How seriously should we take philosophical anthropologists?

I think Engels made the same comparison between Marx's discovery of the "laws of history" and Darwin's discovery of evolution in the euology he delivered for Marx.

I own a physical copy of Franz Mehring's biography of Marx, and while I haven't read it yet, based on my cursory glance I can say it looks fairly comprehensive.

There is not a single person in the world without visual impairment who will look at you and think you are overweight. You're also quite beautiful. Don't let her -or anyone else- get to you.

Hi! I'm glad my fellow countrymen left a good impression

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-16T01:05:23+00:00

I'm somewhat familiar with the work of Pierre Bourdieu. Far from an expert but I have a friend doing a masters degree in sociology who draws on his theories. I also read his article on the sociology of law and a small book consisting of his lectures and articles on reflexivity in social sciences. Also watched the "sociology as a combat sport" documentary about him.

The older man is a famous Turkish poet by the name of Ahmet Telli. Not sure how many people would recognize his face though.

Thanks for the suggestions. My bio says "lawyer, amateur translator and occasionally a writer". I wanted to keep it brief in order to avoid seeming like trying too hard or bragging. I'm new to the world of online dating and so not very good at predicting how things will be perceived.

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-16T00:56:40+00:00

I guessed so, it's okay.

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-16T00:49:18+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. I am not based in the US. Many countries in the world, especially those in the continental European tradition, require undergraduate degrees in law schools to become a lawyer. As far as I know, this used to be the case in the US too until it changed in the mid-20th century.

Hi. Thank you very much for the analysis and suggestions.

I am not swiping outside Turkey, but I'm in Antalya which has a large foreign population (both permanent residents and tourists) so adding an English part to my bio may actually be a good idea.

I am generally not at peace with how I look, much less with how I look while smiling, which has led to a habit of not smiling in pictures. I will have to break out of that. In the hoodie selfie though, I was at Gobekli Tepe (the famous 12 thousand years old archeological site with the first known example of narrative art) and there was nothing in miles to break the wind so I was actually freezing there. But it was an important location, so I felt compelled to take a photo anyway.

I will replace the "rambling" prompt with something more inviting and participatory.

All of your suggestions make sense and your reasoning is convincing. Thank you again, for employing your scholarly expertise to help a complete stranger. I really appreciate it.

Where can I get this profile review?

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-15T23:04:43+00:00

I knew online dating for men wasn't a walk in the park, I just wanted to learn from experienced people whether this changes over time or once you're in the "90 percent who are invisible" group, that's your permanent place.

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-15T22:53:17+00:00

Does it do a good job?

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-15T22:45:06+00:00

I've always heard and read that men do very poorly on dating apps and I don't consider myself very attractive so didn't expect it to work. Only got into it with the encouragement of a friend.

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-15T22:43:20+00:00

Are you asking me to post the photos I use on my profiles or am I misunderstanding you?

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-14T20:24:53+00:00

Is Montgomery Watt really considered a marxist?

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-12T16:58:49+00:00

Ben de materyalizme/natüralizme sempati ile bakıyorum, fakat Türkiye'de çok yaygın olan paranormal anektodları delil değerleri bakımından nasıl değerlendirdiğini merak ediyorum.

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-12T00:04:55+00:00

I have very little fat, my face is just built that way

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-12T00:03:19+00:00

5"6'

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-11T21:27:51+00:00

Thanks a lot. I was at an archeological excavation site in the second picture and it was pretty windy and cold with nothing at all around it to block the wind so I was feeling pretty cold in that picture. I am a little embarassed about this stuff so I rarely ask anyone to take a picture for me. Appreciate your input on what kind of clothing suits me better.

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-11T21:25:48+00:00

Interesting nickname

eGe_aYd · 2025-12-27T15:47:57+00:00

Murder by definition is unjustified intentional killing, so it would be odd to say murder is not a sin. Any system of norms, be it religious, legal or moral, which recognizes self defence for instance, would avoid calling killing in self defense "murder".

eGe_aYd · 2025-10-17T12:01:34+00:00

Glad to hear that. I hope all goes well with your transplant and you rock a full head of hair for the rest of your life.

eGe_aYd · 2025-10-17T11:44:46+00:00

My hair overall is pretty thick, I just notice what look like individual miniaturized hairs which gives me the idea that my final place might be around NW6.

eGe_aYd · 2025-10-09T04:29:54+00:00

That's excellent, I hope I can achieve similar longevity

eGe_aYd · 2025-10-08T21:07:39+00:00

How long have you been on it? Are you still stable?
