The analogical irony embodied in the conflictual relation of individual vs society is more complex. Using the example of socrates feigning ignorance h...
I dont know if Platonic forms are anything, but my understanding of forms is that if something embodies it such as a comic character or Socrates the f...
Free speech has never guaranteed what you write will be published. You always could publish whatever you like yourself, but pamphleteering on the stre...
In the discursive way I think about irony my thoughts meander in various directions. One dimension is how there are the original examples of irony: th...
The late Bruno Latour's Actor Network Theory supposedly originated from analysis of the "hotel room key". The key has a cumbersome object attached and...
Is this allusion to predestination? Weber argued predestination was lost in the process of rationalization, however I think irony and determinism are ...
Reason is not ironic, but to identify irony takes reason. However, there is a paradox: to reason something is ironic then proceed to do it, is irratio...
I just wanted to elaborate a little bit on this point. I use this as a simple to understand example of my perception of irony in action, which can be ...
Sounds like Deleuze, concepts are undefined, they do not exist in isolation and have to be understood contextually. I dont fully understand the depth ...
Yes, spiritual/ metaphysical but in reference to modern objects. So Deleuze, for example will take the modern object of schizophrenia and boil down it...
Irony is the opposition in Platonic duality: essence opposed to object, idea from reality, person from society, cause from effect, etc. The dictionary...
because women say they are harassed? It's not whether the control has worked. It's about how freedom is turned into something where control can be app...
Anarchy/ism doesn't represent an ideal imo, but a negation of an ideal. It is to individualism as absurdity is to nihilism. Anarchy from my perspectiv...
Yes, that happens people are suppressed, and others who are agreed with are amplified. I am more concerned with more subtle elements of control in soc...
Thinking in approximations, if Capitalism is analogous to schizophrenia, and postmodernism is analogous to schizophrenia, then the alt-right is an org...
I'm not sure postmodern metaphysics has any transformative power. Postmodernism is metaphysical compared to material science which dominates perceptio...
Negative freedoms are 'freedom from' and positive freedoms are 'freedom to'. The out of control desire to be free to do anything and being allowed to ...
The tragedy of postmodernism is that it is far from being a point of departure from modernity, but has become a fascination, and has been assimilated ...
I end that paragraph in this foreboding way, because I see the practice of psychiatry/ psychology as an extension of rationalization, and thus part of...
If there was a point when pastoralism became farming, it was when Weber was commenting Calvinism gave birth to Capitalism. When urbanization and indus...
No, it is a philosophical exercise, perhaps one that, alas, I am not doing too well. In the Matrix, Neo wakes up to find he is being farmed which is r...
The issue is not so much what is illusion and what is truth, it just seems that the conditions of the cave are a reification like the shell of rationa...
anarchistic only in relation to a kind of social order. There is likely a state of affairs where postmodernism would be at complete peace. That's not ...
Fight fascism. Transcend the futurist utopia. Act ironically to the code (mostly discursive). Have fluid identities. Be conscious of what you are coop...
Rationality and irrationality are not mutually exclusive, they can exist at the same place and at the same time. Someone can be rational to an irratio...
My concern is not to reform psychiatry. I see this as purely a philosophical exercise. Psychiatry is like capitalism, by association yes, but also jus...
Oppressed and not knowing why: C Wright Mills wrote of men feeling trapped in their lives. I do feel this way, maybe it has something to do with deleu...
Well, there is probably a few ways of looking at it, but I like using the ironical lens. Looking at irrationality this way, you see a contradictory du...
My concern is not to revolutionize psychiatry, therefore I do not intend to create new ways of understanding the etiology of disorder. My concern is t...
I appreciate your effort to transcend conventional understanding, but my position is to focus on the analogy between detachment of reality in psychosi...
I'm not certain defining any object of human inquiry is about 'everything' or is saying nothing about it. Cells were not objects of human inquiry befo...
To me anything real is something that is not simulated. That definition extends to real leather to the real world. The way I see it the world we exper...
The essence of irony is not linguistic. There is a common denominator across all irony categories (literary, socratic, cosmic, situational, dramatic, ...
Well,yes, I was just musing about how things could be not as they seem. That kind of comment goes over better in a group of stoners on weed than in a ...
I'll have to do a little more work on this issue before I say too much more about it, but I see the Gettier problem as simply that JTB cannot be used ...
It frustrates me that Gettier problems have the fundamental characteristics of irony, but irony is only mentioned once in the wikipedia article in a s...
The bigger issue that looms on James' mind is not what's for dinner, but are they going to make babies after? Few people will let the problems of the ...
If direct realism were true then objectivity would simply be a matter of narrating our very experiences. However the indirect nature of our perception...
Ideas represent objects. An idea doesn't exist, it refers to something that exists. If nothing existed no idea could exist. The mindscape is the world...
re: mental content: Yes,that is a specific area of mystery. There are several general areas including workings of the brain, the experience of the sub...
In my view the philosophical consideration of disordered perception on the subject's end and institutionally affirmed perception on the psychiatrist o...
That's not the point I'm making. I'm not saying they should be encouraged to have the belief or that they absolutely shouldn't be treated with medicat...
The person is powerful and knowledgeable enough to introduce a robust form of life such as tardigrades with big brains that are invulnerable to the en...
