    From the page: "So Anonymous, if we didn't have anything good to say these last eight years it is because there was nothing good to say during these last 8 years. Nothing.

    And if you don't like what I have to say then you can kiss my 83 year old ass because on this blog I am the decider. I mean it. Really."

    A Beloved Icon of what SU has always been about, has passed away... if it werent for "squirt" (known as tops these past couple of years), the "New England" forum I started would not have had any life whatsoever ... he helped me and was kind to me in many ways for the time Ive been here on SU... I lost touch for these past many months, but he still has a place in my heart ... RIP squirt...

    It seems...

    it seems we either want to talk about some thing-of-life or another, in order to find out- or we want to talk about things to find out we were right...

    this is oh so very tricky...

    I beg of you to know which one of these has come to the meeting...

    just knowing which one has come to the meeting is enough...

    compassion will know what to do from there...

  • SU Philosophy: What is the future of Philosophy?

    Rated Dec 30 2008 • 1 review • stumbleupon.com



    See this post,



    Morosoph wrote-
    "The near future of philosophy will be the continued unpicking of analytic philosophy in order to reveal just how much its purported rigour is just a cover for another set of biases. Certainly there is value in it, but it has no flesh: analytic philosophy is a matter of rejecting meaning as a human means the term for a shallower conception of meaning that leaves the reader unsatisfied.

    This would almost be fine if there were no meaning to be had; then philosphy would be a matter of slowly waking up to nihilistic reality, but analytic philosophy doesn't even address that well: the way in which it handles meaning is by rejecting that which cannot easily be put into words, and expressed mathematically.

    After the boldness of the 20th Century, analytic philosophy lives on as a kind of pedants' corner. Unfortunately, logical positivism, having engendered a general cleanup of thought across disciplines, now leaves large areas of study distinctly less human in its wake.

    Beyond philosophy, we have Dennis Skinner's influence upon psychology, leading to perverse failures to understand conditions of mind, since all that is deemed real is the externally measurable. This means that if one condition obscures another, where the second would be said to occur in the general population under the same circumstances, the second is said not to occur in this case, which cannot be the conservative assumption. This kind of thinking results in a general inhumanity in caring for people.

    That is only one example, there are many fields that need rehumanising. This, I would suggest, is philosophy's most urgent task. But it is only the beginning of the process, since purported rigour feeds the cult of "expertese"; experts will be lothe to overturn the methodological aloofness that is intrinsic to their own social status. The war needs to be won in every discipline, so that the hardening arteries of positivism can be countered early in each student's development."

        "Lets Broaf!" the Hingmen cried, "and slate with fine lament!" So off to Crackotu they plied, to pray for Brove'sament

        "Hingman one and Hingman all" became their dearest voor- should any Hingman clay his fall, the rest will clamor shoor

        "Het ses be'drue?" did once the Graf, ahear upon his vow- whence should the sons of Flaavux cry and wholestead beads allow

        "They come with might and verify, their Wharshipway smight deem- if any Hing can feel his groat, let Wharflung bade his dream"

        Dutybrung and flimeybound the Graffight fraked with blaught- should Hingkind well the Wharflown way, havocious cringe distraught

        "Spirick well and flayr thee not- we havyet forn the blade- Once these Gringkund savankplots have eat of our hurrade!"

        Thorey means and duty broughs were every Grafs huuroh - but on this dor the Grings flyrwund, allay the Graf shour woe
