NIck,
Your discourse regarding the issues which confront the human condition was very interesting to see. I would agree that the issue is between the search for an ontological truth as a basis for wisdom rather that a functional argument construct of subjects and predicates. Even Eudemus of Rhodes gave us the idea that the existential statement such as Socrates is is a predicate. I like the idea of the mathematical graph theory. Yet, is this not a pre-designed matrix of linking a predisposed knowledge of all experience in a anthropomorphic mind set of what is the experienced phenomena rather than a pursuit to the truth of the experienced phenomena. Could it be that we should attempt to understand the subjective phenomena of a morbid as well as a normal psychic life and the bio-chemical, social and physical cosmological explanations of phenomena. I would like to suggest that a pre-numbered graph matrix will not aide in the pursuit for wisdom but will give us the functionality mechanism of a relationship between judgements in the development of arguments for a desired position. I fail to see how the Cartesian, Kantian, Marxist and Personalism methods of philosophical methodologies successfully deal with the phenomena of certainty and uncertainty to which life's experiences engender. Both the Liberals and the Conservatives need to address their fears of isolation by pursuing an expectancy of diverse unity and the trauma of dissolution of the individual as a possessed property.
Best regards,
Bill Bauser
