What is The Real?
I have been working on this piece for a little more than a month, since just after Christmas. What with one thing, and another, I kept refining it while, every week, it seemed more and more pertinent and timely. You see, we need to talk about ontology.
Ontology is an aspect of metaphysics, the word translating literally to “the study of what exists.” Connotatively, we might rather say, “trying to figure out what’s real.” Ontology necessarily intersects with studies of knowledge and studies of value, because in order to know what’s real you have to understand what tools you think are valid for gaining knowledge, and you have to know whether knowledge is even something you can attain, as such.
Read the rest of On Truth, Values, Knowledge, and Identity in 2017 and Beyond, originally published on A Future Worth Thinking About
Finally finish writing this thing that I started writing in the last Technoccult Newsletter of last year.
Maybe it’ll be helpful.
