zg7666 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Which one of you guys was in southern Russia!? http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/16/us-russia-kant-shooting-idUSBRE98F0DI20130916 "(Reuters) - An argument over the theories of 18th century philosopher Immanuel Kant ended in a man being shot in a grocery store in southern Russia." Am I the only one interested in hearing the "arguments" from this dispute?
Pepin Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I'd say it is the most important of the story.

LovePrevails Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Many a time I have wanted to extract a pistol and fire during a philosophical discussion of this enlightenment philosopher.
nathanm Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Maybe Kant wasn't the only one who was very rarely stable.
LovePrevails Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 the main problem is that the shooter couldn't rationally will it to be universal law that all disputes over Kantian ethics be solved by pistol.
