What characterizes the mindset associated with honesty? -Tom Storm
“ Can you reframe what you said in more direct language?”
-Tom Storm
“ my question is what is a mindset? How are you using this word? Is it personality or worldview or a habitual disposition?”
The question revolved around determinism versus the free will issue, and the pre-cultural, age that didn’t concern with the psychological aspects that a mind set had to contend with, ergo the affect/effect dualism could not have said to have occurred as dualism, in those times.
The reasons for this the movement away from deontology per solidly grounded rules by which causation could be presumed to play a part,(effect); except by relevance to spatial relationships that could literally judge a ground relating to actual causes effecting actual observable witnessed events.
That example at a certain time transformed into the movement of relationships between the observable which became slowly understood as the original event which must have been the earliest non observable event.
The transformation into the critical phase, where everything became doubted, became an extreme shift to support that ‘Whole’ that became synonymous with God and which was supported by that type of reasoning.
The transformation for ‘affect” from ‘effect’ was the result of such critical thinking, converting the original spatial , defensive territorial protection of early cave men referred to, to the evolution of the spiritual defensiveness of a generic, out of the cave protection against the natural elements and it’s supernatural counterparts.
The reach for this security , once it’s absolute manifestation has been shown to consist of a singular event, found that acknowledgement eroded over time, and the new vision required new sources of power to take up the slack.
Simulation toward that goal again turned 180 degrees toward negating that threat as an unproven absolute, and thereby dialectical logic replacing the loss by processing data through natural to artificial means .
The mechanistic reformation of a material exclusivity, changed simulation of events into a link between nature and it’s axiomatically reactive vindication of it’s effectively described transformation to an affective equivalent.
I am embarrassed for the expansion to more volume and perhaps more confusion, and my only defense is the unavailability of prior discussions .
If this be the case, I must attest to my ability to recall subtle nuances that can not ‘naturally be accounted for.
To sum up, to answer your question, it is dispositional that is, a deontological movement of willfully disposing the three elements of personality, general disposition and a particular world view into the singular content , a de-differentiated phrase denoting the three in one concept of ‘state of mind’ a melange, a sentiment, encapsulating more of a feeling state , which Sartre’s ‘self thought man’ had expressed as a nausea .
