@YellowTurtle Suppose no thing, which is put together is nothing, is absolute, so implies being is not absolute. Why should an idea be synonymous with what being is; why are the values of the ideas’ concept not absolute? When absolute values are presupposed, as in merely affirmed according to beliefs e.g. the geocentric model of the cosmos is true, which is actually false, they do not transcend their actual values if science is objective. By that I mean its claims can be independently verified and are not dependent on the beliefs in them. Ideas, having not just a form but being the exposition of the concept, transcend being e.g. the cosmos is infinite in time and or space as opposed to the values of the reasons for its dimensions are. #Philosophy
The dialectic is not linear in that its principle is constituted by the comprehension of contradictions, which are real, not transcendental e.g. as there are exceptions to speculative claims on modality that are spurious, as in without proof e.g. it is necessary that there are no absolutes, as nothing is absolute. #Dialectic #Hegel #TheAbsoluteIdea #TheScienceOfLogic

I consider the divide between Continental and Analytical philosophy through my ontological lens after watching an IAI debate. I had already considered this as a use case, so the serendipity was convenient. What I used to call petulance, I now call ontological divide – and petulance. Thoughts?

One of my new superpowers in "debating" (I prefer a dialectic really) is just saying "I don't care." Or "Why is that important?"
"No matter what society you imagine, people will always try to take advantage of it." => I don't care.
"But I might miss something on my timeline." => Why is that important?
Give it a try!

@johncarlosbaez Your blog makes a reference to philosophy, but what has the combinatorics of ‘counting categories’ to do with those that constitute the foundation of their concept if those are reasons, relations, properties, dispositions and forms. I’m thinking of Plato’s principle and realms in relation to Aristotle’s modal oppositions….. #Philosophy #Knowledge #Dialectic #Forms #Categories

@impactology Why not a door with reason and purpose? No matter how great the sense of fear, shame and guilt are, they are just being. The dialectic transcends that, and even it is nothing if not constituted by the foundation of its concept. Partial intelligibility is comprehensive.

In einer idealen Sprechsituation sind alle Beteiligten gleichberechtigt und argumentieren rational. Ein respektvoller Dialog oder Multilog fördert die Konsensfindung und führt zu einem fairen Interessenausgleich – ein essenzielles Element politischer Kommunikation.

When I walked into the kitchen this morning, spouse said, "I saved the most expensive Valentine's present for this morning."
And he handed me an egg.
We laughed hard, but it was the morbid laughter of dark times, and though I know that "all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us," but I really wish none of this were happening.

@6G @escarpment @rameshgupta @benroyce lifelong Democrat here, #Biden2024 , and I would've said that, generally, the left *includes* the views of the right. At least in a #dialectic sense.
But I no longer have that view.
If Trump has done one thing, he's upended what the GOP is and stands for. If anything at all.
At this point, I'd say that my party is decidedly illeberal and that the GOP is totally lost and can only naysay.

A discussion can be an argument/debate, in which one wins and another loses, or a dialectic, in which two or more cooperatively seek the truth of the matter.
Anatol Rappaport offered a way to transform argument into dialectic:

In the core concept video series on Kant's Prolegomena, we now move into the discussion of the "cosmological ideas" in part 3 of the work. We run into four antinomies within the dialectic of pure reason

CW: Metacognitive & Philosophical Discussion about IDENTITY, with rhetorical questioning around a state of awareness similar to (but not restrictive or disconnecting as) DEREALIZATION, DEPERSONALIZATION, DISSOCIATION.
@erincandescent I love a #nondual perspective to subsume a view which engages the construction of oppositions.
There are means to transcend the divisions of #dualities of the mind that the humankind oft confuse for a fundamental #reality.
The opposition of those complimentary parts of any pair appear illusorily within the #aesthetic #judgement(s) of the mind.
To peer beyond the (dualistic) #constructs by which humankind passes down our relative knowledge is to loose one's bondage to dissonant aversions in the face of cognitive complexity.
The #dialectic is helpful with this: neither does the sun set that Earth not revolve about it, nor does Earth revolve about the sun that the sun not set, but so sets the sun and also revolves Earth about it.
When I engage my #metacognition, I understand "recognized reality" to be constructed by an internal #dialogue along an #Identity-#Environment axis that synthesizes a (re-)projection around pardox: awareness includes phenomena only unique to itself (awareness does not commute or permute except locally) whilst embedded within a a common substrate (the universe, not necessarily matter) _and_ the collective of which one is part is extensibly indefinite and conformally diffuse (I.e., at/to what extent is one separated from one's predecessors? From one's mother? From one's morning meal, the sweat [sic] on one's breath, or the roles played out in sleep with which one recalls no association?)
I used to #joke that "I am g-d, and you are too!" in a trans-solipsistic way, because I see the embedding of our Beings in a cross- and self-referential reality as the #divinity of what #mundaneity might else lead to hopelessness in #nihilism, though that joke usually left my audiences scratching their heads or scoffing at me in #misunderstanding (for surely I am not a primagenitor of all the squiggliness in life, but some of it for those after me and, by internalized self-projection, "All [Most of]" the squiggliness within my 1st Person PoV).

"(M)y classmates and I have learned a valuable lesson from this factional squabbling: It doesn’t work. When a society separates into warring camps, no one is left to have a meaningful conversation about fixing the underlying issues.

#Reading #recommendation.. I'm just finishing up reading Martin Gurii's "The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium" (2014). It is absolutely #prescient.
It contains the best description of North America's current #political climate that I've seen; he clearly saw, writing a decade ago, exactly how toxic our collective #dialectic would get.
And more importantly, he saw the #danger it represented to our very democracies.
Go read it.

A thought in response to RK's comment —
That strikes me as a problem in cross-paradigm communication — an interaction among communities of interpretation using different analogies to comprehend object situations which may or may not be the same or even compatible.

It occurred to me, while reading this, that #Horkheimer & #Adorno's #Dialectic of #Enlightenment might be of a piece with #Wittgenstein's #Tractatus; a set of basically senseless propositions the purpose of which is to make you see their senselessness (TLP 6.54). So, with #Habermas one might then say that H&A do commit a performative contradiction. But that's precisely the point!

@dlovell That's the #sophists vs. #philosophers debate all over again.
I realised a few years back (on Google+) that there were two major schools of online discussion. One is #rhetorical, aimed at winning or convincing. The other is #dialectic, interested in understanding or finding truth. The two are almost wholly incompatible.
Dialectic discussion depends strongly on (I want to say "requires", though I'm not certain of that) a mutual respect. It's quite easiy disrupted.
Encounters with rhetoricians should be considered at best training on their methods. References to the classsics, such as Aristotle's Sophistical Refutations (the original "Bullshit Arguments Which Must Die"), and Cicero, remain useful. Very rarely can you actually win a concession. Less rarely, learn something.
@woozle (toot.cat's Supreme Uberwensch) was party to that G+ thread and has a similar interest in epistemic debate.
