"[Algernon] Sidney insisted, as Locke did, that the right to rebel is confined to the right to reinstitute lawful government; nothing justifies mere rebellion, certainly not the ambition of a would-be tyrant. Tyrannical government is the supreme evil against which we have to guard." (Ryan, 2012:516)

There's not one hard problem of #consciousness, but at least three. 1) There's a problem of how life emerges from material, 2) of how animal minds emerge from living matter, and 3) how human minds emerge from cultures. #PhilosophyOfMind #philosophy

The numerical structure of metaphysics: monism implies duality, which in turn implies a third, mediating point by which the two poles of the dual system interact. This triplet implies a fourth point, containing both initial terms of the duality as well as the third point of mediation, all together.

“...the indispensability of mathematics to empirical science gives us good reason to believe in the existence of mathematical entities” (Quine, 1976). But, is it true? And, in the context of Quine's commitment to naturalism, is it circular?

"We were seeking an art based on fundamentals, cure the madness of the age, and a new order of things that would restore the balance between heaven and hell...We had a dim premonition that power-mad gangsters would one day use art itself as a way of deadening men’s mind.”

The concept of representation has a dual structure, the represented and the one having the representation. So the epistemologies based on representation, from Galileo to Kant, all tend toward dualism, thereby incurring all of the most intractable sceptical problems.

We know that in some ways Galileo was committed to a kind of Platonism. And yet he introduces one of the most important features of empiricist philosophy, the distinction between primary and secondary qualities, a distinction that generates skeptical problems. #philosophy #scepticism
