>“‘White’ is of the utmost relevance to philosophy, and postmodern theory helps us to see why,” Caputo says in the interview. “I was once criticized for using the expression ‘true north.’It reflected my Nordo-centrism, my critic said, and my insensitivity to people who live in the Southern Hemisphere. Of course, no such thing had ever crossed my mind, but that points to the problem. We tend to say ‘we’ and to assume who ‘we’ are, which once simply meant ‘we white male Euro-Christians.’
>The end result of critiquing whiteness, Caputo suggests, is the realization that the supposed “reason” underlying philosophy is just another form of white privilege … or something of that nature.
>“I think that what modern philosophers call ‘pure’ reason — the Cartesian ego cogito and Kant’s transcendental consciousness — is a white male Euro-Christian construction,” he says. “White is not ‘neutral.’ ‘Pure’ reason is lily white, as if white is not a color or is closest to the purity of the sun, and everything else is ‘colored.’ Purification is a name for terror and deportation, and ‘white’ is a thick, dense, potent cultural signifier that is closely linked to rationalism and colonialism. What is not white is not rational. So white is philosophically relevant and needs to be philosophically critiqued — it affects what we mean by ‘reason’ — and ‘we’ white philosophers cannot ignore it.”
the west is nominalistic today while the east tends to be realistic.
the west denies that words correspond to real ideas. like beauty means whatever you want ti to be.
the east says no there is a real standard or idea of beauty.
its plato vs aristotle here.

>Reason is white and therefore bad now In one year this will be the mainstream narrative. You will get to watch all your friends and family blabber along with this, with you standing next to it and thinking you are going insane. Just like every other time. You think this time, its too stupid, this time they gotta think for themselves right? What hurt me most about Sup Forums was probably seeing my friends and family, people I trusted all my life say the most retarded shit just because the Media tells them to.
Alexander Fisher
(((Levenstein)))) Its not even funny anymore.

Intelligence, beauty and civility is a white male construct. How can we get rid of these things so we're no longer oppressed by white males?
Connor Gomez
This has the ghost of a point, but I don't see at all how this corresponds to Plato. You cannot find a more vigorous proponent of things having objective measure and value than Plato. Aristotle would also never associate with such an idea. The "east"? Which "east"? There is not one monolith of eastern thought. Taoism and Confucianism had a massive falling out over the very issue of nomenclature.

EVERYONE in nearly ALL cultures benefited in some way, and yet somehow causing a positive effect on all people is white privilege? I don't know what's scarier, the fact people believe this guy, or he believes his own garbage.

rule of thumb Sup Forums is always wrong predicting happenings everything else we're right on
Julian Ortiz
Alrighty then
Jaxson Bell
To bait, how would you respond to this? The phrase 'true north' is unique to Western Europeans, so how would you respond when someone asserts that your perspective/heritage/acculturation is limiting your ability to see other points of view?
Ian Lopez
There's a trend now in education to denounce the ancient Greeks and Romans in regards to philosophy and morality
Aiden Walker
It's an argument on semantics that has no value.
I'd ask what their analogue of "True North" is and ask them if I'd like to use that with them.
Benjamin Wright

You're a white reasoning with white reason, ergo by your own admission your reason is flawed. This guy is fucking retarded. That's just circular logic.
Jeremiah Reed
North is the unchanging point of the sky in the northern hemisphere. As the earth spins though out the solar system, northen constellations stay relatively constant. It is used to maintain navigation at night. North is the guide stone of sea navigation.
Caleb King
This has already happened. I think there's a video surrounding the red-haired 'Can I get some muscle' incident. Trying to find it, basically they are discussing African magic as a replacement for reason.
We'll the left abandoned reason years ago, now they have the unenviable task of justifying their insanity.
Turns out. Reason and logic are racist.
This is not unexpected but makes me feel very smug.
Elijah Brooks
These faggots believe we are born as blank slates and nothing nurture effects us. This is the only way you can make sense of this dribble of everything is construct. Nature plays no part in who u are.

I lost a pic I had on my old hard drive, but basically I had a screencap of a Reddit thread where some dumb feminists were literally arguing that "logic" was a Euro-centric concept, and that denying African "emotional reasoning" was insensitive.

I'd tell them that I live within this nation, within its own context, and that any other context alien from this place is completely irrelevant from a social perspective.
I don't care if the Germans use 'der' to say 'he', doesn't make it acceptable to use that in a conversation in English.
Relitivism is irrelevant because it ignores contexts and basic truths. And if your going to pull some solipsistic 'I only exist in my head' bullshit then that conversation is obviously irrelevant too; if nothing truly exists outside of you then there is nothing to talk about.
