- Nov 12, 2018Paul,I have to acknowledge that yours on my behalf is a help to me. No, I am not backing down but I don't have much to add just now.I am editing, i.e. a bit more than just proof-reading, my chapters on the Judgment just now in my I hope forthcoming Contemplating Hegel's Logic. It all takes time so I have something else to concentrate on.Stephen Theron.From: hegel@yahoogroups.com <hegel@yahoogroups.com> on behalf of Paul Trejo petrejo@... [hegel] <hegel@yahoogroups.com>

Subject: Re: [hegel] Hegel's DashWill,Stephen is specifically responding to Alan Ponikvar, who skillfully pushes Stephen's buttons. I used to feel bad for Stephen, taking all this mockery -- but Stephen has not back down.Obviously, Stephen can take care of himself and needs nothing from me. However, since this banter between Alan Ponikvar and Stephen Theron has raged on for many years on this Yahoo! Hegel List -- and shows no signs of pausing -- I am coming to recognize the humor on Stephen's side as well.Alan is toying with Stephen -- I have no doubt -- but rather than become alarmed, I have concluded more recently that Stephen has also been playing Alan at his own game. Stephen replies to Alan in kind.If Alan's fundamentalist treatment of the Bible would somehow wither away -- then so would Stephen's continual reminders about the great Scholastic Aristotelian writers.Is there any way to separate these wrestlers, after all? But why would anybody want to -- it has made for a lively back-and-forth for more than a decade.Furthermore, as Hegel notes in his LPR3 and LPEG, Christianity is unique among world religions, because Christianity grew up in the centuries in which Aristotelian Philosophy was still growing up. These two children grew up together.All best,--Paul--------------------------------------------------------------------On Saturday, November 10, 2018, 6:05:55 PM CST, eupraxis@...

And he seems utterly incapable of seeing the difference between a philosophy of religion and philosophy-proper. For that matter, either do you. Which has been the point in contention for a few years now! And the recent missives to Alan have been purely religious in nature, even tugging at the heart at times. He seems unaware of it, else why continue with something he surely knows only you enjoy?As for Alan, I hardly think he needs my "stoking".The situation is really quite hopeless.Will - << Previous post in topic Next post in topic >>
