Yes, not only do I appreciate how your view leads to this shift, but that's precisely what I'm trying to hone in on. Like Von Neumann's measuring tool...
I guess this is my sticking point - maybe I'm not thinking about it the right way - but if we're talking about a theory of everything (or something th...
It wasn't about you being stubborn and close-minded and unable to paint with all the colors of the wind. It wasn't nature/machine but stasis/dynamism....
buuut apo, I still don't understand where i levied an 18th century romantic stance othering you as 'mechanistic.' You keep insisting that's what I'm d...
No, I mean I understand the broad difference between mechanic and organic (teleology) and I think anyone who's spent much time on this board has been ...
Yeah, same, it confused me at first and now it just bugs me. It's pretty clear that, for Nietzsche, the eternal return is a thought experiment which s...
If I understand Deleuze correctly ( I'm talking chapter II of DR here) time itself is a kind of traumatic aftershock, the effect of a disrupted equili...
@"apokrisis" could you also maybe shine some light on what you mean by 'mathematical' and 'rigorous'? Generally, when you use these words on the board...
I don't see you - or your sources - as enemies so I don't feel compromised by playing on your field, by your rules. As to the worldview I'm confidentl...
Why 'alternatively'? I don't understand the natural sciences in their broad sweep, but I'm open to the idea that you may. Whatever leads to the model,...
@"apokrisis" *stands up nervously and accepts the mike from the emcee* I haven't read peirce or prigogine and i don't know much about biosemiotics, sy...
"Laying claim is not one phenomenon among others, but the nature of every phenomenon." p.62 I guess, if you wanna go whole-hog immanentist, that the m...
The thing with chapter 1 of Difference & Repetition, though, is that, in it, the concept of selection isn't just a matter of metaphysical methodology....
Butting in here, but I'm in total agreement with this point - what I've experienced in my few 'mystical' moments had a certainty that is, literally, i...
I like the idea of sedimentation, but I'd like to understand it better. Not far into Time Consciousness but it feels like retention is less a razor's ...
It is a good vision - though I think there might actually be something to Barry Etheridge's wild claim that there's nothing here that hadn't already b...
I agree, btw, that retention for Husserl doesn't extend into the distant past, but I think it kinda does in a deep psychological ot even spiritual way...
I think I'm gonna dig into the time-consciousness book a bit - I think Husserl's own account goes against rentention being strictly perceptual, in the...
So yes, I agree with what you've said, and these cases are interesting snd complicate any account of time --but Husserl uses music and past notes to i...
Back to retention then: It seems implausible to me. It's easy to imagine hearing a note out of the blue, but, again, a dominant is relational. There i...
This makes the case excellently that Husserl cannot really mean 'perception' in the traditional sense, but that he simply is using the term to differe...
Stick up for yourself! I stand by my criticisms, but you had something to say about other ways of looking at similar themes. I don't think there's any...
It's hard to answer this because I don't see the difference between the two alternatives. A note is not dominant in-and-of-itself, but only by relatio...
I have no animosity toward your tradition - in fact I have a lot of sympathy - but the packaging of it as an alternative is strange if you dont know w...
if theres one lesson to be learned from this thread, its that 5 or 6 people who appear to have read almost no 'pomo' literature have very strong feeli...
That's fair and I do agree that a strong narrative is a good way of organizing scattered facts and events in order to gain some real insight (provided...
I've seen a few of his other films, I was into him a lot as an undergrad. The problem is I don't get the sense that the narrator of any Curtis film ha...
I agree and I definitely think he's a cut above many others --buuut, he's still, ironically, guilty of drastic oversimplification - he gets rid of the...
I think, though, that he's trying not to say that the sign, as opposed to presence, is the concept of the origin, but that the sign undermines the con...
I like the idea of Derrida 'inhabiting' Husserl, and I also read V&P that way at the beginning (I called it the 'sussing out of the text's immanent lo...
But take that music example. If we're listening to a piece that began with the tonic, and has moved on to the dominant - in what sense is the tonic 't...
a simpler way to put that last point: If Husserl himself, in later works, undermines that distinction and admits it, then its pointless to try to unde...
I actually sympathize with that Land quote a whole bunch (tho Land himself scares me a lot. He was too smart for his own good and went too deep down a...
Well first, the very idea of doing something in a single moment already strikes me as viewing things through an artificial lens. Any action I can thin...
! But the way you're using 'perceptive' here is precisely Derrida's point when he says, apropos of Husserl characterizing retention as 'perceptive' im...
But I'm not talking about expectations you explicitly call to mind (imagining meeting a friend tomorrow, anticipating traffic during the morning commu...
It doesn't seem that contentious to me. I find it very difficult to imagine an experience where I'm not implicitly anticipating what's to come. It's n...
I've honestly kind of lost the plot - sometimes it all seems to hold together, for a second, but then I lose it. All I have, at this point, is somethi...
Somewhere or other Cioran wrote about his experience of seeing Beckett on a parkbench and feeling deep envy at how much more Beckett exuded suffering....
