I try to understand your points and your enthusiasm about Gendlin, Kelly, Heidegger, and Derrida. Honestly, I am more familiar with Derrida's works th...
"Events understood as interaffectings of interaffectings, working within and beyond relations among presumed temporary essences (conceptual, affective...
Lacan has offered a scheme of time that achieves similar results by different means. It is not about an intention, being, and self that transforms its...
Any YouTube video about learning how to use a tool has a complement of verbal or finger-alphabet instructions. When one learns how to work with a scre...
As far as I understand, your point is that our mental states are ultimately independent of the corresponding verbal expressions. This position fails t...
If I believe that it is raining, there is my mental state that is expressed in belief. Yet, would my mental state be identifiable and recognizable if ...
Likely, when @"Banno" asserts that belief is always about states of affairs, this claim indicates a limited domain where beliefs are easily verifiable...
Sorry, I did not understand. Maybe you are right about Plato vs. Socrates relations. Even if Plato’s representation of Socrates’s story was polished a...
Likely, we do have different personal experiences of the void. Nevertheless, to find common ground, our task could be to conceptualize it. For Zizek, ...
You represent a relatively common point of view: all these thinkers are freaks and nuts, having enormous and baseless ambitions. It is understandable ...
I will try to explain myself. Of course, I like this kind of philosophical stuff. Yet, there are a few more things. Pleasure, all types of enjoyment a...
It is an excellent phenomenological mapping of our desire. And it resonates with Zizek’s account of our ontological conditions: ” What one should do h...
I agree with you; their style is too militant. Yet, they have offered the the most comprehensive critique of the Lacanian theory.I want to get back to...
You articulate here 'a common sense' psychology. It reaffirms a 'natural understanding' of a child development, but it can help neither understand our...
@"csalisbury" Nathan Widder has recently developed this line of argumentation. He tries to reinterpret Lacan's scheme of a child's subjectivation via ...
Yes, of course. The statement is not hidden (in Foucault's sense) if we do not need to look for a hidden meaning, to interpret it according to a found...
I disagree. "Generally speaking, one can say that a sentence or a proposition - even when isolated, even divorced from the natural context that could ...
Foucault asserts that "A series of signs will become a statement on condition that it possesses 'something else'(which may be strangely similar to it,...
"Can one not say that there is a statement wherever one can recognize and isolate an act of formulation - something like the speech act referred to by...
It was not just about the contextuality of meaning. In "Archeology of knowledge," Foucault shows how his statements are related to speech-acts. Later,...
“The statement is not the direct projection on to the plane of language (langage) of a particular situation or a group of representations. It is not s...
It is a fundamental ambivalence here. In principle, the field of justice is autonomous and independent. Likely, when philosopher-kings in SCOTUS impos...
So far, the Dems grill Barrett on how she would rule on California v. Texas, a constitutional challenge to the ACA that is set to be argued before the...
It looks like Biden tacitly admitted that, if he is elected president, he will preside over the end of the filibuster. Consequently, it would allow De...
Just a few marginal groups or individuals embrace such a radical perspective on Law. The waste majority of people do not take The Supreme Court, the R...
Please correct me if I am wrong: probably, for the majority of people, judge Barrett’s professional or personal qualities almost do not matter. Maybe,...
I am not saying that it is going to be business as usual. I am saying that all sides play politics of fear and affect: there is almost no place for re...
It is common to blame Trump in undermining the trust in the integrity of the upcoming elections, and, consequently, destroying democracy. It is imposs...
Ford had made her case publicly to a friendly press. From a prosecutor's perspective, that was a doubtful way to handle allegations. The allegations w...
Likely, your description can be easily transformed into the abstract diagram of primary ad’s industry determinants, working strategies and tactics, al...
I understand your point. You mean that my articulation of subjectivities is a subjective construction itself without the objective grounding. You are ...
Likely, the capitalistic arrangements primarily produce particular subjectivities. A subjectivity could be defined as a cluster of behavioural pattern...
The problem here can probably not be solved with the help of the distinction between ideal, rational selves, and the illogical or irrational motivatio...
We could resolve the ad's paradox if we will rigorously apply your suggestion: We should reject the false opposition between mere facts and social, co...
Thank you for posing this problem. There is a paradoxical situation: we know that all of this is made up, and we approximately understand how it is pr...
You are right. We still do not fully understand it. I will try to analyze it again. Lacan is extraordinarily influential and interesting, but he is no...
You can try Michel de Certeau “The practice of everyday life”. There is a comparative critique of both Foucault and Bordieu. A little bit outdated, it...
I think that Lacan's conceptualizations represent different arrangements of truth. (Connections to your previous OP are possible and workable). Lacan ...
For Lacan, truth plays a crucial role in each of his four paradigmatic discursive conceptualizations. Any apparent discursive act presupposes differen...
What does it mean that one is white? This identity has been changing so rapidly over the last time. @"Judaka" has presented this image of an imaginary...
Thank you for clarifications! Anyway, did you mean that the system divides all people into two groups, or there are some individuals who are not 'mark...
I do not understand if you talk directly to me, or this is just your rhetoric style. In the first case, almost all that you say is factually incorrect...
If we look at point #1: first, the assertion is not categorical (at least intends to divide),differently from what is asserted in #2, 3, and 4. Next, ...
All your consideration is based on the racial premise of skin colour as the most fundamental socio-economic distinction and operator. How can we know ...
It is a challenging question. Probably, it is a false choice between “being white” and “being fully conscious of systemic racism.” We need to avoid a ...
Probably, you are right: the term act indicates a kind of juridical responsibility. So, let's replace the "act of systemic racism" with "unintentional...
