Answer 1

1

The distinction between the practical and speculative intellects is that the speculative is simply interested in the truth, whereas the practice is only interested in the truth for some other goal. The practical intellect must also adhere to the world, but its sanctity is further defined by an aim or operation.

A significant argument in analytic ethics, for example, involved whether moral judgment sentences (e.g., "It is immoral to tell a falsehood") are descriptions of some characteristic of the universe, in which case the sentences might be true or untrue, or are just statements of the subject's sentiments.

The term "philosophy" literally means "love of wisdom." Philosophy, in its broadest definition, is an activity in which individuals attempt to comprehend basic truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their connections to the world and one another.

For if moral law does truly give a positive idea of freedom, then we know how a person with totally free will would act... It chooses to act on moral law to retain its freedom, and we may do the same. We may set ourselves free by acting morally.

"Religious freedom does not imply religious freedom." In response to the argument, my buddy Rob Boston had an excellent response: "The Constitution really ensures that there shall be no laws respecting an establishment of religion, or forbidding the free practice thereof."

Every individual has the right and freedom of thought, belief, political opinion, and the decision to fulfill or not fulfill the criteria of his or her chosen religion. However, in a civilized and democratic society, such valuable individual freedom cannot be assumed to be unlimited.
