As you all probably know, I've been less than enthusiastic about many of Paul Aviles's posts here.
(How do you pronounce his second name, by the way: is it three-syllable A-VI-LES or A-VILES, like SMILES?)
But now, I've used the SEARCH function to go back through time. And what I've found is that – though LOCALLY they don't seem to hang together – if you take a more global view your posts have an integrity that I simply hadn't realised.
I'd previously been regarding some of them from a point of view that I'd derived from the monograph by Harry Frankfurt, 'On Bullshit'. (If you don't know this monograph, I suggest you buy or download it.)
In it, Frankfurt, a famous American philosopher, identifies the category 'bullshit' in a particularly perspicacious way.
Bullshit ISN'T the contrary of the truth. (Indeed, you can tell the truth and still be bullshitting.) It's rather, the expression of something – anything – with complete disregard of whether or not it's true.
So, up till now, I'd been looking at just a selection of Paul's posts as possible exemplars of Frankfurt's category.
But I realise that actually, ALL of them are exemplars of Frankfurt's category – especially his last, above.
So, apologies, Paul; I've been misreading you. You DO have integrity.
Tony
