Do you get the sense that some of the more strident critics of Israel on this thread are using the Palestinians more as symbolic props than as real pe...
I think cognition and perception are normatively , anticipatingly structured . We perceive the world in relation to what we expect to see, which is wh...
Perhaps things are only there in an interaction between subject and object pole. More specifically , perhaps what is there directly for us isn’t a thi...
Intersubjectivity is quite a going research concern in psychology and philosophy. It has to do with trying to make sense of the differences between ‘I...

The foundation of politics is philosophy, also the name of this site, and I’ve heard nothing about it from you so far. As far as being beyond good and...
This is ostensibly a philosophy site. I’m aware that political philosophy and straight out political fights are also a part of what goes on here. I te...
You say it’s unambiguous and I say it’s ambiguous. How ever are we to get to the bottom of this? Perhaps by actually having a discussion about it? No,...
You have to excuse me. I’ll need to know the secret handshake before I can join the authentic political radical’s club, where self-righteousness flows...
It really does? It really really truly does?Indubitably and forever more ? Are you sure? Will you send me a candy bar if you’re wrong? Can I guess whi...

They wouldn’t have expected them to give up and leave if they knew how to get along with them. The Israelis didn’t expect or want the tremendous diver...
There were atrocities on both sides , which I think resulted from profound cultural differences and distrusts. Heres an interesting discussion on the ...
It’s painful for me to read this. I’m not saying I completely disagree with it, but something is missing from the historical context. My father’s pare...
I get the impression you’re not happy with any existing state. That’s a dangerous place to be in from an emotional health point of view. If you’re not...
You sound so naive. It’s not. a question of being ok, but of how groups respond to the rhetoric of the opposing side. It’s thing to commit an action o...
What are you , some kind of utopian idealist? I don’t know that Israel’s form of democracy is that much different than what U.S. democracy started off...
So one side threatens and the other side , the one with the power, accomplishes. I lived in Israel for a year. I don’t think it’s possible for a state...
As I recall, rhetoric concerned with annihilating a population, or ‘driving them into the sea’, has been heard for years from certain non-Jewish quart...
Interesting read. I notice there is brief mention of a handful of philosophers. I mention this because whenever a philosopher offers a hermetically se...
That’s the interesting thing about attention.It’s not just a neutral beam of light with a certain capacity to illuminate. Attention is an active inter...
There is a tendency in psychological theorizing to reduce emotion and attitude to some sort of extraneous coloration or content that is added onto exp...
Children can also be relentlessly , impossibly bored. I have never been so bored as an adult as I was as a child. I think that’s no coincidence. Diffe...
Everything we experience has value. We are sense-making creatures so what we experience matters to us in some way, whether it is boring or interesting...
Yes, but is this subjective experience not at the same time an objective experience? What I mean is this: I can think of myself in relation or opposit...
Doesn’t this destroy the subjectivity of consciousness, the very essence of awareness? From cognitive science there are suggestions for a ‘mutual enli...
The only way to effectively challenge CRT is to either show how it deviates from valuable ideas in Critical theory, or critique the foundational ideas...
Are you familiar with any of the writings in Critical theory of Continental authors like Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse or Habermas? I’m wondering if you...

I’m not sure what you mean by a pure idealist. You mean like Berkeley? Is Kant a pure idealist in your view? At any rate, Heidegger isnt saying that t...
I’m not sure if ‘recognizing experience as an issue’ is a thing. That is , some special capacity of thought above and beyond good old fashion reflecti...
If it truly is a linear progression then, yes, it makes sense to describe science as in the ‘solving’ business. But as far as I can see , with a linea...

There has been a fair amount of work in recent years on what has been called a pre-reflective form of minimal self-awareness. Dan Zahavi has made this...
I didn’t mean that you contradicted yourself. I meant that your position may contradict an enactivist or postmodern account of subjectivity. I’m not s...
The understanding of philosophy or science that believes that either of them are in the business of ‘solving ‘ problems’ is a problem for me. Solution...
You just gave a good description of science, which claims to ‘solve’ a problem and then refashions itself over and over to ‘solve’ again. Except the s...
Except that the op could just as well have been ‘Can someone name a single solved scientific problem?’. Converting natural philosophy into physics did...
Yes, I think there is. Your model maintains a fact-value distinction that can’t justify itself, according to analytically trained philosophers like Qu...
