andie nachgeborenen * W's philosophy actually calls out for following up with such investigation. If you want to go beyond philosophy, you have to go _somewhere_ -- maybe to political economy and political sociology, like Marx, maybe to Ideologiekritik like Adorno and the early Frankfurters (Adorno also did flat out scientific sociology or social psychology, see The Authoritarian Personality), maybe to genealogical critic and psychology like Nietzsche, maybe to mystical pragmatism like Heidegger or scientific-sociological pragmatism like Dewey -- there are a lot of possibilities. But some people, and W was one of them, are like Moses at the Jordan, they point the way to the land of Canaan but cannot cross the river. Quine was another: he wanted to "naturalize epistemology, but that meant actually doing cognitive psychology, and he wasn't suited for or able to do that.
^^^^ CB: If we are to get some rational kernels out of these philosophers, andie's discussion here seems worth going into further. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
