Default Re: Philosophy questions - Morality & Moral Theories

[ QUOTE ]
Science & Philosophy are not the same thing. You are a bit confused. Do you see how the earth being flat is something that can be disproven using science, but that "self-evident property rights" can't?

Man, like all natural entities, has a set of properties - a "nature". One can determine the nature of, oxygen, or fungus, or an oak tree, through scientific principles. Man is no different.

The nature of man is to make decisions and then act. This process includes observation of his environment, goal setting, and advancement/betterment. It is important to note that man can only act as an individual. Interference with man's thinking and acting, therefore, is "antihuman".

Anyway, it's funny that you think your philosophy is fact, and not up for debate, therefore you get to dictate what laws are oppressive and which aren't. Do you see why this is absurd? Probably not.

I don't get to dictate anything, any more than I get to dictate the shape of the earth.
