Guest article by Dipl. Ing. Jürgen Uphoff: “The cardinal principle of #nature? #Dialectical #phenomenology of #matter - an attempt at a foundation”

Jürgen attempts to illuminate the “thing-in-itself” from a completely different #perspective and to strive for a “synthesis of #ontology and #epistemology”. In doing so, he intends to redefine the concepts of matter and #consciousness, which he wants to derive with the help of #Hegelian #dialectics.

Mythos and traditions are needed for revolutions to put down roots

If you want your revolution to succeed, it's a good path to build and grow from mythos and traditions, to look to your shared histories. Marxism and European #anarchism are coming back into fashion as source code of radical politics. But if we are to actually achieve anything this time round, we need to see and act in a #KISS understanding that most of what they propose already existed in indigenous and non-Western cultures. Ideas like #mutualaid, communal land, anti-hierarchy, #dialectics […]

The Lotus and the Algorithm: Cultivating Ethical Inquiry through Wild Artisan Dialectics (AI Generated) In an era where artificial intelligence permeates nearly every facet of our lives, the ethical implications of technology have never been more urgent. At the same time, ancient wisdom traditions—such as Buddhism—remind us that true understanding arises from the delicate interplay of inquiry, transformation, and the natural unfolding of truth. #WAD #Dialectics #AI #Ethics #Buddism

Reshaping Wisdom: The Artisan's Journey in Ethical Hermeneutics and Mindful Phenomenology (AI Generated) Hans-Georg Gadamer argued that understanding is shaped by history, experience, and the ongoing conversation between tradition and present inquiry. Husserlian phenomenology emphasizes intentionality—how consciousness is always directed toward something—and epoché, the suspension of preconceived judgments. #WAD #Dialectics #Phenomenology #Hermeneutics #Ethics #Mindfulness

WAD Overview (AI Generated) A comprehensive look at both topics with detailed research, analysis, and recommendations. Overview of Wild Artisan Dialectics (WAD) Wild Artisan Dialectics (WAD) is a philosophical framework emerging from an artisan‐inspired outlook on ethics and creativity. Although it is not widely documented in traditional academic sources, recent writings—such as an article by Mr Jarukitti Sapparojpattana on Medium—outline its core ideas. #WAD #Dialectics #Hermeneutics #Ethics

The Identity of the Wild Artisan: Embodying Untamed Wisdom and Disciplined Presence (AI Generated) Would you say that this view of the wild artisan captures the dynamic interplay between the unbridled potential of inner awareness and the steady, persistent cultivation of virtue? The journey continues as each insight refines the art of being—ever evolving, untamed yet precisely directed toward the ultimate embrace of truth. #Hermeneutics #Dialectics #ethics #Buddhism #BuddhistPragmatism

Wild Artisan Dialectics: A Living Hermeneutic, Dialectic, and Ethical Praxis (Generated) Wild Artisan Dialectics emerges as a counterbalance—a living engagement with truth that honors spontaneity, individuality, and untamed wisdom. Rooted in Buddhist thought, this approach weaves hermeneutics, dialectics, and ethics into a path of deep inquiry, refined understanding, and mindful conduct. #Buddhism #Hermeneutics #Dialectics #ethics #Morality

The Uncompromised Revival: Embracing Authenticity in Dhamma Sakaccha (AI Generated) In an era when philosophical debates often morph into commodified discourse, the call is to preserve Dhamma Sakaccha in its untouched, ancient purity. This essay explores the vision of revitalization through a wild artisan inquiry: one that respects the original essence while allowing authentic, organic growth. #Buddhism #Hermeneutics #Dialectics #philosophy

Wild Artisan’s Philosophical Framework: A Journey Beyond Fixed Boundaries (AI Generated) This essay explores the evolution of the Wild Artisan’s Philosophical Framework, charting a course from Theravāda Buddhist principles, through multi-contextual philosophical encounters, to the realization of Mindful Pragmatism—an approach where redescription and ethical fluidity guide intellectual engagement rather than fixed essences. #Hermeneutics #Dialectics #Ethics #Theravada #BuddhistPragmatism

Dhamma Sakaccha: The Ethical Principles of Buddhist Dialectical Hermeneutics (AI Generated) This essay outlines how Dhamma Sakaccha can be understood as the ethical principles of Buddhist dialectical hermeneutics, a method that integrates rigorous reasoning with moral clarity. It presents a comprehensive framework grounded in foundational principles, dialectical methods, and modern applications. #Dialectics #Hermeneutics #Ethics #Buddhism #postmodernity #AncientWisdom

opinion ≠ truth
What always really gets on my nerves, even with myself, is the misuse of words. You see it everywhere. It's not just the propagandistic distortions and Orwellian re-purposing that cause concern. Very often it's simply the carelessness that people commit in order to make themselves look a little better, perhaps in a very human way.

But these are by no means just trivial offences. Language is very powerful and economical – it represents real things.

Something that is extremely noticeable is the misuse and mixing of opinion and truth. Everyone knows that you publish an opinion and it takes less than 10 minutes for someone to have a counter-opinion. This is actually a good and dialectical practice. You could use argument (thesis) and counter-argument (antithesis) to arrive at a new insight (synthesis) and learn something. Understand the other and yourself better.

As we all know, this only happens on the internet once every 2.8 million years. One reason for this is the misuse of words. Opinion above all and exclusively one's own opinion is equated with truth. You are right. Your own opinion is supposedly right. But one peculiarity of opinion is that it is NEVER true.

By definition, an opinion cannot be true. Because if it were true, it would be the truth and thus no longer an opinion. Of course, it may happen that one of the opinions turns out to be true, that it is proven. But at that very moment it is no longer an opinion, but simply the truth. Which includes that the other opinions on the subject, which previously existed on an equal footing with the now true statement, are superfluous and must be discarded.

This shows how extreme the effects can be if you don't use words correctly. If you set an obvious opinion (and there are many things for which no definitive true statements exist) as the truth, you are not only an unpleasant person, but you are also stating that the opinions of others (i.e. the potential antitheses) are superfluous. Without proving that these statements are false, but one denies the validity of the other's statement.

This is, of course, a deeply depressing state of affairs. Which makes it impossible to negotiate the problems. A reactionary work.

Philosophy of Right by G. W. F. Hegel

Complete and unabridged, this edition of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's 1821 classic offers a comprehensive view of the philosopher's influential system. In the Philosophy of Right, Hegel applies his most important concept — the dialectics — to law, rights, morality, the family, economics, and the state.

Philosophy for beginners: today dialectics and ambivalence.
Why are so many high when they are low? There is something wrong with that.
I have now learned that I am slipping more and more from entertainment into adult education. Not entirely voluntarily, but I accept it.

Das ist ziemlich überzeugend.
"Very simply put, here’s what I believe happened: In the process of accumulating enormous wealth, the tech-oligarchs created the conditions for their loss of social power and, when they realized this, they got a big dose of class consciousness and turned furiously reactionary"
