If you're experiencing webcam issues, try restarting your computer. Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve temporary software glitches and restore the functionality of the webcam.

Apply light pressure to the cloth with the capped end of a pen. Remove the pen and cloth after 15-20 seconds. Wipe the grease pencil from your screen and turn on the television.

I think Wilson agreed, "reason" alone was insufficent, but needed "the innate moral sense" to plug what Hume would term the "is/ought" gap. So it's not just "reason," but "reason and the senses." Throw in some revelation and have them all three working together and then you get a complete picture.Jonathan Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079637406589278386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-75730061896229162132012-04-20T23:02:10.352-06:002012-04-20T23:02:10.352-06:00I've only done the first page, but here we see...I've only done the first page, but here we see James Wilson---typical of the Scottish Common Sense Enlightenment [SCSE]---defending natural law via the "innate moral sense."<br /><br />He also has a distrust of "reason," that reason---thought---can pervert truth in the mind, working as <i>rationalization</i>.<br /><br />Or as I like to put it, If you can't lie to yourself, who can you lie to?<br /><br />And even though [the rather atheistic] David Hume isn't part of the SCSE, he too questions the honesty of human "reason," that we use our brains more to justify our prejudices ["passions"] than use our noodles to come to the right ideas.<br /><br />And in fact, recent science studying the workings of the human brain seems to back that up...!<br /><br />Great stuff, Jon, and thank you. As always, the more I read of James Wilson the more I'm stunned at his wisdom, a giant who stands astride the Old World and the New.<br /><br />And in fact, he was born and educated in Scotland during the SCSE, and happily [for us] moved to America in 1766.<br /><br />The greatest Founder nobody ever heard of.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Wilson<br /><br />[Except for American Creation blog readers, of course, and a few others out there.]Tom Van Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121072404143877596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-82049630858159614002012-04-20T18:43:50.369-06:002012-04-20T18:43:50.369-06:00.

Geez, I thought the guards were going to have be thrown in jail. But, with a cell phone, today, I could take all the pictures I want.<br />.Phil Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756814849309388483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-60383115479003021482012-04-20T08:49:43.023-06:002012-04-20T08:49:43.023-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ray Sollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950061062767093373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-4859125063723756242012-04-20T08:49:42.697-06:002012-04-20T08:49:42.697-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ray Sollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950061062767093373noreply@blogger.com
