In Response To: Re: Halo and Philosophy book soon? (Miguel Chavez) : And my point is why must the past be the future? If they were hurting for the : 'proper' kind of work that you find lacking, and here you (almost) had an : opportunity to submit a piece that fulfills that requirement, why : *wouldn't* you have submitted it? You're basically saying that they'll : turn down anything that's actually incisive and engaging. WTF? How does : that not come off as terribly abrasive? Um, had I known about this prior to August 10th and I'd have been given sufficient compensation, I absolutely WOULD have submitted something. Also please do not put words in my mouth. I'm trying really hard right now to give a civil response. : I beg to differ. There are position papers and then there are papers that
Well, what do you look at when you want to see what others have said about a topic? What do you look at when you want to see how ideas hold to criticism? That's right. Papers in which the philosopher states their opinions and presents their argument. That's where the philosophy happens. The people who actually ANSWER philosophy's big questions aren't the ones who try to "explore this topic together and see what others have said". They are the people who make arguments. Further, exploration and discussion happens naturally when arguments are presented. Just look at the discussion threads that start when someone presents a solid argument. : Me too. We should do a podcast about it. Yes yes yes zomg yes.
