[D66] Model of knowledge in OOO...

[A.O.]

1) Model of knowledge in OOO:

unjustified true belief: metaphor
justified untrue belief: knowledge

2) direct knowledge of RO-RQ (Real object, real qualities) is impossible.

3) there is no political knowledge

4) undermining/overmining/duomining an object is trying to get knowledge
about it.

5) philosophia= the permanent practice of ‘learned ignorance’, as the
important German religious thinker Nicholas of Cusa whould call it.

6) Anti-mining (Chapter 1). An object is whatever cannot be
reduced to either of the two basic kinds of knowledge: what
something is made of, and what it does. Too many philoso-
phies in the West have tried to claim that it is simply one of
these, the other, or both. Another way of saying it is that OOO
is strongly committed to an anti-literalist view of objects,
meaning the notion that we can paraphrase an object, as if it
were truly equivalent to a sum total of qualities or effects and
nothing more.

7) ‘Meno’s Paradox’. The argument is as follows: there is no point
searching for the definition of anything, because if you
already know it then you would not need to look for it, and if
you do not already know it then you cannot recognize it
when you find it.
