I couldn't fill in all the blank areas, but (hopefully) some of these notes will help clarify/ add to your post:
ReplyDeleteNature #2: That which is susceptible to instrumental description. Invests knowable with instrumentality, which anticipates ideas of belief, knowledge. [could be viewed as a reaction to Naturalists' view in Nature #1]
Nature #3: Conventional against the unnatural. [how social sciences produce the image of scientificity]
Nature #5: ["opposite view" of instrumentality of Nature #2]
I missed this class. Are these in some kind of chronological order? Is nature one like Plato's view? They all seem very similar to me.
