Equinox from around the world with ep. 23 of #EarthEclectic - Honoring Mother, #Autumn , Life, and Earth, as we veer from #FolkMusic to #ChoralMusic to #experimentalism - traveling from England to Canada to the US to Australia. Just four songs in this episode (a couple on the lengthy side) but we cover a lot of ground!

Given his stature in philosophy, and for all its apparent incongruence, John #Dewey's "mystic experience" is surprisingly unknown. Yet its conclusion is a thing of serene beauty. He described it to Max Eastman, maybe 60 yrs after the fact, for Eastman's book 'Heroes I Have Known':

A simple yet overlooked practical & experimental conclusion to be drawn from Jane #Addams' philosophy is that if we wish to introduce new information into any social transaction then, to control the effects of this, we should do so in as noiseless (i.e. neutral) a way as possible.

#Pragmatist experimentalism:
Experiment for experience’s sake. -
An instrumentalist conception of perception itself would imply a significant shift both in how we design animal studies and interpret the resulting behavior and in how we understand our own research activities themselves.

Why do #instrumentalism/ #experimentalism/ #pragmatism paradoxically get us closer to reality than #realism?
The former present themselves as a set of quests for meaning, ever-evolving, whereas the latter presents itself as a quest for final truths.
Meaning, as a concept, can never be fully mind-independent. Truth can claim to be. Realism bases its claim to certainty upon mind-independence. However, certainty is itself a meaning. Certainty only has meaning in minds, for agents.

"In existence no two sunsets have exactly the same red. They could not have it unless one sunset repeated the other in absolutely complete detail. For the red is always the red of the material of /that/ experience."

"Government, business, art, religion, all social institutions have... a purpose[:]... to set free the capacities of human individuals... [T]he test of their value is the extent to which they educate every individual into the full stature of his possibility."
- #Dewey, Reconstruction in #Philosophy (1920) [as quoted by #Rorty (1998)].Wonder what kind of values would be returned were such tests applied to our social institutions, beginning with academia.
