Do you know of Client centred therapy (Rogers) at all? Congruence here is equivalent to honesty. So if it is the case that you do not in fact have unc...

Ladies, please show a little more decorum in your conversation.

I don't mind agreeing with Gettier if he will allow that his argument and my agreement is meaningless. :) Well is this not exactly what @"creativesoul...

Michael, try my newly minted Anti-Gettier. Given that it is the case that it rains every day, do you believe that "if I do the rain dance it will rain...

Here in the Welsh mountains, it rains very nearly every day. Thus (a) is probably true, even though (a1) 'If I have not performed the rain dance, it w...

I admit that was a bit telegraphic. Belief, nor justification, nor inference confer truth. Per Gettier, one can have justified false beliefs. Put trut...

@"creativesoul" Well I just waded through all this, and I have to admit to some skimming. I'll make a few preliminary remarks, and see who wants to sw...

sub = below, under. stance = standing. Substance is understanding. If there is another substance than understanding it can only be understood to be mi...

By way of showing my support for Ms Peterson and her principled stand for freedom of speech, and with grateful thanks to Ms Baden and all you lovely l...

Ah, poor John, did Nursey take your favourite rattle?

If this were the case, one would expect to find women dominating in matters pertaining to morality, in the judiciary and the priesthood, for examples....

Right. I might have recourse to my stick insect example. The poor stick insect is genetically condemned to, all unknowing, pretend to be s stick. Or a...

Are you guys literally from another planet? When you want to literally fathom something, you need a plumb line marked in fathoms that you can literall...

Says man from future? I don't think it was a race thing at all, but a class thing. But ask a time traveller.

Interestingly, its another case where there seems to be no application for 'truth' or 'honesty', because it is a command - 'Be a man' = 'Stop snivelli...

Ship chandler, not shit Chandler.

You need a longer plumb line. Pass by the bookstore and head for the chandler.

What I was hoping to illustrate with my anecdote was that intersubjective communication is - in the beginning at least - nonverbal. And I wanted to as...

In order to love or hate a group or type, whether it's gender, class, race, or whatever, you first have to stereotype them. Mysogyny is contempt for w...

That's appalling statistics - less than 20%; they should mandate a few hours target practice every week to improve them. I hope the police do better a...

Gotcha. Stay safe.

Excellent! It's always reassuring to find that one is not alone in one's fanciful ideas. Ha! I'm almost saying that individuality is madness... Anyway...

I guess the same. The way I would put it, that is closer to the intersubjective model, is that being treated humanely is humanising, and being treated...

Yes please. from here I need to read some more, so this is a directed random fragment of fragments. Let me just remark that there seems to be a founda...

You miss my point, I fear. I do not deny that your examples are the result of gender stereotyping, nor do I deny that they operate in these cases to t...

Well what it's supposed to be about is how 'me' is a social construct, so this ... ... is exactly on topic. Hey, dude, I'm only shooting the messenger...

Yeah, it makes sense. But this makes a tad less sense. If the remarkable figures were true, it would have become standard practice. If the remarkable ...

It doesn't look like there's going to be much discussion of intersubjective consciousness. :(

Links? This is the basic claim: Source. If this is substantially true, it is remarkable, and if it is false, it should be very easily falsifiable.

It's being trialled in the UK by the National Health Service, and there is a training course. I don't know where the US is a the moment, and from the ...

I wasn't being sarcastic, I do want to educate myself. All references gratefully received.

I'm not that familiar with dogs, or the dog whisperer. Do dogs suffer from psychosis? What you are describing seems more like neurosis at a guess. Reg...

The economy of time is very odd. One spends time saving time by eliminating time-wasters, only to find that one is time-poor.

It doesn't have to be different, but I sense that it is different. But I'm not clear about the difference. I feel I am not quite being understood, and...

This is all very new to me, so thanks for the homework assignments. I'd speculate that Darwall's reluctance could be to do with a notion that a public...

I'm not sure what you're telling me that's different to what I'm telling you.

No, I'm not. I'm reporting with references that other people have studied what is being done in Finland, and have found that it has far better results...

I'm trying to characterise, in your own language, the process of individualisation. The relation of parent to infant necessarily begins as a person-ob...

I'm not sure I understand this initial distinction, but the notion of narrative self seems to have potential, that I will exploit anyway.. Perhaps you...

So, are you, in saying this, the patient? If you were the patient, and I was the Open Dialogue therapist, and you were talking about your own experien...

Yes indeed it is. That is because it is primary. Authority figures are like gods - personified objects. Woe betide if your parents are authority figur...

'What sorts of things are they?', he asks unfairly. Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one acts out. Before peers, there are parents. Which is to say t...

Cool. But I'd like to drag you out of your virtual world (says the internet philosopher ;) ), and insist that you not occupy the role of patient and o...

I think that 'new' is out of place. If this is correct, that consciousness is made of relationships, and refer back to the edit link in the op for det...

I think this is a gross underestimate. These guys are curing the incurable, and you don't do that just by being soothing. It is quite difficult to see...

I voted substantive mainly because you seem to have ruled it out by setting up the idea that an ecosystem is equivalent to a bunch of billiard balls. ...

Yes indeed, and I cannot find much patient testimony either. It's understandable. The best I can find so far is a couple of case histories here, and t...

Isn't it odd how traditional wisdom suddenly becomes respectable and believable, when you add neurobabble?

No it isn't. the whole world rightfully belongs to me. Jesus left it to me in his will.

Property is theft. To claim possession of some part of the world is to seek to deprive others of it. Therefore taxation is partial restitution.
