From: Jeff Rubard on 20 Feb 2010 18:16 Three Theses on Philosophy (Concerning Gramsci's "Real Dialectics") 1. All philosophy is empirical -- concerned with those elements of life which resist a systematization which wicks them away from the individual mind. 2. As such philosophy is fundamentally concerned with thought of the person, but this in a sense excluding "rational reconstruction": experience for philosophy is experience of events, insofar as these events resist subsumption under laws regular or irregular. 3. And given that therapeutic intent has been for a long time excluded from its goals, "theoretical philosophy" must be understood as a preparation for ethics, an aid to assimilation to everyday life such as Benjamin sought in the movie. The only discipline "proper" to philosophy is aesthetics. |
