At this stage I am deliberately holding myself from forming any definitive judgments.<br /><br />cheers<br />AliAli Rizvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007625357436861947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259704.post-1097276440222171892004-10-09T09:00:00.000+10:002004-10-09T09:00:00.000+10:00I fundamentally agree with your perceptive comment...I fundamentally agree with your perceptive comments. However in order to do justice to you and Habermas I need more time than I have available at the moment. So I shall come back to your comments when I have more time. However for the time being I have added a new post which relates to and develop on some themes in your comments.<br />cheers<br />AliAli Rizvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007625357436861947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259704.post-1097036164910563162004-10-06T14:16:00.000+10:002004-10-06T14:16:00.000+10:00Perhaps it is more like a rotation.

We certainly regard Plato's reasoning as being figorous for some topics, and certainly don't dismiss it like we might dismiss a shamanic argument for weather patterns, for example.<br /><br />It seems in the U.S. that a more mythological / spiritual argumentative process carries a great deal of weight - they brin issues down to simple issues, prefer to deal with question emotively rather that rationally.<br /><br />Perhaps evolution in this context means change rather than implying any kind of moral "improvement" in reasoning ability. The devaluation might be actual, but there might not be any kind of semantic "betterness" or "worseness".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11384742711203790401noreply@blogger.com
