Can a person imagine doing something while doing the thing imagined? For example, can I imagine touching a key on my keyboard while touching it?

Am I the same person today that I was when I was 2 years old?

I don't believe in any sort of a god, or supreme being, or flying spaghetti monster, and as a consequence I don't have any expectations or fear about what happens after I die. Up till now I've always behaved ethically--in a socially responsible way, more or less--it's been convenient. However, it's more or less a habit, layered on early canalisation of moral training by religious parents. Can you give me a reason for continuing to behave in an ethical fashion? Is there a compelling philosophical reason for being 'good'--assuming I'm not afraid of punishment, or don't expect to get caught?

What makes an object living? Scientists have a number of qualities that an object needs to have to be considered living: Self-replication etc. What qualities do philosophers associate with living objects?

Can we prove anything, or is the best that we can hope to achieve an invitation to compare the plausibility of the premises of an argument with the plausibility of the negation of the conclusion of that argument?

Can you have knowledge that is based on a false belief?

Despite the common perception, is there actually anything really wrong with being hypocritical?

Are people who have more imagination (or who use their imagination more) better people (more moral, cause less suffering, make better choices)? For example, I could argue that: - imagination leads to more empathy for others, more understanding of others points of view, more tolerance - imagination leads to creative solutions to problems (rather than punch the other guy in the face) - imagination allows a person to forsee the potential consequences of actions, and make less destructive choices - imagination stimulates thought, expression, variety, the artistic side of life which feeds the human spirit - imagination improves tolerance of others because a person is more comfortable with novelty and differences I often wonder if a certain kind of person or a specific person had had more imagination, would they have been a better person, or not have done something awful that they did.

The rapid growth of scientific research has resulted in, and is probably also the result of, the impressive solution of successive scientific problems. Do the panelists think that the rapid growth of philosophical research in Universities can be explained correspondingly in terms of impressive solution of philosophical problems? If not, then by what?
