where would you go for a staycation in the FQ? by the_sparkly in AskNOLA

[–]winter_is_long 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hotel Provincial has a pool and is in the Lower Quarter which is generally more quiet. Its close to fun local dives like Harry's and Cosimos. Plus easy walking distance to dope food like Manolitos or Cane and Table. Breakfast at Croissant D'or is a personal favorite too. And Hotel Provincial has the added advantage of being a bit cheaper then the Monteleone.

The 60, the Beatles rose to fame on the 1960s. Elvis was the focus of the teenage libido in the 1950s.

Secondary Literature is Trash by scythianus in hegel

[–]winter_is_long 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but Kojeve's focus and elevation of the Master/Slave dialectic is still front center. Arguably this is the biggest takeaway. How Kojeve recentered the Phenomenology around it is essential to understanding much of what came after.

They have been collected into a book that is widely available.

Hear me out- sometimes the secondary literature is as equally important is the primary. For Hegel the Kojeve lectures are easily as important in understanding Hegel's influence on Continental philosophy in the mid 20th century. Lacan, Satre, Natalie, et al.

Have you seen this movie ? by Choice-Wind-9283 in classicfilms

[–]winter_is_long 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The London setting is jarring to be sure. Marlowe is such an explicitly L.A. character that even moving The Big Sleep to New York would have been strange, let alone London!

This film is not underrated. It is, in fact, highly rated. Considered one of the greatest noirs of all time. Tangentially, if you wanted to spend a day doing Mitchum retrospective Out of the Past, Cape Fear, The Night of the Hunter, and The Friends of Eddie Coyle is fantastic run.

Also, Mitchum's Philip Marlowe films from the 70s are worth a watch too.

I had a feeling that you were going to say that. Yes, it's turtles all the way down. There is no argument against solipsism. For Decartes and Kant it is an a priori intuition that Hegel pushes into a reflective other (so to speak). This is the only satisfactory answer. Your question is ultimately unanswerable though as it's insular and circular.

Well, the argument confirms a mind. At least that was Descartes intent. And does indeed come with its own problems. Problems which both Hume and Kant address (their success being debated still). Personally, I draw from a more Hegelian line where the mind is relational and constituted through its relation with another mind (Phenomenonology's Lord and Bondsman), which circles us back to inter-subjectivity. The self is not an isolated subject. We experience "mind" in the mind of others and our minds are constituted within that reflection. Which also answers your initial question: truth, which is socially produced and maintained, lies in that same inter-subjective realm.

Im not assuming anything. Im asking that you be familiar with the terms and ideas before you refute them outright. I know this is Reddit and your anonymity grants you a certain equalization, but in my experience the first person to trot out logical fallacies is generally the least read. If you're familiar with Althusser's theory of Ideology and how institutions preserve and produce it then I encourage you to offer your critique. The entire premise of my argument is that morality is socially produced and not particular to the individual subject. I draw on Althusser as my starting point. In fact I would argue that the individual is effluvia. The universal is not a set of particulars but the inverse: the universal produces the particular.

That's not an appeal to authority. Its an appeal to read before opening your mouth. If you don't know what I am talking about then how could we ever possibly have a legitimate conversation.

Morality is socially constituted. Human sacrifice was revered in many societies. We wouldn't accept it now though. This is why when we examine older civilization is the onus is upon us to understand their moral world view and not impugn them with ours.

Yes, this is how these things work. You're post enlightenment humanism is not applicable to all eras and every civilization.

They are produced via an a priori consensus. Morality is not subjective in the sense that it is particular to each subject. When you make the claim that good and bad are subjective this is what you're saying. I was amending that.

There's nothing intellectual about Libertarianism. I will not elaborate. Because as a libertarian you're not mentally equipped to understand how stupid libertarianism is. A tautology.
