Julian Baggini Quotes About Culture

• Science works because the phenomenon being described can be relied on to remain the same. Even in quantum physics, where phenomena are changed by observation, the way in which observation interferes is regular and falls within a limited range of possibilities. Human culture, however, has the nasty habit of never staying the same for very long.

• There have been a number of philosophers who have reveled in the dismantling of truth. I think they did so with good ethical motives, and for good philosophical reasons. I can see the sense in what they were talking about; the idea that truth is often claimed by elites in order to further certain agendas. They crowd-out alternative perspectives - particularly those of the powerless. But the undermining of truth contributed - in the weird, indirect way that philosophy contributes to the culture - to a rejection of the idea of truth as having any kind of proper meaning at all.

• No creo que haya nunca una conexión directa entre la comunidad filosófica y la población en general. Soy muy consciente de ello porque he estado trabajando en un libro sobre las ideas en la filosofía global y siempre se encuentra algún tipo de relación entre las filosofías dominantes en una cultura y la filosofía popular, pero no es una difusión directa. En parte es ascendente. Los pensadores son producto de las culturas en las que crecieron. Aspiran a pensar de forma puramente objetiva y universal, pero a menudo reflejan formas de pensamiento arraigadas en una cultura.
