Can anyone briefly describe to me how the relationship between the Catholic Church and the leaders of the Scientific Revolution was and the struggles that were had by "scientists" (I realize they technically weren't but I couldn't think of any other word hehe) from it?

Thanks for the informative post, reddit.

>The practice of religious castration continued into the Christian era, with members of the early church practising celibacy (including castration) for religious purposes,[161] although the extent and even the existence of this practice among Christians is subject to debate.[162] The early theologian Origen found evidence of the practice in Matthew 19:10-12,:[163] "His disciples said to him, "If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry." But he said to them, "Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can." (NRSV)

>Tertullian, a 2nd-century Church Father, described Jesus himself and Paul of Tarsus as spadones, which is translated as "eunuchs" in some contexts.[164] Quoting from the cited book:[164] "... Tertullian takes 'spado' to mean virgin ...". The meaning of spado in late antiquity can be interpreted as a metaphor for celibacy, however Tertullian's specifically refers to St. Paul as being castrated.[164]

Is that Bailey jay

No, even your OP says it referred to celibacy only (which indeed has been an apostolic tradition, even for married men), not self castration. Also, Nicea I prohibited the practice of self castration
>>
Castration does not involve penile tissue, emasculation is the cutting of "we wes"

I want to study and hope to get a job in the field of history. I live somewhere around Vancouver (BC, Canada), so I am planning on perhaps going to SFU or UBC for history studies. The thing is, I absolutely love the study of history, particularly 14th-21st century European, though I really can't think of any other job which is history related apart from becoming a professor/teacher. I hear that history teachers aren't in high demand here. Is there any prospect of me following my passion of history into a life career? Does anybody have some insight on this topic?


How fucked and/or retarded am I /his/?

You're fucked.

European history requires 3 languages other than english at archival / academic standard. I'm told that German is obligatory in the North American system.

You then need access to archival material that noone else is using which your potential eventual employers will be horny for. You are predicting this about 16 years out.

You then need 3 books. Your PhD is the first one. The second one gets you a tenure track position. The third one confirms your tenure.

You will need to move for work. The American historical association basically runs whore selection interviews in the hotel rooms above conference. You're wheeled in in your lingerie and they write little notes in their book. "But we really wanted a cultural historian of women's history in the Netherlands in the 1700s, not a social historian of gender history in the low countries in the 1600s."

boom. 10 years of PhD down the drain.

By the way, during that 10 years prepare to eat offal like you've never eaten before.

Also you know that little shit in the tutorials you were in? Guess who you get to try to control so that the other 29 kids can learn for 6 hours a week so you can eat tripe and kidney sandwiches during your 14 hour days?

Or you could go for a librarianship MA or archivist MA or curatorial MA after your BA and enjoy the wonders of oversupply of labour in those professional fields.

Getting a disability pension after your PhD is also a possibility, but it means you'll need to restrict yourself to Canadian history and learn to find a trailer park within bicycling distance of a major archive.

Good luck, you'll need it.

I almost forgot.

You could teach secondary education and try to pump out a journal article every 2 years and drink yourself to death.

Is teaching secondary education a poor choice? From what I remember the high school curriculum was easy and straightforward. From the teachers that I have asked about the pay, they said that it's pretty decent and definitely survivable.

It's widely known that the loss of Constantinople led to the Age of Discovery, which led to European domination of the world.

Suppose the Turks never took Constantinople?

/his/ are films inspired by comic books the result of a desire of people to escape the physicalist world view?
As religion is dying out in the west, people seem to feel like a mechanistic physicalist world view is inescapable and comic book inspired films might be a form of escape to a reality where gods do exist and the perceived determinism of human and social life can be transcended.
I myself would love to know what can we propose that would make space for this new kind of freedom. The freedom from a deterministic world that incorporates human life completely within it, including concepts like free will.
Are there already tools for creating this mental freedom that i am simply not aware of?
A society that sees itself as one big biological network of machines, within the huge machine we call the universe needs to restructure many fundamental concepts in order to satisfy the desire to escape the conclusions of the contemporary world view.

>Are there already tools for creating this mental freedom that i am simply not aware of?
This is either a good question or some extremely good bait.

Take the bread pill, anon. Once you open up yourself to a relationship with the Infinity, no amount of movies or le edgy fedora nonsense can dissuade you that there is more to existence than this physical world and the physical world is only an incredibly small part of creation.

People always make fun of HURR JEBUS XDDDD, but Jesus Christ was the Divine in flesh, walking the Earth to show us how to have a relationship with the Divine and transcend the power of sin. Just as He conquered his death, He can conquer our deaths and, therefore, Death itself. It is only possible when you are exposed to the truth that the material world is an incredibly weak and small part of creation as a whole, and holds nothing compared to the power of God.

Jesus Christ lived and died to show you this truth that the material world is an illusion which serves only to affect the changes in us necessary at this stage of our creation.
>>
>>552529
No.
JEEBUS is an idea that cannot return as it was. It had its time and place, much like greek and roman polytheism.
We need new tools that are appropriate for our time to create a place within the modern world view and ideology for freedom from a mechanistic physicalist world view.

What does it mean to be an artist?Does it mean not to rely on popular conventions? Does it mean making decisions about what you do that are the result of your own personal ideas?
How can this distinction be made if all of us are the result of the societies we live in?
What is the ideal artist? Is it a person that builds structures and opinions about the world (that do not rely too much on popular opinions and conceptions but also do not become too personal and obscure) and uses those structures of ideas to create things inspired by these ideas?
Art IS usually identified with something personal, often complex, requiring thought.
Entertainment is usually associated with ideas everyone can understand and process with almost no thought.
What do you think?
Should an artist work by creating things intuitively without much thought? is an artist simply a channeller of secret social desires and conflicts?
If art is the product of a combination of intuition and technical skill should an artist then live life a certain way to ensure he is in tune with the zeitgeist? Is an artist an artist inherently and completely(to be an artist you must be a certain kind of person leading a certain kind of life) or not at all?

Art is what women like
>>
And should "complex" art be appreciated as an ideal to strive towards or is it simply art adjusted for the developed tools and standards of criticism(i.e. works that are designed specifically to be analyzed by those analysis theories that are available?) mastered by art critics?
If so what is its opposite? A piece that is completely unplanned created quickly at a moment of inspiration?
>>
>>552420
If the common folk find it beautiful and are amazed, then its good art, imo. I think the art "culture" personifies itself as some high brow elite circle. I think this kills art.

If an average joe can look at art and immediately feel it, then the artist is a genius. The measurement of ones art should be based on those who know nothing about technique, conceptions, structures.

Art these days feels like its in its own bubble, which is not good. This is why I think art, such as tattoos and graffiti, have grown in appreciation over the years.

Because human psychology.
And God's characteristics are gender neutral in the hebrew bible.

Elohai Sara, Elohai Rivka, Elohai Leah ve Elohai Rakhe(God of Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, and Rachel)
