Since my thread trying to get a discussion going about my book got deleted, I thought I should forward some content of a little more depth to justify the post.

In the first subsection, "The Historical Development Towards Empirical Objectivity", of section 4, "Instincts and Social Constructs", I address the origins of civilized objectivity in antiquity’s philosophy, emphasizing ancient Greek culture’s heavy influence upon Europe’s epistemic foundations. Conditions of both material and conceptual kinds distinguished European empiricism’s decline in the 1st millennium C.E. from its permanent presence starting in the Middle Ages. Strict orthodoxy that dominated for much of the Medieval period gave way during the Renaissance to more progressive philosophy and education, which began to revolutionize the continent’s worldview, making rationality and empirical activity of an innovatively systematic form more widespread, engendering massive shift from regarding the cosmos’ causality as imposed by supracognitive fate towards an outlook conceiving human minds as the locus of our world’s apparent structure and reason the keystone of civilization’s future.

The 18th century European quest for general principles by which to understand human social organization amongst many diverse subcultures gave birth to large-scale historical analysis in academia, apexing as evolutionary theories of ontology, economy, nature and culture, a seminal Hegelianism soon followed by Marxist politics, Darwinist naturalism, and Nietzscheanesque analysis of the mutating memetic psyche, together with many peers throughout the realms of Western intellectualism. At the turn of the 20th century, Western philosophical thought within its progressive subcultural milieu began to crystallize and expand into a system-based civilization, including accelerated theoretical and technological progress, more finely crafted discovery procedures, and a grand synthesis of disparate rationalist and empiricist strands of investigation, which altogether generated the enormous edifice of analytical science centered around quantitative modeling, distributed worldwide and capable of utterly reconstituting our planet’s future. Humanity is still trying to tame the radically transformative social and ecological consequences of these rapid developments, seeking to optimize highly systematic modern collectivism while averting potential for imprisonment in a maladaptive mechanistic nightmare of our own creation as well as destruction from misuse of this growing technical potency.

So even if you want to ignore the following wordpress.com link to my book excerpt: Standards for Behavioral Commitments: Philosophy of Humanism, this is some substance for thought. We can talk about anything philosophy of history related, but you guys should give my book download a look, its free and plenty of great conversation starters! Quantum mechanical consciousness, an evolutionary account of organic perception's origins all the way to modernity's academic discourse, the ethics of cultural progress, you wouldn't believe how much I thanklessly slaved! Feel free to mock if you would like lol
