Could we in a sense argue that Kant's work stripped from its later influence as a product to be overcome and transcended by later philosophers like Fichte Schelling and of course Hegel consists of a somehow empty philosophy? Meaning that in very simple terms he reduces Plato's idea of forms to a mere product of our perception (i.e it exists precisely because we can imagine it) but then falls in the pit of pure faith to posit that the pure form does exist but can never be accessed. So my question is....doesn't he do a full circle and find himself in the exact same position he attempts to negat ..read more

p1: effects of physics are neither more true or false then other effects of physics p2: thoughts, evaluations and propositions are effects of phyiscs c: evaluations (effects) and propositions (effects) are not more true or false than other evaluations (effects) and propositions (effects). ~~~~ I think that this breaks the law of non-contradiction as if true, it would mean that nothing is true (or) false therefor it is a paradox and can not be true. There are other logical issues with this in my view, but I wanted to see what you all think of this. :) submitted by /u/skepticalmiller [visit re ..read more

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/social-ontology/ I was reading this for a philosophy of science paper I was doing. In truth I'm closest in my approach to the paper (we're doing philosophy of COVID) to that of the members of the Stanford School of disunity, but even though some of them (Dupré, Hacking) talk about society, neither of them seem to set forth a ontological model as to what society is, and what societal relations constitute in their relations to the objects that society ascribes roles to. Searle, on the other hand, does. Searle sets forth an ontology wherein societal facts exist ..read more

I'm interested in listening to female philosophers whose interests and specialty do not revolve around their sex or gender, who are not part of the latest political / academic trends. Rather, I would like to listen to some female philosophers who focus on more general or broadly-applicable philosophy who are known for being intelligent, well-spoken, well-read etc. submitted by /u/Over_n_over_n_over [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

If I understand correctly (not fact), posthumanism, unlike anti-humanism, redefines humanism as a current, NOT rejecting it. The components of any posthumanism are as follows: post-dualism, post-anthropocentrism, and post-humanism. I am specifically interested in the second point: how does anthropocentrism manifest itself in our society? Why is it so bad, assuming, for example, that non-human animals are going to view other species from their -centered perspective? Do we really need post-anthropocentrism? It would be interesting to hear your interpretation of this point as well. (I can't publ ..read more

I believe that no matter which set of principles or belief systems I use to guide me through life and to live happily/peacefully, everything I believe should be taken with a grain of salt. There’s always someone who could find a reason to disagree or find fault with the value or usefulness of any of my beliefs, so I can’t hold my beliefs as being absolute if they can have legitimate shortcomings. Having shortcomings in beliefs doesn’t make them useless or false, however, just not unquestionably universal, where the merit and scope of any criticisms should be taken into account too. As a resul ..read more

As I delve into more and more philosophical texts, I've noticed a marked lack of authors who are women in my collection. While I am aware that philosophy tends to be dominated by male thinkers, I am certain that there are plenty of women who have put forth valuable philosophical principles of which I am unaware. I would like to add more to my bookshelf so that I may approach philosophical discussions with a diverse set of perspectives. I've recently picked up Simone de Beauvoir, but I was wondering if anyone had some further suggestions! submitted by /u/jess3pinkm44n [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
