⏮Background: To explore the Meaning and Moral Framing of Sustainable Prosperity, we have commissioned six papers by leading international philosophers and social theorists, each adopting a distinctive and divergent perspective on the topic. The authors were brought together at a conference on 16 February 2018.

Reject modernity, embrace traditions.

The world lost a genius

What he’s saying is that In the end, life comes down to subjective evaluation of experience, emotions, and language

[@kinkyplunk]

It's worth reading the recently published 'Against the Tide,' which is a collection of Scruton's columns. He makes this point eloquently.

This man's got poetic hair

[@nozecone]

Hmmm ... are you thinking "The Wreck of the Hesperus", perhaps?

Miss this wonderful man

[@hanh3000]

How fitting, a poetic explanation of poeticism.

[@d.mavridopoulos66]

Isn't this an instance of the idea of the Lebenswelt? I.e the total of all concepts that make our life meaningful, but that are at the same time incommensurate with the concepts used in the scientific literature.

So true...

And then came Jordan Peterson.

Yes and no. If we wanted to be fully aware purveyors of reality here, we would have to acknowledge that while the desire to convey a meaningful holistic description that envelops the full gamut of emotions we experience from sexual attraction requires poetry, if you're specifically focusing on sexual desire, 1-10 is pretty much a universal rating system.
