Ian: > Lilburne's first post was only 3 days ago. What makes you recommend it ?
Nick: The quality of his post. He introduced it in another forum. He seems to be brilliant on the topic. He's been studying this for awhile and therefore isn't blogging on a whim on these topics. He's put a lot of reading and effort into what he knows for a long time now from what I gather discussing with him. So he's blogging this information after a great length of study. Here's a quote of Lilburne's perspective and his explanation of what he plans on doing first the other "person's post" and then Lilburne's response: Person's Post: "that's interesting, how did both David Hume and Aritotle influence you? I would think they would both be jarring to the mind if they were both believed mainly because hume was such a radical a posteriorist as opposed to aristotle's apriorism." Lilburne response: "I'm going to go into that in detail when my history of epistemology series of posts reaches Aristotle and Hume. But, basically I'm influenced by Hume's philosophy of mind and Aristotle's basic teleological analysis of human nature, his taxonomy of concepts, and the application of his formal logic to economics. I'll try to square that circle in my blog. Also, I believe Aristotle is not nearly as a prioristic as he is often characterized, and that Hume's a posteriorism is not as crude as many think. Aristotle was no Cartesian rationalist, and Hume was no Schmollerite/positivist." I would definitely read all his posts from the beginning. They are each very, very short considering the topic, but he is concise and thorough enough that a clear understanding can be surmise in my opinion. Nick -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!
