[MD] John Carl's Critique of Pure Experience INST04

[Ian Glendinning]

John, DMB, again, you are at the nub of all our issues ...

DMB "the idea is to fix that defective value-free intellect."

John "Man will inevitably conceptualize, its in his nature."

It certainly has been human nature ... but it's an evolved and
evolving nature ... we can still learn.

Clearly we are never going to get some "pure" definitive handle on
pure-experience (or Quality) without contaminating it with conceptual
objects. BUT what this kind of radical empiricism is saying is PLEASE
notice that defect, PLEASE discount your pre-conceived objects so far
as you possibly can whenever experiencing something, or interpreting
experience in another.

Regards
Ian
