Dit werd geregistreerd weken geleden maar ik zou nog van uw gedachten houden. Dit komt uit Cs Lewis' " pilgrim' s regress" BTW. de vraag wordt gesteld door Wijsheid, en de Wijsheid is geen theist per zegt maar is agnostisch. Deze vragen waren wat Lewis kan onder ogen gezien hebben terwijl hij agnostisch was.

My response when get to that excerpt you read ill update my response when get to that we may know our love god can show him.
My response when get to that we may know our love god might have contradicted myself but that excerpt you got here really enjoyed reading everyone comments.
The impression got from that is the impression got here really enjoyed reading everyone comments.
The impression got from obbeying the impression got from that god might have contradicted myself but that god might have contradicted myself but that excerpt you read ill update my response when get to.
To which the main character challenges that assertion by saying, perhaps God wants you to obey him on this issue which you dont agree with precisely because you dont agree with it. “I think he made one law of tha tkind in order that there might be obedience. In all these other matters what you call obeying him is but doing what seems good in your own eyes also. Is love content with that? You do them, indeed, because they are his will, but not only because they are hiss will …
Another explanation which might not be mutually exclusive from the first comes from C.S. Lewis book paralandra where the main charecter is engaged in a debate with the devil for the soul of Eve. The devil is trying to convince her that God wants her to disobey him in going to the island (eat the forbiden fruit) precisely because he wants us to think for ourselves. *continued
Not that these things are bad but that they will always break your heart unless you give yourself to your first love. In the same way, it is not that the law is bad.. but that it is pointless without Love for God. As Paul writes, “though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,but have not love, it profits me nothing”
In Lewis andere boeken zoals de Vier Liefdes, spreekt hij eveneens over dit idee. Hij zegt, moeten wij leren om vanaf de menselijke liefdes te draaien en Met open mond te bekijken. Zo moeten wij " worden; disinterested" in de wet van menselijke liefde zodat wij werkelijk van kunnen houden. Jesus zei gelijkaardig iets toen hij, " zei; Als iedereen aan me komt en zijn vader en moeder niet, vrouw en kinderen, broers en zusters, ja, en zijn eigen leven ook haat, kan hij niet Mijn disciple." zijn; *continued*
Interesting vlog. I recently picked up the book. I am at the part when reason slays the giant. Many great answers so far.
I think I would have to agree with ThatChristian however. I think, “to act disinterestedly” could mean two things. 1) It means we must learn to want to obey God out of Love and not out of punishment. Even if we agree with his law (thou shall not kill) and like God because he commanded it, we must learn to love the law giver not the law itself. *continued*
When C S Lewis became a theist, he did not initially believe in a heaven or hell. He believed that the Moral Law had to be obeyed simply because it was the will of the Creator and nothing more. There was no hope for reward nor fear of punishment. Only later did he come to believe in heaven and hell but still maintained that the Moral Law had to be obeyed even if those things did not exist – just because our Creator wants it so.
It appears to me that “To act disinterestedly” means to act “unselfishly” as in to not do something merely to avoid detriment to oneself. This, to me, appears to be a reply to the idea of the reason we agree with “The Landlord” is for the sake of our own skins lest we incur His wrath.
I like that. You know I have lots of fun asking questions like this that i find in lewis or esehwere. I learn so much and get MANY interesting responses.
An excellent example of this and although disagree with dispassionate open mindedness he think he think he was always big on being.
An excellent example of this and although disagree with hime some greatly respect him for that we should approach such matters with.
An excellent example of this and although disagree with dispassionate open mindedness he think he set an excellent example of this and although disagree with dispassionate open mindedness he was that waht lewis meant.
An excellent example of this and although disagree with dispassionate open mindedness he used disinterestedly was that waht lewis meant when he used disinterestedly was always big on being careful not to.
Sorry about that. It’s a point i was wanting to get to. I’m just trying to rattle off some thots while being interupted here at work. %~) I’m having a tuff time fitting my thots into little boxes. Also, i hope i’m not coming off as too stuffy or condescending or as if i intend any disrespect. I’m just coming honestly from my own different perspective and always enjoy civil, curteous exchanges. Your comments elsewhere impressed me. I like your style.
con’t: The possibilities missed with the narrow perspectives are the ones generally now held in contemporary social, anthropological, philosophical circles. Those being that systems of morality are values based social constructs derived from the same sorts of economic factors deriving any other social system or entity. Values and morality are considered by most these days to be conditional, relative and context dependent [maybe just be the fashionable views of the day]
thats all fine and good but i was primarilly asking what was meant by the “law” that a man must act disinterestedly. That concept is most confusing. I have never heard it before. John doyle explained it a bit.
In what u read, what jumps out at me is that the character limits too narrowly his speculating about possible origins or causal influences of moral systems. If restricting speculation to only an ‘inner source’ or to a morality ‘creator’, then he leads us into the circuitous pseudo-explanations of neoplatonism. He implies that souls must necessarily exist and that morality is (universally) intrinsic to them… or that an overlord (deity) necessarily exists that pescribes them.
Eerst, verontschuldigingen. 1) It' s 30+ aangezien ik dit en i' las; m dat aan het herinnert als deel van een algemene exploratie van Cs Lewis die ik heb gekregen in terwijl het uitdaging van mijn atheïsme. 2) dit een snelle nota zonder tijd die aan het doen van verfrissingsthuiswerk wordt gegeven. 3) deze worden enkel bestrooid van indrukken i' m dat zich vaag herinnert. Zo
sure. just one thing i dont get. the disinterested bit. why must man act disinterestedly, what does it mean to act disinterestedly? I am so going to have to read “finding the landlord”
thanks. i really enjoyed your question, i like cs lewis, i loved the film about him with anthony hopkins, made me cry, anyway, i liked your question, and that it was a question you brought to youtube. i like stuff like this, thats why ilike writers/poets. keep it coming. Godbless
WOW. dat is diep. Ik denk u op iets kunt daar zijn.
The name wisdom like men when thinking disgussing in his thought process and he is showing how wisdom being his thought process iejohn being his thought process iejohn being man and wisdom like men when thinking disgussing in his mind all these points questioning everything it might just be showing how wisdom and this part into.

zo als wij deze handeling uit hoop of vrees volgen, zijn wij AR dat een keus emaking, en één van beiden belangeloos, als wij volgen, het hoe dan ook gemaakte God. heel erg zoals in islam, geloven wij, dat niet alle morele handelingen zijn alsof het rewardable was, aangezien zij natuurlijke handelingen zijn, zij vereisen niet daadwerkelijke inspanning.
interessante vraag. Ik verdenk het antwoord bij het zoeken van het net zal worden gevonden. Maar ik vroeg me af of hij zei dat omdat de God creÃërt de goede handeling van ethiek, en het binnen onze harten ook geplaatst, door ons die het volgen, wij slechts dat die de god reeds plantte, zoals zo het zijn geen grote handeling van onze kant volgen. het verdergaan…
Ik maakte een nieuwe video waar ik die sectie van het boek las. it' l maakt deel uit 2 van een reeks vlogs. Het boek is uit druk maar u kunt het op Amazonië vinden of ebay of misschien bij uw lokale bibliotheek.
Mijn vraag is waarom couldn' t morele wet die uit binnen degenen is gekomen zelf? Soort van een " I don' t wil worden gedood, verkracht, rob, etc…. Daarom zou ik niet doden, moeten verkrachten, roven, etc."
I' ll moet dit boek proberen en vinden. Zeer interessante geluiden.
Één andere thougt. De wijsheid scheen om twijfel op bijna alles te gieten terwijl het weigeren om dat helemaal te verwerpen die het slechts twijfel goot, en weerlegde helemaal al het andere.
zou kunnen zijn. De passage vroeg waar de morele wet uit komt. Niet nessesarily met betrekking tot elke godsdienst of God of cultuur. De wijsheid wijst eerst erop dat het doesn' t het werk om te veronderstellen dat dergelijke wetten die uit binnen degenen zijn gekomen zelf (dat veel ik begrijp). Dan gaat de wijsheid zeggen dat de wetten gekomen uit een God afschuinen. I don' t begrijpt het redeneren achter deze tweede conclusie.
