That I found a bit rude:
(i) How would I know what Donal McEvoy's time and inclination is? And should
I adapt my posting to his time and inclination?
(ii) I found what I found was a delightful piece of obscure writing,
"Philosophy 4", which, being the title of a book -- a title of a forgotten
book, if
you must -- by a great author was Wisten was -- I felt, in the middle of the
night when I felt like re-typing, to re-type and share with the list.
(iii) Should say sometimes I do post having in mind future references, not
that I'm expecting immediate replies from list-members. And how would I know
that there is a someone who may take the time to comment nicely.
(iv) By opening the post the way he did, as if doing what he did by a kind
of obligation, I must say it took part of my inclination to read his reply. He
objects on minor points -- as to whether it's Collections and Finals, and
does not elaborate on the point of my post, which was to provide a critical
general opinion on philosophical questioning (in official or semi-official
circumstances).
Then I read that C. Bruce is saying that he's a Thumper, Walter that there's
this 'wondrous' "D" botton, and E. Yost, that if I chide I should chide
seriously (the latter point seriously taken, since I do agree with Yost that
"The
Obscure" is possibly an epithet we may apply to Palma -- Herakleitus also
was --, and I did miss Palma's introduction of the enema (If so, that was a
rude introduction of a subject matter)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Cheers,
JL
----------------------------------
PHILOSOPHY 4
1. Thales, Zeno, Parmenides, Heracleitos, Anaxagoras. State briefly the
doctrine of each.
2. Phenomenon, noumenon. Discuss these terms. Name their modern descendants.
3. Thought = Being. Assuming this, state the difference, if any, between
(1)
memory and anticipation; (2) sleep and waking.
4. Democritus, Pythagoras, Bacon. State the relation between them. In what
terms must the objective world ultimately be syated? Why?
5. Experience is the result of time and space being included in the nature
of mind. Discuss this.
6. Nihil est in intellectu quod non prius fuerit in sensibus. Whose
doctrine? Discuss it.
7. What is the inherent limitation in all ancient philosophy? Who first
removed it?
8. Mind is expressed through what? Matter thorugh what? Is speech the
result
or the cause of thought?
9. Discuss the nature of the ego.
10. According to Plato, Locke, Berkeley, where would the sweetness of a
honeycomb reside? Where would its shape? its weight? Where do you think
these
properties reside?
