I am writing this specific thread because in many discussions, specific labelled positions ranging from substance dualism, non-dualism, theism and pantheism, consciousness and the subconscious are used as ibasis for discussion. Some of it comes down to aspects of the duality of human understanding. Language may be of great significance here.
However, I also wonder about the categorisation of philosophical positions. It may go back to the academic traditions, especially the traditions of Oxford and Cambridge thinkers of the twentieth century. To what extent was the emphasis on linguistics useful or not? How may categories and aspects of linguistic aspects of thinking proceed? What are the linguistic deficits of categories of philosophy and areas in which language can be useful in critical thinking about ideas? To what extent can philosophy, and its history, be found or distinguished from critical thinking? What works, and doesn’t, in use of labelled positions in philosophical understanding?
