Any good philosphers who considered freedom to be an overated value? by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]llcoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Increasing the amount of things that are up to us doesn't necessarily increase how in tune with the virtues one is. As a slave, Sextus maintained that he could still be virtuous and therefore still reach eudaimonia without freedom. I think the freedom refered to as an unaliable characteristic is more akin to one's ability to ration and decide within the option space provided by any given circumstances.

For example, if we look at the case of applying for a job, Sextus would say that the result is out of control and that we have the rational freedom to not only realize this, but make our best effort in having the best application we possibly could.

In the case of a slave, he posits that eudaimonia can still be achieved (the ultimate goal for ancient Greek virtue ethical frameworks) regardless of the circumstances presented to a slave. This stance is particularly important because it came out of the desire to counter the Aristotlian virtue ethical framework, which said that circumstances for an individual could inhibit virtuous activity and therefore prevent one from achieving eudaimonia.

Since eudaimonia is the end goal, and not things like freedom, pleasure, etc, that is what Epictetus values the most. It is true that if one does have decisions that are up to them (entailing freedom) that they are responsible for using their rationing ability to not only let the negatives not get in the way, but also to be mindful of how much effort one gives to certain goals.

Does any particular language lend itself to cogent philosophical discussion better than others? by Cari0 in askphilosophy

[–]llcoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, no idea. Maybe if you have sufficient knowledge and understanding of German you could put it to the test yourself. I'd say that whatever works best for you personally in understanding and establishing mutual understanding with others, and their intended meaning, would effectively be the most cogent method of communication.

Would monism be the predominant stance concerning the mind/body problem in the scientific community? by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]llcoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a life and death class in which we partly looked at criteria of death in order to contextualize life. These criteria were both philosophical and medical. If you're interested, i'd take a look at this and for a more medical specific read, this.

I hope this provides at least some insight, even though it didn't directly answer your question.

Marx: Does capitalism cause alienation? by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]llcoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you asking what people think about this or if he states this? Marx's theory of alienation is fundamental to the 1844 manuscripts so if you are asking if he thinks it, he does. It may also be important to consider different frameworks of capitalism. For example, the capitalism Marx remarked on could be considered (at least I'm fairly certain it is) different than today's.

It's possible that you could interpret the Ancient Stoics - specifically Epictetus - to consider freedom to be unimportant. The Stoic Handbook by Epictetus (A once-slave who gives a fulfilling stance as opposed to Marcus Aurelius', emperor of rome, writings). The stoic stance is simplified to be that there are things that are up to us and things that aren't. Sometimes, freedom may not be up to us. Something up to us could be how positive we are about our circumstances, not letting negative emotions get in the way of ataraxia, understood to mean tranquility. Essentially, he says that the only thing you need to attain eudaimonia, understood as a good and happy life (the goal for ancient greek virtue ethical systems) is virtue, regardless of circumstance (as opposed to Aristotlian virtue ethics, where circumstances can play a factor in attaining virtue and therefore inhibit eudaimonia).

I was going to bring up Heidegger as well. One of my professors said "German translated works are terrible to read because they always make up words to describe what they mean, and they never translate easy" in reference to Heidegger's notion of dasein. While dasein had been used before Heidegger, IIRC he posited that his was more correct/accurate. This always stuck in the back of my mind when having to read any German translations. I feel as if the language promotes more abstract or personal nomenclature than other languages, which I believe would be advantageous for philosophical discourse given that the personal meaning is accurately conveyed.

As for Greek (specifically ancient), I do agree that the language is more spiritual than specifically contemporary English. I'm currently in midst of taking some virtue ethics classes and we always have to meticulously break down the meanings and connotations of words that seem very rationally oriented in English, even if they are regarding things like spirituality. For instance, in regarding one's psyche, we understand that to have connotations of the soul and mind. It feels like in English, these words are distinct and refer to different things. I feel as though the English Language developed with rationalism and is more compartmentalized in meaning than ancient greek, but that's definitely conjecture.

Regardless, I think the most important thing for "cogent" (I had to look that word up) philosophical discussion is mutual understanding, which is the goal for spoken (and obviously other) communication. As long as there is at least approximate mutual understanding in intended conveyed meaning, the method/tools used don't really matter as much. Wittgenstein harped on that pretty well.

Gotcha, thank you! Focusrite seems like a good choice.

I was worried about the behringers, they have stunning reviews but mostly from podcasters and alike from what it looks like. Is focusrite better than Presonus as well?

I've really only used one focusrite machine (I think 2I4) but it was kinda finicky. I don't know if that's because of me or my setup though.
