📢#OutNow in #OA: 'A Relational Realist Vision for Education Policy and Practice', by Basem Adi.

This volume argues that relational realism can help us to make better #educational #policy that is more effective in practice. Basem Adi draws on critical realism to thoroughly re-examine fundamental assumptions about how #government #policymaking works, developing an #ontological basis from which to examine existing #government approaches and imagine an alternative approach based on a relational realist-informed critical #pedagogy.

Adi casts familiar issues in a new light by drawing on a less familiar theoretical and #metatheoretical tradition, offering a critique that can be productively engaged with by many #educational organizations to tackle the issues they face.

150 (or so) Arguments for #Atheism

"A popular view in contemporary #analytic #philosophy of #religion is that while there are many arguments for #theism -- #cosmological, #ontological, and #teleological arguments; #moral arguments; arguments from #consciousness; etc. (...) -- there are only one or two arguments for atheism, viz., the problem of #evil and (more recently) the argument from #divine hiddenness.

This is a misconception. Here are well over 150"

📢CfP: With @EhrnstromMaria we are organising a session at the #SSD2023 conf. Inviting contributions on:
- #anticapitalist, #anticolonial, post and #degrowth approaches to #transformations &
- #posthuman, #multispecies, #relational and #ontological approaches.

To apply, find our session: "Just and Relational, Decolonial and Postgrowth Transformations" and send us an abstract: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/sustainability-science-days-2023/theme-calls/open-call-abstracts

"The system" doesn't exist outside our mindsets, logics, values. It's embedded in and reproduced by them.

So we can't possibly speak about #systemchange without speaking of change of what's fundamentally system's foundation.

Hence my interest in #ontological change. Just making that clear to myself too :)

Are our religious #beliefs justifiable? In other words, which of our faith claims are #ontological claims? Which are subjective claims?
We must ask because we usually have faith that our beliefs are true, yet faith is not synonymous with #knowledge.
And now an even deeper question: How can anyone know that any of our claims about beliefs or knowledge are true? We feel like we have knowledge ("I know that such-and-such is true") but how did we come to know this?

I think #SystemsTheory (#SystemsThinking and #SystemsDynamics ) with #Attractors and #Affordances gives us a good path to #Ought from #Is. The #ontological reality of the #system you are in defines the #moral landscape on which you operate.

Visiting ‘home’: Considering diasporic practices through assemblage dynamics

By Lauren B Wagner

Exploring a case where visiting is motivated by #tourism as much as – or more than – #migration, I argue for using #assemblage as a set of #ontological premises that enables alternative appreciations of how practices of ‘visiting home’ evolve.

Recently read this articl about "why we should embrace #Ontological #Humility":

https://spin.atomicobject.com/2020/05/02/ontological-humility-work/
I understand #EpistemicHumility but don't know where to put the #OntologicalHumility.

Just because we are not able to perceive the "true" #Reality, that does not mean such a thing does not exist and that we all live in our own little #AlternativeReality.

I think a much better term would be #ControlHumility for the fact that our #control capabilities do not extend beyond controlling our own internal #state.

As an illustration of the pervasive lack of control humility in our society, in a recent discussion, I've got this comment: "This controller's "internal" states just controlled you, or you would not have responded."😀
