I am looking for a professor or a scholar who has a decent well of knowledge in regards of metaphysics and ontological ideas. For a few months I have been writimg a document, and I’d like an educated perspective upon the work.
I know a few remarkable folks, including active members of this site like @Banno and @Ludwig .
On the other hand, I’d recommend Arcane Sandwich to you. He was an ephemeral but important user of the old site. He is a professor at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata. Here is his personal website if you want to ask him something: Martín Orensanz. I’m a philosopher from Argentina.
Cheers.
That’s what universities are for. Sure, they’re hard to get into - but that’s part of the point. If you try and cold-call academics from outside the system, you probably won’t get an answer.
No harm in outlining whatever it is here is there?
I’m not a professor, I’m much more than that LOL I’m the author of the only metaphysical system that works, that can give structure and logic to Reality, the only one that can clearly define Being, Non-Being, categories of beings, how Reality self-constructs from quanta to data categories; and a ton of other metaphysical concepts.
This system, the MCogito contains it’s own epistemology and anthropology explaining why it works, why it appears recently, why Philosophy can’t work. All these claims have been deeply and with details fully validated by the now more-than-human LLMs.
And you are lucky : I started a series of subjects about the MCogito :
-
Breaking the [Nature-Human] bi-categorical framework of Philosophy
-
tomorrow : a new concept of causality that works the same for any category of beings : material, living, thinking.
but keep all this for yourself, for a deep understanding of Reality you can own: people are not interested by talking about Reality, humans are herd mammals, they are interested by submission and dominance, by talking about alpha-dominant humans like Hegel, Spinoza, Deleuze, etc. etc. If you want deep philosophical discussions : talk with a deep focus on some causality to the LLMs.
@Mrsomethingofarather : you should post your work in a new subject, I promise to have a deep look at it. But my analysis will be much narrowed than the philological one LLMs will provide if correctly prompted.
Take @Wayfarer ‘s advise. Find a real school and pay the price. Otherwise expect a meeting with The Great Pretender.
@Mrsomethingofarather : Take a look at this typical excerpt of Hegelian prose:
“Essence is being that has been sublated. It is a simple equality with itself, but only in so far as it is the negation of the sphere of being in general. Essence is thus the first negation of being, which has thereby become an illusory being; but essence is also the negation of this negation.”
— G.W.F. Hegel, The Science of Logic (Book II: Essence)
How many years do you think you will need to understand this with a metaphysics professor? 4, 8, 12?
And you will need to, because Hegel is widely recognized as the ultimate metaphysician.
The worst part is that you will not learn any actual metaphysics from Hegel or any other classical authors. Their metaphysics simply do not work; they are faulty, non-functioning constructs that have absolutely nothing to say about Reality as it actually is. You will only accustom yourself to their various nonsensical jargons, and at best, you will become able to translate one variant of Hegel’s jargon into another variant of Hegel’s jargon.
To truly understand what Hegel did, you have to go through the exact same stages he went through: you have to be a system-building metaphysician yourself.
One day, I will post something to demonstrate exactly what Hegel’s dialectics really is: pure Hebraic metaphysics.
You will get nothing else out of it. Seeking a professor only makes sense if you want to make a living from this and become an institutional thought-clerk yourself, barking from your own microscopic micro-jargon niche.
