Jean Paul Sartre: "Existentialism is nothing else but an attempt to draw the full conclusions from a consistently atheistic position." http://bit.ly/6HbK0V Jean Paul Sartre: "Existentialism is not atheist in the sense that it would exhaust itself in demonstrations of the non-existence of God. It declares, rather, that even if God existed that would make no difference from its point of view. Not that we believe God does exist, but we think that the real problem is not that of His existence; what …

We have looked into Black H …

Politics made personal - and personality made political This meet-up is for the purpose of exploring a new dimension in political practice that is summed up in Dr Mike Roth's claim: the quality of our personal and political judgments stems directly from the intelligence and the rapport that we are able to embody in the inter-personal space.

Largely unknown on our planet in this year of 2013 is the fact that the process of living is knowable, predictable, understandable, and logical while it fulfills all of the natural instincts, abilities, longings, desires and dreams we as humans can create. There is a standard by which we must live in order to know truth. Life must be lived by following the a priori rules that we are designed to know as common sense. These are neither cumbersome or burdensome but are in some ways contrary to our …
