Listen.
I know I've been making a lot of wild claims and manifesting all over the place, leaving Mastodon a Jackson Pollock painting of my sudden opinions on everything from metaphysics to the arcseconds a dominion can turn her leg doing a pirouette on the head of a pin needle.
I'm not saying anyone should be concerned, I'm just saying the more I start to look like one of William James's model subjects at the turn of the 20th century, the more concerned I get. 🤪

A quotation from William James
Without any exception known to me, militarist authors take a highly mystical view of their subject, and regard war as a biological or sociological necessity, uncontrolled by ordinary psychological checks or motives. When the time of development is ripe the war must come, reason or no reason, for the justifications pleaded are invariably fictions. War is, in short, a permanent human obligation.
William James (1842-1910) American psychologist and philosopher

A quotation from William James
“Peace” in military mouths today is a synonym for “war expected.” The word has become a pure provocative, and no government wishing peace sincerely should allow it ever to be printed in a newspaper. Every up-to-date dictionary should say that “peace” and “war” mean the same thing, now in posse, now in actu. It may even reasonably be said that the intensely sharp preparation for war by the nations is the real war, permanent, unceasing; and that the battles are only a sort of public verification of the mastery gained during the “peace”-interval.

A quotation from William James
Modern war is so expensive that we feel trade to be a better avenue to plunder; but modern man inherits all the innate pugnacity and all the love of glory of his ancestors. Showing war’s irrationality and horror is of no effect upon him. The horrors make the fascination. War is the strong life; it is life in extremis; war-taxes are the only ones men never hesitate to pay; as the budgets of all nations show us.

The God whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate His processes to the convenience of individuals.

Pragmatic Truth • 3.2
• https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/07/12/pragmatic-truth-3/Truth Predicates —
One of the first questions to be asked in this setting concerns the relationship between the significant performance and its reflective critique. If one expresses oneself in a particular fashion, and someone says “that’s true”, is there anything useful at all to be said in general terms about the relationship between those two acts? For instance, does the critique add value to the expression criticized, does it say something significant in its own right, or is it but an insubstantial echo of the original sign?

Pragmatic Truth • 2
• https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/07/10/pragmatic-truth-2/Truth as the Good of Logic —
Pragmatic theories of truth enter on a stage set by the philosophies of former ages, with special reference to the Ancient Greeks, the Scholastics, and Immanuel Kant. Recalling a few elements of that background can provide valuable insight into the play of ideas as they have developed up through our time. Because pragmatic ideas about truth are often confused with a number of quite distinct notions it is useful say a few words about those other theories and to highlight the points of significant contrast.
In one classical formulation, truth is defined as the good of logic, where logic is classed as a normative science, in other words, an inquiry into a good or value which seeks to arrive at knowledge of it and the means to achieve it. In that view, truth cannot be discussed to much effect outside the context of inquiry, knowledge, and logic, all very broadly conceived.

Pragmatic Truth • 1
• http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/07/08/pragmatic-truth-1/Questions about the “pragmatic conception of truth” have broken out in several quarters, asking in effect, “What conceptions of truth arise most naturally from and are best suited to pragmatic ways of thinking?” My best thoughts on that score were written out quite a few years ago, in an article I originally wrote for Wikipedia. I haven't dared look at what's become of it on that site — linked below is my current fork on another wiki.
Pragmatic Theory Of Truth
• https://oeis.org/wiki/Pragmatic_Theory_Of_TruthIt begins as follows …
❝“Pragmatic theory of truth” refers to those accounts, definitions, and theories of the concept “truth” distinguishing the philosophies of pragmatism and pragmaticism. The conception of truth in question varies along lines reflecting the influence of several thinkers, initially and notably, Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey, but a number of common features can be identified.
❝The most characteristic features are (1) a reliance on the “pragmatic maxim” as a means of clarifying the meanings of difficult concepts, truth in particular, and (2) an emphasis on the fact that the product variously branded as belief, certainty, knowledge, or truth is the result of a process, namely, “inquiry”.❞
