But Moliere will probably still get the notification, because he posted the post identified by the number.

That’s right, the numeric code after the semicolon points back to the post.

It jumps back to the top of the post but not to a point within the post, unless there is a special way of implementing anchor links that I’m not aware...

Good questions. The idea of constellations will be important.

I was the one who deleted your post; it was rubbish. Be cool or get lost.

Rein.

Your post strikes me as perspicacious.

I forgive you, mainly because you used "purblind".

It doesn't. It starts by stating the conclusion that will be argued for in the main body of the essay. The argument hasn't been presented yet, so ther...

Is that malicious culture-war trolling?

Fair enough. I just meant something like not fictional or not imaginary, in other words not purely conceptual. This has to be emphasized because Adorn...

The way I'm using "objective," it does not mean "mind-independent," or pertaining only to what is not dependent on a subject. It means it's not just a...

Ultimately, I have nothing against making the situation clear in the rules next time.

Yes, I agree. What we need in future is to establish how much people want to be able to publish their TPF work elsewhere. Perhaps some people are unaw...

Feedspot is a blog reader and content aggregator and is thus nothing new and nothing to worry about in particular. TPF is a website, by default all po...

Introduction: dialectics not a standpoint The first paragraph stands up for (a kind of) dialectics and leads towards the first introduction of the con...

I don't know if the potential publishers of philosophical essays apply the same exclusivity criteria as many of the fiction magazines do. From my very...

Nothing has changed, except that @"hypericin" wanted to share essays with non-members. I made the symposium viewable only by members because I wanted ...

Sitting on stools around a barrel is a great pleasure. :up:

Good, except I don't think the “power” and “hegemony” that philosophies of Spirit are directed towards or against refer to the technicians per se. Tec...

:up:

@"Moliere" @"hypericin" @"Baden" I have made the essays public, as promised. Although @"Baden" and @"Amity" were against it, they did not give any rea...

ND Introduction: on the possibility of philosophy This first paragraph is basically lecture 5 in an extremely condensed form: (a) the failure of the p...

@"hypericin" Ok, if in 12 hours nobody has given a reason why the essays shouldn't be made public, I'll make them public. How's that?

@"hypericin" @"Moliere" I'm removing the custom permissions for the essay category, which will put things back to how they were before I made the mist...

When I made them public I made them viewable by guests but forgot I had to explicitly make them viewable by members too.

As requested by @"hypericin", I made the essays viewable to guests and search engines, just like most other posts and discussions. If any participants...

Can you see the essays now?

Done

Yes, that makes sense to me :up: He is fond of using the "cards on the table" metaphor, I think because he is aware how insistent the demand for initi...

Very creative, MU. We'll see how each of our interpretations survives the onslaught of ND itself.

Ok :up:

No, please come up with your own arguments.

Ah, I see. It would have been deleted for containing very little of your own argument—mainly it was just content produced by ChatGPT. So I've deleted ...

ND Prologue The first paragraph is the familiar rejection of the tradition of affirmation in dialectics stretching all the way from Plato to Hegel. Th...

I enjoyed your video, although unfortunately I did not understand more than a few words. What I enjoyed was the pleasant surroundings, the relaxed atm...

I question this assumption that if a distinction is real, it must be fixed and immune to reinterpretation. That’s just one of those rigid frameworks w...

Do you mean this one?: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/15835/democracy-and-military-success The last post was 3 months ago, so it’s on page ...

I think the “such” refers to the “philosophical concepts” just mentioned. So my version is as follows: “Since Hegel attempted to do the impossible, na...

Then we'll have to carry on disagreeing. Adorno believes there are beliefs and ways of thinking that obscure underlying social relations, and uses app...

It's crazy to me that people never read prefaces. There are cases where I don't, when I read the preface afterwards, but I don't skip them completely ...

Wow.

On the other hand, at least for me, I can't remember much about my post-childhood life unless I replay it, talk about it, think about it repeatedly. O...

Hey, I'm not finished yet! You think you can get the last word so easily? No such luck, sonny boy. I'll be back.

Excellent work! It shares concerns with a recent discussion in the Negative Dialectics reading group, about Adorno's claim that human beings were "bec...

Well, I don't really know what you're on about. Have a look back at my original response, where I mentioned spandrels. I was attempting to take your q...

There will be discussions in those threads, and you won't be able to see them. They cover a wide range of philosophical areas so you could just preten...

The reason you are struggling is that you have an expansive, wishywashy idea of utility. Oscar meant it in terms of sheer practicality, whereby a beau...

Go to the category, "Phil. writing challenge - June 2025", scroll to the bottom, click on the eye. I urge you not to do it though, because I think tho...

All right, replace value with meaning and see what you think of that.
