But, in any case, what I seem to be trying to do is get rid of the philosophy and deal with the product.Jacob Silvermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13321984006847799071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273378123543545458.post-15632096619681658312016-04-21T08:49:31.325-07:002016-04-21T08:49:31.325-07:00There is an of/or confutation in the aboveThere is an of/or confutation in the aboveJacob Silvermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13321984006847799071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273378123543545458.post-81701583684227659722016-04-16T13:51:21.107-07:002016-04-16T13:51:21.107-07:00Knowledge, in other words, is not normally availab...Knowledge, in other words, is not normally available "as such." This is the note on which I begin the above fragment. It has to be put into words. So it is not "as such." Of course, philosophers are the ones who may at least make some kind of attempt to transcend that boundary, or deal with the issue here, so I had to point out the exception. And of course these too are called arguments of "philosophical argument." But, I am just using the word "argument," not making the philosophers' kind. I don't even think I know any philosophers. I am talking about the more general case of "arguments," so this means in the form of rhetoric, ideology, or yes physical products----which are "arguments." Even the availability of iron or steel is a kind of "argument" for the economic trading system that makes those things available, and also creates a new kind of ("capitalist") civilization.<br />Jacob Silvermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13321984006847799071noreply@blogger.com
