But by the same token there is also no meaning of signs absolutely ‘external’ to the subject. Hypostatizing the social simply swings the pendulum from...
So this dialectical scheme is a kind of logic of becoming? But it is not external to the Dasein , the self-world relation, or Derrida’s differance, wh...
Eugene Gendlin disagrees with you. Gendlin’s phenomenological approach to intersubjectivty has much in common with Heidegger’s, and also with Derrida....
There is no ‘interior monologue’. Derrida says all speech is writing , so when I speak or write to myself, I am speaking to the other. This is the ori...
As I mentioned earlier, even though I think Gallagher and Gadamer misread Heidegger , they at least recognized that he was not dissolving the self int...
Heidegger’s Dasein is not the frame , it is the in-between frames: “Uncanniness is the fundamental kind of being-in-the-world, although it is covered ...

What does. it mean to say that the repetition. of change is ‘eternally present’? There certainly is no content or feeling here that is eternally prese...
Only to the extent that the larger background philosophical knowledge that a capitalist free-market economy depends on( Enlightenment thought , Adam S...
Shouldn’t it be the case that they are superior precisely because they are a consequence of ? Isn’t that the whole point and value of advancement in u...
Is modern physics superior to Newtonian physics? Is Darwinian biology superior to pre-Darwinian biology? Do they subsume and transcend their older ver...
This is the absolute antithesis of phenomenology. To be self-present is to be altered in the very act of turning back to oneself. So there is no etern...
Do you feel the same way about old science vs new science? Does science advance, such that ignoring the distinction between old and new theories in ph...
We each get to choose our own Wittgenstein. My Wittgenstein is the Wittgenstein of Cavell , Diamond, Conant and the later Baker(and Anthony Nickles to...
There is a world , but not a static one that sits there waiting for us to represent it faithfully with our science. The world is a continual developme...
There are many conflicting interpretations of what Heidegger means by language and how he sees the relation between self and culture. This is from a r...
Algorithms, computation, representation and ‘data’ are part of the ‘old’ way of thinking about what brains do. Affective, Enactive, embodied, auto-poe...
Let’s look at how Husserl grounds the empirical object. One of the key aspects of Husserl's approach was his explanation of the origin of spatial obje...
Husserl actually assumed both that others exist outside my consciousness but that I can never have access to them except as variations of my own exper...
What would be private here if every moment of experience subtly remakes this ‘private’ realm? Where is the inside , the dream, the subject , the solip...
Ego for Husserl doesn’t mean personality. It is not Freud’s notion of ego. In fact , for Husserl, the pure ego functions as nothing but an empty zero ...
The key for me is that Popper believed that determination of anomalies and the impetus of scientific revolutions were rational affairs, making use of ...
I only know of other subjects and a ‘world’ to the extent that I can construe these entities on some dimension of similarity with respect to my ongoin...
He does not believe the word is my dream, but that we don’t represent , mirror, or correspond to an indepdentlt existing world. He , like Derrida , Ni...
Popper rejected Hegelian dialectic in favor of a Kantian notion of an assumption approach of science toward truth He could not accept the notion that ...
Firstly, this ‘science of consciousness’ was based on radically different principles than that of empirical science. Thus , he was not attempting a st...
Husserl is not an empirical realist. He does not believe it is coherent to make the claim that a world precedes, outlasts and contains me and everyone...
But the relation between logic and language is rethought between Tractatus and P.I. As Ray Monk says “ In Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Wittgenstein...
You’ll have better luck with Philosophical Investigations. Here’s you’ll find Witt reiterating Heidegger’s point that logic, as a grammatical construc...
The question is this: What kind of pre-schemarized understanding of the world must be already in place in order for propositional logic to work as a d...
Not sure that it goes much deeper than a set of presuppositions concerning the object that became crystallized as the basis the inseparable relation b...
I dont see Popper as compatible with the later Wittgenstein. Popper’s notion of falsification depends on certain assumptions concerning the invariance...
I think that’s Zahavi’s point in the article you’re quoting from. “ For Husserl, there are, in short, not two ontologically different objects, the app...
My in-process paper on anger, blame and moral values sketches moral universalist and moral relativist interpretations of anger contexts. I surmise the...
And yet I do think there is a remnant of that Cartesianism lurking in the treatment of affectivity , both on the part of embodied enactivtists like Th...
I dont think Merleau-Ponty would agree with Heinemaa. In Phenomecology of Perceptual, where he mentions orgasm, it is in the context of a discussion a...
I think the notion that apokrisis and I take issue with, in different ways, is the depiction of consciousness as a substance or property. What makes t...
Well, in of support your observation, Heidegger uses your wording rather than Yalom’s. “For by nature, my friend, man's mind dwells in philosophy” (Pl...
I think that when we find ourselves in a realm of concern where ‘simple fallacies of logic’ have become important to us, we are so far removed from an...
Heidegger believes that we dont simply experience a world, each of us produces a world. For each of us, all of the particular objects and events that ...
What does general mean here? How does the general escape or transcend the first personal? Keep in mind the referential out of consciousness doesn’t re...
What do you make of Bitbol’s attempt to dissolve the hard problem? He’s following Varela here. http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/4007/1/ConsciousnessPri...
Panpsychism doesn’t solve the hard problem, it reifies it by installing the dualism within each bit of objective reality. Here’s a way to really solve...
My favorite passages of Nietzsche are not his aphorisms but paragraphs like the one below, which is as complex a philosophical explanation or argument...
It seems to me the problem of evil just gets democratized to include the whole cosmos instead of just being confined to inter-human affairs. Wouldnt i...
