TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY

Landgrebe and Phenomenological Philosophy of History

Saturday 09 March 2024 is the 122nd anniversary of the birth of Ludwig Landgrebe (09 March 1902, Vienna – 14 August 1991), who was born in Vienna on this date in 1902.

Landgrebe was Husserl’s assistant, and so thoroughly conversant with phenomenology, but Kant and Heidegger may have been equally influential on his philosophy of history. As a phenomenological philosopher of history, Landgrebe sought to identify and free himself from the presuppositions of philosophy of history, hence the requirement to distance himself from traditional philosophies of history.

Don't Assume (Job 32:1-22)

You will say the wrong thing     if you talk too much— so be sensible and watch     what you say. (Proverbs 10:19, CEV)

The Wrath of Elihu, by William Blake, 1805 Finally, these three men stopped arguing with Job, because he refused to admit he was guilty. Elihu from Buz was there, and he had become upset with Job for blaming God instead of himself. He was also angry with Job’s three friends for not being able to prove that Job was wrong. Elihu was younger than these three, and he let them speak first. But he…

The Minimalest, Non-Factual, Argument for the Resurrection

Perhaps, the minimalest, non-factual argument in favor of the resurrection isn't a factual argument at all, but a philosophical one.Perhaps, the minimalest, non-factual argument in favor of the resurrection isn't a factual argument at all, but a philosoph

Thought to be the place of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem Israel The title of this piece is tongue-in-cheek, a play on the “minimal facts” evidence for the resurrection made famous by Gary Habermas. I don’t really have a killer piece of evidence that uses fewer facts (or no facts) that trumps all other arguments. But, maybe I got your attention! As often is the case, my…

Someone like this has already revealed themselves to be a dishonest actor.

For starters, it's a loaded question with an unwarranted assumption built into it.

And secondly it also assumes that there's no legitimate opposition to religion or religious belief, that disbelief in magical nonsense could only come as an unhealthy response to trauma or distress. That belief in supernatural flapdoodle is the default, normal and reasonable, and you must justify why you don't believe, rather than them needing to justify why you should. A denial of their burden of proof.

This sort of nutcase is not worth engaging. They've already displayed their intellectual dishonesty, and despite often claiming to be "genuinely interested" - can't tell you how many times I've seen that - they're not.

Point out their fallacies and send them on their way. They'll act all innocent, but it's as insincere as their opening.

Don't give them oxygen and be done with them.

I know it's Nein lockdown but in practice for me that means I have all CR-related tags blocked so anyway my absolutely out-there theory from the last C3 episode, specifically Allura mentioning the likely change in the weave of magic, is that actually now I do believe in the possibility of Daggerheart Campaign 4 whereas previously I was like eh probably not getting another longform campaign

The Philosophy of Pragmatics

The philosophy of pragmatics is a branch of philosophy that focuses on the study of language use in context, particularly the ways in which speakers use language to communicate effectively and achieve their communicative goals. Pragmatics is concerned with how meaning is inferred from context, how speakers convey and interpret meaning beyond the literal content of their words, and how language is used to perform actions and achieve social purposes.

Key aspects of the philosophy of pragmatics include:

Speech Acts: Pragmatics examines the performative aspect of language, studying how utterances are used to perform actions and bring about changes in the world. Speech act theory, developed by philosophers such as J.L. Austin and John Searle, investigates the illocutionary force of utterances (what speakers do in uttering sentences) and the perlocutionary effects of utterances (the effects they have on hearers).

Implicature and Inference: Pragmatics explores implicature, which refers to the meaning that is conveyed indirectly or implied by an utterance beyond its literal meaning. Philosophers analyze how hearers infer implicatures based on conversational context, background knowledge, and pragmatic principles. Gricean maxims, formulated by philosopher H.P. Grice, outline principles of conversation that guide speakers and hearers in cooperative communication.

Presupposition: Pragmatics investigates presupposition, which refers to the assumptions that speakers make about what their interlocutors already know or accept as true. Philosophers examine how presuppositions are conveyed linguistically and how they affect the interpretation of utterances.

Context and Contextual Meaning: Pragmatics considers the role of context in shaping meaning and interpretation. Philosophers analyze how linguistic meaning is enriched or modified by contextual factors such as situational context, linguistic context, and social context.

Reference and Anaphora: Pragmatics explores issues related to reference and anaphora, studying how speakers refer to entities in the world and how they establish coherence and cohesion in discourse through pronouns, demonstratives, and other referring expressions.

Politeness and Face: Pragmatics examines politeness and face-saving strategies in communication, investigating how speakers manage interpersonal relationships and social status through language use.

Overall, the philosophy of pragmatics offers insights into the dynamic and interactive nature of language use, shedding light on how speakers navigate the complexities of communication to convey meaning effectively and achieve their communicative goals.

omg i FEEL you about the asd articles... i'm cuttently studying psychology and THIS makes me wanna go and pursue a job in research after graduating :')

yeah !! you should! i study a very interdisciplinary degree and out of all the fields I study in (ML/phil/psych/neuro) psychology has the most inconsistent, outright harmful, sometimes misinformed-at-best info sprinkled into publications and even lectures and it's a genuine source of frustration ! we need def need more researchers committed to accuracy and fairness and eliminating stigmas, biases, etc. :)

The Divine Teacher and Leader (Isaiah 48:17-21)

I believe in a good God, who genuinely wants people to succeed in life, and will do whatever it takes to help us, doing what is best for us, for our own good.

Thus says the Lord,    your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:I am the Lord your God,    who teaches you how to succeed,    who leads you in the way you should go.O that you had paid attention to my commandments!    Then your prosperity would have been like a river    and your success like the waves of the sea;your offspring would have been like the sand    and your descendants like its…

it’s always a little funny seeing white/western people who are newer to the palestinian cause coming across provocative-to-liberals memes like the steamboat willie “I love hamas” graphic and going “lol imagine dropping this in the family group chat / posting it on Facebook / etc” well yeah I can imagine that. easily. everyone in my family would laugh along. because they are muslim arabs.

not me writing dialogue for characters whose non-thw voices I haven’t heard in any capacity in almost a decade. I am going off of vibes and vibes alone here. And also all the dialogue from all the other httyd book-movie crossovers I’ve read recently. But mostly just vibes.

other notes

not sure what the original production looked like, but in the one i watched, hades was the only white person in the entire show, which felt apt

when orpheus turned around, someone behind me gasped. did they not know? it just makes me think that the ending probably sucks if you don’t know it’s coming going in

applying apologetic methodology

THE GOAL OF APOLOGETICS is to ignite or strengthen faith, not merely bring intellectual persuasion. Regardless of method, the approach must always be conversational, not confrontational. Accordingly, arguments we use in apologetic interactions will vary depending on our audience, focusing on a person’s particular questions and concerns. Even though the word “methodology” (i.e., specific…
