    "...А вот теперь представь. 8 млрд. людей на Земле. Ну, плюс минус. 8 млрд. представлений о любви и своих правил. То, что мы пытаемся загнать в рамки, любовью не является. Это в лучшем случае - всего лишь наше представление о любви..."

  11. "Vattimo thinks philosophers should stop trying to rewrite Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. They should instead rewrite the narratives offered in Vico’s New Science, Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit,
    Comte’s and Marx’s stories of progress, and Nietzsche’s account (in Twilight of the Idols) of “How ‘the true world’ became a fable.” Part of this rewriting should consist in removing any suggestion of inevitability, any hint that the story being told is itself more than another possible interpretation. The other task that remains for philosophy is what Vattimo calls “the ongoing task of secularization … the unmasking of the sacrality of all absolute, ultimate truths.” This task will never be completed, he says, because “the springs of metaphysical authoritarianism will never run dry” and so antifoundationalism itself is at risk of hardening in a metaphysics." -#RichardRorty on #GianniVattimo 2007

  12. "As the Slovenian Marxist philosopher, Slavoj Zizek, has remarked (commenting on [Curzio] Malaparte’s account of the October Revolution), today’s equivalent of the old Russian infrastructure that Trotsky occupied is none other than the digital network. Thus, it is the digital network that ought to be the primary locus and target of revolutionary activity."

    Hello #philosophers! I'm a philosopher of biology with academic training in the life sciences (BS), psychology (MS), and philosophy (MA, PhD).

    I now swim in the interdisciplinary space between phil & bio.

    After a postdoc in an immunology lab at Uni Bordeaux as a philosopher in biomed #philinbiomed, I'm now at Uni Vienna exploring a new way of working through #philosophy of science: by doing and thinkig through phil both in and of #scicomm. #philscicomm #philsci #philbio

  14. I'm reading moral philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre ('a short history of ethics' & 'after virtue').

    I'm beginning to grasp why there are many references to him in #CriticalRealism.

    He seems to be more of an aristotelian than platonist, so far, but I've got a fair amount to read before I can be sure.

  18. fun fact: when the philosopher Ernst #Bloch died in #Tübingen 1977, he was so beloved by students that the local student union renamed the university "Ernst-Bloch Universität", a name which they insisted upon until 2017 when students complained that not all of them shared Bloch's political views.
