In my experience (philosophy writer), chapters very often are totally arbitrary. They have one fundamental goal: help people read your ideas. Sometimes, it is very hard to allineate the writer's needs and the reader’s ones. I know it would sound stupid, but the better suggestion I received about chapters has been "write down what you think, divide later." It really works for me. If you need help or have doubts about "ontology," drop me a line: it is my specialty. Keep on writing, and good luck!
aaaaaaaaa totally in love with you going on a weekend getaway with your mom, you both seem to have such a good time with each other. That's really a huge thing
Like the music choice, and particularly sound at 13:00
Progress, Morgan! 🎉 Love your bookstore adventure! ❤ 📚
Watching this video, I concluded that I would have way more books if I had a bunch of ways to get secondhand English books that easily. Makes sense, hadn't realised that before. And I am currently at part IV of Tomorrow And Tomorrow And Tomorrow. :)
I've only read 50 pages and then got distracted by other things... But it's still next to my bed to pick up! And yes, these massive secondhand bookstores are soooo dangerous.
I think it's important to know that everything is fluid, including chapters, but for me I've started my writing with a LOT of chapters planned, as a means of trying to cover everything in a succinct way. This is most important in my literature review (not sure if it's different for you, but here we have basic sections of Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Outcomes, Conclusion) where there is a whole field to cover.
I, too, have the difficulty of a long list of definitions and the repeated use of terms in various circumstances. I use italics instead of capitalisation when referring to terms, but I do see myself including a lot of footnotes which define terms.
Very interesting. I use MLA format which discourages use of footnotes, and I suspect would discourage use of italics, too, since book titles are italicized and that could get confusing! What citation format do you use?
@@morganeuawe use AGPS which is kind of like a version of APA. It's not huge on footnotes, but is fine with them if they are commentary (rather than citations which are in-text parentheticals). I can see why italics would be an issue with book titles, but I feel like lower-case italics for terms is pretty standard and surely clear enough that it's not a title?
Thank you for motivating me for my own work.
Oh, I'm so glad the content is motivational! Thank you!
"... pull into M$ Word..." and "... Zotero"... see 'this week's vid from Danny Hatcher, doing just that near the end of his vid.
Nicely done, and good to see you take off with Mum too... v.important.
And with the double (triple even) stacking... I 'hate' book barns. ; )))))
Thank you for the content, I love your videos!
Thanks for saying so and thanks for watching! 😊
omg I have a problem with overwriting too. keep up the good work!!! recharging batteries is important too.
Thanks!
Thank YOU! ☺️ Glad you're enjoying the content!
That second book store looked amazing! I recently visited one like it in London called Book Addict and it was so fun to browse through the stacks. If you don't mind sharing, what was the store's name?
Thank you for the clips of your mother. It gives me a good idea as to what you will look like when you are her age.
I think I really will, too, we have a lot of similar features!
What you’re describing at the beginning (of building your definition and idea of “object” over the course of your writing) is hermeneutics. This method can help the reader understand you and where you are going with your ideas. I don’t think it’s that strange. Regardless, I hope you figure out what works best for your work.
Also, re flat ontology-we already view people as objects to be mastered. This is the result of our technological ontology that currently dominates our manner of perception/seeing beings. Think of “human resource” departments, for instance. In our attempts to be master of all beings we ourselves have become the subjugated. Cf. The second half of the essay “The Question Concerning Technology” by Heidegger for a better explanation of what I’m talking about
