Women, small boys, and fish. Thursday, October 05, 2006. Tute Presentation: The Relationship of Thought and its Subject Matter. Having finished scaring my friends with sentences from Dewey's "The Relationship of Thought and its Subject Matter", such as. We think about anything and everything".

"we recognize a certain rhythm of direct practice and derived theory; of prim...Dewey...

Women, small boys, and fish. Tuesday, September 12, 2006. Picking at the carcass of lecture 7. There were just a couple of scraps from the last lecture that I wanted to think more about:.

Women, small boys, and fish. Sunday, August 13, 2006. Free Will vs Fatalism with Pragmatism refereeing.

Blog project for PHIL3615 Pragmatism at the University of Sydney. Sunday, September 03, 2006. Pictures of consciousness-reality: Bergson's cone. Stef posted some very impressive graphic interpretations of James' position in "Does consciousness exist". Not to take anything away from the art brut. Charm of Carolyn's drawing).
