Selected User Reviews For It's Hard to Get a Handle on Philosophy - Porcelain Tea Cup Featuring 60 Western Philosophers

Is it possible that some of the philosophers depicted on the tea cup thought it was an impossible object? As a member of the Unemployed Philosophers Guild, I am concerned that these dear brothers have succeeded in monetizing philosophy and reducing it to economic terms
4/5

The blind spot in capitalism is that if something is not monetizable, then it doesn't exist, it is impossible. Related to this, that there is no such thing as a foolish decision leading to profit, is that ethics are wrongly considered the result of a mistaken decision. There are many possibilities for existence other than those based on the market. Relationships that are based on economic activity are regarded as social The answer to a question such as "what are you doing?" can help with clarifying the situation. What you are now is We are saying that nothing exists unless it can be converted into market value in this way, giving rise to a false ontology If it cannot be commodified, it is an impossible object. When asked, 'What do you do?', we are faced with the question of what we should do. Once a question is answered, it is evaluated and sized up Go to the typewriter and start typing Cast with an identity that had been It is an example of how the abstract is transformed into a concrete universality, thereby depriving the possibility of a concrete organic unity, resulting in, as Adorno would say, a reification. Social connections and human consciousness are now the sole monopoly of the job function. The work fetish is exemplified by this. Those who work in the division of labor and those involved in economic relations have had their value appraised, their worth evaluated. As soon as one is commoditized, they are sorted out based on is dependent on commercialized market relations, which create the conditions of a false ontology, which transforms impossible objects into something real when they are monetized and reduced to their The result is false objects with a false ontology. How have The Unemployed Philosophers Guild been able to bring to life objects such as this tea cup by monetizing philosophy and turning it into an economic relationship? In other words, how does false ontology become a reality through alchemy? To answer the most inanest of questions, "What are you doing?" Oops. . . what shall I say about what I When someone asks me a question, I usually answer I am certain that it is not enough. In the response, the person will likely say, "that's cute, but what do you do?". Is that really the case?” "Oh my God! Negation, and the power of negative thinking, is the only means to confront the reification of false conditions and to answer inane questions. I am a refusenik, a malcontent, a deviant, and a perpetual negationist. " What do you enjoy doing? I have always thought that a better question would be, "what do you like to do?"? Using "can you tell me what you do?" instead of "what do you do?" That's right. I can't answer your question since nobody has time to do anything but work, brag about how long and hard they work, and boast about how hard and long they When there are only one or two persons in a society, such questions are impossible Various types of people with the tendency to fetishize work that produces an anti-historical, post-modern aesthetic The literate and the conscientious This increasingly posthuman social order is ruled by plugin semiotics and is considered to be an artistic and unthinking social order Robots. Cyborgs. As a side note, each cup is not equipped with a handle, so it is a much better display piece than a tea cup, which is exactly what it should be, to prevent the threat of the philosophy being instrumentalized while trying to use it for tea.

Gift for the kid in your life
5/5

As a philosophy fan, I brought it to my brother for his birthday, and he really liked There is a lot of off-key music in the listener's head The picture actually shows a lighter shade of white than what it appears to be. Due to the fact that he is not much of a tea drinker, it is too small for him to use as a beverage container, but I figured it could serve as a pencil holder for him. This will serve as a bathroom cup for him in his bathroom.

5/5

Whether your giftee is aspiring to philosophy or simply loves mugs, this mug makes a perfect gift! A witty and fun piece of writing! Our daughter's philosophy teacher enjoyed this book, so we bought it for him as a gift.

It's a brilliant idea but, politically correct as it is, most 20th century philosophers don't make the grade and do not deserve to appear on the cup
4/5

A couple of pre-recorded tracks were also included The list here provides women from the twentieth century who are insignificant, but omits the first feminist, Mary Wollstonecraft (possibly due to her lengthy name). You can still have fun even though it's hard!.

The Hottest Stuff and the Coolest My favorite part of this mug is all the sketches of philosophers
5/5

The picture of Mills drew a chuckle from both of us when my son asked if it was a monkey. Despite the fact that this mug conducts heat well and needs to cool for a few minutes each time I drink from it, I enjoy drinking from.

Everybody should have access to philosophers
5/5

I gave this to my son who is earning a PhD in Political Theory and is using philosophers in his dissertation. He was very pleased with it and told me that he has already cited two of the philosophers in his papers.
