Have you tuned in to our latest episode yet? In it, @xtinadlr, @fastfrwrd and @arielkroon discuss #idealism and #pragmatism - and #incrementalism, too.
We spend the first part of the episode defining terms and discussing examples, then we dive into the second half where we talk about how we think these ideas might apply (or don't) to #solarpunk.
Take a listen here: https://shows.acast.com/solarpunk-presents/episodes/810-solarpunk-presents-idealism-versus-pragmatism

Big Government vs small farmer
This kind of problem is fixable. The more people aware of food quality and the importance of small farms, the better. We go out of our way to buy good food from quality local farmers. ABN

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
Much has been said in this country about not wanting to participate in foreign wars and people who have said it, must now face the fact that foreign wars come very close to our own shores. We will always have not only the religious groups, but many groups who feel that war is wrong. I cannot imagine how anyone could feel otherwise with the picture before them today. But when force not only rules in certain countries, but is as menacing to all the world, as it is today, one cannot live in a Utopia which prays for different conditions and ignores those which exist.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1940-05-17), “My Day”More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/80…

Read a little #Montague early on ― fell in line with a quest for the primal roots of meaning in naturally evolved languages mostly only poets ken ― but these days I take more clues and inspiration from C.S. #Peirce's #Pragmatism, #Semiotics, #Logic, and Theory of #Inquiry.

“It is easy to speak with precision upon a general theme. Only, one must commonly surrender all ambition to be certain. It is equally easy to be certain. One has only to be sufficiently vague.”
— C.S. Peirce

Just finished this intriguing paper by @omarlizardo, in which he lays out the differences between intentional and habit(us)-based explanations of social action:
-
William #Whewell's notion of #Consilience is often mentioned in this connection. It was later picked up by #EOWilson.
#Peirce's #Pragmatism takes some pains to side-step the superficial dichotomy between #Objectivism or #Foundationalism and #Coherentism or #Consensualism.
Susan #Haack, for instance, tries to integrate them in her concept of #Foundherentism.
Well, that's enough isms for one day ...

In this new post for the Erraticus Blog, Jon Alan Schmidt was gracious enough to take some time challenging @ironick17 and me on our views of truth and the great chasm that exists between #CSPeirce and #williamjames. #pragmatism #philosophy

@algersanpin @philosophy "abduction", also know as "retroduction" .... or as the way our knowledge progresses from a prior "what we believe we know" through a scientific process and logic to a posterior "what we believe we know".
I'm curious if the author's take on #pragmatism is in the spirit of #CSPeirce #pragmaticism
