And every one said, who saw them go, ‘O won’t they be soon upset, you know! For the sky is dark, and the voyage is long, And happen what may, it’s ext...
Sorry, but the very notion of a contradiction in nature is confused. Nature is not the sort of thing that can be both true and false; because a fact c...
Says...? That is my preferred usage, too, but not everyone's. The point being that there is no correct usage, just convenience. There are hermaphrodit...
If you like - for Witti the within-person dynamic is either going to be pubic, and hence a part of the between-person dynamic; or private, and hence o...
...and that leaves me cold. It looks deliberately obscure. And what little of it that I can comprehend is misguided: "There’s no room for each partici...
Hmm. Not as interesting as it might have been. Poetry only appears more apt than philosophy for this sort of discussion because it is so loose. In the...
...I think you made that up. Subjectivity is critiqued in PI; so suggesting the primacy of intersubjectivity strikes me as problematic. So I wonder if...
Oooo, that's a good question. And a puzzle. There's a few directions one might go, from subservience to the squattocracy to reliance on mateship. But ...
Do you suppose the increased interest in Heidi over the last few years is related to the rise of autocratic thinking? To the acceptance of obscure bul...
Again, I am addressing the OP. You just do not like what I have to say. I'm still waiting for you to explain where you talk about organisations in the...
"Going along with the system" is all there is to 1+1=2. All you have done is recognise that you are part of the game. When you talk to the trees, you ...

Yep, one who is consumed by themselves would not see the relevance. The extreme individualism that underpins such thought sits outside of ethics, not ...
...along with making your bed and washing the dishes? This strikes me as teenage whining. Growing up involves taking responsibility not just for yours...
Yes it can - and demonstrably, it does. You can fight, but you cannot wage war. You can make paper, you cannot print money. You can become a vigilante...
...then you mean something curious by "understand". One checks that a child understands addition by having them add various numbers; one checks that s...
...and I, that you have never read Philosophical Investigations... Indeed, I'm only familiar with Being and Time from excerpts and secondary sources. ...
And you won’t have some acquaintance with their philosophies without the slightest idea of how to interpret the way they lived their lives. Your point...
Ah, but see the title. I addressed it directly. I took it from memory, from the entry on Heidegger in the Book of Dead Philosophers, which I commend t...
It might be better not to use thei term so freely. See the topic of the same name. It's not a word used by Wittgenstein, nor by his translators - and ...
Heidegger spent the Great War reporting on the weather. Wittgenstein spent it volunteering for the most dangerous tasks to be found on the front line....
But it 's not impossible. We do understand reality. You, for example, understand how to write in English on a web forum. In an attempt to deal with th...
