Understanding what we mean — Ontology in information architecture
Just as human-centred approaches as a whole have suffered from being flattened to a superficial layer, information architecture has suffered its own flattening. Ontology helps us deepen our practice and improve user experience by getting alignment around what we mean.https://duncanstephen.net/understanding-what-we-mean-ontology-in-information-architecture/

We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends behave to us

Dear #philosophy enthusiasts of the Fediverse,
I'm in dire need of book recommendations. I'm reading the Barnes edition of The Complete Works of #Aristotle in order, but the style is extremely dense and technical, the text in itself just isn't enough for me. I'd really appriciate some books I can read together with the main text explaining the basic concepts in more detail. If any of you studied Aristotle in depth, which books were the most helpful, or which ones do you wish you had access to earlier?

An excellent episode. From the description of this episode of The Minefield on ABC Listen:
The suspicion of hidden influence and the fear of special consideration undermine the faith of citizens in our shared institutions to behave justly.
Even when these institutions are conducting themselves equitably and representatives are making decisions on principled grounds, the ubiquity of money in politics breeds mistrust and ensures that suspicion lingers just below the surface of democratic life.
This is why any healthy political order depends on trust and is sustained through rigorous forms of public accountability.

Supposing the sub-disciples of philosophical dialogue were originally Dialectic and Rhetoric as a knowledge of philosophical dialogue cannot advance without a comprehension of them. Why then divide philosophy into metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics and logic presupposing the dogma of an empiricist nomenclature?
Answer: To control the direction and minds of the youth, so explaining why the oligarchs executed Socrates as he gave them the dialectic method so they could be free from dogmatic systems of naming! If Aristotle found a way to further undermine the oligarchs abuse of power, it can, and is still being done today. Their time is coming to an end. #philosophy #dialectic #rhetoric #metaphysics #epistemology #ethics #aesthetics #logic #oligarchs #Socrates #Aristotle

Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind

Aristotle would be thrilled to know his profound musings on #virtue and #happiness are now the perfect backdrop for an academic library's bureaucratic soup of "Study Skills" and "Early Offer Schemes." 😂📚 Because who wouldn't want to find enlightenment nestled between "FAQs" and "Work Scheme"? 🤦♂️

The Reality of Dreams
Throughout Human history, dreams have fascinated, inspired and disturbed us. Where do they come from? Why do they happen? What do they mean? Different civilisations have tried to answer these questions. The Ancient Mesopotamians thought of dreams as divine messages. The most well known Mesopotamian story is the Epic of Gilgamesh, where Gilgamesh receives dreams about the future. They also had dream temples, where people would go in order to sleep and receive these divine messages in their […]https://johnbronze.wordpress.com/2026/07/24/the-reality-of-dreams/

One may go wrong in many different ways, but right only in one, which is why it is easy to fail and difficult to succeed

Autonomies: **Giorgio Agamben: The first friend and the first enemy**
https://autonomies.org/2026/07/giorgio-agamben-the-first-friend-and-the-first-enemy/
As a scientist friend of mine, who likes to reflect on such matters, writes to me, the fundamental event in the history of living beings was the emergence of a microorganism capable of feeling pain. This thesis must, of course, … Continue reading →

Haven’t We Always Been Friends?
Aristotle drew a ladder. I drew a circle. A scheming actor asked to climb, and I answered with a question built to end the conversation. Years ago, in a rehearsal room that smelled of coffee and radiator dust, an actor I will call Curtis said six words I have retold wrong for decades: "I want to be your friend." We had known each other three years by then. We had built shows together, struck sets at midnight, shared the particular intimacy of people who fail in front of each other at ten in the morning and repair it by eight that night. His sentence cornered me. I laughed a little, the way you laugh when you need two seconds to find a door, and I said, "Curtis, haven't we always been friends?"

@CuratedEpictetus What act is Long referring to? Presumably none is completely free from errors if the degree of them is significant, even as it concerns the bundle of naming, blaming, shaming and abuse. Being ill instructed, or wealthy is no excuse for the excessive use of blame by the few to make popular the grief of the oppressor so it undermines the grief of the oppressed. #TheGreatLie #Sophistry #Stoicism #Indemonstrables #peripatetics #Aristotle #Philosophy #PosterioriAnalytics #Categories #Syllogisms

The Necessary Art: Taking the Title Back
Today I am publishing a book about a theft at the center of Western culture, one its victims were trained to take as a compliment:The Necessary Art: Aristotle's Six Elements in the Clinic, the Courtroom, the Proof, the Blueprint, and the Republic. It runs 342 pages in paperback, it exists in a Kindle edition and a free reading edition you can download right now, and the audiobook will follow as soon as the voice is ready. Those are the facts of the launch. What follows is the case for why this book exists, because its central fact has stood in plain sight for two hundred and eighty years while the people it names were trained to take the theft as a compliment: the professions of the working world were robbed of a word, the robbery has a date and a paper trail, and the word can be taken back.

Aristotle said there are 3 different types of friendship. One of them makes us better people.
