An example of how real methods serve a conventional orientation of Being
Quote quoted From “Race Matters”. By Cornel West. Used without permission. Of course race is a very central issue in the Western Hemisphere; I believe it is a central issue in many places across the globe as well. So, I support Professor West’s critical assessment. However, I bring in this excerpt as an example of…

Problematizing Whiteness; Correlation and the Two Routes.
In my very early and preliminary reflections on whiteness and being white it seems obvious to me that two issues are present in the philosophical reckoning. 1) The theoretical postmodern maxim of discursive reality. And 2) The fact that no human Being is actually white. At best, even an albino is not truly white. If…

The Extensions of Denial: Philosophy of the Real and Addiction.
unfinished notes… On the possibility of philosophy: Philosophy, which once seemed outmoded, remains alive because the moment of its realization was missed… …This describes the same situation as ‘the philosophical revolution’… …The summary judgement that it had merely interpreted the world is itself crippled by resignation before reality, and becomes a defeatism of reason after…

The Story; On the Big Story: An Aphilosophical Non-philosophical Philosophical Rendition.
Let’s see how much people like stories. I investigate here the Big Story of the Bible as it may concern human history. I will try to fill in the Story with what I see as human course. In a way, it is a story of the Big Story, which amounts, I guess, to a type…

The Impossible; part 2.
I am offering nothing new. Yet, it seems that very few people have understood what has already been told. The fact that most people want and expect something new shows, in relief, that a new configuration of terms is needed, but I am quite sure that what is impossible again will be put into good…

Post-post-modern-modernism: The Mistake of Irony; Or, The Ironic Mistake.
Perhaps a little bitty on postmodernism and the, what could be labeled of our current situation, post-post-modern-modernism. Here are a couple links that roughly define the conventional problem I will address in this essay. The first is a little less ridiculous than than the second. The first offers us an argument for why postmodernism is…
