The incommunicable experience of is-ness.

You can't explain it or intellectualize it. Just meditate.

this looks promising
Kasulis, T. P. Zen Action/Zen Person. Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 1981.
>An insightful philosophical survey of Zen practice, thought, and personhood, reaching back to Nāgārjuna and Taoism but discussing Japanese Zen approaches from Eihei Dōgen, Hakuin Ekaku, and others.

Then why does zen Buddhists usually have teachers if it is simply meditation?

Also isn't Nirvana/Satori achieved randomly in Zen? How would meditation lead to something random?

>>914567
Probably because Castille was bigger and Iess diverse.

>>914567
But Spain doesn't speak Castilian they speak Spanish

dude liked castille better than aragon, moved his capital there and in fact the aragonese even rebelled against him
tl;dr he was a c.uck

>>914248
No thats bullshit. All city states spent at least 1 month of the year training their citizens in hoplite warfare. It was a legal requirement if you were a citizen.

>>914248
Special operations forces are only good at war because they actively train for it

>1 month per year vs 20 years of constant training and active service

The amount of people that died form anti German massacres in Poland before world war 2, the total amount that has died from Capitalism and the amount of Muslims that died from the crusades.
Not commonly accepted really, but they got still got their fair share of believers.

>Anti German Massacres in poland
never really heard of them

>Capitalism
That would be pretty hard to judge seeing as how what is even the cause of an ideology is impossible to begin with anyway.

>Crusades
There were body counts for many cases, but it's pretty hard to give an exact number but out of these it would probably be the easiest to give an estimate for that is based on body counts.

>>913758
Because commies.

Literally

>>913758
Because Russians are deathly afraid of China and want to suck up to it.

If you are wondering why the "international community" didn't react: nukes.

But then, why would the "international community" of the US, Europe, Canada and Australia do anything about the two main opposing powers competing among themselves, essentially weakening their offensive potential?

B-but the Portuguese stole the country from the injuns!

Brazil is part of the Western Christian European white civilization. Other groups/ethnicities are merely aggregates.

Were there any settled tribes in pre Colonial Brazil?

It was real.

What wasn't real was that it was all the time deathmatches.

There is a gladiator cementary showing well battle wounds so it was real but it wasn't constand deathmatch either Flamma is said to lose 4 battles and usually gladiators were killed off outside of the arena if they were too crippled to continue their carreer.

They were real but also heavily dramatized. Galadiators were to refrain from killing their opponents if possible and to draw out the combat so as to appeal to the crowd and lower the risk of loss of profit for their owners. Gladiators were expensive to maintain after all.

There aren't actually a lot of philosophical problems which haven't seen progress.
Zeno's paradox has had some rudimentary answers, and could possible be solved by physics, at least most of its variants.
I guess the paradox of tragedy and the ship of Theseues are pretty big ones still.
There has been a lot of attempts to answer these two but there seems to be no general consensus, as far as I know.
It is also important to note that even if we see progress the answers may drastically change from period to period. Even if we revert our belief to the same answer we believed 1000 years ago, it might be because we have new philosophical knowledge and insight, and thus have made progress.

Calling it one war is pretty silly. It was actually about 4 wars. The 1st won by the English, the 2nd by the French, the 3rd again by the English, and then wrapped up with a final French victory.

>>912249
Calling it a conflict between the French and the English is pretty silly.

What I'd like to know is how it affected English-French relations. Is this where the whole 'Englishmen and Frenchmen are mortal enemies' thing comes from?

Romantic art is mostly boring with a few great pieces. Romantic music is solid overall. Romantic poetry is GOAT.

Sappy, meaningless crap for bored, rich aristocrats of the 19th Century. Modernism kicked it in the nuts, got in a race car and sped away, giving it the finger as it whimpered like a dandy on the floor.

>what is the truth
>is it what's in the textbook, written by a professional and deemed accurate enough by a college professor
>or what a bunch of autistic manchildren internet nazis with no sources want me to believe

Is this really a difficult question for you to answer?

>>911454
Well, the textbook and professor have made literally no mention of the German Civil War, or how the Weimar republic came into being, only that it's great, so I'm smelling a rat.

>>911476
Hmm. That's a little concerning. But they could just be trying to challenge the preconception that Weimar was an unmitigated disaster. Have they mentioned the crash and Weimar's idiotic response to it yet?

>How significant was the cultural exchange between prehistoric Iberia and North Africa?
Very little. It wasn't significant until Carthage invaded the south.

>Was the peninsula dominated by Celts?
If you also consider Basques to be celtic, then yes.

>>911278
No the Iberians where much more diverse. Not only ethnically but also culturaly .

That´s why the roman conquest takes so long.

>>911278
>How significant was the cultural exchange between prehistoric Iberia and North Africa?
Unclear that there was any in prehistoric times. Certainly there is no record of Berbers or other Afroasiatic-speaking peoples in Spain before the arrival of the Carthaginians.
>Was the peninsula dominated by Celts?
Mostly. The northeast coast, Ebro valley, and eastern coast were all apparently Vasconic-speaking, but there seems to have been heavy cultural and social exchange between the two groups. There was a people in the southwest called the Tartessians or Turdetans whose origins and identity are unclear. There were also some Indo-Europeans in the western part of the Iberian peninsula who may not have been Celtic.
