Things keep converging on me all the time.
Radical Philosophy Magazine this month would get
Scott and his L of CI very excited. Yes the
human nature site is excellent.

David (M) this is indeed a shrinking world.

I've only just made the connection - I've been using "Human Nature Daily Review" (aka NIBBS http://human-nature.com/nibbs/ ) as a resource for all sorts of interesting material in this space for as year or so (I have a permanent link on my own blog), but I never noticed this was the same Robert M Young, nor noticed this paper before on his home page.

What was I saying about convergence ?

Hi all

    By the way the end of the essay by Young
    suggests we should all read Pirsig, of course,
    we have that ticked off already.

    Regards

      Subject: MD science and the humanities

Hi all

      The humanities are about discussing values and morals,
      the sciences are about avoiding talk about morals and values.
      See link below to a discussion of this byRobert M Young.
      He suggests we need to take a look at the dualisms of:

humanities - science

society - science

culture - nature

qualitative - quantitative

value - fact

purpose - mechanism

subject - object

internal - external

secondary- primary (qualities)

thought - extension

mind - body

character - behaviour
