@Daniel Bonevac which books and papers did you use as sources for this video lecture?
@PhiloofAlexandria3 жыл бұрын
Mostly “How to Make Our Ideas Clear,” but also other writings of Peirce. My interpretation has also been influenced by Kevin Kelly’s work on inductive methodologies.

There is a difference in meaning, but no difference in meaningfulness, whether or not God's properties are essentially identical or distinct. Obviously, there is a difference in conceptual meaning, otherwise no controversy would arise in the first place as to which conception of God is true. However, so long as all the properties are the same set of properties in both conceptions, there is no difference in the meaningfulness of these conceptions for our lives. The fundamental mistake of Pragmatism is to confound conceptual meaning with practical meaningfulness.

Is the difference between purse and Hegel that Purse was content with what he had, providing it remained true?
@PhiloofAlexandria Жыл бұрын
A major difference is in the principles governing the dynamics. For Hegel, it is rather mysterious laws of the unfolding of Spirit. For Perice, it's scientific method. Also, Hegel is committed to Spirit as a thing; I don't see Peirce as committed to any underlying metaphysical unity.

Pragmatism is anathema to philosophy 😂. Is an anti-philosophical attitude parading as a philosophy. Which itself relies on pragmatism to be accepted as a philosophy. There is really nothing more anti philosophical than to just go with it and dont think about it too much. 😂 what are you at the wrong club? 😂

Needs actual EXAMPLES of how "pragmatic" philosophy yields better results. Certainly a DISASTER in education.

@@Sazi_de_Afrikan Dewey's "experimental" school was mainly composed of children of university professors, with like 1 teacher for 8 students. And they STILL had to learn math and how to read and write at home. Having students lead themselves in education -- or just about anything else -- is most definitely NOT pragmatic. See: all known societies.

I received my 1st Grade education in a Magnet school. I remember a few things, but I'll never forget how I learned: everything was by practice. Memorizing concepts and vocabulary was an unnecessary task. All it mattered was that I knew how to express myself eloquently to an audience and know the subject I am talking about. I remember doing things as simple as grabbing a plush toy (I mostly picked a penguin or polar bear) and talked about the animal and where it was from, as well as talking about the habitat and conditions they lived in. Just recently I reminisced about my education in that Magnet School in Montgomery, Alabama. I was taught, by sheer practice, the basic steps of the scientific method. It was something that came naturally from the teachers to us, students. This is pragmatism: practically showing knowledge. It doesn't matter how much you memorize (or well, it is necessary but at a more suitable stage), so as long as you can eloquently express your (accurate) knowledge in a convincing and confident manner. You cannot blow smoke out of your ass, nor you can have a lot of knowledge but also carry the crippling inability to work with other people in a team to produce a scientifically pertinent project. You must be both, and by sheer force of practice (and pragmatic inquiry) people learned. I don't know about US schools nowadays, but internationally, US schools were characterized by this: showing things the practical way. If you do not believe me, then Kuhn's Scientific Revolutions are, imho, a really good example of pragmatic philosophy. And his work is no "disaster". I find his work very reliable when teaching about evolution and progress on *many* subjects. Albeit elusive at times, the concept of a "paradigm" can work wonders and I also see that one as a solid example of pragmatic philosophy.
