Text of the page (random words):
t before it can reach that level of acceptance one cannot be compelled purely by the formal majesty of logic and it seems incorrect to accuse those not so compelled of irrationality there is something deeply rational in its positive normative sense in delaying judgment even in the face of such apparently inescapable evidence the type of acceptance the philosopher thinks logical argument imposes is supposed to be relatively simple the acceptance of a proposition before you heard this argument you believed that p now you believe that not p or maybe you had a void which p now fills sounds straightforward enough right this is a ludicrous symbolization of how beliefs work however our beliefs are not atomistic in this sense unattached to other beliefs this is controversial in philosophy but let s just go with it for now to borrow a phrase from quine they exist in an interlocking web with all our other beliefs i have some qualms about belief talk but it s really not worth making this any more complicated than it already is so let s just press onward a change in belief is a traumatic episode especially if one s belief is central in one s web of beliefs is it really rational to rip apart one s web of beliefs in the face of such uncompelling evidence as a sound argument doesn t the conclusion have to seize one in a manner more meaningful that the inexorability of logical necessity philosophers need to think about this problem far more seriously than they have to date and not just accuse those who fall prey to it of irrationality it is far more pervasive and important as a phenomenon i think than has been heretofore acknowledged i will stop at this point having taken this as far as i can at the moment for those who care i was inspired by an essay by james conant in this collection entitled nietzsche s perfectionism a reading of schopenhauer as educator while not explicitly about this problem i think nietzsche s idea of becoming what one is as a centrally moral concept a becoming that occurs only with extreme difficulty and after much denial of what one is is a useful place to begin illuminating the question of why it is that logic is not enough for rationality or maybe rationality isn t enough for being human update i just wanted to include a quotation from heinrich von kleist who nietzsche approvingly cites in schopenhauer as educator not long ago i became acquainted with the kantian philosophy i have no reason to fear it will shatter you so profoundly and painfully as it has me if the point of this thought does not penetrate your heart do

david jacobs at 4 06 pm no comments wednesday september 2 2009 this is why i study philosophy these definitions coincide with the terms which since greek antiquity have been used to define the forms of government as the rule of man over man of one or the few in monarchy and oligarchy of the best or the many in aristocracy and democracy to which today we ought to add the latest and perhaps most formidable form of such dominion bureaucracy or the rule by an intricate system of bureaux in which no men neither one nor the best neither the few nor the many can be held responsible and which could be properly called the rule by nobody indeed if we identify tyranny as the government that is not held to give account of itself rule by nobody is clearly the most tyrannical of all since there is no one left who could even be asked to answer for what is being done it is this state of affairs which is among the most potent causes for the current world wide rebellious unrest h t glenn greenwald

those who disrupt a particular blog or message board intentionally or unintentionally greg mankiw is an econo blogosphere troll he disrupts the workings of the econo blogosphere as a whole with his insipid posts eventually brad delong gets tired of the stupid and fires off a nasty blog post but it s really kind of a waste of time mankiw has sacrificed any semblance of credibility at this point and should be ignored i understand how those who respond to mankiw mcardle and others of that ilk feel their intellectual dishonesty is infuriating but acknowledging them is just feeding the fire at

of them are irredeemable i think a great idea for a magazine or enterprising journalist would be to gather up all the facts about various media figures who have been nothing but wrong over the last decade or so and collect it all into one place my ideal figure for this would be either glenn greenwald or matt taibbi but they are probably considered too fringe it would be like the de nazification of germany after world war ii except for journalists we probably shouldn t execute any of them but you never know what can happen with all these slippery slopes lying around i want to make myself feel

his testicles resemble basketballs more than the tiny white ones slapped back and forth on a green table six shooters at his side and 10 gallon hat atop his head but the fact is that the cowboy

the mendacious fear mongers obviously share a significant measure of blame but the kow towing of the mainstream press to the right wing fear machine is at this point nothing less than dereliction of duty the press is composed of overpaid men and women with expensive haircuts who for all i can tell care more about their own celebrity and ratings than performing their function the story of how the right has worked the refs by their denunciations and complaints until all that is acceptable in a news piece is what the democrat said vs what the republican said regardless of veracity is a story that has already been well told by others so i won t repeat it but it certainly makes one reconsider the hand wringing over the financial problems of the print news if all reporters will do is write down what people say and print it isn t that worse than nothing if you can lie with imputiny and have your views show up in a national setting isn t that something to decry posted by david jacobs at 9

inherent in the republicans position contradictions that no intellectually honest person could hold but politicians are not in the business of coherence they are in the business of winning so maybe you can only make so much hay of that complaint at any rate i feel that since i am normally critical of douthat i should be willing to praise him when he deserves it and this is one of those times it is well worth reading i ve heard it said that it might have been a mistake to give seniors medicare back in the 60s because those of us in favor of universal healthcare robbed our cause of 1 the most consistent voting block in the country and 2 a voting block that has the most to gain from healthcare coverage provided by the government whatever the truth of that is it certainly does seem that there is an effective anti reform strategy involved in scaring seniors and douthat is right to point that out posted by david jacobs at 1 38 pm no comments sunday august 16 2009 ladies and gentlemen

hallmark of the fringe right the current crop of right wingers that cheered the patriot act but treat the readjustment of health care incentives as a grave abrogation of fundamental liberties see the world in the same way that anti communists in the 60s did when domestic spying and the vietnam war were necessary inconveniences and this is to say nothing about corporate power which in the conservative mind does not operate in a way that implicates private liberty while i appreciate brad delong linking to this piece and i agree that it s a mistake to assume that cronkite era journalism
