Whehther you are right or wrong is entirely relative to your own interpretation of the world for your purposes and whether your moral hypotheses conti...
Make sure you understand what you are embracing in embracing Nietzsche’s ‘view’ , because it is less a ‘view’ that it is a description of change and b...
Simple, one can argue that from one’s own perspective one set of beliefs is preferable to another , without assuming that this perspective must be sho...
“ My demand upon the philosopher is known, that he take his stand beyond good and evil and leave the illusion of moral judgment beneath himself. This ...
In reading your current op as well as previous threads, I notice that, while you reference writers like Jackson, Block and Chalmers , there seems to b...
If we shouldnt look to philosophy for deep insights then we shouldnt look to religion or art either. First of all, it’s impossible to tease out where ...
I take transcendence the way that Heidegger and Husserl do, not as a divine beyond this world but as an otherness immanent in being in the world. But ...
This is my suggested route to transcending dualistic tendencies: Rather than distinguishing between what ‘is’ and what ‘ought to be’, recognize with P...
But there is no “problem of one’s whole being” as something outside of heedful circumspective relationality with one’s world for Heidegger , or a ‘who...
This is a well articulated description of a dualist-based model of moral reasoning, replete with a separation of the affective-hedonic, the cognitive-...
But even during the breakdown of the hammering, the being drawn to the broken hammer still belongs to and gets its sense from the totality of relevanc...
“The concern with grammatical propositions was central to Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathematics because he wanted to show that the 'inexorability' ...
Even if lucid dreaming may an exception , I like your idea that to know you’re in a particular state of mind requires a second order reflection from t...
Except I suppose in the case of lucid dreaming , where one supposedly is aware that one is dreaming. Webmd: “ Lucid dreams are when you know that you'...
But Heidegger would never say that the ‘I’ stands apart from the thought , and neither would Husserl, so your transcendental ego is not the ego of phe...
I in turn could direct you to Rorty for an excellent critique of Davidson, starting here: https://youtu.be/e6PitPJiN5c I think Davidson wants to hold ...
Not according to Kuhn or cultural theories of science. You may change the theory ‘to march what you see in the world, but what you see i the world is ...
Sounds like a truism. Kind of like being socialized to believe that pain is unpleasant. You might say ‘of course I believe MY pain is unpleasant , but...
My first observation is that qualia is only useful for certain philosophers, but it seems to me that for those philosophers most closely involved in t...
I was only agreeing that all supposed shared ’we’ experiences conceal a gap between my experience ce and your experience. I did t mean to suggest that...
I agree you don’t know how it looks to me, but if we are talking about the usefulness of the concept of qualia, the relevant question here is whether ...
Yes, and I’m sure I could spell the word ‘book’ when asked, but that doesn’t tell us very much about what the word means for me, how I’m using it, whe...
Yes, but perception is itself a kind of ‘private’ language game. That is to say , what you want to call the felt sensation of red is not a stable prim...
He would have had a problem with the concept of plural qualia too. You’re right that for Merleau-Ponty what counts in perception is differences and re...
I just finished Ray Monk’s biography of Wittgenstein, which did much to clarify my reading of his Philosophical Investigations. Maybe someone on this ...
I think it fucks. But it doesnt do any embodied fucking. Heidegger’s only elaboration of the role of the body was in the zollikon seminars, where he t...
I like your comparisons between Witt and Heidi. Maybe you could explain this last point a bit better. I assume by ‘phenomenology based on a bodiless a...
For Heidegger the ontic-ontological difference is not the Kantian difference between things in themselves and my presentation of them, which it sounds...
Put another way, both Witt and Heidegger thought traditional philosophy failed to understand meaning as emerging out of contexts of social engagement ...
This sounds like you may be understanding care in a conventional sense. Tell me how you understand Heidegger’s notion of care in relation to his conce...
I think that, instead, established or normative use is just an abstraction from individual ‘deviations’(interpretations). This is what Heidegger is ar...
What would Witt make of Heidegger’s treating language interchange as idle talk and das man, as impoverished forms of Being’s self-understanding? Why d...
Although I have to admit Witt’s profound but conventional religiosity through the 1930’s influences my reading of his work, and I contrast it with Hei...
Welll, you sure told me. Although I don’t know what you told me. It was more like a drive-by refuting. I know you want to get in on this. I can tell. ...
Thanks for reading it. I kind of hate to use the term ‘subjective’ to describe what I’m after, and what Heidegger was after. I don’t see that there’s ...
Hopefully this link may give you a feel for how an increasing number of researchers on cognition and emotion are benefitting from Heidegger. https://w...
I know that there are many , often opposed readings of Witt. An example of what I would call a conservative reading is that of Peter Hacker. At the ot...
I said , AMONG the first. I would not include Spinoza, Hume or Schopenhauer among this group. They maintain a clear separation between what they call ...
I agree that this would be his argument. My response is that every moment my experience is public in the sense that it is exposed to an outside that c...
Couldnt you humor me and say it’s ‘differently guided’? Would probably be helpful if you elaborated on why it’s misguided, although I know the rhetori...
Exactly. No subjectivity for Witt, and what’s the only alternative he offers? The structure of publicness. joint engagement , rule following , languag...
A big part of the increased interest in him is coming from theorists in cognition and emotion, who find his analysis of affect indispensable. Heidegge...
Yes, this is a common criticism of Heidegger. For instance, Shaun Gallagher writes: “ In Heidegger, and in thinkers who follow his line of thought, we...
Sartre’s master work, Being and Nothingness, would not even exist without Heidegger’s writing. It’s a second rate misinterpretation. of Being and Time...
I agree that a philosopher’s ideas and personal choices inother aspects of their lives are intimately connected. For that reason you won’t have the sl...
