What is beyond the universe?

Thu Apr 19, 2007, 5:41 AM
:bulletpurple:--TO JOIN, ADD US TO YOUR FRIENDS LIST--:bulletpurple:

Welcome to the Philosophy Club @ Deviant Art! Our goal is to maintain a collection of writings by the many self-proclaimed philosophers on Deviant Art. One definition of a philosopher is a person devoted to studying and producing results in philosophy. The word, "philosopher," literally means "lover of wisdom." We are by no means suggesting that this is what a philosopher actually is; this is for you to determine.

We like to consider ourselves the "unofficial" philosophy forum of Deviant Art, as there is technically not a philosophy forum anywhere to be found. One of our intents is that our journal entries will become a non-stop battleground of philosophical discussion, like a toilet stall covered in obscene graffiti.

The fact that you have acknowledged your own existence- (we hope) -is sufficient evidence that you are capable of philosophical thought, and we welcome you aboard. If you wish to join, simply add us to your friends list and we will add your avatar to our list of thinkers. We may occasionally contact you about all things philosophical. Until then, get to know the others ...and spread the word! (Shamelessly plugging the club with your own friends is a great way to bring 'em in. That, and annoy the heck out of your chums.)


:bulletpurple:--CURRENT TOPIC--:bulletpurple:
The Current Topic is intended to be the stimulant of some kind of organized discussion on its relative journal entry:


What is beyond the universe?

Was the universe designed by an outside agent? Does anything exist outside of the universe? How does this have an effect on our lives?

The Responsibility of the Citizen

As a member of a society, what ought we owe to that society? What should our individual responsibilities toward it be? And how far does this society extend? Neighbourhood, country or world? Are the laws currently in place (wherever you live), reflective of these 'responsibilities'? Should they be?

-Many seperate, but related questions. Run with it! Personal experiences and opinions are certainly welcomed and respected.

...Though justification for opinions may be politely challenged... =P

The Current Topic is intended to be the stimulant of some kind of organized discussion on its relative journal entry:


Is it essential to have meaning to live a worthwhile life?

Occasionally, the rationalist search for meaning yields only rotten fruits (nihilism). Some people say that only God can provide meaning in life and that it is a wise choice to search for it in that place. Others say that appealing to the divine is a sign of weakness. What do you think?

Suggested reading: Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre.

What is it to be human?

Take a moment here. This is an important one: just what are you? A human being, right? Well, what's that? Before putting down a nice ol' scientific answer, ponder the philosophical element. What is it to be a human, if anything at all? Any universal purpose? Universal characteristics? What are the defining elements of humanity?

Suggested reading: Darwin, Blaise Pascal, Albert Camus, B.F. Skinner and Ernest Hemmingway.

The Current Topic is intended to be the stimulant of some kind of organized discussion on its relative journal entry:

The Basics of Happiness: What are the essential 'ingredients' for your happiness? What things, (physical objects or not), do you require for your own happiness to exist? What is 'enough'? What is too much? Feel free to self-define and debate potentially ambiguous terms...such as 'happiness' itself.
