In the past in places such as Greece, there were philosophers and scholars like Socrates, Plato, etc. Do we have any modern-day philosophers whose works are as highly regarded as the ancient ones? And were the works of the ancient philosophers, when they were alive, not regarded as highly as they are now?

I understand points as entities with zero extension. (Is this correct?) Yet infinitely many points are said to compose space. It seems like even infinitely many zeros could never add up to a finite non-zero value. So, what's up with points? If they don't have any extension, what are they? As a follow up, does it make sense to think about points in space in a different way from how we think about points in time?

Was Jesus a philosopher?

During my day to day affairs, I work to prevent families from becoming homeless. At the same time, I have the feeling that in the context of our economic and social systems we are merely keeping people afloat and, by doing so, removing the political pressure which may result in broader change that may have a more lasting impact. Is it then ethical to continue with my endeavors?

Does trying to prove the God exists undermine religion in that if successful, it removes the need for faith?

Hi, I really don't like the sex toys my girlfriend uses, I believe I can offer her as much as she desires, and I like to put all those plastic sex toys in the trash can, but she objects. Once I mentioned "This area belongs to me, no trespassing whatsoever by plastic competitors!", and her response made me confused: "This area belongs to me, and I don't like to talk about it anymore." (I am not a bossy person who believes he owns his girlfriend - friends consider me a very gentle person.) So, do I have any right to a claim like that? :)

When people speak of "morality", why does it always stem from a divine being? Why can't morality stem from reason?

How do you know that philosophers have the answer?

Can there be an event that is entirely random?

Psychology is advancing at a rapid rate and it's providing us with answers that were previously unthought of. Who we are and why we act the way we do is all being deciphered in a scientific and irrefutable way. In light of this change in the human attempt to understand itself, why should people continue to waste their energies in the non-empirical and unscientific approach known as philosophy?
