	Neoplatonism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The great third century thinker and 'founder' of Neoplatonism, Plotinus, is responsible for the grand synthesis of progressive Christian and Gnostic ideas with the traditional Platonic philosophy.
		Of course, these thinkers held, respectively, quite different views as to why and how the soul experiences the descent as an evil; but they held one thing in common: that the rational soul will naturally choose the Good, and that any failure to do so is the result of forgetfulness or acquired ignorance.
		His message is quite simple, and is manifestly distilled from the often cumbersome doctrines of earlier thinkers (especially Iamblichus and Proclus).

	The Buddha and His Message, by Bhikkhu Bodhi
		This aspiration, nurtured by boundless love and compassion for all living beings caught in the net of suffering, is the force that sustains the bodhisattva in his many lives of striving to perfect the påramis.
		At the outset I must stress that the Buddha was not born as an Enlightened One.
		These discourses show the Buddha as an astute political thinker who understood well that government and the economy can flourish only when those in power prefer the welfare of the people to their own private interests.

		Enlightened self-interest is how the Libertarian Philosophy and a Libertarian society should work.
		In fact Libertarians are the most politically enlightened and kind people you may ever have the opportunity to meet.
		In America most people are enlightened enough to realize this, but this does not mean that they do not believe in using force/violence against people who have done nothing to harm anyone.

	Environmental Ethics
		Enlightened anthropocentrism, they argue, is sufficient for that practical purpose, and perhaps even more effective in delivering pragmatic outcomes, in terms of policy-making, than non-anthropocentric theories given the theoretical burden on the latter to provide sound arguments for its more radical view that the nonhuman environment has intrinsic value (cf.
		An important message underlying the debate, perhaps, is that even if ecological restoration is achievable, it might have been better to have left nature intact in the first place.
		Furthermore, unlike deontology or consequentialism the moral focus of which is other people or states of the world, one central issue for virtue ethics is how to live a flourishing human life, this being a central concern of the moral agent himself or herself.

		I was also going to respond to your message in a much more lighthearted fashion until I hit the bit about deleting the original; ironically, that is EXACTLY the sort of "I don't like it--get rid of it" attitude that actually DOES turn me off the conservative ideal.
		Turtle's message, even taken completetly seriously, was /still/ describing people in terms of their philosophies, /not/ in terms of some uncontrollable characteristic.

	Buddhism And The Free Thinkers
		Many so-called free thinkers are actually not "free" thinkers, but they are lazy to think.
		Immediately after gaining enlightenment, when there were many disciples, the Buddha said, "Monks, now you and I are free from human and divine bondages".
		According to some western thinkers Buddhism is known as "the religion of freedom and reason".

	Pius XII Christmas Message of 1942
		As the Holy Christmas Season comes round each year, the message of Jesus, Who is light in the midst of darkness, echoes once more from the Crib of Bethlehem in the ears of Christians and re-echoes in their hearts with an ever new freshness of joy and piety.
		It is a message which lights up with heavenly truth a world that is plunged in darkness by fatal errors.
		That message can solve the most tortuous questions, unsolved and insoluble for those who bring to their investigations a mentality and an apparatus which are ephemeral and merely human; and those questions stand up, bleeding, imperiously demanding an answer, before the thought and the feeling of embittered and exasperated mankind.

	Theology Today - Vol 15, No. 3 - October 1958 - ARTICLE - Contemporary Theology In the Light of 100 Years
		Kant thereafter claimed to kill reason to make room for faith, but his major achievement was actually to undermine all intellectual faith in the transcendent, as he called the supernatural, and to reduce religious knowledge to a dependence, upon a this-worldly morality.
		The religious thinker became faced by the dilemma that if knowledge is univocal we do not go beyond this world; if it is equivocal, we can know nothing beyond this world.
		No one who is sensitive to man's despair in the face of the evils and the brevity of life can help honor the liberal thinkers for their concerned faith and work in trying to keep the Christian Gospel and man's best knowledge together.

	Rational Thinkers
		Enlightened self-interest (along with a dose of altruism) is more than sufficient for the creation of a value system that most people could accept.
		That is obvious today, where the ethics of the past, carrying the weight of religion, threaten to overcome somewhat more enlightened and developed ethical systems -- ones that don't call for hatred and condemnation for no better reason than because "God says so".
		I cannot remember what I said, But as a rule If my message is intended for you, then Your name will be on the top line, otherwise it is probably a general statement.

		Furthermore, it is an unusual motivating and living message to all contemporary, responsible individuals, especially those enlightened Muslims who energetically and persistently struggle to bring knowledge and awareness to the afflicted members of their society; and regardless of frustrations and oppositions, responsible Muslims remain firm in their efforts to overcome oppression.
		If responsible enlightened souls in Muslim societies who are searching for a method, an ideology and a solution to the problems of their nation would return to the greatest book, they would learn the best lessons from it.
		Is there no other underlying message in the ayat for those who are confronted with today's corrupt conditions and who, out of a sense of responsibility toward the future, try to identify their prob- ems?

		The message is one of difference of operational logic, of output, and of outcome as well as of the possibility, at times, of actual retreat of the classical capitalist forms of production in face of family farming.
		The splendid tradition of Russian rural studies was rooted in the regional authorities' (Zemstvo's) 1860s to 1917 effort that was introduced mostly by enlightened nobles and their employees within the "rural intelligentsia" to take account of and to improve the livelihood of the plebian populations in their charge, which was mostly rural and peasant.
		The expression "economics" is somewhat misleading, in fact, as was the usual occupational designation of most of those involved as "rural statisticians of the Zemstvo." What evolved were peasantry-focused social sciences in their broader sense, merging the contemporary Western disciplines of economics, history, anthropology, ethnography, sociology, demography, public medicine, agronomy, and ecology.

	To All You Intellectually Dishonest 'Thinkers'
		I would say, and I would bet that most 'critical thinkers' would agree, that most 'historical' or 'scientific' documents written before the 18th century would be pre-scientific in thought and content.
		Yet these great thinkers (and I happen to be referring to astronomy in this instance, a great love of mine) are revered and treated with understanding and understood in the light of the times in which they wrote.
		You enclose the phrase critical thinkers in quotation marks, indicating a change in meaning from what the phrase normally means; therefore, I cannot comment because I do not know how you intend this remark to be understood by the reader.

		It seemed to me like the Pyramids in their loneliness, in whose yet undiscovered chambers may be hidden, for the enlightenment of coming generations, the sacred books of the Egyptians, so long lost to the world; like the Sphynx half buried in the desert.
		Writing to his wife after the loss of their little girl, Plutarch commends to her the hope set forth in the mystic rites and symbols of this drama,: as, elsewhere, he testifies that it kept him "as far from superstition as from atheism," and helped him to ap- proach the truth.

		Revelation, as historically the primary source of human enlightenment, needs to be more adequately explained.
		Islam's moral and ethical emphasis should be linked more to the achievement of enlightenment and happiness in this life, than to securing good fortunes in the next.
		The focus ought to be on elaborating an Islamic perspective that is anchored in faith and morality, orientated to value, informed by reason, and committed to the human's quest for knowledge and good life.

		Thus, the message of Clement is threefold: Clement writes that the true source and inner revelation of the writings of Plato, is the same Logos attested to in the Gospel of John.
		This inability of carnal man to comprehend the Mysteries of God is true with respect to what is reveled within the body of the text of the Greek philosophical mystery religions, as well as the very scriptures that modern Christians base their doctrines of belief upon.
		This message, written in a widely acclaimed and accepted Christian book, is perhaps one of the finest examples of Gnosticism known to the modern-day religious world.

		Certainly material changes (say, in the body, as with aging, or coming to physical maturity) register, and emotional changes register (being emotionally traumatized and healing from that trauma), which is why it makes sense to us to pay our doctors and psychotherapists.
		But spiritual changes are very subtle- to the point where one could question (as so many of the key thinkers of the Twentieth Century did question) whether they exist or not.
