Mapping the Medium

Comments

So sorry, I didn't answer your direct question. I'm juggling stuff here. It is ontological because at its root it is based on an understanding of 'bei...

I highly recommend reading C.S Peirce's 'The Fixation of Belief'. True, it's not just limited to the US, but it was at a peak frenzy at the time the U...

Thank you. ..... I am not able to respond right now due to obligations pulling me away, but I will. :)

BY the way, Scotus explains free will. Perhaps that will get some attention.
January 01, 2020 at 14:23
Scotus was brilliant. VERY in depth, and difficult to follow, but his insights were wonderful! He was probably overlooked and difficult to understand ...
January 01, 2020 at 14:20
Where do you see the differences in Scotus's view?
January 01, 2020 at 14:11
I want to logically discuss the differences between Thomism and Scotus. I decided I should give this forum one last opportunity to seriously discuss p...

Thank you

So, we want the 'scientific method', which if you know anything about Peirce, we owe much of that to him, and we want the 'pragmatism', which his was ...
January 01, 2020 at 13:42
I want to clarify that although I highly admire Brian Kemple, I am not a 'Thomist'. I lean toward Duns Scotus. My main reason for joining this forum i...

I am back now. My lack of dialogue is only because I have a very busy life. Thank you for your insight. I am always open to dialogue and learning from...

It's not psuedo-science. It is mainstream, excepted science. Perhaps someday you'll be ready to accept it.
December 30, 2019 at 21:04
Please refer to the other thread where this is being discussed. It is science, not theory or mysticism.

Speaking of the Islamic world, my pet project now is delving into Henry Stubbe. I recently purchased an amazing written work if his! He is the first t...
December 30, 2019 at 16:06
It requires going back to Scholasticism and delving into understanding Duns Scotus in detail. I am on my phone now, but you are welcome to watch an EX...

I especially like a video and books by Nessa Carey. Her video explains it so well that I added it to my educational playlist. Just search for her name...

This is precisely where humanity has been misguided. There is a third window. Peirce illuminates it.
December 30, 2019 at 15:53
It's clear that there is a difference in how America developed this 'thought' compared to Europe, and it makes sense, since individual and religious f...
December 30, 2019 at 15:02
Thank you for posting it, as I will be avoiding link postings.
December 30, 2019 at 14:44
I appreciate your willingness to help. I can only say that understanding Peirce's thought is very difficult because it does not align with what is typ...

Again, what am I to say other than nominalism and ontological individualism? Duns Scotus? These are my points. You keep asking me for points. I keep g...
December 30, 2019 at 13:59
There is nothing more I can say here, as I'm apparently not allowed to post links to the science. Enjoy the back and forth that seems to go nowhere.
December 30, 2019 at 13:14
Thank you! You are the first person here to logically and intelligently open a thoughtful and potentially fruitful discussion! Your points are good on...
December 30, 2019 at 10:33
I'm here for discussion and dialogue, not debate. I love learning from others through reasonable dialogue. I wasn't trying to plug my website. If we a...

Perhaps it would be better if I were specifically told what it is I am requested to define. What precisely is it in my responses that is not understoo...
December 30, 2019 at 06:45
Another non-reader. Geez! I'm beginning to think that this forum is full of opinionated people with 'fixations of beliefs'. Sad.
December 30, 2019 at 05:33
If it appeases you to take that stance rather than read my posts and the links explaining the biology. So be it. I don't play games.
December 30, 2019 at 05:14
Not a theory. Please refer to my other post that someone said was too long. There are two links there to the science. I don't like to keep repeating m...

What? Lol.. These contrary comments posted toward me are totally irrelevant.

I have found that when someone doesn't understand Peirce, or synechism, they resort to accusations of that nature. I hope you'll decide to learn at so...
