The Narrative of Suffering
The Buddhist reading group on LDS-Herm has been going great. One of the more interesting tangental discussions was on the place of suffering in LDS thought. It seems that suffering plays a great role in the narrative development of LDS self-identity. That is the suffering in Missouri during the Mormon wars there, the stories of [...]
Non-addictive Painkillers
Non-addictive painkillers. Nice. If we can get the new classes of antibiotics on the market too we’ll be doing really well. I’ve had friends addicted to painkillers and it really does mess people up.
Solar Chapels
Solar powered LDS meetinghouses
Breakaway Philosophers
Breakaway philosophers. Nothing we didn’t know already, but seeing it as graphs was very interesting. I must admit I’ve long wondered why Dewey’s influence wanes so dramatically in the 60′s.
Bloggingheads on Republicans
Good Bloggingheads TV on whether liberals and conservatives read outside of their political peers. Lots of stuff of late on whether a major portion of conservativism has become an echo chamber. While I confess I’ve really become concerned with the “low brow” populism of the conservative movement of late I’m skeptical of the echo chamber [...]
Leiter on the Supreme Court
Leiter thinks Janet Napolitano will be the next Justice. Probably the best conservatives could hope for from Obama if it pans out.
Language and the House of Being
Interesting snippet up at Enowning on Heidegger’s infamous statement Language is the house of Being. In its home man dwells. Those who think and those who create with words are the guardians of this home. (Heidegger, Letter on Humanism) To me it just means that being shouldn’t be taken as nearly as mysterious as some [...]
The Harman Debate
Deontologistics collection of posts on the Harman debate. I ordered Prince of Networks today and will start it as soon as I finish Badiou. So I may say more then.
NDE
More evidence for NDEs being due to CO2
Heidegger and the Bible
Heidegger and the Bible: The Event of Being, the Event of the Text. The question of how to de-contextualize script and make it apply today is always an interesting one. One, in one sense, can never be true to the text. But perhaps true to the text’s other.
Join LDS-Herm
I’d mentioned in the what are you reading thread about joining LDS-Herm. I noticed there weren’t very good instructions on how to join. To join go to LDS-Herm at Google Groups You’ll have to create a Google Groups account, but there’s not much to it. Especially if you already have a Gmail account.
Who Closed the Conservative Mind?
“Who Closed the Conservative Mind?” (HT: Gene Expression) Pretty fantastic piece on the topic of intellectual conservatism.
New Stambaugh Translation
Enowning posted a note about a revised translation of Being and Time. Rather than being a completely new translation this is the Stambaugh translation only revised by Dennis Schmidt. Presumably this is reaction to many of the complaints about Stambaugh’s version. So there are more German words in brackets. (Will that really make for a [...]
