i wasn't following the conversation--mark (i'm not seriously interested in
philosophy as philosophy), so i wasn't witness to any abuse.  if abuse
occurs on this list (and i think i have read a couple of high-handed
remarks), its merely a point of irony: an academic attempting to gain
distinction (however much the move is disguised as intellectual rigor) on
the basis of his or her scholastic/cultural capital.  The move of demanding
the same of others is really a feint.

In my  humble opinion is true wisdom the knowledge that one's knowledge
consists  of more questions than answers, so don't you stop here! Continue
your  search for answers - don't let anybody stop you!


In some sense I wish I had not  asked?
Sorry for being an ignorant oaf who can't even  spell Liebniz right!
What I asked was a genuine question which of  course anyone on this list
can abuse as a question, but what exactly is the  point?
Since I clearly show that I am not an expert,  making me look foolish does
not seem to me to show any great  talent.
If my question is so silly, please feel free to  point out why. However I
have been doing some reading (starting from a point of  almost total
ignorance) and wanted to try to get some suggestions for further  reading.
I thought that not an unreasonable  request
It wouldbe nice to get some replies I can  follow up but if abuse is all
there is on offer it seems a waste of time so  please don't send it.
