In very simplistic terms I would distinguish between them as being dogmatic and skeptical. Religions tend toward basing ideologies on Holy Books and/o...
No one is going to like to hear this ... but, the path to any kind of vaguely ‘classless’ society is through capitalism NOT socialism. Once everyone h...
The uneasy, insane and foolish, both want and expect a life of ease, comfort and sanity. It certainly isn’t a manual for life. It is an example of som...
The boon of ‘stoicism’ in humility. If someone is to take ‘stoicism’ as some ubiquitous elixir then they miss out on humility and knowing that limitat...
It depends. I was curious about this book and even tempted to buy it once or twice. Generally I find it more useful to write my own thoughts on ‘how t...
A true understanding of philosophy must be considered limited to them problems that it can address (not solve). Sciences can actually provide practica...
If that is your view (btw it should be “In my opinion,” and effect, not “affect”) it is rather blinkered. It would make sense to dig deeper as there a...
People act in a manner they deem ‘worthy’. The systems of hierarchy are products of human social activity. Where the most people can attach to a sense...
Reread Kant. He talks about noumena in the positive sense and the negative sense ... which is confusing because we can only ever talk of such in the ‘...
Think more simply. When something is ‘determined’ it is known, and when something is predicted it is ‘guessed’ based of determined knowledge (educated...
That isn’t true. The fact that you think like this doesn’t mean the rest of the world view the world as different sized piles of money. Ffs do somethi...
Does anyone here actually understand what is meant by “Social Contract” or is this a thread of make-believe and misdirection? To be fair there has bee...
Who gives a shit about foreign radicals? How about the US where child abuse is encouraged in the form of ignorant parents instilling lies in their chi...
Whatever we wish to define ‘freewill’ as I think we can all agree my ‘will’ has more to say on the matter than a rock. If not please produce a sentien...
The very fact that you think he meant to infer I was referring to individual episodes of any country’s particular history (slavery, police brutality, ...
80% of people on most forums are quite strange. It takes patience. Mine has pretty much run out now, but I sometimes find the odd discussion interesti...
I believe a larger factor to be social interaction. I don’t believe ‘language’ is a skill exactly. Being engaged in our inner/outer environment allows...
Are you playing devil’s advocate or making an attempt to mock me? Funny response either way. Thanks for reinforcing my point better than I ever could ...
When people, for whatever reason, choose to single out groups of people due to one arbitrary trait - that bears no real significance - then I choose t...
There are better terms. People like to push their own small minded agendas though at the expense of clarity, precision and reason. Groups if people ha...
Physicists are looked down on in philosophy forums too ... well, they’ve usually better things to attend to so its not common to find them on philosop...
In my experience most people don’t know how to read. They merely read words and say to themselves ‘Look at me reading! I’m literate!’ Any idiot can re...
Pointless rhetoric from pointless, clueless people. Bojo doesn’t run the country, May didn’t run the country and practically every single PM prior to ...
I confess I most definitely could have picked my words more carefully. I was being lazy :) Now ... was this ‘laziness’ fear? Yes, I admit it was. I te...
It’s always a danger to read a text for the first time through the opinions of others (‘qualified’ or not). I NEVER read commentaries until I’ve drawn...
Fair enough. I guess I should rephrase and say that rather than “laziness is fear of failure” I could be clearer by saying “laziness is lack of concer...
Laziness is fear of failure; the fear of not living up to one’s perception of self. It’s cowardice in disguise. Trying is basically learning. In this ...
The basic principle of the phenomenological approach is completely/utterly absent of any differentiation between any apparent ‘outside and inside’ dua...
Note: I have the Miller trans. It is worth looking at this to appreciate the use of Notion above concept. I’d also strongly argue that is indicative o...
Is this the snail’s pace you folks are working with? Is it okay if I post regardless? I’ll probably be done with this sometime before you lot unless I...
Cut to the meaning: 27. It is this coming-to-be of science as such or of knowledge, that is described in this Phenomenology of Spirit. Knowledge in it...
Of course he means “positivism” I was just stating the context. It’s there in black and white, but the issue surrounds how we understand other terms u...
As the vaguest of hints where to look ... I’d suggest you take into account the ‘intersubjective’ as being what binds the ‘prescienctific’ with the ‘s...
No misprints. I hand typed it and haven’t bothered to fix the small errors as they’re obvious enough. Husserl is referring to the use of mathematics i...
I’m certainly aware about his use of the term ‘science’ as I’ve read the entire work cover to cover and reread parts - especially the opening sections...
Perhaps if you posted the post in question here you could point out what part of it you consider ‘flamey’? I recall a slight undertone of derision whi...
Er ... have you read Crisis? In the very first few paragraphs Husserl is about as explicit as he ever is regarding his view of science. It is positive...
Exactly what is considered “flamey” ... was it you? Did you, can you, see the post? It was nothing. I’ll probably leave the forum because of this. The...
