Did you know Aristotelianism shaped Western thought for over two millennia? Rooted in Aristotle's works (Nicomachean Ethics, Metaphysics), it sparked debates on ethics, science, and logic, influencing Aquinas and medieval scholasticism. (Q263307) #AncientPhilosophy #MedievalThought

Omat teesini EU:n yhteisvelkaan ja eurobondeihin: 1) ovat ilmainen lounas, jos johtavat kestävän liberaalin yhteiskunnan säilymiseen, 2) velkojen hoito ei edellytä kireää talouspolitiikkaa tulevaisuudessa, jos kohta 1 toteutuu, 3) liberaalia Eurooppaa ei kohta ole, jos asiassa ei edetä nopeasti.

Taistelu päästä päähän -salausta vastaan tuntuu kiihtyvän länsimaissa nyt vähän joka puolella. Britit vääntävät Applen kanssa ja ruotsalaiset Signalin. Ottaen huomioon länsimaisten yhteiskuntien tämänhetkisen resilienssin autoritäärisyyttä vastaan, tämä on todella huolestuttava kehitys.

Nuorten naisten ja miesten arvoissa ei ole tapahtunut niin suurta muutosta kuin on väitetty. Faktantarkistuksessa käydään läpi, mitä Suomessa tehdyt arvotutkimukset kertovat nuorten aikuisten arvojen muutoksesta. #faktantarkistus faktabaari.fi/fakta/nuorte...

Vanha uskomus, että köyhät ovat laiskoja ja tarvitsevat kuria, ohjaa suomalaista politiikkaa. Kun yhteiskunta kiristää hädässä olevalle avun ehtoja äärimmilleen, ne muuttuvat rangaistuksiksi. yle.fi/a/74-20145175

Actually, that's wrong. Pacifism abandons the entire good/evil, zero-sum, violence/security mindset to develop alternative accounts and policies in conflict situations. Richard Jackson has written on how pacifism is rubbished. richardjacksonterrorismblog.wordpress.com/2017/10/09/t...

Demokratia on valinkauhassa. Keskustaoikeisto tekee valinnan antaako se äärioikeistolle valtaa - kuten 1930-luvulla. JK Paasikivi vai von Papen? Toisaalta aikamme Rooseveltille tarve myös; toivoa ja työtä luovaa vaihtoehtoa. Saksan CDU/CSU on nyt luvannut pitää äärioikeiston pois hallitusvallasta.

Erinomainen kirjoitus. Voin perustella itselleni floodaamisen demokratian puolustamisena. "Demokratian puolustamisessa jokainen voi tehdä osansa. Media voi raportoida laajasti niistä ihmisistä ja ryhmistä, jotka puhuvat ja toimivat uhkaavaa kehitystä vastaan." #yhteiskunta

Tätähän se ”America First” yksinkertaisimmillaan tarkoittaa. Kun kompleksisessa maailmassa tömistellään yksinkertaisin ratkaisuin saadaan lopulta aikaan kaaos. Ainakin tässä on hyvä ja näkyvä esimerkki myös suomalaisille äänestäjille populistisen omaan napaan tuijottavan politiikan tuloksista…

Read it. Listen it. The book contains crucial information for organizing an efficient resistance to a immoral govenrment. "What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn." – Henry D. Thoreau

Interestingly similar to Hamann's criticism of Kant's transc. deduction. Kant's logical form synthesis abuses empirical language for abstract symbols and ideal relationships. Mathematics instead uses kyriological/indexical & iconic signs and use to fix its objects. jochenteuffel.com/wp-content/u...

New paper, arguing that genAI offers a profound reckoning for modern philosophy's 'representationalist realism', advocating instead a 'rich relational realism', as per (Gili and Maddalena 2022). I also draw on Peirce's semiotics to argue that LLMs can do symbols but not icons or indices.

Hmm, isn't this one of MacIntyre's criticisms of liberalism? Values presuppose a community, which then cannot be compatible with a market-based/constitutional/individualist society. Problem with these arguments is that liberals have their own account of community. en.wikisource.org/wiki/Democra...

I knew, of course, that William Whewell first coined the word “scientist,” but I had no idea that the idea remained so controversial that Nature was still weighing in on the appropriateness of the term at least as late as 1925. https://www.nature.com/articles/115253a0.pdf #HistSTM #PhilSci #STS

Itse pidin tästä kolumnista. Se paljastaa ja myöntää, kuinka huonoa suomalainen valtavirtainen turvallisuuspoliittinen keskustelu on viime vuodet ollut. Ja nyt kun mahdollinen, josta ei ole puhuttu, alkaa toteutua, iskee johtavalle päivälehdellekin moraalipaniikki. #turpo
