Triadic Philosophy - Thinking is as important to history as actions are.

Fantasy Blocks
+
Thinking is  as important to history as actions are. 
A life devoted  mainly to thinking is as admirable 
as one focused entirely on action. 
Practically speaking, most of us do both.  
And we err most egregiously 
when we make a distinction between the two. 
Triadic Philosophy operates in every case 
to unify thinking and acting 
under the signs of 
the Ethical and the Aesthetic.

The primacy and Unity of Aesthetics and Ethics - moving past a conundrum



No philosopher am I
but lives compose philosophies whether one knows it or not
so yes I share my life
Where I part company from Kierkegaard
Where I part company from Nietzsche
Where I part company from Peirce
and most likely Aristotle too
is in insisting
that value and will precede everything
and that ethics and aesthetics are 
prior to and not subordinate to any other categories
including logic and science 
What this means is that I am forced by the
logic of my own premises
to begin applying what this all means
in ways that will 
eventually make some sense to both me and the reader
from now on
if not philosophy
 contention
toward truth

NYT's erroneous "no new ideas" business


What dregs the NYT is becoming
A fattened populace is imploding perhaps but that's too easy
The idea-less humanities-based wise sorts it says are no longer with us are not gone at all
There are ideas buried in this two week old blog that are beyond the ken of most simply because no one has paid them mind
Shall I tell you a few
The world operates on realist not nominalist principles and this trumps most of the philosophy that's been taught
C. S. Peirce is the philosopher whose century this is
A 20/20 generation will rise up in this generation to turn inside out the value system that has from the beginning resulted in the destruction of humankind
The world operates on a system of benign or casual genocide powered by an ineffective alliance of capitalism and philanthropy
There is no original sin or hell or supernatural
But most of what Jesus said that we have access to is correct in terms of the values we can extrapolate from his utterances
Charity as we know it is a poor excuse for creation of an economy that creates a fair basis for all people on earth to live and move and have their being
The car is obsolete
Detached houses are obsolete
Sprawl is horrendous for health
These are just a few big ideas
There are many more right here
