Book Summary

For those interested this is the book summary.

It took a while to come up with the structure of the book, but that seems finished and now it is about making up enough stuff to fill in the chapters completely.

It is called The Tenets Of Critical Commonsense.

It is divided into ten main themes that help the reader understand the principles of the theory. It is designed to be understandable and opposed to conventional academic philosophy. These chapters should highlight that.

1. A=A. Truth formulas must work and counter pure skepticism. If anything is true, something else is true. If truth doesnt exist, you can't talk.

2. Metaethics. If truth formulas work, ethics can work and be based on them.

3. Basic Truth. Commonsense principles, as originally conceived by Reid.

4. First Truth is Active Power. Related to free will and understanding choice and action.

5. Reality is Real. Realism used to explain how and why perception works and objects are separate from mind.

6. Rote v Process. Epistemological/clarity issues with rote knowledge versus true process thinking.

7. Active Knowledge. Learning comes from doing. Virtue ethics.

8. HC is the Bad Guy. If CCS is good, what is bad? Atomism and contradiction and subjective conceptions of thought. What I call HC.

9. Unknown. If we don't know something, we don't know it. The unknown experience cannot be explained. IE: consciousness.

10. Life in Context. Short life attempting to understand problems. Use existentialism as a framework.
