Quoting Ant McWatt June 11th: Platt,
What I'm saying is that the opinions of talk radio DJs whether from the left or right have little place in serious philosophy debate. They do for intellectual quality what McDonald's does for nutrition and employment rights. >Well, I guess one man's philosophy is another man's propaganda and >vice-versa. That sounds like pluralism to me where truth is relative which again puts you outside the MOQ (where various opinions and statements are graded on their intellectual quality). For instance, I highly doubt the intellectual quality of the opinions of someone such as Rush Limbaugh is on a par with philosophers such as F.S.C. Northrop or even Richard Rorty. Platt then asked: How do you "grade" intellectual quality other than subjectively, like paintings in an art gallery? Ant McWatt comments: Ideally, in the same way you deal with the accused in a court of law. Best wishes, Anthony . _________________________________________________________________ Play your part in making history - Email Britain! http://www.emailbritain.co.uk/ 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/
