I loved Dr Seuss, my kids loved Dr Seuss too, Imagine a childhood without his wonderful books. My kids had the whole collection which helped them so much when they were learning to read plus I got to enjoy those stories all over again too.

Edwin: entirely agree with you. My proposed solution was, of course, a joke. We need a proper dialogue between mathematicians and philosophers, and we need not because philosophy of mathematics is stagnant, but because mathematics is in crisis.

i understand your reaction, but don’t agree with your solution. I wrote my phd on the philosophy of mathematics, and it was largely inspired by an attitude like yours “there is something wrong with philosophy of mathematics”. Unfortunately what is wrong with fM, apart from what is wrong with academic philosophy generally [ridiculous overspecialisation, obsession with fashionable star thinkers and hot topics, impenetrable technicality, institutional pressure for unnecesary publication etc etc] can largely be blame don mathematicians – the main obsessionin fM are all tied up with e thedeveloment of formal logic and metamathematics; the ruling assumptions are that only mathematical models can answer philospophical questions about mathematics and that somehow foundations – tho generally agreed to be not possible – are somehow needed all the same. Oh and by the way, amateur philosophy is often even worse than the professional sort …

Some of what passes for philosophy today is trivia at best and nonsensical verbalism at worst. What happened to philosophy as the love and pursuit of meaningful wisdom? Is it nothing more today than a bunch of eggheads keeping their socially irrelevant jobs?

Comment on Analytic Phonics by Debbie Strakowski

Debbie Strakowski — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:14:55 +0000

Phonics is a system of instruction that aims to teach students how to read in English. It involves the introduction of individual letters or grouped letters that form the simplest parts of a spoken English word. For example, the word “bat” can be read by first separately introducing the letter “b” and demonstrating how it is pronounced and doing the same with the words “at”. Pronouncing them in the right sequence will lead to the pronunciation of the word “bat”.
