Sobre IBD

Sample these observations:So many religions out there! Religious affiliation is alottery ticket. The winning ticket, if there is one, will beannounced in the hereafter, if it exists.In a single male ejaculation, there are some 100 millionsperm cells. Since each cell carries a slightly differentgenetic makeup and would create a different person,each human being who ever lived won the lottery of life atodds of 100 million to one. And yet people complain ofbad luck.In a traditional, theocentric society, the four values of love,marriage, sex, and procreation come as part of a singlepackage.We moderns have unwrapped the package anddisassembled the toy.Statements like 'I really love you!' and 'You are beautiful!'are entrance fees. The Pill made prudence prudery. Humankind does not deserve itself.If you enjoy these, another 1500 like them await you inLANDMINES OF THE MIND. Sometimes amusing; oftenshocking; always thought-provoking.

    Immanuel Kant
    Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals is one of the most important works in modern moral philosophy. It belongs beside Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, and Hobbes.

  • On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
    HENRY DAVID THOREAU
    Civil Disobedience argues that citizens should not permit their governments to overrule their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent ...
  • Beyond Good and Evil
    Friedrich Nietzsche
    Nietzsche, though primarily a philosopher, wrote widely on art, philology, history, religion, tragedy, culture, and science.  In 1886, at the height of his powers, he published Beyond Good and Evil.  Here he examines much of the best of human thought--dogmatic philosophy, Judeo-Christian morality, science and democracy – and finds it lacking.  Rejecting “slave-morality” he pres...

  • The Person of the Millennium
    Manfred Weidhorn
    Galileo’s pioneering use of the telescope showed that the earth is not at the center of the universe and led to his trial and conviction by the Inquisition. This first clash between science and religion still bedevils us today in many ways. Galileo, however, made an even greater contribution to history when, in destroying medieval science and discovering the laws of motion, he ...
