Saw a movie last night that I thought was interesting. It's called Love in
Thoughts. It's a true story, set in Germany in about the 1920's. What made it
interesting is that it's a true story at the same time that it almost embodied
dialog right out of a Russian novel of the 19th century, but not nihilism. At
the same time, sort of taking DeCartes' rejection of the body and inverting it
saying that if it doesn't exist in experience, it doesn't count. An
interesting movie, worth the effort, especially so because it's a true story.
Anybody have any idea if there is a philosophical underpinning to the religious
idea that if one sins in one's thoughts therefore one has sinned?
