Pill Pod 60 - New Consciousness (Exclusive)
Added 2021-11-12 13:00:06 +0000 UTCHere we go back a few pages from the intro, to discuss the "prejudices" in philosophy of mind, or, the 3.5 positions that Merleau-Ponty contrasts with his own concept of the "habitual body." These prejudices are: empiricism, intellectualism, psychologism, and clinical physiology.
Now while this may sound like nerd shit, a good deal of pedestrian philosophies of mind conclude that either there is no mind, really (empiricism), or that there is nothing determinate in the world, and your outlook on it is all that matters (intellectualism). We go back to Locke, Berkeley, Descartes, Kant and Husserl to figure out the problem MMP is addressing here.
Attached is the section on Attention and Judgement that we read for this ep.

This episode combined with the pair on Peirce's semiotics with Erik formed a great foundation for understanding DeLanda's new book Materialist Phenomenology. wonder if you guys and other Patrons on here have bumped into this. Seems fascinating, Chapter 1 is out for free on the interwebs.
