HELMUT RAULIEN: Maybe the ability of having a self concept is proportional with the intelligence or the well functioning of the mind, because the mind is a reflecting system, and also self-reflecting, if it is highly developed. But intelligence does not guarantee social competence: Asperger people

[PEIRCE-L] Triadic Philosophy Introduction

2014-06-12 Thread Stephen C. Rose
Thanks to Gary R for noting Triadic Philosophy. Insofar as it is a theory it is nascent. As a method of conscious thinking in line with Peirce's NA it is more developed. I have written some short books on the subject and all are available on Kindle. For this thread I will simply post excerpts with

List, One of the unintended effects of the recent seminar on Kees' book has been an apparent renewed interest in doing more of this kind of close reading of texts. For example, there appears to be a keen interest by several here, including me since I've begun reading it, of reflecting critically o

Dear Gene, I like your thoughts very much, and agree completely, especially with the difference between "organization" and "social organism". We should always keep a social sytem as a mere organization we have control over, and never allow it becoming something like an organism. I think, we not on

Words are a large step from the signs that give rise to speech. That is one reason I feel we are surrounded by mysteries even within our own reach and sight and certainly beyond the reach of both. That we speak of ourselves as distinct elements of reality is useful but all life can be said to show

Dear Helmut, Yes, and I think Aldous Huxley put it well in his little book Brave New World Revisited, where he said: “Biologically speaking, man is a moderately gregarious, not a completely social animal -- a creature more like a wolf, let us say, or an elephant, than like a bee or a

Dear Gene, I agree. The self concept is the opposite of a potato. But I must revise what I wrote, that intelligence helps social competence, because ants are socially very competent, but not intelligent and have no self consciousness. I rather think, that reflection can disintegrate one from the

Dear Helmut, Or maybe rather: Die Quantität der Potate ist indirekt proportional zur Intelligenskapazität ihres Kultivators! (Or, as it is put in the south: Der Dümmste Bauer hat die grösste’ Kartoffel’!). Loosely translated: “The size of the potato is indirectly proportional to the IQ of the
