apokrisis

Do you see how you just confused the expectation of being able to rewind (in linear fashion) beyond the Planckscale event horizon with the acceptance ...

But it makes a big difference whether you are imagining extrapolating a line - a linear relation - or instead an asymptotic curve. Do the two parts of...

It’s a good post. You set out the positions clearly. :up: Yes. But my reason for championing Peirce here is his tight focus on the semiotic modelling ...

I don't see much rejection of the key thing that interests me here - a rejection of the primacy being given to a homuncular self, the first person poi...

As I noted at the start, Husserl seemed surprisingly keen to contribute to this misunderstanding then.

The original issue here was phenomenology’s roots in Cartesian dualism and representationalism. Romanticism is then the more general dualistic respons...

I can see you are certainly mucho impressed by your own arguments. But Newton likely had his reasons for distinguishing between vis impressa and vis i...

If you have a problem with the phrasing, best take it up with the dude that wrote the law. Tell him what a dope he is. :lol:

Let Google be your friend….

First you lump and then you split, as suits your rhetorical convenience. Ho hum. I’ve yet to see evidence you understand how it works. So not much to ...

I was talking about the impressed forces of his mechanics. Gravity as Newtonian action at a distance rather than Cartesian corpuscles is another issue...

They are formally complementary modes of description now. Two ways of saying the same thing. Entropy might be composed of an ensemble of microstates, ...

Even great thinkers reflect their social era. Doesn't that prove my point about the social construction of even the most independently minded individu...

I would say this brings out the need to be able to distinguish two varieties of uncertainty. We can be uncertain where we agree that the principle of ...

It is a matter for argument whether those are the right fundamental constructs (they may or may not be). But what is truly fundamental is that dialect...

Of course. The dichotomy is the basis of rational analysis itself. There would be no philosophy without the dialectic. Not making much sense here. If ...

This is Peirce’s pragmatic definition of truth as the limit of rational inquiry by a community of thinkers, by the way. Just saying. :grin: Kelly gets...

Do you believe in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights? That kind of thing. My constraints-based systems approach also stresses the personal c...

Yep. Kelly starts off being quite Peircean, but then drags things off in the direction of pluralism. So we see his good start in grounding his psychol...

You are not getting it, just continuing to impose your own frame of reference on a discussion of Peirce and a triadic systems logic. You continue to f...

You are asking me to repeat whole tracts of Peirce or Rosen who cover these issues of mathematical conception. It is a well traversed terrain. But I w...

:up: Excellent. This is the infodynamical story, as a theoretical biologist might call it.

But it is this search for a static ground that must be rejected, simply because that is already a ground divided by the PNC. What answers better to th...

Peirce had many goes at describing what is a pretty ineffable concept. His incomplete project of creating a logic of vagueness I find the most useful ...

Salthe a socialist? I don’t know as we never discussed politics in that reductive light. And he didn’t shy from making left field identifications with...

Whose Hegel and whose Peirce? Fichte’s Hegel? The Peirce that liked Schelling? The early Peirce that attacked Hegel or the late Peirce who was reconci...

Best quit while you are ahead. The whole left vs right nonsense is a sorry level of analysis. As a systems scientist, my position already starts in th...

I've nothing against Husserl at the general level as a corrective Kantian approach to psychological theory. I agree and say the same things. But what ...

For what it's worth - speaking from my oh so conservative position in the science wars, that I seem to share with some of the least conservative theor...

I'm just playing the game of talking sides - the social acts that construct a self identity. It is more about taking a dig at those who follow him as ...

I don’t get this criticism. You start with a state of vagueness so far as the states of the model are concerned. A blooming, buzzing confusion. Then i...

Well my camp is natural philosophy. So we explain where language comes from as well as how it organises human thought in socially constructed fashion....

Well, he rather messed things up by reversing the order so that being begets becoming. A substance has its potential or properties, rather than arrivi...

What were their names again? And this sounds much like me with biosemiosis. There is what I regard as the inner circle versus the many levels of fello...

It is a logical claim about counterfactuality. When no difference can be found, you have reached the limit in terms of differences. Some statement is ...

I csn’t make sense of your additions.

You are opposing the stored information of the cognitivist with the lived dynamics of the enactivist. But then there is the third option - the one sup...

Haven’t we been through that loop many times already? But I note you correctly put “ground” in quotes. Any notion of the Apeiron is one of a limit. A ...

We are biological beings before we are we linguistic and socially constructed beings. So we start from that neurological level of world modeling like ...

:yawn:

I see how you slid from freewill to other things without even noticing. Sloppy.

The very idea of "physical stuff" is what the idea of "physical patterns" is meant to replace. A metaphysics of stuff can't account for its own origin...

Or maybe you just have a limited grounding in the philosophy of probability? Either that. Or events yet to be determined and hence fundamentally indet...

I am talking about a system of pure self-defining relation in talking about dialectics and semiotics. But that is a positive rather than a negative st...

But language systems can be mathematical. Ordinary language is speech from some social point of view - developed to (re)construct the society that is ...

Or the attempt to explore its limit, don’tcha think? :roll:

:up: Yep. Entropy and information aren’t metaphysical substances. They are inverse descriptions we apply to a natural world we are now coming to view ...

Or maybe freewill is just a cultural meme - a faulty characterisation of a human social construct as something metaphysically fundamental? (Spoiler: T...

Just replace good old fashioned Copenhagen mysticism with new model thermal decoherence and you can tell a story that is safe for physicalism. Will th...

You are pretending my position is monistic so that you can counter it with your own monism. But I’ve already said that “feelings” are an interaction o...
