We do live in different individual worlds. Yet we tend to be very similar to each other within our respective discursive worlds (intraculturally), con...
I think you highlight here how the process of commodification neutralises the effectiveness of self-development by appropriating it under its rubric, ...
Yes, I read this today, which gets as far as the repertory grid concept and then substanitally ends as a useful resource, being followed by a bunch of...
@"Caldwell" Just a quick note because your point re metaphysics remains interesting, especially in light of some recent reading I've been doing: To so...
Sure, and that may be characterized as an elitist attitude, but as long as we maintain any notion of objective values (as you clearly do) such that we...
I don't see anything in Kelly's theory to suggest this type of influence doesn't obtain at least to some degree (and I don't think any major theorist ...
Though I will strenuously deny cartesianism if ever accused of it, I will gladly join forces with the cartesians in common ideological combat against ...
Not at all. Judge them by what they do, not what they say! It seems your behaviour towards the types of media I've criticized is almost exaxtly the sa...
What would be funny is if we close Shoutbox 2 and then someone opens a feedback discussion demanding it be reopened. Et voila, we have Shoutbox 3. Thi...
The rate of rate of increase of Shoutbox 2 posting vs Shoutbox 1 posting is now exponential such that Shoutbox 2 will overtake Shoutbox 1 in number of...
There is a difference of nomenclature and of emphasis, but is there necessarily an unresolvable clash? Kelly seems to conceive of roles similarly to h...

I think we’re on the same page. As you pointed out, I stick to the discourse of the social sciences; part of my self-identification places my thought ...

You are at the mercy of the subjective judgements of the mod team, both individually and collectively, re low quality. We don't require your individua...
Briefly, any manner of scientific approach is better than pure assertion but I wouldn't expect that to yield an uncontentious result in a general sens...
We had a Shoutbox dark age when all lounge discussions were removed from the front page. @"SittinWSocratesTiff" and @"Shawn" wee instrumental in convi...
My personal opinion is if we've started to go backwards, it's very recently. I don't hold any particularly romantic notions about the dark ages. At th...
This is part of the reason I think you are misunderstanding my position, I originally defined identities in terms of roles in the OP. You talk as if I...
I demand a more significant place in the myth building. It were me and Hanover who originally battled against the evil Pharaoh Porat, leading the firs...
I could have told you where this gaff was straight off, mate, seeing as it was set up before old PF finally collapsed. But you probably like wandering...
It's definitely a difficult and potentially contentious question, but part of my point here is not that there were ever any good old days but that we ...
