How does that translate into a method for reading philosophers?

What is an example of an objective system? Each philosopher requires a lot of effort to hear what is being said. Is "objectivity" being able to answer...

That is an interesting feature of the supposition. One cannot affirm the existence of a party one will never be invited to by definition. The distance...

That idea has been argued extensively by a fellow traveler of yours here. You should get together for some scenes. Presenting the idea as an establish...

Perhaps you could provide an example. So far, your contempt emits heat but no light.

How about Rousseau as a candidate? There were many competing explanations for what "naturally" formed societies, but he emphasized the idea that somet...

Yes, Proposition 36 is one stop shopping for a view of theism that discards the Covenant, the Christian view of a personal God, and the logic of the S...

The Lost Cause strikes again. I thought we would have different problems by now.

I asked something similar and got this in reply. The apparent appeal to principle only leads to a withdrawal from any boundaries.

Yes, there is a training session at the beginning. The upside to that is the system is easily retained when reading the text.

The Book of Genesis by James D Tabor. Not only an attempt to translate as literally as possible but a system of notation to uncover the details and st...

Your options do not give any space for agnostics. Aristotle, for example, presumed a divine order to establish there was something to learn beyond the...

The Ecosia article is very interesting. The difference between the unconscious not being able to negate the way the 'rational' processes work is food ...

I guess the common ground for the psychology of the child and the dynamic Hegel is describing is that the awareness of isolation comes through recogni...

More to the point, this argument in the amicus brief: does not address Part 600: If there are grounds for striking down Part 600 itself on constitutio...

There is that connection to individual development. The logic of the text can be found in Lacan's Mirror Stage. But Hegel is saying that the 'duplicat...

While the importance of harmony can be confidently ascribed to Pythagoras, many other ideas are on shaky grounds. This SEP article gives a brief accou...

I quoted your words. You have proven that you do not care about them.

You don't defend your previous comments. Why should anyone ask you questions?

Noted. I refer to exact statements made by you and they are not worth defending.

i don't know if you are naive or being completely sophistical.

This is what you said. If you wanted to know what set me off, this is it.

I responded to this:

I was just trying to find out how seriously you meant the remark about race.

No need to apologize. Taking your measure.

I don't know how consciously you were using the sources you cited. I was assuming that you were. I was mostly reacting to cynical amusement about a pl...

It seems like you are asking for an agreement regarding categories before asking about different ideas. For example: Kierkegaard was talking about a d...

I agree. I am not following the podcast so I won't go further in that direction. I will just point to Logic where Hegel says Kant is declaring where o...

What is different about the logic is that Hegel connects it to the process of people living together over time. For instance, the question of what is ...

You can find some fellow travelers here.

On whose part?

You recited a well-established talking point. I am just a person noticing the repetition. I like the pre-loaded ad hominem of your question. Yes, I am...

You have done your part, no need to apologize.

Nice agitprop.

The flipside of that view of living in a particular situation with a limited view of the horizon is that the 'dialectic' starts with the desire of an ...

fuck this place. Nosferatu has been playing it for years to satisfy his pleasure and he just admitted that was the case. He is your bitch. Time to spe...

To whom are you directing this remark?

I live in a place and have lived in places where the result of the game is consequential. You appear to reside in a bunker where all the results are e...

You admitted it yourself. The "I know i am but what are you" is straight from Pee Wee Herman.

He hopes you will do that to further fuck with you. He has accepted that it is just a game for him:

So, no skin in the game. Very funny, in view of all the assumptions you have made about motives. I appreciate the clear answers.

I have thought about this statement for several days and it strikes me as a perfect parody of what some people think. Are you completely cynical and p...

About a quarter way into Life And Fate by Vasily Grossman. I would have to be him to describe what it is like.

Are you suggesting an abuse of power like this:?

Ecce homo.

It is reasonable for them to do so. I measure that against my desire to be a human being as I see fit.

Are you referring to people arguing for some version of the status quo because of particular circumstances?

Is that to be measured against what people might reasonably expect for themselves or some degree of freedom that they have no control over?
