Do you think that Heidegger provided additional development of the ideas of Kant and Hegel? More specifically, did he simply add to what they said or ...

Then of course there is the argument that physicalism is itself a form of dualism.

I dont disagree. My point is just that we need different empirical accounts to explain different phenomena. A quantum account of consciousness wouldn’...

You’re thinking idealism, I’m thinking phenomenology. Constructs aren’t ‘all in the mind’ , they are products of mind-world interaction. Our construct...

You’re right. The brain-mind don’t dominate. It’s brain-mind-body and environment together. They cannot be separated except artificially.

This would be of interest mainly to physicists. My impression is that for most psychologists a quantum theory of consciousness would be almost useless...

The mind and the brain are also the result of artificial constructs. It’s not a question of getting beyond our constructs, but of deciding which ones ...

I do see a strong affinity between Scheler and Merleau-Ponty, but not with Heidegger.

Interesting. I’m less familiar with Scheler’s approach to perception than with Husserl. But there’s a lot of interest these days among psychologists i...

But notice that in each case there was a prior context of interest and relevance that made it possible for a sense to break through into consciousness...

Modern phenomenology began with Husserl around 1900. While it is indebted to Kant’s phenomenology , it functions as a critique of Kant. For Husserl, B...

Is the empirical physical description really the most primary one from a philosophical point of view, or is it just one of may possible derived produc...

One could argue from a phenomenological point of view that the cup is a cultural object. It loses its sense when we take away its socially assigned us...

I agree with everything you said , but it doesn’t sound like Cartesian trigger-puppets would accept that empirical facts are dependent on and a produc...

I think I misread your position as a postmodern form of subjectivity. For postmodern and phenomenological positions , it is incoherent to talk about t...

What is the relationship between subjectivity and empirical notions like the physical , neurophysiological facts and adeterministic universe? Are empi...

I just want to add that Marx and Freud tend to be treated in a much narrow context in the U.S. than in Europe. Here the focus is typically on applied ...

How are these grounded? In some idealist a priori? Are you appealing to revelation? As you may know, Husserl didn’t consider epistemic justification t...

That was the theme of ‘The Big Chill’. But the premise was kind of silly, because they were all just followers of fashion to begin with. One could arg...

I think that’s true of my favorite pop composers. But the issue isn’t just how much more you know now that 30 years ago, it’s how much younger generat...

The ‘some people’ that I respect are among the the most notable philosophers ( and psychologists) of the past 100 years, and they find Marx to be a se...

I’ve always found it interesting that the movers and shakers of the social revolution of the ‘60’s were not baby boomers( Jane Fonda, Allen Ginsberg, ...

Otoh, it is a truism in mathematics and physics that if you havent produced anything groundbreaking by the time you’re 30 you never will. Pop music se...

Do you know of a philosopher who didn’t borrow from others? You were just involved in thread where you justified linking psychological research with p...

What else is there except causal explanations? Of course, one can speak of different kinds of causation. Husserl grounded material causation in the mo...

Youre missing the point. Marx is just one among a long list of philosophers and psychologists after Hegel who put Enlightenment liberalism under criti...

Oh. Sounded like a worry.

It sounds like your view of what science does is based on the ideas of one of those philoaophers who have been dead for 200 years

I wouldn’t worry. In 50 years today’s left wing will be the moderate center.

A more important question is how many believe that everything cutting edge in science has already been produced by people that have been dead for ages...

[reply="ssu;530659" I don’t know anyone who is post-everything, but I do see intellectualideas in developmental terms , so any particular philosophy c...

Don’t forget the post -Marxists. That would include fans of William James, Sartre, Derrida, Heidegger, social constructionism , deconstruction , pheno...

Norms are inculcated , but every one of us interprets those norms in slightly different ways in relation to our own outlook. We never simply , blindly...

The system is built from experience. No event ever duplicates a previous event , so the system is always adapting and accommodating itself to the nove...

I hold to a different approach to psychology that one that sees behavior as innate or acquired. One could say that it is both at the same time, or nei...

I understand that you don’t see political perspectives and moral systems this way, but just as a hypothetical , what if instead of connecting such com...

I’m not sure I understand how one can authorize violence and condemnation against an other while at the same time considering their perspective and ac...

I’m aware of your influences: Cavell, Zizek, Wittgenstein, Connolly, Deleuze. Every one of them has waxed enthusiastic about certain psychologists. I ...

The meaning of the transcendental , as well as the psychologistic, has undergone substantial change since Kant. Psychologists who follow Merleau-Ponty...

And art is an anti-philosophy and anti-psychology, as is music, literature , poetry and every other mode of human creativity. Each is the anti of the ...

This is also a psychological explanation, albeit one not rooted in personality traits but social conditioning , the idea that individuals unthinkingly...

Yea, but would you agree that the extreme political polarization between right and left in the U.S. is not a function of power, but worldview? That is...

I don’t think the application of psychological models to politics is without merit , but it depends which ones. What you’re citing here, trait and bir...

I agree that side A can never have a ‘true picture’ of side B. But I begin from the belief that , at least in the U.S., side A and B inhabit different...

I can buy that

Let me see if I understand this. Are you making a distinction between being aware of the other side’s argument,and understanding that argument in the ...

I would think if anyone would realize this, you would. Postmodern psychologies study the ‘mind’, that is , the psychologically embodied , ecologically...

I think it’s time

He recognized issues like birth, death, unconsciousness and sleep as problems for the theory but I think he argues that since the transcendentally red...

For Husserl, an intentional object, understood most primordial, is simply a ‘sense’. A mental rumination would certainly qualify as sense.
