Studiously preparing for my next book project, thus books as Thinking as a Science by Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993), Elementary Lessons in Logic: Deductive and Inductive by William Stanley Jevons (1835-1882), Isagoge by Porphyry the Phoenician of Tyre (234-305 AD), and currently, Organon by Aristotle (384–322 BC), with 10+ more books yet read. The following are considerations as I "think out loud" while studying, pondering, laboring towards the articulation, exactness, conciseness, precision, consistency of thought on the matter, although such objectives ever elusive per the human propensities for error and excess (the Sin/Depravity of Man if you will). And so per notes scribbled late last night with a bottle of scotch...
"Common sense or analytic experiential can be so only by expanding one's burden of responsibility and risk from minimally upon childhood to partially upon adolescence to fully upon adulthood. Contingently of course, for if not fully then the developing and understanding of the same will be stunted, reduced then (nearly) irreversibly disabled.
If the aforementioned as the unavoidable prerequisite, then...
Uncommon sense or analytic logical can be so only by first expanding one's language hence vocabulary (literally words and definitions), then second by expanding one's systematic, syllogistic use of language and vocabulary ergo phrasing, structuring, conditioning, proposing, predicating, determining, concluding, and third by expanding one's indirect observation hence knowledge (i.e. pre-birth history) and one's direct observation hence knowledge (i.e. post-birth history)."
More to come as I wrestle over this book project. :-)
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
St. Jerome Writing by Caravaggio (1571-1610)
