Phil,

I've enjoyed and agree with your very clear postings on this subject to the CR group.

A few months back I was quite active in CR for a short time. After a time, I concluded that the discussions were not worth the time because Peter and David Dunstan kept the attention of the group on very basic issues on which there was broad lack of agreement with the Popperians. The group as a whole never seemed to get beyond LSD and CR to Popper's later work in Objective Knowledge, The Self and Its Brain, Unended Quest, and The Postscript volumes. I was looking for exchanges with Popperians on the material in these later works, and particularly discussions of where the three world ontology stands in the light of recent work on the brain and neurophysiology. When those were not forthcoming I decided to become a 'lurker'.

My own field is Knowledge Management and you can get a view of my range of interests by going to www.dkms.com.

  • Thanks for this. I noticed you're being lured back into Critical Cafe now. I remember some time ago we had a brief discussion on CR and knowledge management but I didn't have time to follow up and read your writig.

    I hope to get a bit of time to do that now.

    regards

    phil
