How many of these decisions and preferences are made by use of an objectively causal method of reasoning? For instance, stipulating social or personal...

This is from Crisis of European Sciences: “One has expected the same objectivity from psychol­ogy as from physics, and because of this a psychology in...

I was tailoring my post for T. Clark’s interests.The point I was trying to emphasize was the relation between science and philosophy. If I were writin...

That’s right. That is not what enactivism is about. Enactivism is about the reciprocal coupling between organism and environment in which the organism...

Was this your conclusion from reading Phenomenology of Perception, or are you taking issue with it? In it Merleau-Ponty critiques both empiricism, whi...

It would probably be more precise to say that Darwin is a translation of a becoming -based philosophical idealism that Hegelianism prominently articul...

You should try talking to nature through the scientific approach of enactivism. Its pragmatic grounding requires nature to care about us , given that ...

They’re not just different fields. They rely on philosophical presuppositions that are out of reach of many physicists. For instance , Lee Smolen’s pa...

I’m wondering what would say Wittgenstein’s response to this sentence would be: Does it have a sense or status outside of conxtual use? If not, then p...

It sounds like your aquaintance with philosophy doesnt go past the early 1800’s. It has been more than a century since physics deserved the title of q...

A person observes a seemingly chaotic and unpredictable stream of phenomena. Over time, that chaos resolves itself into regularities and patterns afte...

Indeed, although the dictionary definition includes: 1) good sense and sound judgment in practical matters. "a common-sense approach” 2) : sound and p...

I was thinking of the corporate world, where the slogan ‘anything worth saying should be summarizable in a simple sentence’ is often heard. But that’s...

In the ongoing discussions of Wittgenstein, we have seen how sense emerges from and is constantly remade in mobile contexts of interaction. The emphas...

Shouldn’t the highest court of appeal be one’s success at construing the personal system of meaning informing another’s utterances effectively enough ...

This may be off topic , but that’s one definition of intentionality, but not the phenomenological one. In phenomenology , objects are given through a ...

I misread it to mean that discourse pertains only to practices concerning things like the ordering of the courses rather than to their taste.

What about when a group of top international chefs get together for some food tasting? Do you think that their rich background as taste creators comes...

I can see why: “Aesthetics and religious belief are two examples - for Wittgenstein, of course, crucially important examples - of areas of thought and...

Now I’m going to have to look up John Cook Wilson.

Why do we need the term ‘epistemology’ at all after Wittgenstein? What is it supposed to do? What is an ‘epistemological sense’? Maybe you could clari...

“According to Kühn, aesthetic factors play no decisive role in theory-choice within normal science. He says that, in the puzzle-solving of which norma...

That distinction is a quaint old notion with a long pedigree in Western thinking, but it has been discarded by a range of thinking that recognizes the...

You said this is a necessary condition because religion requires faith and authority. I’m not clear on the difference between religious faith and the ...

This understanding of the difference between religion and philosophy certainly runs counter to the use of the word religion in many philosophy and the...

What larger cultural norms shape your response to someone else’s hair style? Until the beatniks and the hippies( let your freak flag fly) , 20th centu...

Is your critique based on a thoroughgoing knowledge of the work of the ‘Néw Wittgensteinian’ authors or is this a knee-jerk reaction to the blurb I qu...

And what are the background discursive , valuative conventions ( knowledge relative to the times, as you put it) that makes such things as ‘news cycle...

But not an accepted trope among many atheists, specifically those who understand the inseparable relation between empirical objectivity, logic and mat...

great minds think alike

The conditions can’t be all that different. Otherwise, scientific and artistic movements ( Renaissance , Enlightenment, Modern and postmodern) wouldn’...

Kuhn speaks of the then-accepted view of the difference between artistic taste and scientific change. “The creative idiom of a Rembrandt, Bach, or Sha...

Would it be fair to characterize changes in embraced style, approach and sensibility over the history of the arts a matter of change in taste? If so ,...

I assumed you were comfortable with the therapy’ label because it seems to have been embraced by a community of Wittgenstein interpreters that I assoc...

I meant to say ‘I WOULDNT SAY’ That wasn’t my phrasing , but from Phil Hutchinson and Rupert Read.

He’s my bud

I just made that up. Don’t tell 180 proof. But I’m reading through Structure of Scientific Revolutions and found this: ‘a paradigm is used to describe...

I’m curious. Has Charles Peirce played any role in your thinking? I also think I recognize some Deleuzian language, although I may just be reading tha...

What is the genesis of these associations? Did these events just so happen to be fortuitously paired in temporal proximity at one point and then this ...

I don’t think rules are discovered out there in the world. They are enacted. This is a different concept.

No, but a dog has expectations of what will ensue when it barks in a particular way or gestures with its paw. We know what we are talking about to the...

I don’t think Witt ( or Antony) is interested in cutting nature at its joints. This notion of nature implies an extant empirical realm that we ‘map’. ...

I don’t know about that. Zahavi reads Husserl as saying that the ‘something it is like’ is a ‘for-meness’ present in all experiences. Essentially Zaha...

It may be correct or incorrect. I won’t know until I get a clear sense of what the distinction is for you between ‘theory’ and ‘belief system’. An alg...

Tools get their meaning from how they are used , and that requires that they belong to a larger framework of relevance, otherwise known as a belief sy...

What kind of situation would be an example of irrationality and social delusion and what about it does not make use of social agreement? If scientific...

Indeed. I would t say Antony is borrowing Witt for some side interest. He is putting forth an interpretation in which ‘therapy’ is absolutely central ...

What are you contrasting delusion and fiction with? Tell me what gives the opposite of those notions its justification.

The irony is that Dawkins’scientistic approach to empiricism makes his thinking religious in a broad sense. If a belief system is ‘delusional’ , an ex...

Is the token ‘hello’ something we could call a member of a category? Where does the category have its existence? Expecting the same or a synonym is a ...
