'Jays01 is a fool', is not moral language. Nor is 'Jays021 is ugly'. Jays01 is a shit' is, on my understanding.<br>The position you are expressing is ethical ...
Isn't one of Nietzsche's foremost critiques of science that what appear as neutral "statements of fact" are actually moral statements: in other words, that ...
If you reject Nietzsche's primary distinctions as "philosophically crude" then you miss the whole point of his work. If you want to talk about the "ought" and ...
I can understand the idea that there are no neutral statements of fact. But does that therefore make them moral statements? In the starightforward sense there...
Isn't discussion supposed to entail an exchange of different positions? <br><br>Why should one want to found a club and encounter diverse opinions and ...

From what you've posted, it seems that Kojeve must have had an acute sense of the role he was playing. That's how eminences grises become so grises.<br>There...
My working definition of postmodern comes from art, which is no doubt shallow and inappropriate. Simply beyond the hubris of the modern. Where the whole of...
Ok. But then you have to define the modern. And that's where postmodernism collapses: its theorists inevitably give a flimsy interpretation of what the...
Yes, postmodernism collapses like the house of cards it is. It *supposed* to collapse. That's part of its charm. What next is the question. Or Laurie ...
