Heh. While the reading material became more interesting, I have to say halfway through that makes the conversation less about the text. But that's not...
:D I agree. There's been a lot of bits like that throughout, for me -- where there's been a slog, but then there's something that finally clicks, and ...
Page 350 before class started today. Glad to hear some of the comments up front about how this section is when we hit a turning point, because that's ...
I agree there's definitely a direction to M-C-C-M -- I interpret it as the second moment in the process of circulation. The C-M-M-C moment is from the...
Another good Grundrisse quote, p 328/329 -- for thems who believe that workers are strictly factory workers making things: What counts as a commodity ...
This breakdown is really good. Especially with the interweaving of the quotes. I have one but: I thought the first "C" in "M-C-C-M" was the purchase o...
Page 322 -- there are these quotes and times in Marx which crack me up because the arguments he's responding to are old even then, and I hear them tod...
I don't think so. At least, the identification of self with activity, or at least a strict relationship between the two, is a strong part of existenti...
Cool. At some point, though, one finds themself. The deliberative moment is prior to finding oneself. The choices are endless, because one doesn't kno...
True! But as soon as I put words to it I can think of a rebuttal in terms of thinking of which is best :D Even directly -- I was thinking how phenomen...
Phenomenological-existential. Buuut... I think that for my own case, at least, is correct about why I chose it: I like these philosophers. I wonder, t...
I own this one in English. I think I found the paragraph you're talking about. Is it from the last paragraph of Chapter X? If so, maybe that's enough ...
This would account for the difference, too, then. Perhaps many of our fellows here on TPF feel the same? The thought being that each thought should be...
Surely the professional group also engaged in critical thought, though. I'd say, sure, everyone who answered was engaged in critical thought. It's the...
I'd put another spin on the difference. Our community is less homogenous than the professional community, and so it's harder to say the three views pu...
Oh, yes, I forgot to mention -- that your theory between the Grundrisse/Capital forms works! (ala M-C-C-M/M-C-M, etc.)That makes a lot of sense. Thank...
I came across a good passage today that relates pretty directly. Honestly, this section is proving to be a lot easier than the previous ones. And his ...
Well... to be fair he's more cheerful in the sexy murder poet way. (Liam Kofi Bright's Two Tendencies linked: it answers the question why "we" do phil...
There were two "buts" I had while reading (I'm sticking to my no working on weekends commitment.;) ) I can't tell if we're supposed to be able to deri...
Hrmmm... I think the one thing in your thoughts that makes it difficult for me to connect to is your emphasis on the individual. Mostly because, this ...
Cool. I agree the familiarity of patterns is a factor. I think that's a large part of why I wanted to push against this notion of deliberation! "famil...
The sentence I had in mind was "Humans are existential animals" and that was the part I had meant to disagree with, especially in regards to deliberat...
I remember liking both of them. I even got to see them give talks through the organizations then. For me I think I traveled elsewhere after because my...
I think I'd rather say as a condition of existential ethics one presumes a kind of freedom in talking that way. I wouldn't say that all human beings, ...
Heh, well, we certainly disagree on "rights" then. "Rights", like property, arise out of how we interact with one another, and so are subject to chang...
Cool. I don't mean to say this is all there is to the matter, either, so "a useful way to look" is good enough for me. I would have said there's a dif...
For myself, though I certainly agree that circumstances being what they are justify taking back what's already owed, I tend to think that our property...
Oh, probably. Though you mentioning tomatoes reminds me that sugar tones down acid. (cooking-flavor wise -- idk otherwise!) I always add one spoonful ...
Hrm. I hope not. I was hoping to point to something bigger. Thinking more along the lines of it's no longer theft because we're all OK. Rather than th...
Contrarian-wise, I might say that we already live in both these communities. Overall, however, I prefer a community which doesn't care about small "th...
:nerd: That's because the "fishy" smell is produced by amines, which have a free pair of electrons, and acid (as a proton donor) binds to them so you ...
I believe the different positions cannot be mapped to one another. But I don't think that's lost on the respondents, either. That is one of the reason...
hrmm I have said that philosophy begins in religion, because I think that's where I'd first encountered ideas that I'd still describe as "philosophica...
Non-skeptical realism, here. I answered the question from the perspective of what I believe in my heart of hearts, rather than what I argue. Where my ...
:D Great minds and such. His little snippets after the fact have been quite useful in looking back, so I was glad he gave us one to think through rath...
"Capital is not a simple relation, but a process, in whose various moments it is always capital" -- this makes me think of what you were highlighting ...
:D Page 284... just shy of the mark. Luckily, looking ahead, March 7th is Spring Break/Book Release, so there's a lull for us to catch up in just arou...
Still trying to figure out my schedule. I'm catching up with reading today, like last week. I like your expositions @"fdrake". They are helping me see...
Isn't that the same for the artists? Fair. I'm nowhere near the foundations. I just do my lab job, while thinking my little thoughts. Philosophically ...
Sorry. I'm filling in gaps where I ought to be asking questions. I'll just ask an open one: what is the spectrum between reductionism and holism? Are ...
Yup. The media personalities were actually what made it harder to organize, IMO. I put it in the lounge because I was wishing and pining :D -- there w...
