“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Graham Priest, Maureen Eckert on Deviant Logics

Untitled from Philosophy TV on Vimeo.


Paraconsistent logics and dialetheism are beginning to interest me, a lot. I'm beginning to think about whether the mesh implies something in or near these domains. If the mesh is not only links, but gaps, between entities—if in some sense there is no difference between a gap and a link—then perhaps this might just be the ticket. That and Professor Priest's interest in Buddhism. So I was very happy when Nick Srnicek posted this on Twitter a while ago. And Jarrod Fowler, I owe you.
