What is life? What is death? Is there such a thing as life after death? Or does death not mean the end of life?

Attention Philosophers of 314!


We set off on a little learning quest to think about the various ways to construe the above questions. We set off on different learning journeys to examine what various faiths have to say about these questions. Use this space to record your findings - what do Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity have to say?


Is it possible to have a concept of X, without knowing the opposing concept not-X?

Attention Philosophers of 314!

Today, we examined this question:
"Is it possible to have a concept of X, without knowing the opposing concept, not-X? For example, is it possible to know happiness without knowing what unhappiness is?"

We had a very fruitful discussion - many issues and ideas were thrown up. Use this space to consolidate your thoughts and opinions, state any issues or ideas that continue to to plague you. If you have possible answers to your fellow philosopher's queries, do feel free to help resolve them :)

Have fun!
