Introduction to the PRG Programme.

As I've mentioned previously, everyone, the Philosophical Research Group has a rather programmatic nature, in that it is not interested in a standard philosophical discourse. We are primarily interested in Original Thought, brought to bear on the objects, events, and phenomena of everyday experience. However, by "Original Thought," I do not mean that external sources are discouraged— quite the opposite— all sources and angles are welcome, including historical background, anecdote, philosophical or intellectual history, suggestion, strategy, experiment, technical expertise, math and science— anything that excites the group, visibly and verbally. I mean by "Original Thought" that our ultimate goal is not merely learning what other's thought.
This blog will help strike up ideas as well as record them— and also, to helpfully and hopefully decentralize them. I envision half of the PRG dialogue takign place on-line, another quarter at the Philadelphia Institute for Advanced Study, and another quarter in weirder corners throughout the world.

So the ideas is also that the "Main Posts" will elicit a flurry of comments, and the comments are really the dialogue in action. Each Post acting as the start of the thread. This will remain pretty informal, maybe eventually transfering over to the PIFAS site.
