“Beyond Truth”

What is ”truth” ... ?
Truth for whom?  When?  Where? Why?
Is there any absolute standard for truth?
Can something be true for you but not for
me?
Can the same "fact" be true now but false at another time?

 21 July
Consciousness Debate Revisted

We looked at the debate on this topic

and how GS formulations can shed some light

 on why people find it difficult and possible ways to improve the debate

 and get a more accurate map of the territory. 

 We used formulations such as: viewpoints, elementalisms, multi-meaning,

extensional defintions, identification/reification, projection, etc. 

Some of us found this a challenging day.

10 November
Utilitarianism and Time Binding

What "is" time-binding?
Is it the same for everyone, over all time?
How can we know what's "best" - Best for whom, when?
Does GS allow for "absolute values", or isit all about pragmatism?

Led by Robert
