A disconnect is enacted in the postmodern conception when it views the bases of Kantian ontology as up for question. The problem exists in a tension that is innate to existence itself so long as existence is like wise extended into a specific metaphysical space of inution on one hand, and Intensionality in the other. In this way we might find the parameters of modern thinking. But due to this parametric, due to its imperative (as opposed to its contingency), the description of the situation divides meaning from itself.

About this blog

Essays in mental health philosophy—less “tips,” more why things work (or don’t). I look at the first principles under therapy, psychiatry, psychology, and everyday life, and occasionally share notes from papers and books-in-progress.

This space stands alongside—not inside—my counseling practice. If you’re seeking therapy in Colorado, there’s a link in the footer.
