Paul HealeyWhich categories constitute the foundation of the concept? A cheeky anti-academic question, as philosophy has been carved at the joints by the commentators of its history and the logicians that endlessly reinvent it: empirical banality and or the obscurity and sophistry of formal abstractions! #SpeculativePhilosophy #DialecticalAnalysis #Dialecticians #Logicians
@ApostateEnglishman @georgetakei Also from 1940: ‘If, however, we assert positively that there are true propositions that are not verifiable, we abandon pure empiricism. Pure empiricism, finally, is believed by no one, and if we are to retain beliefs that we regard as valid, we must allow principles of inference which are neither demonstrative nor derivable from experience.’ From ‘Truth and Verification’ The William James Lectures, Harvard University.
So it’s agreed, the analytic philosophy of British and Austrian German logicians have no right to be imposed by the elite and neither do dialecticians, with their speculative philosophy to be denied to the people? #Logicians vs #Dialecticians
