They are working outward from Husserl's phenomenology. Husserl, for me, made a profound discovery. Of course, this is something that had been in place...
Hurt? Problem? What is it about these that make the matter an issue at all? I am looking not at these contingencies. One can, in this line of thinking...
I think you are right say it polarizes the world. But hmmmmm: failing to reduce the basis of quality-value enough. This is puzzling. Value as a deriva...
But this is about badness "as such". The phenomenon of badness, the touching the flame and the ouuuccchhh! Clearly, anything can be contextualized. La...
To find the originating content is not so far flung. Just observe the pain in your finger as the lighted match burns, or the love of another. Observe ...
Also begs the question: Chaos and confusion are, well, bad. Why? This is the true course of philosophical inquiry, isn't it? Follow the rabbit down th...
But then, the trick is to define, make accessible to the understanding in language and logic, what is not contingent. I think what you say is quite ri...
Well, you should know that enlightenment isn't JUST a narrative. Even narratives are not just narratives. When we understand a narrative, we can ask q...
Jung was a psychologist, notwithstanding his unorthodox claims. I want to look prior to this, logically prior, into the thought that puts the idea the...
A Buddhist monk would disagree. Perhaps what is familiar is an entangled affair. In it, about it, one can inquire. Maybe the world is deeply grounded ...
I don't see pragmatism entering into it. Dewey and co. would have nothing to do with this. Rorty included. No, this is an honest observation. Observe ...
Forget about Jung, even if Jung said some excellent things. The measure of their excellence begins with what can be affirmed in the structure of the m...
I say, think of metaphysics as an "Other" that confronts the inquirer with as much vigor as anything else. It is the ideatum that exceeds the idea; th...
But then, all this talk about light and darkness itself is an imposition of thought upon the world, as if the world possessed something of their value...
You seem to think that space is something that is there in the world which one can observe and talk about its properties, as a scientist might talk ab...
"S knows P" is the disputed propositional form. The trouble with this piece of silliness is that the integrity of 'P' is simply an assumption. There i...
But I am the OP. I like atheists, and you are one I assume from your moniker. But I like them because they have at least begun to second guess orthodo...
Oh. Well, you did bring in science for your basic explanatory context, and I wanted to point out that the philosophical, as I argue, take on the world...
But the Concept of Anxiety is Hegelian,and ny this I mean while criticising Hegel, he uses the dialectical method to reveal existential structure of t...
Ah, but the beginning of an utterance? It implies creation is a narrative. Is this true? (Put temporal beginnings off the table. After all, "time" is ...
It like asking when the first words appeared. Language arrived as a pragmatic, social event, presumably on the heels of more primitive practices burie...
And so, this kind of reflection tells you what about the essential encounter of things in the world? It is not that language is to be discarded, for o...
But you have to ask the Derridean question: When one says words, how do these stand alone as a reference to something? Does the term 'moon' really ref...
Typical, really. If you want to take the matter to the level where questions become philosophical, then, and I don't think this is a debatable point, ...
This is where you have to comes to terms with reality: The only non quantifiable theory of information there can be, is the art experience itself. You...
"But then, life and death qualitatively has nothing whatsoever to do with actuarial tables. This is why your announcement that art in information offe...
What is art? Information. What is life and death? An actuary table. I thought this clear: The latter is meant to be analogous to the former in that it...
Heh, heh, careful what you call old. Speaking for myself, the post, post modern works that have a lineage that reaches back to Kant, through, Hegel, K...
But what does this mean? Solidity? Truth? These are meaningless without context, even if the context is talk about acontextuality, which would need fu...
Lots of metaphors in there. Perhaps you could say it in straight prose. Doing this, using language with as much clarity as possible, without yielding ...
Not to provoke, but just a quick note: this cart before the horse? The real construction of horses and carts lies in the hor-ca-se-rt. This is phenome...
As for me, I don't think you overstep at all. It is rather welcome, and this is because, while I don't attend much to religious scriptures, I do take ...
Circular in that a pragmatic theory of knowledge knows no way out. Peirce was the only one who had this "long run" part of his thesis that suggested t...
No worries Pop. I think you're qualifiedly wrong here, wrong in spades there, but you hold the fort pretty well. Looking forward to future posts, but ...
But the reductive direction of this for a human being is appalling. Surely you see that, even while you want to allow consciousness its breadth and de...
Not my post. No matter. So you're saying the art object (not art) is reducible to a transcendental information bearing medium. This turns the object i...
The reason art cannot be given a definition is that art is affect-entangled, and entanglements are arbitrary, meaning there is nothing in affect that ...
Enactivism? If a person wants to examine at the basic level the interface between things and their subjective counterparts, one will NEVER be able to ...
But the art object did not carry or transfer or simply "inform" about something else. Rather, when the art object is absent, and one is left with the ...
And Rorty would agree with you, as long as you are not stepping into metaphysics. His pragmatism, at the level of basic questions, agrees with Heidegg...
You mean it "informs" which is does. But you are bypassing the point: That thing out there is not nor ever was independent of what is "in here" Well, ...
Just to add: Rorty thought things could be reconciled pragmatically. I look at him like this: there are no absolutes for, in good old Hegelian fashion...
Why, RussellA, you surprise me. That IS the question. It is the issue of "presence" or the metaphysics of presence, which issues from the assumption t...
I don't buy any of this. The question of art lies with one question: is there anything that is both the essence of art, what makes art, art, and absol...
It is not that art is not information. It is about whether the art object is nothing but information, such that the thesis, "Art is information" holds...
