Black Thoughts Matter
In postapartheid South Africa, Whites dominate academics and Black students are agitating for decolonization. Decolonization requires contesting the false history of science used to set up colonial education essential to colonization—the same false history that was used to morally justify racism, by asserting the noncreativity of Blacks. The “evidence” for this false history is often faith-based, so White-controlled academics disallows any open d…
The Religious Roots of Mathematics
essentialism where the essences of substances are given by their chemical composition. Thus, for Putnam, the fact that water = H2O is true in all possible worlds in which water exists, and hence is a necessary truth about water (and so modal reasoning, in this case, demonstrates the 'truth' of scientific realism). Modal logic has thus resurrected the mediaeval notion that there are de re necessities (necessary properties of things). This represen…
The Eleven Pictures of Time: The Physics, Philosophy, and Politics of Time Beliefs
C.K. Raju begins with a critical exposition of various time-beliefs, ranging from the earliest times through Augustine, Newton and Einstein to Stephen Hawking and current notions of chaos and time travel. He traces the role of organised religion in subverting time beliefs for its political ends. The book points out how this resulted in a facile dichotomy between 'linear' and 'cyclic' time, thereby inaugurating a confusion which, according to the …
