Forthcoming book, Analytic Possibilism

ANALYTIC POSSIBILISM

By Nathan Coppedge

BOOK DESCRIPTION

An optimistic philosophy granting powers to the critical faculty...Thoughts can have the properties of nature as a way of tasting nature...Metaphysical possibility exists in at least two senses...The view held roughly by Elias Canetti, Novalis, Lichtenberg, Alexius Meinong, Quentin Meillassoux, and Nathan Coppedge.

Nathan's Fork

Essentially, Nathan's Fork produces a fourth option between the a priori and the synthetic. Not just synthetic a priori or rejecting the synthetic, but treating synthetic and analytic as closer together than their opposites. Either one is a progress of another, or they are related, or the synthetic is impossible. But consciousness says the synthetic is necessary, so if we are looking for alternatives, we are looking for alternatives to the synthetic a priori. That is what it says. Even relativism might have truth.

Systems According to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Order Questions

SYSTEMS ACCORDING TO 1ST, 2ND, AND 3RD ORDER QUESTIONS


The first (most basic) system is coherent math, and the last (most advanced) is coherent philosophy.


QUESTIONS

First-order questions: Rationality or Irrationality?

Second-order questions: Perfect and Complex!:
value or absoluteness or aesthetics or relativism
Half of relativism is absolute through relative-relativism.
Aesthetics is just a privileged value system.
Now it is between values and absolutes.
Absoluteness is one form of value.
Suggestion: absolute value or aesthetic value.

Imperfection is a return to graphic value failure.

Simplicity is a return to the non-linguistic.

Simplicity cannot be technical, and imperfection is informal.

Therefore, with formal systems, absolute value or aesthetic value.

Third-order questions: Exceptional or Coherent?

[Coherency is always the shortcut sometimes.
But it requires a standard].

A matter of perspective. A perfect system can be exceptional.

An exceptional system can be coherent.

If exceptions are defined as incoherent, they extend the system.

Unexceptional coherence is not coherence.

‘Exceptional’ must be used in a technical way, where it is
the unresolved coherency

Important Metaphysics Quote

"There is really no difference between sense and reality! One is just a higher function of the other! Sense is a higher function of physical reality! We could be wrong ethically perhaps about some particular, but that is itself granting itself an exception! What is observed: what COULD be observed. If sense makes reality, it is only because reality is capable of being sensed!"

----Nathan Coppedge, Oct. 2015.

A Note to My Academic Readers...

I have changed the misleading title of one of my papers.

It is now called 'The Dithered Theories of Dimensionism'.

'Grey Theories' no more!

Here is that paper, for those people who were led astray:
