Ahh, but it does have a center. Deleuze’s corpus is loaded with forms, concepts, algorithms, which relate to other forms and patterns. Just because th...
Could you elaborate on that a little more? If I were to define a gestalt , wherein the parts have no existence outside of their relation to the whole ...
We certainly have had enough of that, and that is why Heidegger and Derrida’s notion of temporality does nothing of the sort. Have you read these auth...
I know that Cavell uses this sort of explanation to account for the problematic features of philosophy before Wittgenstein. It makes it sound as thoug...
What do you mean by world? Can world have any useful meaning outside of how the word is used by people relating via language? Also, I had mentioned th...
The same can be said of a more originary basis of ‘power, in temporality. Or to put it in Derrida’s terms: not power but force, and not simply force b...
What institutes the institution, what establishes the establishment? What incorporates the corporation? What embodies the body? What is the irreducibl...
There has to be more to perceived self-relationality of the’I’ than just temporal and spatial continuity. For instance, schizophrenics may experience ...
Sartre misread many forms of philosophy, as Derrida noted. He essentialized the ego , whereas Merleau-Ponty made the self out in the world. As far as ...
There are many versions of phenomenology. The forms of phenomenology that were institutionalized in France were bastardized interpretations , owing mu...
Ah, but there are general pre-suppositions informing the carrying though of the ‘case by case’ even if not explicitly articulated as such. I am using ...
There are two ways that you’re going to perceive me as going off track. The first is the result of the fact that I have read only a little of Austin a...
Your analysis of Ratcliffe’s treatment of some heady psychological topics ( ptsd, severe depression) implies an alternative ‘psychotherapy’. I wonder ...
Do you often make ethical judgments about people based on ‘feeling’ and a profound lack of knowledge of their work? You may be less immune to the sort...
Infused with Romanticism? How so? BTW, I think that essay would be almost impossible to understand without first having read Being and Time. Three of ...
Speaking of Austin and emotion , at the tail end of Ratcliffe’s paper on failures of language that I quoted from, he incorporates Austin in his attemp...
Your method reminds me of the social constructionist Ken Gergen. For? Gergen, we only exist as the kind of ordinary, everyday persons we are, within c...
I’m going to take that as a ‘no’. I sense a gap between the Wittgensteinian approach you are using and the fertile research currently taking place on ...
Whatever ‘Being’ means to you in a philosophical context, I’m betting that it has absolutely nothing to do with Heidegger’s project , but the only way...
Another ‘uncommon’ use is to convince onself that one is using ordinary language to talk about olp, only to find the readers are all over the place in...
Here’s the first page of Heidegger’s magnum opus, Being and Time. “”For manifestly you have long been aware of what you mean when you use the expressi...
Hi, I would like to submit the following papers. They are all drafts. None has been submitted to publishers. https://www.academia.edu/42097007/A_Pheno...
How often in your life , say over the course of a month, a week or even a day, do you feel feelings of guilt, anger, anxiety? These are the social aff...
Of course , properly speaking , the context isnt anywhere, doesn’t exist, until it is experienced in the act of drawing from a background and in the s...
Is a context a kind of frame within which events happen? Do things take place WITHIN a context? Do two people interact within a single context? Can i ...
Maybe I have had these experiences myself but have a way of dipping into them and extracting sayable sense from them, not to analyze or reduce them , ...
As you know , like all languages, English is constantly evolving. One way to see this is by monitoring what new words make their way into dictionaries...
Look up ‘Alva Noe’ or Shaun Gallagher’. Your characterization of such terms as language , perception and information seem to point to a rather outdate...
What made them profound? What did you learn from them, and what made them different from the psychedelic experiences that weren’t as profound( assumin...
If you discover a writer whose worldview seems extraordinary to you , and who has not entered the public consciousness yet, your adoption of his termi...
Sounds like a recipe for mediocrity. I wonder how much of that ‘common stock of words’ would remain if we removed the contributions of writers in innu...
Yes, I think that comes up in this section. This is what Derrida was working up. “Austin's procedure is rather remarkable and typical of that philosop...
Got this from spark notes. “One of the greatest deceptions of language, according to Nietzsche, is the subject-predicate form of grammar. Because all ...
I re-read Signiature-Event-Context today, and my take on it is this. Derrida zeros in on the concept(s) of context, which is central to the argument o...
In case you missed my response to Banno, Derrida wrote: “ Austin was obliged to free the analysis of the performative from the authority of the truth...
Derrida wrote: “ Austin was obliged to free the analysis of the performative from the authority of the truth value, from the true/false opposition, a...
I don’t distinguish between words and experience. Words are not ‘tools’ that represent thought. Language IS thought, and thought IS experiencing. So t...
The only thing I would quibble with here is your characterization of Derrida as a relativist and/or a skeptic. He denied being associated with either ...
The feelings and ideas of interconnectedness INITIALLY lead to an expansion of the idea of self, because they represent a transition, a contrast to, a...
Phenomenological philosophy after Husserl introduced a notion of time that may appear strange. They begin by pointing out that time measurement involv...
Would I be correct in assuming that you are a realist( I understand there are many varieties of it)? In other words, that you believe with Kant that ,...
It is true that Heidegger spoke of authenticity in terms of one’s ‘own most possibilities’ as against at the inauthenticity of das man and idle talk. ...
Yes, you’re right , there is no grounding to our construct system other than the system itself. Reality to any experiencer is what is consistent with ...
I understand that my comment piqued your curiosity concerning just how Derrida or Levinas were able to ‘justify’ Heidegger’s political choices. And ma...
