true No-one has the exact same beliefs as I do, so everyone is doomed to have words with me one day or another :) I like to think we all come out a bit more open minded to alternate perspectives at the end of it.... especially my perspectives

In philosophy there most certainly isn't... the two mainstream moral theories (utilitarianism and deontology) take hold of very large groups of supporters and are for the most part perceived as being very much at odds (though I have looked at reconciling the two, which proved more a matter of...

As for this morals change and evolve business, that's pretty controversial. I think it needs a bit of clearing up though, because if by "morals" it is meant "accepted social values," then of course they change. But if it is meant by morals, morality in general (ie. what is good and bad), then...

Generally, I know what you mean about this 'backlash.' Western social norms have become a lot looser over the past 50 years, yet recently there has been (in some groups) a real swing to conservative morals, largely fuelled by religion. The thing is, both sides bother me a lot. The...

What the..

Oh don't be like that, come back to the light side! Existentialism can be a bright happy theory..

I am more attuned to moderate empiricism (though I have also been significantly influenced by logical positivism).

No, unless you can prove the accuracy of your intuition :P

It only says the law part on your card - I'm a B.A. / LL.B. and it doesn't have the Arts part either. Your unipass is your online password. You create it online - there should be a link at MyUNSW in the enrolling section.

The short answer, no.

That really is a completely unfeasible idea. With respect, her honour Justice Bell has no idea what she's talking about on this Exactly

This thread is one idiotic comment after another

I think you've got it in reverse. Existence precedes essence. But don't worry - the loss of external value (from God) allows us to create value within ourselves, a value that is in fact greater and superior because it cannot be taken away by such external forces. At least I don't get spoon...

Meaning is subjective, non-propositional, infinite; we give our lives whatever meaning we make for ourselves. We define ourselves and our life's pursuits, so I'd say each person creates their own individual meaning from this world. I think freedom is intertwined with this. It is an atrocity...

My point is that anything is better than nothing (I wouldn't mind the challenge :P). And yes, exactly. An extremist skeptic approach he takes, asserts his (theist) beliefs, then fails to provide any justification for them.

You have yet to provide any form of justification for your beliefs. Answer the bloody question, does God exist, and if so, what are your reasons?

Hahaha Ah dear...

What about them?
