GIANNI VATIMMO GIFFORD LECTURE at GLASGOW UNIVERSITY


Italian Professor and politician gave a lecture on the Tarski logistical proposition 'p' is True if and only if p.

Vatimmo is a politician who recently signed a petition by Academics requesting the EU to recognise and negotiate with Democratically elected Hamas.

Giannis best points were made in the political applications to the principle.He very astutely perceived that there is no such thing as thought in an absolute vacuum.Every Philosophy and Philosopher operates in paradigm which can be substantially different in historical base from even a near neighbour , for example the Anglo-Saxon Paradigm has a radically differing filter than the Mediterranean rim , whilst the Slav Paradigm is from a character which would be unrecognisable from the Celtic Paradigm.This means , even within a small regional area such as Europe we would have substantially altered constructs to the Tarski Principle from the experiences and inter-relations of these , sometimes barely compatible Paradigms.

As can be surmised from this , the Anglo-Saxon paradigm has been on the rise for the past Century.This construct has been a savagely imperialist , domineering , non-negotiating , expansionist Paradigm reflected in this decade alone with the "Coalition of The Willing" being an axis of the US-UK and Australia , which pushed through roughshod its programme against all other objections of all the other Paradigms put together to kick start the Neo-Con project by invading Iraq.Alas , the Iraqi resistance , an overt clash of paradigms if ever there is one , along with the Anglo-Saxon Economic Block recession has somewhat neutered , though not entirely extinguished this haughty phenomenon
