Whoops | The Interrationale

Categories: the theory of communicative action. I wrote too soon about Habermas and his use of Popper’s “third world”:. In what follows I shall no longer employ the Popperian terminology. My purpose in reviewing Jarvie’s action-theoretic translation of Popper’s three-world theory was only to prepare the way for the thesis that with the choice of a specific sociological concept of action we generally make specific “ontological” assumptions. (TOCA, 84-85). Lies within this more elaborate taxonomy. The soci...

Introduction to Kolmogorov complexity | The Interrationale
https://interrationale.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/introduction-to-kolmogorov-complexity
Introduction to Kolmogorov complexity. A chance encounter with a friend, Michael Greenberg, with whom I had fallen out of touch, reminded me today of what I ought to be doing with this blog. Recall from earlier these two definitions:. Is a set of beliefs and valuations. DFN-RATIONAL-SYSTEM-v.1.0) A system is a rational system. To the extent that its contents are deducible from its axioms. The latter definition is vague at best. What does it mean for a system to be deducible to. Is another string such that.

A change of strategy | The Interrationale
https://interrationale.wordpress.com/2008/05/13/a-change-of-strategy
A change of strategy. I am finding that I am reading much faster than I am able to find the time to write here. This makes my original plan for this blog–to begin with a thorough, linear exegesis of various philosophical notes–very unpractical. Updates have been too slow to be any sign of progress. So I think I will table that method for now. I think that this sort of work will likely hold my interest better, and maybe ultimately be of more use. Responses to “A change of strategy”.

Popper’s third world | The Interrationale
https://interrationale.wordpress.com/2008/04/26/poppers-third-world
Popper’s third world. And the theory of communicative action. In my last post, I raised the following question in the context of TOCA:. What does it mean for an expression to embody. I didn’t find a lot to help me in the opening chapter I’ve been writing about here for some time. But thankfully, I’ve been reading faster than I’ve been blogging, and recently hit a section that should help me out. It turns out, to my surprise, that this notion of embodiment is largely Popperian. According to Habermas, Popp...

Autumn and a scarf called Hope | Wayfaring Stranger
https://wayfaringstranger.wordpress.com/2010/10/08/autumn
October 8, 2010. Autumn and a scarf called Hope. I love orange and brown and yellow and red. Autumn also makes me feel that my knitting is once again useful and inspires me to all new kinds of projects. Currently, I am knitting a scarf for a new friend of mine, a fellow graduate student. (He said he thought that scarves were pretentious! This scarf from that project is particularly fall appropriate:. A scarf called Hope. I decided to knit it up in a pattern similar to a 4×4 stitch rib, but with the ...

That is, speaking of grammar, linguistics, and whatever else have you in the scheme of language. Monday, August 25, 2008. In place of those concepts which English may lack or has yet to develop*. For example, is a French word which we very commonly use to mean the classification of films or written works. Another note I took from my friendly book o' Spanish is that the Spanish word for "vowel" is "vocal." This amuses me greatly, because the difference between a consonant and a vowel.
