Stef's Blog Pragmatism Phil3615. Thursday, August 31, 2006. Feel free to criticise or tear down completely, they were pretty experimental, for example I have no idea if you can validly put James' intersecting thought and thing processes on a space-like plane, as I did in the third drawing.). This is a just a diagram of what James describes in 'Does Consciousness Exist? Like distinct activity or thought-world. Or something like that, t. Here's a lot about this one that I don't think works. If along the ye...

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). The first one, with the two intersecting lines, is a fairly direct representation of what James is describing here:. Bergson's image is that of an inverted cone:. So the point is pure...

Blog project for PHIL3615 Pragmatism at the University of Sydney. Monday, August 28, 2006. Epistemology and ontology (just for something light). I've been thinking about how to express this distinction I've been referring to between the epistemological. Level of James' position and the ontological. I think Descartes' is a good point of comparison here. We associate Descartes on the one hand with the cogito. I think therefore I am) and on the other with dualism. Ie is it not truth or a new type of truth?

Philosophy 3615 : Pragmatism: August 2006
http://pragmatismblog.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Philosophy 3615 : Pragmatism. Thursday, August 31, 2006. Week five round up. This week in our discussion it seems that there is quite a bit of confusion about what exactly James' idea is. I think that this is probably due in part to how deeply embedded in us is the idea of the separation between the physical and the mental. But despite uncertainty over exactly what James is arguing in some parts, everyone seems to have a fairly positive opinion of the theory. But I don't think that relational ideas havin...

Blog project for PHIL3615 Pragmatism at the University of Sydney. Friday, October 13, 2006. Dewey v Russell: the poster-boys. Reading the Dewey-Russell exchange always brings up issues of communication-commensurability for me, sometimes quite painfully: it's both very fascinating and a little stressful to watch these two almost. Deliberately miss each others' point or seem to move forward to meet the other half way but argh! It's a trick, they just wanted to get close to use the knife! Now of course neit...

Philosophy 3615 : Pragmatism. Sunday, October 29, 2006. Peirce 'The Universal Categories'. I’ve decided to do question seven, on the topic of reality for my final paper. I’m going to focus on the James articles, but I thought I should quickly go over Peirce’s The Universal Categories. As a point of comparison. In this article Peirce adapts Hegel’s ‘particular categories’. Such as it is, utterly ignoring everything else. That which can’t be extracted the quality of the feeling or sense in itself. As a sid...

Philosophy 3615 : Pragmatism. Saturday, September 16, 2006. More on Peirce coming soon. Or as soon as I find where I put it. Posted by Carolyn @ 11:12 PM. Thursday, September 07, 2006. Following up on James and conciousness. I've been having some issues with my blog mysteriously removing punctuation and duplicating lines in my posts - I cleared things up a bit and it seems to be fixed now. I thought I would follow up on some things from James before getting too far into Peirce. This is probably more appl...

I'm inclined now to agree with Dewey, this idea of Russell's that personal purpose or desire pre-empts the perception of a problem seems temporally retroactive. Causally it seems weird, u...
