Re: Philosophers on the Beach
In everyday life, people see my brain turning over and rarely take me on. I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert... Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold comman...

Re: Philosophers on the Beach
But the opposite of realism is antirealism!The opposite of Idealism, if you need one to caricature philosophy is REALISM, not materialism.

Re: Recommendations for a 1st Year Undergraduate
Sorry Arising. Don't understand what you mean by this. Can you explain?Makes a bit of a mockery about his subject matter then don't you think?

Re: Recommendations for a 1st Year Undergraduate
I disagree, always read the primary texts first, whether they make sense or not, just make it to the end, especially with the continentals as they write such that they build the argument up to its conclusion, not state their conclusion and then justify it. My advice with some of the continentals is...

Re: aphilosophy
Surely talking about aphilosophy on a philosophy forum is precisely the sort of thing that aphilosophers should eschew. To all you aphilosophers out there - go and do some gardening!

Re: Sci-Fi authors
China Mieville's The City and the City is excellent. A cross between Philip K. Dick and Raymond Chandler. I'm trying to read Kraken at the moment but it's heavy going. His editors should have had a word about not trying to cram too many ideas into one book.

Re: can men be feminists
Sorry. The game's up. I suggested at the top of the page that you might well be a talented writer, presenting, for some reason, the views of a willy-waving adolescent lad pretending to more education than he's actually got. Now, alas, you demonstrate that you are the real article. At this point, i ...

If you have to be a woman to be a feminist then I don't hold out much hope for the future of animal rights. Woof woof.

Re: Review: Rousseau's Dog
Fair enough. But some of us prefer things that are hard to read and full of babble!Neither is there any sweeping generalisation. I was making a specific comment about how any 'more' academic approach would deal with this topic, specifically.
