I'm about as much a proponent of 'the analytical form' as I am a coconut. What I am against however, is the peddling of ignorance by the ignorant and arrogant. — StreetlightX
There is nothing to deal with. You're speaking at a level of generality so broad as to be useless. There's no there there. — StreetlightX
No, I consider these 'invalid' because 'the analytical form' corresponds to nothing but a fantasy that exists nowhere but in your head. — StreetlightX
Analytic philosophy, I think, hasn't really been a thing for some time now. — Srap Tasmaner
(And the same with "continental philosophy.") — SophistiCat
From my position, all philosophers are not necessarily nice people. — Olivier5
a narrow-minded use of philosophical talent, that is generally used as a posture rather than to do any actual productive work — Olivier5
It has a multitude of styles and approaches. — StreetlightX
I wouldn't find this an acceptable way to talk about "modern philosophy" or "Marxist philosophy" or "feminist philosophy" or "German philosophy". — Srap Tasmaner
es, this kind of 60,000ft view is made for outsiders and neophytes to satisfy a misplaced craving for generality. It takes the ignorant or the impudent to think anything substantive can be said on the basis of it. — StreetlightX
You demonstrate exactly what I've been saying, a bias for the Analytical Form — JerseyFlight
I responded with an argument and evidence demarcating the Analytical Form — JerseyFlight
It sounded to me like you said the great bulk of philosophy written in English in the last century was
a narrow-minded use of philosophical talent, that is generally used as a posture rather than to do any actual productive work
— Olivier5
I'm not being super-subtle here. — Srap Tasmaner
A fallacious appeal to authority is not 'evidence'. It's laziness and shitty pseudo-scholarship three times over. — StreetlightX
I literally do not know what you mean by this. — Srap Tasmaner
I wouldn't, because there is no singular 'analytical style'. As if something as ephemeral as 'style' determined anything at all in the first place. — StreetlightX
Analytical philosophy conducts conceptual investigations, specifically into linguistic, idealistic logical structures. — JerseyFlight
Word salad pretending to be meaningful speech. — StreetlightX
It's the common sense of grown-ups. — Srap Tasmaner
Olivier5's opinion is that Hegel was a poseur. That strikes me as idiotic whether Hegel's your guy or not. — Srap Tasmaner
For example, Hegel, Wittgenstein, Derida have done more harm than good to society with their thinking, in my view. Because their thinking was wrong and yet people adhered to it.
They might have been very polite, so if you judge by that, they were good guys, but their words did some damage nevertheless, in my judgment. — Olivier5
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
