You do realize that the suffering genius thing is heavy - just dripping - with self-consscious posturing, right? It's baffling me that you would cite ...
Interesting - in those photos I see, in order: Cosmopolitan sophisticate, suffering genius (the romantic rehashing of the 'saint'), and bedroom eyes/s...

I hear you - I'd like to go into what I get out of the commentary (and how it often goes beyond commentary) but it'd take us a bit too far afield, may...
Oh, I wasn't saying there's nothing of value in analytic philosophy, just that it seems to have a very different kind of relationship with its forebea...
Hey, to be fair, you yourself likened the passage to madness. (couldn't help myself there, I do see where you're coming form) There is a lot in contin...
This seems pretty spot on to me. The voice isn't exhaustive of my experience, I would add, but it's definitely usually there. The puppet/ventriloquist...
Not to get too deep into it, and get too off topic, but when I look into myself, I find...well yes a soul, or personality, but it's something like - i...
I definitely don't have a voice that exhaustively narrates everything I experience, but I do find, if I pay close attention, that there's usually a so...
Yeah, and that actually makes sense to me intuitively. I suppose the next step would be that if imagined and actual discourse are the same thing, by i...
Just spitballing here, but maybe the idea is that, since the word is ideal in both actual and fictional discourse, language functions the same way whe...
To add to that, you'd mentioned, much earlier in this thread, sentences used to teach another language. Barthes has an interesting passage on this in ...
I don't know if that is the point, but it does seem plausible me that a sign always indicates --maybe not the entirety of the symbolic system to which...
yeah, i guess I wasn't looking at as something that simple or commonplace, but that makes sense - and you're right, it's eminently doable. But now I f...
yes, it's definitely an oversimplification - I have no idea how accurate it is - but the things someone does under a deeper guiding passion can have t...
Regardless of whether expression is mysterious, though, Husserl treats it mysteriously. My impression of the structure of 'essential distinctions' in ...
I want to recap my understanding of chs. 1-4 very simply to see if others agree with this interpretation. Husserl sets out to determine what a "sign" ...
This goes beyond the scope of this thread, but I don't much sympathize with this way of looking at things. It's only if one takes on a Husserlian view...
Which is the same as saying that a 'full instantiation' would be be irretrievable and unrepeatable, no? It strikes me that, if one wants to shift thin...
First, let's talk about sarcastic, dismissive tenor. You've mentioned that I was being a bit of a dick. That's true. But I think it's equally true tha...
You've recognized the sarcasm, but you've misidentified the source. Obviously you've no reason to read the Voice & Phenomena thread, but, if you had, ...
Oh, you're british? My mistake, I thought you were american too - Certain americans use british or archaic terms as substitutes for words that mean li...
I think I've found one! His name is schopenhauer and he says this: "That a priority finds its confirmation every moment in the infallible security wit...
Oof battery acid AND chemical fire? Postmodernists must be very bad indeed! Tell me, what is a postmodernist? How do I recognize one in order that I m...
Time-consciousness has always been the most intriguing part of Husserl for me, but, though I own it, I've yet to read his work on the subject. I only ...
What must your inner life be like in order to do this - and to believe absolutely in it? I'm aware of how reductive this sounds, but it just feels lik...
yeah, idk, I'm fine with nonlinearity -usually prefer it actually - but I look to literature or avowedly experimental philosophy when that's what I'm ...
You may be right, but I haven't read beyond chapter 4, and can't find this idea there. That's true, but earlier they were more like coquettish teasers...
I'm not trying to say that Derrida isn't touching on things that are deeply part of Husserl's philosophy - I'm just trying to understand how the first...
It's interesting, if you read about the experience of growing up in the Wittgenstein family, how little they were allowed to express emotion - and how...
I wonder if the examples of exceptional words you cite points less to a problem with possible repetition and more to a problem of access. Certain peop...
I'll put together a more thorough response later this evening, but, I don't understand how the possibility of indefinite repetition occludes my death....
whoa what a shift with this chapter - I take back what I said earlier about the soliloquy chapter in LI - I've read it 10x now and it really is a bott...
when i do this same experiment, it's very strange. I have all sorts of attendant dreamlike images. I have the same sort of linguistic breakdowns too. ...
That's perfect (let me build on what you've said about Derrida and language) How do you? Would most competent english speakers agree? Would this be po...
I don't know Husserl as well as you, but I do know him well enough to agree with your comments about his often solipsistic tenor. What I meant, though...
Grammatically, I think he's saying something like: "that (approach/stance/method) which makes it possible to consider indication as extrinsic, is also...
Are you reading V&P? If you're looking for clarification to better understand the book, that's great, but, if not, it might be better to bring this up...
This isn't totally relevant, but I thought it was funny: The introduction to Strategies of Deconstruction includes a gallery of existing interpretatio...
My copy of Logical Investigations mentions another book that includes a close (though critical) reading of V & P (one chapter for each chapter of V&P)...
