in calling cultures that aren't yours 'other', then you are starting from a framework where your interest in them is such, as 'other', which essentially means you are still thinking about them from a western centred position. get me. safe epithet tho apologies i hope you see waht i am saying good l...

lol I don't need an introduction to Levinas safe though. The foundation of his thinking is Judaism though so it depends where you think that fits into western philosophy. What I am saying is that by in calling cultures that aren't yours 'other', then you are starting from a framework where your inte...

Just some random thoughts. Cultural theory or continental theory. I presume we're talking western philosophy though so I'm still left wondering how it applies to cultures outside of that ? Are the tenets of these philosphies transferrable to other cultures and still largely applicable and if so how...

Thing you gotta understand is the upper echelons of academia are an old boys club. Doesnt get much more elitist than that. Yeah, the kind of philosophy being discussed in this thread is largely ignored by academic institutions in the UK. There's a strong bias towards the kind of rigourously analyti...

Don't get me wrong, I love a good chin stroke as much as the next man and there are plenty of things I pretend to understand but don't. That said, what's important to recognise is that when you condense a theory like that you can never understand it's meaning properly because nothing so complex can...
