James S Saint

You might consider adding a PayPal option to accept contributions to offset operating expenses.

I think that is a wonderful idea and when I move the site to a faster host I think I will do such as you have suggested.

We have to start somewhere.

:smiley:

In no substantive way am I able to connect the dots here between what I construe to be one more general description of human interaction and a particular change imagined in the future involving conflicting goods we are all likely to be familiar with.

It’s just one more scholastic contraption re RM/AO, VO, or prismatics “progressive behaviors” narrative.

And how on earth in the absense of God’s immortality and salvation is the obliteration of each and every individual “I” accomplished?

For me, with respect to each moral/political issue in which there are conflicting valuations, it comes down to this:

I agree. And now apparently James is either no longer around to pursue that work or he has come to understand that it cannot actually be accomplished.

Still, there are plenty of other moral and political objectivists around who continue to make the claims.

Perhaps Fixed can consult the stars and let us know where James S is. i.e. Below or Above.

…has he become famous, and cut his ties with us/moved on to better things?

Neosophi is back up and running. Links should be accessible now.

:smiley:

Hope you’re doing OK, James.

Six months have passed . . .

“Good men must die, but death cannot kill their names.”
-Proverb

You are remembered James - may you rest in peace

I would suggest ( :stuck_out_tongue: ) that this may be a bit premature unless you know for a fact that James has died. Do you?

It is possible of course but it is also possible that he is living La Vida Loca somewhere else and I do not mean the hereafter.

This is where Rilke’s quote comes to mind.

Do not rest in peace, James ~~ give them HELL!

During the last four years I was translating James’ work into German. I went through thousands of his posts on ILP, Humanarchy and other forums, trying to summarize it all, including RM:AO Physics and the analogies to Psychology and Sociology, in order to arrange a book out of it. James patiently answered all my questions, we had a permanent PM-contact. Last autumn the first draft of the book was finished and James agreed to reread the English version. Being very critical with his wording, he said it would take some time for him to correct it all, and it would be the best if he withdraws for a while. I still hope that this is the reason why he is not around, but half a year is a long time and our contact abruptly stopped in January.
I decided to wait until July, and then bring this project forward by myself. I suppose this is what I have to do now. Hopefully it will be finished by the end of the year. My plan is to get it published first in German, then in English as well. I’ll let you know.

K: well, good luck…….I hope you get it done…

Kropotkin

You were on Humanarchy? Cool.
I still have the forum file for that, with all the posts.
Went through some trouble putting it on a new site but couldn’t get it to work.

At least 80,000 people died of flu last winter in U.S., CDC says
The government says it’s the highest death toll since the winter of 1976-1977.

Now available in German!

James S. Saint: Rational Metaphysics:Affectance Ontology … and its analogies in Psychology and Sociology

The English version will follow, hopefully soon.

Nice! It’s democritus again… the 2.0 version.

So the old boy is doing okay, then? There was a little stir a while back and everybody was wondering if and how he was.

There was no contact between me and James since January 2018. Using the material that was available to me, partially rewritten by James, I compiled and published the book myself.

So St. James is still MIA? Shirley there’s a way to find him. Can we contact any collaborators, friends, pinochle partners, or tai chi instructors he might have had? What about philosophy fora. Where was he last seen affecting his ontology?

The German version of James S. Saints RM:AO is now also available as E-book, e.g. here.
I hope that I can publish the English version in a few months.

And now the English edition of James S. Saints “Rational Metaphysics: Affectance Ontology … and its Analogies in Psychology and Sociology” is available as bound book and e-book.

Great work Mithus - I knew you would do it. I am looking forward to reading it.
