In this year of our Lord MMXIV, Please, forgive the longer delay in my reply than I would have liked, but with this returned comment, hope with me that it is worth reading. If we are not concerned with the existence of a thing, but are only concerned with whether it is knowable to us that...

In this year of our Lord MMXIV, Please, hope with me that I am able to contribute what is worthwhile to this thread, but remember that I am an amateur in all things, especially in friendship. Although, it is of interest that despite how I approach any friendship in only a bumbling and...

In this year of our Lord MMXIV, Please, know that I have very much enjoyed reading your comments here, and hope with me that my comments might add even a shadow of what is worthwhile. This fair question is one of the first, I think, in a good investigation into scientific inquiry. It would...

In this year of our Lord, MMXIV, Please, be patient with me in my hopes of contributing only what is worthwhile with this post and every post, but, please, know that I have very much enjoyed even the briefest of your messages. There is in certain less-developed theistic traditions, and here I...

In this year of our Lord, MMXIV, Please, hope that this short addendum to my previous post is worthy of your time. Insofar as the word stands for a concept, and a concept has been informed by what is, we must say that those words are meaningful, for what else is meaning? Now that this word...

In this year of our Lord, MMXIV, Please, hope with me that whatever it is that I might post is more than relevant, but also worthwhile. Perhaps there is a mistake here of presenting metaphysically what should only be treated pragmatically; perhaps only Ash Borer could here really tell us. I...

In this year of our Lord, MMXIV, Please, hope that my reply here is worth reading, and that I do more than write for myself, but where I am lacking, please, supply my want. On this question, even the ancient masters are divided, modern philosophical schools too. In an old aristotelian sense...

In this year of our Lord, MMXIV, Please, pray with me that what I have to post both contributes what is worthwhile and does not detract from your own post. Thank you for responding to me in such a timely way, and with many good questions. While this dictionary or that dictionary can be...

In this year of our Lord, MMXIV, Please, hope with me that what I post here is a worthwhile contribution, and not strictly a repetition of the comment of frogoholic101. I did want to post a couple of resources for you, -Eon-: The Wikipedia article on Threefold Repetition in Chess also has a...

[12:01:47] @Acedia: I feel like Aristotle.

In this year of our Lord, MMXIV, Please, hope with me that whatever it is that I post is worthwhile, and where I am lacking, please, supply my want. In the first book called Topics, the Philosopher details the beginning of a method for dialectical inquiry, that is those questions that are...

In this year of our Lord, MMXIV, Please, hope that I am able to contribute what is worthwhile with this post, though it be little more than marginalia. Whether we are able to predicate of this thing or that thing existence, seems a nonsensical question, for if even in concept this or that...

In this year of our Lord, MMXIV, Please, pray that my comments here contribute what is worthwhile, edifying the readers. While the theological traditions out of which these questions arise would admit that these things are beyond the power of our intellect to know as they are in themselves...

In this year of our Lord, MMXIV, Please, forgive me, friend, if I am entirely too late to your post to contribute to you in a meaningful way, but pray that whatever it is that I do indeed contribute here is worthwhile, though these few lines might more be marginalia amidst your more poignant...
