Hegel, le perspectivisme et la vie réflexive du monde
Hegel ne dit pas que l’esprit fabrique le monde : il dit que le monde n’apparaît pas pareil à tous les vivants. Ce qui compte, c’est la forme de vie qui rend certaines choses saillantes, pensables, discutables. L’humain, auto-conscient, vit dans une tension réflexive permanente. #Hegel #Philosophy #Perspectivism #CriticalTheory #Ontology Chez Hegel, l’idéalisme ne consiste ni à dire que la réalité est mentale, ni à…

RE: https://spore.social/@yoginho/115918117109281530
Still looking for weekend reading material? Why not dive into the wonderful philosophy of Bill Wimsatt?
Reading this will change the way you see the world, and your ideas of where that knowledge of reality comes from.

If someone has a positive impression of you that you happen to think unfounded - an infatuation, an overestimation of your work contribution, praise of your music skill on a night you didn’t play well - you can hold onto to what you know and still enjoy their nice experience #perspectivism

Yes. Science is a social construct. But even though our knowledge will never be truly objective, or complete, we can still get a good grip on reality.
Science is the best way we've devised so far to get to terms with the large & bewildering world we live in.
It's unlike any other human way to generate knowledge.
But it's also deeply related to how any organism comes to know the world:: by acting on expectations & evaluating the consequence of our actions.

We have a new preprint out! And one that is especially dear to my heart:
"Re-Engineering Wimsatt for Limited Beings"
https://zenodo.org/records/18293424
Bill Wimsatt is possibly the most underrated philosopher of science of our times. In this paper, I attempt to translate his key ideas into a format that every scientist can understand.

Reading this paper will change the way you do science, and how you see the world, forever. I promise.

I've finished the first draft of my paper about William Wimsatt and his multi-perspectival realism.
I think every practicing scientist today should know about his philosophy. It will make you a better researcher, I guarantee. And it will help you feel more comfortable exploring the structure of a messy and imperfect world without losing track of your limitations.

Another example. When I fell ill with malaria, a Yukpa shaman told me that our blood was beer that mosquitoes fermented to celebrate, "just like us". Each species has a perspective with the same inner world as the human one, but for others it looks different depending on the relationship that one species [or collective] has with another. In the context of ethnology this is called “amerindian #perspectivism ”, term coined by the anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro.

If you've got half an hour free during the day, this is a rather interesting conversation with #philosopher, or 'metaethicist', Simon Blackburn. The discussion touches on #ethics, #pragmatism, #truth, #Rorty, #Ryle, #Nietzsche, #perspectivism, and plenty more.
In one section he cites #Russell on #Bradley, which made me think of you @PeterSjostedtH
