| Abstract: | Great philosophers have always subverted widely presupposed dualisms, in the Western tradition starting with the Greek concepts of nomos and physis, which are roughly what we mean today by “convention” and “nature.” Is the division of practices, beliefs, and objects according to this dualism itself merely conventional? Or is it natural in the sense that one can objectively get it right or wrong? Is there anything more to truth than what people can be convinced to believe? The Egyptians do things one way and the Athenians another. Is it ever the case that one is better as a matter of nature? Or is that also merely human convention? |
