Okay ADRF: My own background is more in the "humanities" and "classical literature"... Italian Literature, mostly.... from pre-Dante up to... let's say...fifty years ago, or so.... But I haven't kept up with it for quite a while. Anyway, I have a fairly competent appreciation for actual philosophy, as well. I have developed a "preference" for the nominalists (especially William of Ockham)... it fits in with by "literary" leanings... as in pre-semiotics, and all. But I think (or like to believe) that I know a bit about many other philosophical directions... Idealism, Realism and Phenomenology (along with Nominalism) being my own broad overall epistemological categories. Here's a link to my own prior postings on these Message Boards... "I have never Met a Circle" here in Epistemology and "Nominal9"s Method needs home" in Humanities. Just if you care to look .... anything of interest to you I will gladly discuss.... I just don't want to "impose" my views on you if you have no interest. http://groups.google.com/group/epistemology/browse_thread/thread/e716760b69f3405/5b308c34428acc13?lnk=gst&q=I+have+never+met+a+circle#5b308c34428acc13 http://groups.google.com/group/humanities/browse_thread/thread/d9861d3dcc39fd71/5709d689e7ad2bc7?lnk=gst&q=Nominal9%27s+Method+needs+home#5709d689e7ad2bc7 Anyway.... you say that you have been.... shooed away from another philosophy group for "unorthodoxy" in refusing to bow down to the Deity of Platonic Idealism????? If you read my "circle" thread a bit you will see that my suggestion as a retort to any Idealist is to tell him or her..... "Like it or not, your ass stinks".... But, if you are not an Idealist.... what would you say that you are.... Realist, Phenomenologist,Nominalist.....something else? As to your views on evolution (in an Un-Darwinian way).... that would require some more explanation from you in order for me to get a notion of what you are talking about..... sounds "rebellious".... nominal9
