>>24758617Nooooooo!
>>24758617This is the second time I've killed a philosopher by reading him. Am I jinxed or something?

Reminder that he got assblasted by Derrida
>>24758707
>>24758707I would too. Dude's the charlatan of charlatans
>>24758634He developed the theory of intentionality which allegedly disproves behaviorism through the use of JL Austin's "speech act theory". He considered his approach to be "biological naturalism". I mentioned him in passing in a recent essay of minehttps://adolfstalin.substack.com/p/extra-spiritual-perception
>>24758630How can Democrats win back young men??
>>24758714I would also get blasted by Derrida>>24758711Just look at him. A certain air of nonchalant je-ne-sais-quoi. So alluring.
>>24759171>So alluring.Indeed.
If you want a quick reminder of the petty irrelevance of analytic philosophy, look no further than when a number of the most prominent ones came together to make a letter in the early 90s to protest Derrida getting an honorary doctorate from Cambridge.
Philosophers shouldn't die of old age because we should hang them while they can still cause damage
>a masculine man, so true in his ways>he thought of thought, as a means to an end>an old bitter hag, jealous and cruel>she hated this man, fir what he stood for>a story she made, false and cunning>to send this poor old man to lonely death with a frownEven a College educated guy huh? Couldn't he crash with some wealthy student or fan?
>>24758617Actual R.I.P. Had to study one of his books for the philosophy of law class. It was fun.And he came for a lesson too.
>>24759227>came together to make a letter in the early 90s to protest Derrida getting an honorary doctorate from Cambridge.Kek is Derrida the true boogeyman of the analytics? I would have thought it was Hegel, why dont I ever hear about this Derrida guy then
>>24759694Searle never caused to damage to anyone. Take your meds.

RIP. he btfo dennett and that was really funny to read about.
Are you well-educated, /lit/?>Nonetheless, our lack of a well-defined objective is not a good enough reason to avoid stating some features of a general theory of education. In fact, it does not seem to me very difficult to describe some of the necessary conditions for being a well-educated person.>First, the student should have enough knowledge of his or her cultural tradition to know how it got to be the way it is. This involves both political and social history, on the one hand, as well as the mastery of some of the great philosophical and literary texts of the culture on the other. It involves reading not only texts that are of great value, like those of Plato, but many less valuable that have been influential, such as the works of Marx. For the United States, the dominant tradition is, and for the foreseeable future, will remain the European tradition. The United States is, after all, a product of the European Enlightenment. However, you do not understand your own tradition if you do not see it in relation to others. Works from other cultural traditions need to be studied as well.>If these two streams, both the political-social and the philosophical-literary, are well organized and well taught, the claims of the various minorities should have their place. Intelligently taught social and political histories of Europe and the United States, for example, should recognize the history of all of the major components of European and American society, including those that have been treated unjustly. It is important, however, to get rid of the ridiculous notion that there is something embarrassing or lamentable about the fact that most of the prominent political and intellectual leaders of our culture over the past two thousand years or so have been white males. This is just a historical fact whose causes should be explored and understood. To deny it or attempt to suppress the works of such thinkers is not simply racism, it is unintelligent.>Second, you need to know enough of the natural sciences so that you are not a stranger in the world. This means, at a minimum, that you need to know enough about physics and chemistry to understand how the physical world is constructed. This would also include at least a smattering of knowledge of the general and special theories of relativity, and an understanding of why quantum mechanics is so philosophically challenging. Furthermore, at a minimum, you must have enough biology to understand the Darwinian revolution, and to understand recent developments in genetics and microbiology.>Third, you need to know enough about how society works so that you understand what a trade cycle is, or how interest rates will affect the value of the currency, for example. In short, you need to have some knowledge of the subject matter that used to be called political economy.
>>24761218>Fourth, you need to know at least one foreign language well enough so that you can read the best literature that that language has produced in the original, and so you carry on a reasonable conversation and have dreams in that language. There are several reasons why this is crucial, but the most important is perhaps this: you can never understand one language until you understand at least two.>Fifth, you need to know enough philosophy so that the methods of logical analysis are available to you to be used as a tool. One of the most depressing things about educated people today is that so few of them, even among professional intellectuals, are able to follow the steps of a simple logical argument.>Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you need to acquire the skills of writing and speaking that make for candor, rigor, and clarity. You cannot think clearly if you cannot speak and write clearly.>Just acquiring this amount of "education" will not, by itself, make you an educated person, even less will it give you what Oakeshott calls "judgment." But if the manner of instruction is adequate, the student should be able to acquire this much knowledge in a way that combines intellectual openness, critical scrutiny, and logical clarity. If so, learning will not stop when the student leaves the university. None of the books I have been reading about higher education makes even these elementary points.https://www.ditext.com/searle/searle1.html
