Metatheory and Epistemological Issues: A Philosophical Approach to Communications

I wonder why it is that writings by those who would pontificate on communication are the least communicative examples of written English...

[Louis Foxwell]

They lack basic literacy skills.

"They lack basic literacy skills."

In this case -- having read the author's FRProfile -- I expect that ESL is a factor.

OTOH, -- again, having read the author's FRProfile -- I wonder why she feels that FR is an appropriate forum for her vanity post...

[From many - one.]

(3) Pragmatic Theory is also use to verify certainty. For this theory, knowledge is certain and true when it is put to use in struggle for survival.

Survival and power. Politics is full of pragmatists whose beliefs are based on how much power they can wield with them. However their problem is not metaphysical as much as willfull ignorance or willfull deception.

To compound insult upon injury, this is not the only, similarly sophomoric, vanity post today by the same author... :-(

It seems to be an affliction of 25-year-old "academics" to think they are performing an intellectual service by regurgitating and commenting upon citations from other, similarly-muddled "philosophic 'thinkers'".

When calling someone an idiot in writing, it's always best to check for spelling errors.

Another wonderful exposition of communicatons theory. I could hardly put it down. Please keep them coming.

(You have my permission to use this as a 'blurb' on your forthcoming self-published book. Please spell my name right: W-I-L-D-B-I-L-L With no space between. It's a form of communication about my inner angst and consequent rebellion against society)

hey I like anything with the word epistemology in it...i'm not kidding......to be or not to be....si?....there are more things in heaven and hell than are dreamt in your philosophy Horatio.....a thought which quartered hath but one part wisdom and ever three parts coward....i do not know why yet I live to say this things to do....

Thanks

You left out the "post-modernists". Where exactly do they
stand in the epistemological wars?
Who is "little john?"
AFter reading for and writing your "blurb" what is your
position on epistemology? Or do you believe there is
truth in a synthesis of positions, a little here, a little
there?
Anyway, salamad po!

Lets see --
Long vanity post
Title with a colon included
Long, funky, $20 dollar words
Hyphenated last name

OK, I'll just do a drive by post without reading the original posting.

BTW - Do those two gents in the poster suffer from Kabuki Syndrome?

[Dick Vomer]

it's a joke....

Is this a penultimate question?
From mush for brains to mush for knowledge. All mush is hidden 'neath a patina of ignorance.
