The existence of philosophical sin was a debate waged in the Roman Catholic Church in the late seventeenth century. A philosophical sin is a morally bad act which violates the natural order of reason, not the divine law. The idea of philosophical sin, as opposed to sin theological sin , was advocated by those who wished to construct a moral system independent of God. Those who believed in God and divine law yet contended for a distinction between philosophical and theological sin maintained that there are morally bad acts that, while violating the order of reason, are not offensive to God. They believed that the sinner can be ignorant of the existence of God and that, without the knowledge or consideration of God, it is impossible to offend him. This doctrine of philosophical sin was censured as scandalous, temerarious, and erroneous by Pope Alexander VIII in 1690 in his condemnation of the following proposition Philosophical or moral sin is a human act not in agreement with rational nature and right reason, theological and mortal sin is a free transgression of the Divine law. However grievous it may be, philosophical sin in one who is either ignorant of God or does not actually think of God, is indeed a grievous sin, but not an offense to God, nor a mortal sin dissolving friendship with God, nor worthy of eternal punishment. The Roman Catholic Church maintains the contrary view that sin can be offensive to God even if the sinner either does not know or does not consider God. catholic Category Catholic doctrines fr P ch s philosophique et th ologique ... more details

A philosophical language is any constructed language that is constructed from first principles , like a Engineered language logical language , but may entail a strong claim of absolute perfection or transcendent or even mystical truth rather than satisfaction of pragmatic goals. Philosophical languages were popular in Early Modern times, partly motivated by the goal of recovering the lost Adamic language Adamic or Divine language . The term ideal language is sometimes used near synonymously, though more modern philosophical languages such as Toki Pona are less likely to involve such an exalted claim of perfection. In most older philosophical languages, and some newer ones, words are constructed from a limited set of morphemes that are treated as elemental or fundamental.

Major philosophical movements are often characterized with reference to the nation , language , or historical era in which they arose.

The Philosophical Notebooks of Lenin were a series of summaries and commentaries on philosophical works by Lenin. Included were works by Aristotle , Hegel , Feurbach, Marx, and Deborin . Lenin s notes on dialectics played an influential role in Soviet and Chinese studies on contradiction and the unity of opposites. The Notebooks are often contrasted by scholars with Lenin s Empirocriticism. The proper interpretation of the notebooks would play a major role in the Mechanist debate of the 1920s in the USSR and the One Divides Into Two controversy of 1964 in China.

Nofootnotes date November 2008 Orphan date December 2008 Philosophical Consultancy is a relatively new movement in philosophy which applies philosophical thinking and debating to the resolution of a person s problem. Gerd Achenbach and Ad Hoogendijk are two, German and Dutch philosophers who established themselves as consultant philosophers in the ninety eighties Achenbach 1984, 2002 Hoogendijk 1988 and led the way to a number of other developments all over the world. They proposed an alternative to psychotherapeutic culture by working purely in the arena of existential investigation with their visitors as they call their clients or patients . Achenbach argues that in philosophising what matters is not the thinking that informs life, but the living that calls to thinking and that can give direction in its own right. Living comes before thinking. Practice precedes theory. The movement is sometimes referred to as philosophical counselling and it is also connected with and related to Existential Therapy , which has thrived in the United Kingdom since the establishment of the Society for Existential Analysis SEA in 1988 in London. This was based on the work of Emmy van Deurzen , also a philosopher who has applied philosophical thinking to the practice of psychotherapy. Philosophical Consultancy is often applied to business consultancy as well as to work with individuals, since it frequently involves a rethinking of values and beliefs and is also a method for the rational resolution of conflicts.
