  • This vid went viral on Naypyidaw

  • Wow, very cool to see video of Searle. I had only seen his name mentioned in one of Derrida's books in response to criticism. He seems like a really cool guy.

  • Well that "iron curtain" is pragmatism in my opinion. In america they´re only worried about what kind of computers they can build from a philosophic concept, in europe we´re still concerned with knowing for the sake of knowing.

  • An excellent, concise & accurate explanation of Chomsky's generative grammar. Thanks for posting.

    

  • @NeoConvert

    I love how conservatives can't help them selves but use ad-hominems. Chomsky is no "insane"? Well if the most quoted intellectual alive today is insane then we are all in trouble.

  • @fjfjvmvm I would not call chomsky insane ... but he really doesnt know what he is talking about when it comes to several key aspect of political discourse. He is largely influenced by the mutualist and anarcho syndicalists of the 1800's , which is fine if one knows enough about economics to filter half of what they say out. Chomsky does not. It is all pre marginalist revolution garbage to be frank. And Böhm-Bawerk 's capital theory solves most of the issues they raised.

  • This is a brilliant section of a very good overview. Thanks flame0430.

  • it's funny that searle expresses skepticism towards cartesianism and praises chomsky's conception of acquisition of language as a-priori knowlledge.

    it occurs to me that philosophy of language has dethrowned metaphysics as the most fundamental area of inquirey in philosophy and would go as far as to suggest that it has made metaphysics obsolete.

  • When was this program originally created?
