Thanks for your explanation on Kant. "Why is Rand not a philosopher? Because she is too shallow. That is the short answer. I may try a longer one later......" You might be right about Rand but I don't think being shallow disbars one from being being a philosopher. "First, that we have free- will, despite the apparent iron law of causality among phenomena, so that we can hold people accountable." This is good "Next, since we see that vice often prospers and virtue is sometimes trampled in this life, we believe in immortality, to permit a final reckoning beyond this life." This is bad or at least passes the buck and does not make sense. I suppose in one way it is all most people get in life and should perhaps be encouraged. Should they not get justice in this life they don't run amok, after they're dead the great G-d will meet out punishment to the wicked that tormented them during their physical existence. Justice delayed is justice denied...
