That's right. It's a thread, where you argue with me!
Any topic. I'll argue it. Unless we agree on it, otherwise, it's not an argument.
So, who's the first contender?

Capital Punishment... I think it's dependant on the crime.Quote:

Okay, StormSurge.
Regarding 19th-Century Aesthetic Theory:
I argue that the period of German Idealism consisting of Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Schelling, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel; the Period of Storm und Drang and Weimar Classicism of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller; as well as Gotthold Ephraim Lessing were periods of transition between Enlightenment thought/theory and Analytic/Modernist thought of the 20th-Century. In essence, I maintain that 19th-Century aesthetic theory was an attempt to break free from the rigidity and regulations of Neo-Classical and Enlightenment thought; the writings of Racine, Moliere, Corneille [Neo-Classicists] as well as those of Claude Adrien Helvetius, Diderot, Hume, Berkeley, Voltaire [Enlightenment thinkers] differed in terminology, viewpoint and purpose from the works of Schiller, Hegel, Goethe, etc.
Examples of subtopics regarding the particular argument:
1) Hegel's concept of the term sublation.
2) Concepts of Immanence and Transcendence.
3) Hegel's Master/Slave Dialectic.
4) The dichotomy between Rationalism and Empiricism.
5) Schiller's dichotomy of Nature and Reason.
6) Lessing's concept of Aristotelian mimesis.
7) Hegel's concepts on the History of Philosophy.
8) Hegel's concepts on the Philosophy of History.
9) The differences between objective and subjective thought.
10) The concept of Hegel's Absolute Ideal.
11) Goethe's concept of the Wertherian tragic figure in his "The Sorrows of Young Werther".
12) Schiller's concept of apolaustics, its relation to aesthetic theory and human nature; its relation to Realist thought such as Hobbesian theory.
Sweet Jesus...
It's not that difficult a subject if you've got a bit of time to read in on the subject.Quote:

Yeah, 'cus I defiantly had to time to read up on German Idealism in the 10 seconds in between when I read Conrad comments and right before I posted my own...I much prefer the subject of the Nazi "death" camps anyway.Quote:

No point of critisism towards you. I never meant to say that in 10 seconds you could read in.Quote:

Because their proper name is (or was) Nazi Internment camps. I'm just too lazy to say internment.Quote:

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel would be inimical or hostile to the concept of metaphysical subjectivism, or the concept of individual reality, lack of an underlying theme of reality and no universality of expression regarding this particular viewpoint. Hegel would more likely fit in to the viewpoint of metaphysical objectivism that there is a true reality although perceptions differ in accordance to individualistic factors. In addition, the concept of solipsism deals with the basis of reality as a mere mental construction of the self thereby the autonomy and determination of other individuals is nonexistant.
From my knowledge on Hegelian thought, the Post-Kantian tradition, etc I believe that Hegel was torn between two factors: adherence to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the adherence to Immanuel Kant; his treatises and discourses are an attempt at fusion of two different philosophical viewpoints. Fichte and Schelling deal with certain patterns of thought that provide a transition point between Immanuel Kant and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
I agree with Miza on this Storm guy

Storm, why do you always where black dresses instead of something colorful, like a flower print sun dress or something. You always look like you are going to a funeral.
Its because he, like elsworth (always gotten the idea he wears black), loves black and if they didn't wear it, they would end up burning alive in white clothes.
That makes no sense.
What the hell are you talking about?Quote:
