Metathought: May 2005

http://metathought.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html

Impressionist Snapshots of Cognitive Life. Wednesday, May 18, 2005. It's been a good long while. I thought on Monday that I'd come up with a new form of disjunctivism about perception, but it turned out that I was making a use/mention error. (Frankly, I'm rather inclinded to believe Michael Thau's Consciousness and Cognition. Posted by Naxos "Nat" Simeon at 11:10 PM. Saturday, May 14, 2005. Confessions of a Realist. I hope this isn't too obscure. As Alex suggests. Posted by Naxos "Nat" Simeon at 2:17 PM.

Einstein’s Dream The Engineering of Lucid Dreams: December 2008

http://theavantgardeexists.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

The Engineering of Lucid Dreams. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”. But I mean why did I see what I saw? 8220;What you saw was for your eyes only. 8220;I still don’t get what you’re saying.”. I was bewildered and shrugged my shoulders at him. 8220;Thus, the ‘for your eyes only’ ex...Just betw...

My thinking, for what it's worth, on this and that. In a complete turn-around from The Last Post (that’s what it’s called), I’m working on an abstract for The Difference that Makes a Difference conference. I sometimes think that the more decisively I make up my mind about something, the better the reasons I’ll soon find for rethinking the decision.). Particularly proud of it, I procrastinated quite drastically then had insufficient time to do a proper job, and. Be Sociable, Share! June 19, 2011. A blog d...

Couch-Leisure and Fulfillment-Leisure | The Productive Philosopher

https://theproductivephilosopher.wordpress.com/2011/06/18/couch-leisure-and-fulfillment-leisure

Productivity for an examined life worth living. Scott H. Young. 18 June 2011 1 Comment. The word ‘leisure’ should not make you think of a sedentary mush wasting her time. It should make you think of a happy and wise person. Her time for something intrinsically worthwhile. The lazy person on a couch wasting time online or idly eating potato chips is not really at leisure. Why does it matter what I do in my free time? Take an example from the 1993 film. Time-wasting is an instrument. So when they have pass...

Tu Quoque: July 2005

http://tuquoque.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html

A Neo-Thomistic blog of philosophy, philosophical theology, and philosophical apologetics. Monday, July 25, 2005. Postmodern Youth Ministry - Tony Jones. Tony Jones wrote a book entitled, "Postmodern Youth Ministries". At first glance I thought the book would be a refutation of postmodernism. Unfortunately I was wrong. In his book, Tony explains, and agrees with, various tenents of postmodernism. He writes:. Things are simply not objectively quantifiable. Chaos and inevitability are the rule, so when...

http://www.robinfaichney.org/index.php/2013/03/21/political-and-personal-independence

My thinking, for what it's worth, on this and that. Political and personal independence. I’m a Buddhist, and believe in avoiding negative speech, actions and states of mind, as far as I possibly can. Prejudice is pernicious, and anger is a poison, in my view, and the taking of political positions seems inevitably to mean entertaining prejudice, anger, disrespect for opponents, etc, etc. But isn’t it worth it, on issues of such importance?

My thinking, for what it's worth, on this and that. Archive for the ‘announcements’ Category. It’s far from perfect, but also the best shot of a solar eclipse I’ve ever managed, by far.

My thinking, for what it's worth, on this and that. Calm down dear…. 8230;it’s only a commercial. Michael Winner. Whose catchphrase that was in a series of television adverts, used to make me really quite angry. It wasn’t just the adverts, he struck me as a genuinely obnoxious character in himself, one of those people you love to hate. I wouldn’t let that happen these days. Why not? Because I’ve calmed down. And I believe that’s quite an important development. Not for anyone other than myself o...I was s...

About | yet another philosophy blog

https://jordandelange.wordpress.com/about

Yet another philosophy blog. Relevant Alternatives and Tracking Views of Knowledge. In this paper I compare Dretske’s Relevant Alternatives and Nozick’s Tracking analyses of knowledge. I illustrate four significant similarities between the two theories, and propose that for a “reasonable believer” the relevant alternatives theory can provide the neighborhoods of possible worlds necessary for Nozick’s account and that both theories make the same ascriptions for knowledge. Bayesian Measures of Confirmation.
