โAn initial version of my point can be reported as follows: Marx offers not a social theory but a critique of social theory in the same sense as he offers a critique of philosophy (in his early writings) and a critique of political economy (commencing in 1844 and renewed in the ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ manuscripts of 1857-8 and ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐). The same point can be stated by saying that Marx was not a sociologist but a critic of sociology: โMarxist sociologyโ is a contradiction in terms [. . .] A further statement of my contention runs thus: ๐ฉ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ญ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ด๐ฎ ๐ช๐ด ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ข๐ณ๐น๐ช๐ด๐ต and not just for reasons of terminology or of the economic determinism to which, for instance, the formulations of Marxโs 1859 Preface to his ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐๐ succumb.โ
It was probably a good Initiation Into Womanhood that the first person I dated while transitioning was a poet who objectified me, gave me a good feeling for how the deal would be
I joke and all that because I was raised Catholic, like episcopal polity, take apostolic succession and the veneration of saints p seriously, and veil in prayer,
But being an actual "tradcath" is kinda heavenly-father-less behavior.
@Gilliosa before or after Benedict's authorization of the Tridentine Mass. Also, I'm referring to the internet trend not the rite, though I don't really get sedevacantists either
@Gilliosa there's just a trend of 14 year old internet racists who want to LARP a crusade, so they think they're Catholics and are just waiting for a less gay Pontiff.
[352a] I proceeded, will the following example give us the light we need? Just as, in estimating a man's health or bodily efficiency by his appearance, one might look at his face and the lower part of his arms and say: Come now, uncover your chest too and your back and show them, that I may examine you thoroughlyโso the same sort of desire comes over me in regard to our inquiry. Observing your condition to be as you describe in respect of the good and the pleasant, I am fain to say something like this: Come, my good Protagoras, uncover some more of your thoughts: [352b] how are you in regard to knowledge? Do you share the view that most people take of this, or have you some other? The opinion generally held of knowledge is something of this sortโthat it is no strong or guiding or governing thing; it is not regarded as anything of that kind, but people think that, while a man often has knowledge in him, he is not governed by it, but by something elseโnow by passion, now by pleasure, now by pain, at times by love, and often by fear; their feeling about knowledge [352c] is just what they have about a slave, that it may be dragged about by any other force. Now do you agree with this view of it, or do you consider that knowledge is something noble and able to govern man, and that whoever learns what is good and what is bad will never be swayed by anything to act otherwise than as knowledge bids, and that intelligence is a sufficient succor for mankind?
My view, Socrates, he replied, is precisely that which you express, [352d] and what is more, it would be a disgrace for me above all men to assert that wisdom and knowledge were aught but the highest of all human things.
@winter people are only ever "anti-abrahamism" to suggest that the problems with Christianity and/or Islam are that they're too Jewish. People really can't be Islamophobic without also ending up antisemitic.
@apophis@winter well they often haven't but the point in the evocation of the concept of "anti-abrahamism" is an attempt to point to some originary ontological evil in Judaism that has since spread. The person may not understand what they are doing or intend to, but that is what they are doing.
Always feels like we're neglecting the beliefs of what we identify as orthopraxy-oriented religions; and the ritual of what we identify as orthodoxy-oriented religions. Just always felt like a very Protestant distinction.
