I think the intentional concept has to include the public structuralist aspect of meaning, but that their can be a private founded aspect of meaning m...
I think we agree, at least on ambiguous cases. We want the best beliefs. We tend to want them to be true without having a way to know finally and cert...
I probably make such a fuss because Brandom gets from Kant the big insight that statements / claims / complete thoughts are the minimal unit of respon...
:up: Yes, it gets trickier up in the clouds. We can talk about our talking about our talking. We build new metacognitive self-referential concepts on ...
:up: I think I understand and mostly agree. It's like you are imaging holding the world fixed and changing the concept system. That violates my holism...
:up: Here's a tricky part in bold. How does one hold up a meaning (the meaning of an assertion) against the world to compare that meaning with a state...
:up: Checking it out. Thanks ! *** So far, he uses the later Heidegger more. I am surprised the equipmental nexus from the earlier work wasn't touched...
:up: This is why I mentioned earlier how we all compete now with the entire internet. I was very social in my 20s and 30s, but lots of things I took f...
I like that. I mentioned in this in passing once before, but I continue to find it resonant. All is vanity is a translation of all is hevel. This Hebr...
:up: I can't make sense of a simple binary state. And it can't be proven. And any kind of marketing or indiscriminate recruitment (for funding, say) s...
I do write some crazy stuff in a project with a friend inspired by Finnegans Wake. The main idea is to smash several layers of meaning together into a...
. :up: Yes, your version is more prototypical, and mine is a generalization. To me the main is idea is the closure and exclusiveness. *** I do think s...
My concern is that rationality itself is fundamentally ethical. In my view, there's a popular scientistic forgetting that science itself (in the broad...
I can't pretend to understand all of what you've written, but in case it clarifies my own case, your claims here would have to be justified in the 'dr...
To me the justifications are scaffolding that we can be rebuilt as needed. The main thing is to get it said. I think you are right that there aren't t...
I think we have a somewhat different conception of the esoteric. I'd include heraldry. I'd include stars-and-stripes, hammers-and-sickles, swastikas, ...
I completely agree. I'm tackling a related issue in Sensational Conceptuality. The idea is just that the inferential handles on concepts --- the kind ...
For context, I think humans are lucky to do as well they do in Denmark. :up: As a Cormac McCarthy character might put it, is it not weird that we drea...
Note that a Husserl-influenced direct realism allows for every kind of falliblity, and I also include mental entities in my ontology with no need for ...
Thanks for stopping in and asking a good question ! At the moment, I'm impressed by Husserl. There's an empty intention that the a-sliced-apple-is-on-...
Lakoff talks about the prototypical center of concepts. I'd say you fundamentally think of the sage when you think of the philosopher. I think of the ...
:up: I love when lots of pieces come together. For me Brandom was the glue that helped me transcend dualism and clarify direct realism. Drama-fucking-...

Reading about Vervaeke here : https://www.whatisemerging.com/profiles/john-vervaeke-edba633a-50b3-4dec-920b-967d8f0f2b01 A worldview is two things sim...
For what it's worth, I think your views are quite reasonable on an existential level. So I'm just being a stickler on a few technical issues that inte...
<smile> Ah but I think you know it's just an enriched-sophisticated direct realism. Bu if we get into that, it should be on another thread, I suppose ...
:up: I agree. So I've been trying to sketch (influenced by Habermas and Apel) the widest concept of rationality that still actually means something. I...
:up: I'd say we learn how to conceptualize and discuss a pain and a color that is just there, mostly nonconceptually, as a kind of overflow of any mer...
:up: I agree. Not long ago, I was too structuralist. Reading some Husserl, who I thought of as 'too subjective' a thinker before closer examination, f...
hypothesis The structural account explains the genesis of the private aspect of the reference of a concept that cannot exist without a public aspect. ...
From a phenomenological realist point of view, the world itself is colorful, noisy, painful. The rose is red. Its thorn hurts my careless finger. With...
Lately it looks to me that structuralist approaches to meaning (meaning as use, perhaps as inferential role) are illuminating but maybe leave somethin...
:up: Conceptual-categorical aspect (not the sound and color and music and ) of the lifeworld, for instance. :up: :up: FWIW, I think Husserl is right t...
I'd say that scientific paradigm switching is rational in the larger ethical-dramaturgical sense, and I'd support that by noting that it happens withi...
Ok, it seems you are really denying there is color and sound and pain beyond the inferential role of the tokens color, sound, and pain. How are such t...
:up: My only hesitation is that we may have evolved hero worship for a 'good reason.' In my dramaturgical ontology thread, I try to argue that the hum...
I agree there's a dark side of the concept. To me thought it's also a pretty good label especially for people who are way too young to be so good at w...
To me the 'real' esoteric stuff, which is important to me, is properly a secret in a circle of trust. I find clues and hints in certain texts, as if t...
Absolutely. So rationality is just a way of harnessing collision the collision variety. Just to be clear, I agree. My ontological inclusion of anythin...
Thank you. Sounds fascinating. It's so out of my typical discourse framework that I'll play it safe and just let it marinate in my mind for now. But I...
I understand that you want to be careful conceptually. But what I was trying to clarify here is whether you grant (basically) that life/experience inv...
:up: To me the essential difference between religion and philosophy is the rationality I specified a moment ago. Both Popper and Kojeve talk of a seco...
:up: Well put, and I agree. Rationality is something like trying to be a good citizen in an ideal communication community --- living toward or into th...
