Read now. So intuitively I was reaching for something like your first link which explicitly uses "impairments" to mean the bodily reality while "disab...
One way to differentiate between the medical and the social is to first set out what the medical model entails. Roughly speaking: the medical model en...
In making the distinction between disability and impairment I'm putting the social construct on the side of disability, and the body/mind on the side ...
I do. Part of the reason I love Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus is because I've found it soothing to read when I'm at my darkest. It's not so much the arg...
Though then I think against that thought, as I do -- there is also the case of a person would rather not be such-and-such, in which case impairment mi...
I haven't read the links yet, but to answer: I was thinking of your example of the warriors who were treated the same while being impaired and attempt...
Perhaps you cannot -- but I'm thinking here of synesthesia. I can't taste colors, but some people can. Might it not be the case, along with "timbre/to...
I'm wondering if a distinction between impairments/disability might help here? A person who needs a wheelchair cannot dance like a person who does not...
Well, it's not my belief but rather me interpreting others' stances and trying to put them into words. (I'd rather say -- from each according to their...
So going along with this question -- I'm suggesting that "disability" is largely a social construct based around socially enforced expectations of wha...
Yeah, that's what I meant. EDIT: Yes to your question. I meant "downswing" -- I was thinking of the metaphor that depression comes in waves, so "dive"...
I'm sorry to hear. I often wonder if I could go through another deep dive these days since it's been so long. I'm not sure where to go from there -- t...
No. Though we can still have a norm that functions socially like this. Nor mind, for that matter, which I'd include with "the body" in terms of the me...
It was Mary Midgley, and here's @"Banno"'s thread on it: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/11175/philosophical-plumbing-mary-midgley/p1 I take...
I think the world, in general, is pretty bad overall. I'm not so sure about "worse" as much as I've become more knowledgeable about how the world work...
Close. There is always the tragic backstory which justifies the hitting :D And the tale of overcoming something or other depending on the hero. . . Th...
Nice. I've ordered Turkish coffee before and thought it amazing (also had some Vietnamese coffee that was similar). I like the press a lot tho. For wh...
It's a heavy watch, but I remained engaged the entire length of the film. Great acting and writing. There's a scene where they watch actual footage of...
Yup. That much is good to note, I think, because it shows how Aristotle isn't the arbiter of metaphysics, but rather the term was developed over time ...
So @"Wayfarer" is not committing the genetic fallacy by referencing Aristotle. I understand that instinct, but to reject Aristotle on the subject whil...
It's simple until it is not simple :D I think it's not so easy to define, but I agree with your assertion that metaphysics is about the nature of real...
He is engaging and really funny, though I have to note that his history is almost more of a joke book than a proper history of philosophy. It says tru...
Oh yes much more can be said on each of the sections. I sort of jumped ahead because the text started to flow, but in that way where I'm just seeing o...
Well, not today at least. There are times... I'm interested in that too. And in helping people to understand the philosophy generally. I had mistaken ...
Whether the rendition is correct: I know more needs to be said, which is why I began with the tripartite theory of desire, but the down-and-dirty vers...
Sure, makes sense. Though I'd put it that this was the man speaking more than the philosophy -- yes, Epicurus the man cautioned against it. But the Ep...
Is the part that made me think so, along with the other two examples you meant to counter @"180 Proof"'s summary with. It occurs to me that we may jus...
I do not think that scholarly reference is erroneous. That's why I said: Yes, there's a kind of love Epicurus cautions against. No, that does not mean...
Not really -- I'm giving an exposition of what I think a reasonable Epicurean response to your example. As in Epicurus wouldn't say "Do not marry", bu...
I'm willing to play the apologist in order to increase understanding. Sure. The outline of desire to which @"180 Proof" wrote needs further specificat...
I want to mark a distinction here: @"180 Proof"'s description of the good/bad pleasures is accurate to Epicureanism is what I mean -- as in, descripti...
I thought his summation good enough, basically -- in a rough and dirty way, sure that's what the bad pleasures are, and the good pleasure is ataraxia ...
That's not quite right. Something that's difficult to understand with ancient ethics is we have a tendency to want to classify an act as good or bad, ...
Nice exposition of Heidegger's relevance to this text. And making sense of why Adorno is tying the question to the answer: i.e. one could assert that ...
