Enlightenment Deconstruction: The Light of Objectivity: Homo-subjectivus
http://enlightenmentdeconstruction.blogspot.com/2009/05/lights-of-objectivities.html
Friday, 1 May 2009. The Light of Objectivity: Homo-subjectivus. A particular poetic definition was conveyed and has now propagated onto here: "Objectivity is out there and we as a people or a species are on our way to there. We realise ourselves as a people and species when we reach objectivity; we betray ourselves as a people (and as species? When we turn from it." (Asabiyah, 29/4/09). Predictability could be one, often explained by causality. The more uniformly something behaves, the more apparentl...

http://impurereason.blogspot.com/2008/08/pragmatics-of-multiple-brief-sketch.html
Spelunking through culture and society, art and science, religion and politics. Friday, August 8, 2008. A Pragmatics of the Multiple: A Brief Sketch. In a private correspondence, Yusef (of The Enlightenment Underground. Suggested the term "a pragmatics of the multiple" for what I want to do here - a term which I'm happy to accept! The latter, the metaphysics of unity, is the demand to locate the correct way of speaking - the way of speaking that fits. The world, which shows us how the world really. I alw...

Spelunking through culture and society, art and science, religion and politics. Saturday, July 5, 2008. In a comment below, Kirby wrote:.

Spelunking through culture and society, art and science, religion and politics. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Science, Religion, Metaphysics: Some Preliminaries. Much like Richard Rorty, Hilary Putnam, Stanly Cavell, and Jurgen Habermas, I want to find a way of resisting the temptation to endorse or create a doctrinal metaphysics - not even a metaphysics of becoming, process, or "difference" in the senses of Nietzsche, Dewey, Whitehead, or Deleuze. (Despite my strong affinity for such metaphysics! For only whe...

Spelunking through culture and society, art and science, religion and politics. Saturday, July 26, 2008. In a comment to Intelligent Design and Evolution. 8220;Given what you've said above, about the status of intelligent design as a scientific theory (i.e. that it has none), should we conclude that it therefore should be denied a voice within a science classroom? 8221; Well, look at it this way. Do you want me to teach French in your chemistry class? What purpose would that serve? I suppose I'm feeling ...

Spelunking through culture and society, art and science, religion and politics. Saturday, February 24, 2007. How Do We Believe? If, like me, you're one of those "secular-progressives" that Bill O'Reilly is warning us about, you may be slightly alarmed about recent surveys which indicate that, not only do 95% of your fellow Americans believe in a God ("of some kind"), but that 55% accept a literal interpretation of the Bible, just under half believe that humans and dinosaurs co-existed, usw.
