Unfalsifiable nonsense.

Read Popper, Kripke, Wittgeinstein, Quine, and Sam Harris

>Unfalsifiable nonsense.
I'm pretty sure he was using it as an expression.
Jesus man why's everyone here such a tryhard?

Check Michel Tournier for instance. He represents everything you want maybe without the versified poetry. On the other hand:

Milan Kundera
Derek Walcott

>using Kirpke as example of materialism
Holy shit
>>7865585
Chesterton is supremely unique. But check out Belloc and Feser.

>>7865621
Wittgenstein believed in a soul, y'dunce.

>>7865757
And Kirpke is used in defense of dualism just about always, since he wrote.

>People who respond negatively and quickly to people even suggesting through rhetoric the presence of a soul aren't properly educated.

Quelle suprise.

>>7865762
You may notice how neither of us argued that a soul exists. Only that Kirpke and Wittgenstein are far from staple Harris tier materialists.

>>7865774
I never argued that a soul existed either.

>>7865780
I misread, sorry.

>Sam Harris

This is bait, right?

>Where are the polyglot writers who can move from theology to editorial, from prose to verse, from critic to philosopher and do it with a light heart and a cheerful disposition that lifts the soul to read?

Peter Sloterdjik strikes me as the perfect example of this.
He is a more difficult than Chesterton though.
