messy philosophy (ontic and ontological)
It’s been a while since I last posted something on here. Too much to study… I’ve seen bunch of great movies, so maybe I’ll drop a comment on them soon… maybe not. I’ll definitely write about L.Cohen’s book The Favorite Game soon, it has some great points for discussion.
Today Christian and I concluded that nowadays philosophy is so messy, people are trying to publish as much as possible and as a result, we get bunch of texts based on insufficient education or insufficiently read literature. But nobody complains, cause the more slippery articles we have, the more room for the criticism of them, hence more publishing.
Another thing you get in nowadays (mainly anglosaxon) philosophy is such an ignorance towards traditional philosophical terms (but that’s nothing new, right…). Terms like transcedent and transcendental or ontic and ontological are so often used either interchangeably… bah
