If, in your reading, the 'standard realist position' turns upon nothing other than the contradictory dicate to both know and not know X at the same ti...
It is literally his second proposition: P2) In order to know whether or not "the being of X is independent of its being known," one must “know X when ...
To put my objection another way: the realist position doesn't hinge on finding something out about the world (about X and what we don't/know of it); i...
Nonsense. As if one ought to wait for concentration camps before raising hell. And your blithe dismissal of the 5 demands says more about you than abo...
I'm challenging the idea that a realist would agree with the OP's presentation of their position. So yeah, you're right, but only to the degree that w...
This is fine as far as it goes but it doesn't address my main objection: that it's not something about X which we must know ("know X when X is not bei...
Actually this is what they want: 1. Full withdrawal of the extradition bill 2. An independent commission of inquiry into alleged police brutality 3. R...
This seems contentious. It seems to me that the realist claim would turn upon the limits of knowledge as such, and not knowledge about some thing or a...
My takeaway is rather different: not that math and logic are atemporal and aspatial, but rather, that they are normative practises, techniques, employ...
Perhaps the first thing to point out is that it's not at all clear what this could possibly mean: if a definiendum no longer entails its definiens, in...
In a way you're right - one of the implications is a kind of short-circuiting of the whole debate: perception, as a matter of interaction, is neither ...
As Banno noted, this exact thing - wearing inverted glasses over a prolonged period of time - has been a well known scientific experiment, and there's...
This is really good stuff! I especially like the section on warrant, the use in this context which I'd not come across before. It's nice to have a nam...
Debatable, but not particularly worth debating. -- As far as continental philosophy goes, I like Catherine Malabou's characterization of it as broadly...
A comic? Seriously? Does your thread have a point? You listed a bunch of Wittgenstein buzzwords, briefly invoked Chomsky - a thinker who could not be ...
Christian Marazzi - The Violence of Financial Capitalism Read this over a couple of days. Was a bit too condensed to be particularly useful, but the e...
Yeah, I thought the last chapter - along with the legal analysis in chpt 4 - were the most original of the book. I think you're entirely right too in ...
70 pages in, and it's pretty fun so far. I think Graeber gets a bit of flak for coming off as a bit glib, but he's got the chops to back it up so I do...
Just quickly - need to sleep - my hunch is that everything turns on negation, and the ability to treat negation as positive: to treat 'not-X' as a pos...
Daivd Graeber - Debt: The First 5000 Years Maurizio Lazzarato - The Making of Indebted Man: An Essay on the Neoliberal Condition Maurizio Lazzarato - ...
It's not the new kinds of subjectivities that need to be 'taken into account' per se - at this point I take it for granted that different kinds of sub...
My interest is 'two-way': what can thinking crowds in terms of subjectivity tell us about subjectivity itself? And what can it tell us about crowds? (...
Ha, the thing is that Moore's self-description betrays what he actually says - he says he's not talking about political expediency, but his whole disc...
Not flawed! It tells us something about the world that it must be 'modelled' in this way (in any way): it is 'objectively the case' that you must incl...
True. But you want to say something about perception by asking it. Still silly. Yeah. I would only be careful: we are of reality, and don't stand outs...
No, no. If there are no people (or perceivers, rather) then there is no perception. It's a bad question ('how would one perceive it if one were not ar...
I don't philosophize off the back of linguistic connotations. We bring a great deal of ourselves to what we perceive. Any study of perception will tel...
Re: agency - I wouldn't say that agency is like a kind of 'not as good' way to speak of subjectivity. I would rather say something like: subjectivity ...
Ah but you're wrong. Valuation is built-in to perception. It's why we are susceptible to visual illusions, it's why people have visual disorders where...
