Does Descartes, working from the inside out, “escape subjectivism”? Very simply, he does not. Consciousness is known as “the hard problem” of philosophy—neurology might tell us something of the mechanics of how we experience qualia, how we process phenomena, but it says very little of why. For example, it’s really quite simple to answer how we know a sour taste from a sweet taste—the physical reaction to sour foods, like lemons or spoiled milk, has much to do with an early genetic mutation that…

This situation…

sense of how to act no matter what physically true. Although, Symbolic-Interactionism focuses on the finer details it neglects the problem as a whole. This theory is like viewing or explaining the “Seabees” without realizing that they are just a fraction of the Navy. Just because one part of the Navy feels a particular way about “A” doesn’t mean that the Seabees also feel the same way. Seabees have their own way of doing things and in a sense act as though they are their own society because in…

We tend to remember the masses of hulking men attempting to retrieve the airborne ball at record speeds, yet we cease to recall the long and detailed strokes of a fine haired paintbrush remaining untouched. We turn our cheeks from the smooth syrupy voices that beckon us to join. As we disregard these artistic faculties so does the district. The lack of…
