dmb asked:
Can you tell me the difference between intersubjectively agreed upon
attributes and subjective qualities?"
David M replied with a Rorty quote:
"From Sartre's point of view, the urge to find such necessities
is the urge to be rid of one's freedom to erect yet another alternative
theory or vocabulary. Thus the edifying philosopher who points out the
incoherence of the urge is treated as a "relativist", one who lacks
moral seriousness, because he does not join in the common human
hope that the burden of choice will pass away. ...we need... ...to think
about science in such a way that its being a value-based enterprise
occassions no surprise... "
And Morey added:
so he sees you coming. He talks less of truth than of agreement using
the best methods we currently possess, he talks of person rather
then the implies dualism of a subject, he does not talk about
inter-subjective truth either. Why don't you list some true statements
and we will take a look at how objective they are?
dmb says:
Huh? I asked for the difference between one thing and another. Your answer
refers to neither of them! This makes no sense to me whatsoever. Your
additional comments are incoherent and the quote itself is so out of context
that I don't even know what the topic is. The urge to find what necessities?
The incoherence of what urge? What surprise? As with most of your posts, I
literally don't know what you're talking about. Shall I ask the question for
the tenth time?
Thanks anyway,
DMB
