What's up—Keeping up

• 08/01/2022 ongoing
  • Continue drafting the section on Lifeworlds. Reverse the location of it and the section for Dialogs on the A Place to Study schema. Concentrate on the topics of Communication, Culture, and the Commons in drafting it.
• 06/15/2022 ongoing
  • Work out and start drafting the new section on Lifeworlds. Can we formulate a general "pedagogy" for a person's life-long institution/constitution of meaningful self-actualization through the lifeworld?
    • Marx's 11th Thesis on Feuerbach: "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it."
    • In the lifeworld, we must always be aware that neither the end nor the means determines the outcome.
    • In the lifeworld we must take care to differentiate linguistically from the objective world. Agents comprise the lifeworld, not objects, not even subjects. In the lifeworld, we speak of persons and polities, acting agents, not individuals and societies, objects of impersonal knowledge.
    • The problem of lifeworld terminology that has gained currency in the discourse of impersonal knowledge, for instance, to institute, from Latin instituĕre to set up, establish, found, appoint, ordain, begin, arrange, order, teach (see OED), largely has a form of action as its object, except that "teach" now primarily indicates imparting forms of knowledge.
    • Character, taste, judgment, etc., as lifeworld constituents. The study of literature, history, art, music as lifework concerns, distinct from learning about them as subjects of knowledge.
    • In the lifeworld, continuously forming an agenda and attending to a canon becomes very important, understanding them as ongoing efforts to adapt agency to circumstance.
