 Posted: Sat Apr 03, 2004 5:33 am Post subject: who is satz?
|
 |

Hi there! I am satz, though Ezboard says someone else is...it may well be the same version of Me in another dimension that left me a copy of Fabric of Reality in a men's lavatory in K-L airport last year, just to make sure I read it, but it may be another version of myself altogether.
I'm interested in Pinker's book for the same reason I've read Red Queen and Tangled Wing: to see where we start being humans and stop being animals!
I am a fan of Pinker's book 'The Language Instinct', and will look out for this one. Meanwhile, I wonder if anyone anywhere really believes in a 'blank slate' anyway [I do like another member's use of the term Bland Slate!]
Don't we all accept inheritance and 'genes' as providing a rather fulll slate from the outset? If we take Locke as the beginning of this train of thought, and Hume as its continuation, I think we have to consider Kant's answer seriously: that we are conditioned by our human categories of perception: time/space and causation, for starters...

Welcome to BookTalk! I look forward to discussing The Blank Slate, and other booktalk selections, with you on the forums. How did you hear of us?

Thanks for the compliments! I'm not sure what you mean by "can't you rescue my log-in for me?" I don't know your password if thats what you mean.

| Chris, I mean that the ezboard computer says someone already has the log-in 'satz', which seems unlikely! is there anyway cou could tell it that I alone am the real satz? |
