Words:
What up Subscribers, you've finally arrived at the rapping vlogs
where I strive to find time to write rhymes and practise what
my mind decided nine years past it wanted to catalogue
in between praying to Rap Gods and listening to Alan Watts
And thanks a lot for participating: I intended to get prolific stay creative
spit some random frees just to get to engage with
My subscriber base with a more regular basis
I requested topics, in my statement but then got inundated.
don't stop with this, you prophets with phenomenal cognition
suggesting more topics than I could possibly drop in writtens
without boring a potential audience whom I probably want to listen
so it means I gotta be selective in the topic I drop with precision
otherwise my mind and body could by chopped by improper dualism
when there's an ominous danger of a cog that's in the system
getting clogged up, and abominably throttling my vision
it's obviously time to return to a philosophy of anomalous monism
And possibly, if possible, without taking a stand on this
it's time for me to step out of the anonymous grip of the basilisk
and state that I am religious but not in the classic sense
I'm with Giordano Bruno, you now know Hugo is a Pantheist
A form of monism, in the sense that God is a synonym
for all that exists, all that is in this universal prism
This is the knowledge that helped me scale the walls of the prison
and another chosen element which fills me with optimism
gives me a vision, gets me ready for action
gives me some faith that glorious revolution can naturally happen
let's me know the benevolent equanimity behind evolution in pattern
more than any Rustling Branded interview with Jeremy Paxman
Alright that's it for this edition, thanks for the suggestions
keep em coming, even if I can't ever be addressing
all of them, please don't take it badly, it's not rejection
Thanks for listening to this vlog transmission of hip hoptimism in session

When i read and look what philosophers say and write, i notice they still take epiphenomenalism as a serious option, although they do not necessarily believe in it. In this video i try to show that even the possibility of epiphenomenalism is based on a mistake.

An interesting discussion between two great philosophers of the latter half of the 20th century, exploring topics such as truth, meaning and reference. I apologize for the audio sync. It was a problem with the original file (not that it matters much, the video is simply two old men talking).
Richard Rorty (1931-2007) developed a distinctive and controversial brand of pragmatism that expressed itself along two main axes. One is negative—a critical diagnosis of what Rorty takes to be defining projects of modern philosophy. The other is positive—an attempt to show what intellectual culture might look like, once we free ourselves from the governing metaphors of mind and knowledge in which the traditional problems of epistemology and metaphysics (and indeed, in Rorty's view, the self-conception of modern philosophy) are rooted.

Donald Davidson (1917-2003) was one of the most important philosophers of the latter half of the twentieth century. His ideas, presented in a series of essays from the 1960's onwards, have been influential across a range of areas from semantic theory through to epistemology and ethics. Davidson's work exhibits a breadth of approach, as well as a unitary and systematic character, which is unusual within twentieth century analytic philosophy.

Both are introduced in a rather revivalist style, trumpeting a great post positivist resurgence in faith based thought that is set to sweep through philosophy. Although it has to be said that if the revolution is coming, and its distinct from the post-positivist turn of the sixties, it certainly seems, by 2013, to be taking its time. Its also worth researching the strident claims, or damning quotes, that contributors to these volumes (and others) make or cite, with some authority, as if these were settled matters amongst the cognoscenti. When, for example, Dallas Willard, in the former volume, talks (Ch2, p41) of the "rise and development of the mind/brain identity thesis during the last half of the twentieth century"; he seems to ignore the rather dramatic damping effect of Putnam's multiple realisability and Davidson's anomalous monism on it during the late 60's and early 70's. I've found that are many many more juicy fau pa's of this sort littered throughout conservative apologist literature, should one care to scrutinize it.

Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_mind
Monism is the position that mind and body are not ontologically distinct kinds
of entities. This view was first advocated in Western philosophy by Parmenides
in the 5th century BC and was later espoused by the 17th century rationalist
Baruch Spinoza. Physicalists argue that only the entities postulated by
physical theory exist, and that the mind will eventually be explained in terms
of these entities as physical theory continues to evolve. Idealists maintain
that the mind is all that exists and that the external world is either mental
itself, or an illusion created by the mind. Neutral monists such as Ernst Mach
and William James argue that events in the world can be thought of as either
mental (psychological) or physical depending on the network of relationships
into which they enter, and dual-aspect monists such as Spinoza adhere to the
position that there is some other, neutral substance, and that both matter and
mind are properties of this unknown substance. The most common monisms in the 20th
and 21st centuries have all been variations of physicalism; these positions
include behaviorism, the type identity theory, anomalous monism and
functionalism.

Quantum mechanics and relativity have shown us that the nature of matter is vastly different than materialists and mechanists ever imagined. Even so, trying to accommodate conscious minds into the natural order has led to the hard problem of consciousness. This problem has led some scientists and philosophers to embrace the notion of strong emergence and the view of panpsychism. But are these really explanatory or even all that different at bottom? Michael Silberstein thinks not. He argues that people are led to such views because of a mistaken conception of matter. Following structural realists like James Ladyman, he argues against the idea that matter has intrinsic properties. On this view, relations and structure are conceived of as fundamental rather than objects or individuals which stand in such relations. In this way, entities "arise out of" their relations to other things, and have no genuine existence apart from such relations. Silberstein further proposes a contextualist understanding of structural realism. When applied to the domain of mentality and consciousness, he gets out a view similar to that of William James and his neutral monism. He also finds similar ideas in Buddhism and in the work of Phenomenologists like Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty - where the self and world are interdependent - as against the traditional representationalist view of there being the subject/mind on the one side, and the external world on the other, which leads to skeptical problems involving perception and how knowledge of reality could be possible at all to begin with.
This talk was given at Wesleyan University on 10/12/2015.

The Austrian physicist Ernst Mach, the American psychologist William James, and the British philosopher Bertrand Russell shared an interest in explaining the mind in naturalistic terms – unified with the rest of nature, not metaphysically distinct as Descartes argued. In The Realistic Empiricism of Mach, James, and Russell: Neutral Monism Reconceived (Cambridge University Press, 2014), Erik C. Banks delves into the movement that these three figures launched, for the first time showing how they provide a unified, if incomplete, theory of the mind. Realistic empiricism combines a direct realist view about knowledge with neutral monism – the idea that the basic events that make up the world are neither mental nor physical and can be manifested as either. Banks also advances the position as a non-panpsychist contender in contemporary philosophy of mind, and outlines the underlying mathematical framework for the basic events.

Anomalous monism is a philosophical thesis about the mind-body relationship. It was first proposed by Donald Davidson in his 1970 paper Mental events. The theory is twofold and states that mental events are identical with physical events, and that the mental is anomalous, i.e. under their mental descriptions these mental events are not regulated by strict physical laws. Hence, Davidson proposes an identity theory of mind without the reductive bridge laws associated with the type-identity theory. Since the publication of his paper, Davidson has refined his thesis and both critics and supporters of anomalous monism have come up with their own characterizations of the thesis, many of which appear to differ from Davidson's.
Considering views about the relation between the mental and the physical as distinguished first by whether or not mental entities are identical with physical entities, and second by whether or not there are strict psychophysical laws, we arrive at a fourfold classification: (1) nomological monism, which says there are strict correlating laws, and that the correlated entities are identical (this is usually called type physicalism); (2) nomological dualism, which holds that there are strict correlating laws, but that the correlated entities are not identical (parallelism and pre-established harmony); (3) anomalous dualism, which holds there are no laws correlating the mental and the physical, and that the substances are ontologically distinct (i.e. Cartesian dualism); and (4) anomalous monism, which allows only one class of entities, but denies the possibility of definitional and nomological reduction. Davidson put forth his theory of anomalous monism as a possible solution to the mind-body problem.

it's time for me to step out of the anonymous grip of the basilisk
and state that I am religious but not in the classic sense
I'm with Giordano Bruno, you now know Hugo is a Pantheist
A form of monism, in the sense that God is a synonym
for all that exists, all that is in this universal prism
This is the knowledge that helped me scale the walls of the prison
and another chosen element which fills me with optimism
gives me a vision, gets me ready for action
gives me some faith that glorious revolution can naturally happen
let's me know the benevolent equanimity behind evolution in pattern
more than any Rustling Branded interview with Jeremy Paxman
Alright that's it for this edition, thanks for the suggestions
keep em coming, even if I can't ever be addressing
all of them, please don't take it badly, it's not rejection
Thanks for listening to this vlog transmission of hip hoptimism in session

An interesting discussion between two great philosophers of the latter half of the 20th century, exploring topics such as truth, meaning and reference. I apologize for the audio sync. It was a problem with the original file (not that it matters much, the video is simply two old men talking).
Richard Rorty (1931-2007) developed a distinctive and controversial brand of pragmatism that expressed itself along two main axes. One is negative—a critical diagnosis of what Rorty takes to be defining projects of modern philosophy. The other is positive—an attempt to show what intellectual culture might look like, once we free ourselves from the governing metaphors of mind and knowledge in which the traditional problems of epistemology and metaphysics (and indeed, in Rorty's view, the self-conception of modern philosophy) are rooted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Rorty#Biography
Donald Davidson (1917-2003) was one of the most important philosophers of the latter half of the twentieth century. His ideas, presented in a series of essays from the 1960's onwards, have been influential across a range of areas from semantic theory through to epistemology and ethics. Davidson's work exhibits a breadth of approach, as well as a unitary and systematic character, which is unusual within twentieth century analytic philosophy.

Both are introduced in a rather revivalist style, trumpeting a great post positivist resurgence in faith based thought that is set to sweep through philosophy. Although it has to be said that if the revolution is coming, and its distinct from the post-positivist turn of the sixties, it certainly seems, by 2013, to be taking its time. Its also worth researching the strident claims, or damning quotes, that contributors to these volumes (and others) make or cite, with some authority, as if these were settled matters amongst the cognoscenti. When, for example, Dallas Willard, in the former volume, talks (Ch2, p41) of the "rise and development of the mind/brain identity thesis during the last half of the twentieth century"; he seems to ignore the rather dramatic damping effect of Putnam's multiple realisability and Davidson's anomalous monism on it during the late 60's and early 70's. I've found that are many many more juicy fau pa's of this sort littered throughout conservative apologist literature, should one care to scrutinize it.

Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_mind
Monism is the position that mind and body are not ontologically distinct kinds
of entities. This view was first advocated in Western philosophy by Parmenides
in the 5th century BC and was later espoused by the 17th century rationalist
Baruch Spinoza. Physicalists argue that only the entities postulated by
physical theory exist, and that the mind will eventually be explained in terms
of these entities as physical theory continues to evolve. Idealists maintain
that the mind is all that exists and that the external world is either mental
itself, or an illusion created by the mind. Neutral monists such as Ernst Mach
and William James argue that events in the world can be thought of as either
mental (psychological) or physical depending on the network of relationships
into which they enter, and dual-aspect monists such as Spinoza adhere to the
position that there is some other, neutral substance, and that both matter and
mind are properties of this unknown substance. The most common monisms in the 20th
and 21st centuries have all been variations of physicalism; these positions
include behaviorism, the type identity theory, anomalous monism and
functionalism.

Quantum mechanics and relativity have shown us that the nature of matter is vastly different than materialists and mechanists ever imagined. Even so, trying to accommodate conscious minds into the natural order has led to the hard problem of consciousness. This problem has led some scientists and philosophers to embrace the notion of strong emergence and the view of panpsychism. But are these really explanatory or even all that different at bottom? Michael Silberstein thinks not. He argues that people are led to such views because of a mistaken conception of matter. Following structural realists like James Ladyman, he argues against the idea that matter has intrinsic properties. On this view, relations and structure are conceived of as fundamental rather than objects or individuals which stand in such relations. In this way, entities "arise out of" their relations to other things, and have no genuine existence apart from such relations. Silberstein further proposes a contextualist understanding of structural realism. When applied to the domain of mentality and consciousness, he gets out a view similar to that of William James and his neutral monism. He also finds similar ideas in Buddhism and in the work of Phenomenologists like Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty - where the self and world are interdependent - as against the traditional representationalist view of there being the subject/mind on the one side, and the external world on the other, which leads to skeptical problems involving perception and how knowledge of reality could be possible at all to begin with.
This talk was given at Wesleyan University on 10/12/2015.

The Austrian physicist Ernst Mach, the American psychologist William James, and the British philosopher Bertrand Russell shared an interest in explaining the mind in naturalistic terms – unified with the rest of nature, not metaphysically distinct as Descartes argued. In The Realistic Empiricism of Mach, James, and Russell: Neutral Monism Reconceived (Cambridge University Press, 2014), Erik C. Banks delves into the movement that these three figures launched, for the first time showing how they provide a unified, if incomplete, theory of the mind. Realistic empiricism combines a direct realist view about knowledge with neutral monism – the idea that the basic events that make up the world are neither mental nor physical and can be manifested as either. Banks also advances the position as a non-panpsychist contender in contemporary philosophy of mind, and outlines the underlying mathematical framework for the basic events.
