  • The Philosophical Same

    I wonder if people are as into difference as they were 20+ some years ago. I feel like people now-days are more about being the same. Current problem seem to be associated more with being different. For example: the growth of mental issue awareness seems promote solutions toward “connection”, and indeed, medications are more about…

  • The Philosophical Project Concerning the Mental Health.

    I recently submitted a paper to an academic journal. It was denied. Bummer! It uses, I might call, a three-stage, blind review board who reads and assess the papers, who then recommend the paper, yay or nay. They also provide comments as to why they rejected the paper, which I truly appreciated and take to…

  • Abortion! Row: Write a better law.

    Roe v. Wade has been sent to the states, I guess. And will be up for vote in the ballots later this year, I guess. These debates over abortion, I feel, are about religious belief. The arguments that are being made about women’s health are really taking shape around the battle of religious belief, rather…

  • Rp and comment on La ruelle (I think he meant François Laruelle, but maybe la ruelle has significance !)

    A storm is coming in. I haven’t written much in the past year; often I hesitate to write at all. Yet, we may surmise a good reason to write and to … La ruelle —-Hopefully, taking this in-the Spirit, that is intended, I will have a Comment. For now, perhaps read his first…. ___________________________________________ I…

  • Post-modernism’s Worth. 

    When we are too close to an event, we talk about it as from a distance. That is, what we say is automatically distanced from the event, a maximum distance. The event is thus, by this occurrence, an object. As opposed to our psychotherapeutic model, the closer we are to an event, the more dishonest…

  • The Impossible.  Part 1. 

    The impossible can be discovered along many significant vectors of reality as limit. The particular discussion that contains or otherwise accounts for the various vectorial meanings is ironic; it is the event that begins the count, that can be said to to be a basis upon which a linking of meaningful terms is made that…

  • Repost: The Significant Event, part 1

    [it appears that the most recent wordpress update has strung all the paragraph breaks together.  So its like one long run on paragraph now. But the *’s  do indicate a break.] Significance. What we can call the Romance is based upon and or around what I call the significant experience, which falls well in line…

  • Intensionality

    Contrary to Hersserl and those phenomenal agents, intension is not centered in some thoughtful subject; it is centered in the object. This is the essence of the meaning of multiplicity. There is no origination of thought in a central, unitive subject agent of transcedence. There is only the fullness of imminent existence taking place in…

  • The Matter At Hand, Part 1: Post-Modernism, Artificial Intelligence, the Conventional Limit, and Object Oriented Ontology.

    From reading an essay a few days ago, I was reminded of The Postmodern Generator. You can go read a good essay at: http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/ Now when I say ‘good’ I mean it can make sense. If you have never heard of it, or didn’t read the very end of the page, the PM Generator is…

  • SE part 10ai, part B: The Revolution Will not be Televised (nor disseminated in virtual media or social networking sites).

    SE part 10ai, part B: The Revolution Will not be Televised (nor disseminated in virtual media or social networking sites).

    I suppose the question left is a trick question because one cannot dismiss the link already established between philosophy and ideology and politics; there is indeed reality to be dealt with. The question behind philosophical learning has to do with if it has already been or is being dealt with by the historical discourse, if…
