Cross-checking of scheme concepts

Organizing scheme concepts

• It would be better to organize the concept of the scheme and talk about the scheme next time before going into section 7.
  • 4B7 “Experienced meanings can (partially) scheme (creatively determine) new aspects of other experienced meanings”
  • Section 7 is developed on the premise that the previous section 2, “experience is multi-schematic,” but I have a hard time believing that section 2 is a good fit.
• Scheme Concept
  • There’s a lot written in Chapter 6.
  • Might be a good idea to cross check on the scheme.
  • As I understand it now, there are not one but several structures (schemes) that can logically be said, “There is such a structure, isn’t there? And there is a state before that scheme is verbalized.” That’s how I feel.

p.25-27

• preface
  • What types of concepts can be associated with a felt meaning?
  • Requires more than the logical scheme of “experience.”
  • Not only the experience already logically in place.
  • We must also address experience before it can be logically arranged.
    • Meaning.
    • logical order
      • logical order
    • The function of experience in forming
    • Pre-logical and pre-conceptual experience must be studied when it is working with logical symbols
    • Never replace “pre-logical experience” with “logical symbols.”
    • Staying at the logical level does not reveal how experience works with logic
  • No matter how complex an experience may be.
    • Cannot logically be regarded as a scheme-like construct
    • One can only have one scheme for how experience and logic are related
      • Even then, experience must be directly collated.
• Experience is the flow of emotions we have at any given moment
  • It’s not in shape.
  • We call it “experiencing.
  • The experience process is
    • In action, too.
    • In forming meaning, too.
    • Basic Role
    • If logical schemes are not considered in relation to this role of the experience process, they are empty
• p.26
  • We have so many schemes that each one is exclusive and fundamental
  • Relativism, positivism, pragmatism
  • The scheme is.
    • For the most part, they are the same.
      • relativism

        • Relativism (English: relativism, German: Relativismus, French: relativisme) is the view that one’s view of an empirical event is relative to, or dependent on, one’s view of other empirical events. Relativism (German: Relativismus, French: relativisme) is the idea that a view of an empirical event can only be objective in

    • All completely meaningless.
      • Positivist position “metaphysical propositions are nonsense because they are unverifiable.”
    • Often we can determine that they are the same thing.
      • Pragmatist judgment in chapter 6A5.
  • Relativity of Schemes
    • In today’s West, society does not provide individuals with a scheme or format for interpreting their experiences - What is the translation of this “form”? =form
      • There used to be a scheme to interpret “lightning struck” as being the wrath of God.
      • Individuals know that there are many forms and schemes that contradict or are unrelated to each other
      • = Facing life and the process of experiencing it firsthand
    • He questioned art forms, philosophical schemes, religious beliefs, social patterns, moral values, and rituals.
    • Spengler and Toynbee, “Isn’t such relativization a sign of social division?”
      • historical pattern
        • In times of social division, the schemes that have been maintained become “relative” and
        • Individuals interpret life and experience processes directly.
          • Often hopeless
          • very human
      • Do you want to take out an existing scheme?
      • Know how to relate concepts to the experience process through rational methods
• p.27 How symbolization affects the process of experience and how to be affected by it
  • Create a vocabulary that can interact with the experience process
    • This allows for communication about the experience process
    • Be able to think of the scheme in relation to its empirical meaning

Chapter 6: Applications in Philosophy 6A Principles of philosophical method implied by relativity Some practical examples of the principle

• The myriad meanings that can arise
• deterministic
• selective formalization
• 6A4 Open scheme
• 6A5 Scheme Evaluation
• Relativity of all terms
  • Include basic terms such as “definition.”
• functional equivalence
• logical form

237-239

• open scheme
  • Need to read the original.
    • roughly
      • You can’t formalize every (possible) meaning.
      • Cannot resolve any implications that may be contradictory

239-240

• Scheme Evaluation
  • Scheme Value
  • Intercomparison of schemes, relative evaluation
  • Scheme Objectives
  • How?
    • Match to aspects of experience identified
    • If two schemes can be matched and symbolized in the same way, then for that aspect they are equivalent
    • You need to check the original text because of the odd parentheses.
  • Principles of scheme evaluation
    • The value and valuation of the scheme depends on the aspect of experience that’s symbolized with the scheme’s help.
    • In my specific example Re: verbalization, I am verbalizing the answer to the question, “What are the benefits of verbalization?” I verbalize the answer to the question “What are the benefits of verbalization?
      • This verbalization is done with the help of a system of knowledge that has been created in me through my study of “the process of experience and the creation of meaning”.
      • This “verbalization with the help of a knowledge system” is here called “symbolization with the help of a scheme.”
      • Even in this specific verbalization, assuming that the other person has no knowledge of the “experience process and the creation of meaning,” I am able to change the language into words that seem to convey
        • The reason why I can do that is because these words are not just symbols, they are connected to a “felt meaning” within me
        • In other words, we’re in a state of “conception.”
    • This idea is pragmatistic.

21. “scheme” is translated as “scheme. Scheme” means a system of theory, but we have chosen to translate it as “scheme”. multischeme translates as “many schemes”.

p.23

• In the past, meaning was usually analyzed in relation to things (objective verification, sense perception) or in relation to logical structures. Of course, meaning was considered to be related to experience, but “experience” was usually interpreted as a logical scheme integrating sensory perception, or as a logical concept mediating in relating or predicting the observed results of actions.

• Today, however, we can no longer interpret “experience” in such a narrow sense. Besides logical schemes and sense perception, we have come to realize that there is also a powerful sensed dimension of experience that is pre-logical, yet plays an important role in our way of thinking, perceiving and acting.

• Argument that experience should not be thought of as being a logical scheme, that it is a narrow interpretation

• Descartes Any concept is either about something or is itself existential
  • I think, therefore I am.
• In Gendlin’s terms, “the content identified and described” and “the process of experience per se.”
  • The latter is “the creation of new meaning.”
  • This is, in Spinoza’s terms, “the idea of an idea.”
  • infinite regress is avoided because “the conception of the conception of the conception” is consistent with “the conception of the conception of the conception.”
  • The “conception of a conception” is the IOFI point, which is a multi-scheme
