Hi Squonk,? ? Nominalism? That sounds somewhat close. Not so sure about the severe.
Hi Marsha, Well, i like to take into account who i'm dealing with and talk in ways they may understand. Sort of find a little area of agreement. And this term is something i have used in the formal academic setting, more specifically, with regard to metaphysics. Marsha: The dragon, Nagarjuna, addresses the middleway. Sometimes, though, I get myself so deep that I cannot say if the sound coming from my throat is a laugh or cry. Then it's time to backdown a little. (I think.) I'm really a scarty-cat at heart. s: I like this. David?has placed allot of stock in his pre/trans view of things, but?it?may be?asked; Is there a middle way between what was and what is going to be? If there is, is this stable or moral? Is pre/trans binary or is that simplistic and why? TE1 sort of focused on that,?and i appreciate all the evolutionary psychology and the way the moq appropriates it, or justifies it, i'm not sure which? But this middle way is exactly what i had in mind. It looks as though it stops evolution, but does it? Does the push forward rule out a circling island of bliss which does not have to go anywhere? Does this have to be described as static? Would the moq have to be nuanced in order to accommodate this thinking? These are questions?for original thinkers it seems to me Marsha, and not people filled with hate and venom, eager to become intoxicated on their celebrity status and ego. ? Marsha: At the moment I'm waiting to hear how Ham-I-Am defines 'autonomous self'. I hope he knows that I am not so much challenging him, as myself. s: Well, you've hit the nail on the head with this autonomous self stuff, because when i began my MA this was the very question i was asked more than any other. I reached for Anthony's PhD thesis and even before i opened it i knew it was going to be of no use in this regard - well, not for a detailed critical account that i could use and cite as support. That made me feel angry, because i thought to myself: Shit!! He's just left as i carry on to this next phase, and he's?bequeathed bugger all to help me! And it's the same people asking the same questions!!! Ham is in the driving seat on this one. ? Anyway, temple, or litterbox, I hope you stick around.? ? Marsha s: I may just do that. :-) Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
