202s clock is crooked.

Right side= left hand/ Left side= right hand
*what does that say for a right handed artist? i.e.-Me
*does this mean that what im creating isnt art because the wrong hand is the one drawing it? if thats true then im doing a good job of fooling everyone.

CRAFT
*Stipulative definition- skill or technique in handling the physical world
*Tending to be PRACTICAL
*Craft is a kind of knowledge- it is "body knowledge"

MANIPULATION
*Mani-pul-ation (to work with the hand)
*Manus = a hand

/\Philosophy (increasing "mentality") MENTAL-MIND
|
\/Craft (increasing physicality) PHYSICAL-BODY

*art (arse) latin- craft old english- techne (technical) greek
*artistic=crafty=technical

PHILOSOPHY (det. truth)
*mental
*interior
*conscious
*theoritical

SCIENCE (det. fact) INVESTIGATION:testing
*mental
*physical

ART
(not the thing, but the expression) INSPIRATION:expression

CRAFT (produce something physcial) DOING:production
*physical
*exterior
*unconsious
*practical

Foxes are seen as "crafty" swift.. successful wild animals. there is an accisociation with craft to animals not so much philosophical

**back to philosophy being interior
*philosophy is the most human of P,S,C,A
*becasue im listening to him talk, then im being affected and therfore its not fully passive. i have to be consious i have to be alert

**back to craft as exterior
*the body making somthing else
*"the Craftyness of animals is not so much the thinking through the problem but in manifesting some action that confers an advantage to the animal"

P (poses questions)->S (which lead to expierements)->C (tech. are created)->A

Jump the Gun, or stay under it

PHILOSOPHY
*Phislosohy is MENTAL
*Philosophy is the love or pursuit of wisdom, and is therefore fundamentally ETHICAL
-philosophy conserns itself with knowledge, process of knowlege, and the principals or rules which govern thoughts.

LEXICAL DEFINITION
*one found in a LEXICON (a "word-book",a dictionary-usually a "technical dictionary")
*based upon ACTUAL USE of terms defined.
*Lexical definitions, becasue they detail actual use, have often the vagueness and ambiguity characteristic of everyday speech.

VAGUENESS
*"looseness" of the boundaries of a meaning of a term

AMBIGUITY
*Use of a term in several different senses (which is meant, being unclear).

STIPULATIVE DEFINITION
*A proposal of a narrowing of an existing lexical definition to remove ambiguity or vagueness of both.

HYPOTHETICAL/THEORITICAL DEFINITION
*Defintions created for a sepecific pouropse, having some sort of usefulness in a process of examination.
*not taken to be absolute or trivial, these definitions exist to be TESTED.

(these following thoughts are hypotetical, not to be taken as absolute)

WISDOM
*The knowledge of what to do and when
*(the right thing/what is right to do/what is morally correct?)

COSMOLOGY
*the study of order in the universe
*(the impact of life/actions/events on the universe)

GEORGE ORWELL (writing is a political act, it altars the world reguardless of if anyone sees it or not) <--kinda like my idea.

PHILOSOPHY::

LOGIC- the study of arguements to determine their validity or invalidty and the study of conditions of truth and falsity

AXIOLOGY- the study of vlues
A:AESTHETICS- the study of beauty and and sensation
B:ETHICS-the statement of morality or moraltiics (morality = a system of ideas and approved behavior relating to right and wrong conduct)

EPISTEMOLOGY- the study of knowlege

METAPHYSICS- study of ULTIMATE reality

"philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock: each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing; only when everything is in place does the door open." - wittgenstein

Black No.1

Today is about the same. still hard to manage

the Deepest Grey

12:37 pm, today is becoming more & more unstable


5:17 pm, Do i believe that all human activity can be fully described & understood through some combination of P, C, S, & A?
if yes to 1. but no to 2.- explain why i dissagree, be specific.
if yes to 1. and yes to 2. the demonstate through 3-5 examples.
if no to 1.- why dont i understand, explain.

*Oct. 11th- quiz on definitions

In answer to the question asked above, I feel I do understand the four definitions of P, C, S, & A. I would have to disagree that ALL human activity can be explained through one, or a combination of, the four categories. I feel that though every action I have analyzed so far may be explained in this manner, ALL of human activity is a very large concept. I’m not saying it isn’t possible, but philosophically speaking, ill only be able to say “maybe” because I may never know ALL of human activity.

Though to contradict myself, one can argue that all human activity can be classified as science upon the first time performing that act. As it’s a step outside behavior and could be called experimentation or exploration, then after the first time performing the act, every time after may be considered craft. As it’s repeating the steps learned to achieve the same outcome. So in a sense, ALL human activity can be explained with at least two of the four.

*Some interesting points made today
// *To paint a house, then to "paint" a house, we go from craft to art because we paint the physicality of a house.
If we don’t have standard symbols we cant communicate with other people. *Visual is better for specifics, but verbal is better for general.

*We have two kinds of experience. 1. "Conventional", agreed upon, an ordinary understanding EX: bagels are with the bread, but I don’t think to ask why. / Lexical definition

*Science- examination of physical world, intellectual/ disciplined mental activity *Practical/ practice doing things
EX. Making the first bulb is science, making the same bulb over for a use is craft
*Science is not the bulb; science is the act of making the bulb, a process of examination

*Phil.- the examination of self-exploration
EX. I can understand "light" with phil.(imagination), but not science, yet.

*P-A *A-S *C-S
*P-C *A-C

*the practical use of science is basically craft

The act I have decided to explore today is Cleaning. Cleaning is Mostly craft, I say this because you know what tools to use to get the object or room clean and you know what pattern of steps it takes to get it to that level. Cleaning can also be art in the sense that a clean living space or work area is an expression of self-organization, or an expression of self-conduction. Science can be employed a number of ways, through the chemicals used to clean the area, or on a more heightened level, the first time you use a new tool or you try a new pattern of cleaning you are exploring and using science. The only category that falls short here is philosophy, it has its presence, but in a more subtle sense. The thought or idea to have a clean environment can lead to a better frame of mind, as where a dirty area can induce a poor feeling.
