Not all philosophical texts about identity are so reductionist, are they ? You boiled it down to brain function. Is there not something more interesti...

Nonsense.

Says who ?

So, a pretty pared back bundle of mentality, then ? Is that what you would write about 'You' in your autobiography ?

I guess it's what some philosophical types are interested in. What is it that seems 'very fishy' ? The underlying issue is about identity. Reasons are...

So, who are you ? Real or otherwise ?

I object :down: Most strongly :naughty: This should be open to a public vote. From a list of 5, compiled by the contributors and readers of this threa...

I appreciate your enthusiasm but I see more distracting poetry than useful clarity in this explication: Some selective pruning required ?

I am not there yet. I guess you are one of the few :wink:

The discussion between you and WerMaat is instructive and enjoyable to read. Reciprocal exchanges and informative interaction. It is exactly what I ap...

I haven't reached this point yet. However, your clear thoughts and writing make me want to try and catch up. I'm glad about that. It seems to me that ...

How excellent is this. Das ist fantastisch :cool:

Consider it noted with appreciation for clarity, drawing out the distinction. From Gardner's Glossary: ---------- Helpful. The unfolding of developing...

I Simply Can't Function Without My Sexy Emoticons ! :cool: :kiss: :love: :yum:

And here was me thinking you a contermacious rebel who would rise to the occasion. And delight. Am now in such a major huff :meh: and sad :cry: and di...

I am sure you have plenty more sparklers to magically whisk out of your top hat or psychedelic pants. At a moment's notice. Just like that :sparkle: B...

Well, like I said, I thank Fooloso4 for introducing me to it. That was a first for me. I did wonder how it would have progressed... What's new in lang...

It 'seems' or I did ? It is not so very sad, is it? I don't think you are expressing your personal situation and frustration as honestly or succinctly...

Agree. Fascinating to watch but I kept having thoughts re ethics, even though privacy issues were taken into consideration. I was a bit uncomfortable....

I've watched it twice now, only 20 mins long, it informs and delights. It's a Wow for me :cool: The summary where he talks to his son about the data r...

I know and appreciate that. You are a devilish angel :halo: :naughty:

True for some. But worth repeating, I think, as a reminder to self and others to be constantly aware and critical, to ask pertinent questions of 'just...

I am going to follow this piece of advice, from website: What evidence is there of this two stage development? I doubt things are so neatly divided. T...

Thanks for reply. Interesting to read of how you see the world of people, their awareness and understanding - or lack thereof. So, if there is a possi...

Now that I didn't know :smile: And that's only the kids we know about...

Yeah. A bit of a mouthful, huh - and what comes out of his is... 'Spasms of incorrectitude' to say the least :rage: 'Spasms of incorrectitude': Johnso...

'Self-sedimenting of inner voice' - that sounds murky. What do you mean by this? As I try to imagine this process of internalizing words and their mea...

You answered my question of The story did not surprise me. I was not surprised by it showing that: The surprise element comes in the astonishment of t...

Thanks for this example of what you consider 'a common and usual approach: 'To consider meaning primarily as a matter of definition'. I am not sure ho...

Yes. It is not a copy of the original context. How could It be ? It is a reformulation adapted to suit the needs of the child. If 'our usual approache...

And how did the story question how language works ? I repeat the question since it interests me. I have noted Baden's suggestion. There must be more e...

How does anything get turned into understanding ? The learning process. The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals and possibly some machine...

Yes. It is not only a parroting of the words alone but an imitation or copying of the behaviour and context in which the parent used it. Body language...

:up:

Lovely story but I'm not sure that it teaches us anything we didn't know already. A child learns to speak by imitation. Echoing. Parroting. The troubl...

. I will do this here. Finally, I am taking time out to return to the Translator's Notes to understand the reasons for word choices. In Pinkard pdf th...

Who you gonna call ? Hanover ? :kiss: Cheers Wallows, are you reading the Preface?

Signing off on the extraneous stuff to focus on text. Apologies to Tim if my entries are seen as just the kind of 'noise' you were hoping to avoid. Ba...

The thread is only about the Preface. So, we are following Tim as leader of a group discussion. As usual, readers are at various stages, levels of abi...

The Hegel Glossary from Sebastian Gardner is useful here. Gives different translations and thoughts from Miller, Inwood, Solomon, Geraets et al, Kainz...

Actually, I don't think this unusual in any reading. I am thinking of starting at the end :wink:

Yes. If done well, it is time consuming and other things take priority. I think some will have read the Preface before and so have a major head start....

Any particular reason? I felt the same way yesterday.

Hegel index of terms pdf can be downloaded straight from Google search. There are only 4 pages which I have printed off. Also, a free downloadable dic...

Good question but, as yet, unanswered. I wonder why that would be the case? I think it important that we ask that kind of question. This text warrants...

I hope you will continue to give your understanding of selected text. I don't expect that a full explication is what is required for a forum discussio...

It would perhaps be wise to slow down. Take the time, as group leader, to read and think carefully before using the para as the basis for a group disc...
