I recognize the first (i think therefore i am, Descartes big innovation) but my Latin is not great, what is the 2nd? Something like "that is perceived?“
You're making me remember a term exam I had in my only philo class, freshman world philosophy. The professor asked something like the following,
My neighbor told me he thinks me feeding the birds in my backyard isn't good for the environment. What do you think? Is it right, wrong or something else? Use what you've learned this semester to answer.
I thought this was brilliant because he got to have a room full of undergrads think and write about a real moral conflict he was having with another human, and also, good for having us use our educatuon as applied to a real question.
I can vaguely remember my answer, but I don't really remember any of the world philosophy...
I've always thought that was one of the successes of Marx, is that even if his system has never existed in the world, it was such an interesting framework to work with that it spanned a whole discipline of thought. Not a failure at all in my eyes, even if it wasn't the success Marx intended.
I got as far as foucault, and the main thing i took away was that even with wildly differing moral philosophies, two people can always come to understand each other's position if they can talk to each other long enough, though they won't always agree in the end. There is no universal truth that is true for all of us.
There is a whole category of misunderstandings that happen when contexts collide.
I feel like science tries to get specific so they can make predictions and explain phenomena, but using the same language the rest of us gives us things like the penguin and sparrow conflict, tomato is a fruit, strawberries aren't berries, etc.
Meanwhile I'm over here like, not only can you call all insects "bugs", you can call spiders, small arthropods, anything that fits the general vibe of small and bug-like, so long as you're not causing misunderstandings in a scientific context.
