Response in 2 Parts Part 1 This essay is heavy with dry theory. The author attempts a comparative analysis of foundational certainties. Structural par...
I am so disappointed that this hasn't received more attention. There is plenty to love and comment on. At least to point out the parts that grabbed yo...
This has been explained to you before.* If you don't understand it by this time, you are either an idiot, being deliberately obtuse (boneheaded) or ha...
Thanks for the reminder. To engage with the passages. I meant to return, especially to this: Why no closer to a meaning? What does it mean to be human...

I think this sums up well the problems of freedom. Both as a philosophical concept and the practice. Is it possible to create a fair and balanced soci...
Yes. Same here. I've enjoyed our meandering musings. Amusement in mystification. The author had better put us out of our miserable happiness. It's all...
Yes. He was ethical. However, in the Myth of Sisyphus, he writes of an ethics which is less about accepting social moral codes and more about individu...
Try reading the essay carefully. Not only what the paradox is, but its effects. Recent events have shown the danger of Trump to American democracy. Tr...
Even not knowing what to say, you still typed the words, your thoughts. Look where they led. To a deeper exploration. I'm now thinking about the issue...
The liberty paradox - more dangerous than mere hypocrisy - is shown in its extreme form. Trump, the current criminal in charge of the USA, uses the co...
Yes, of course. I mean no disrespect to the life/mind being explored. I meant that there is no need for me to know the past. It would make it more int...
I don't pretend to fully understand it either. It is a challenge. I appreciate the further prodding to look again. Here I go... The reader steps in to...
I don't know about the authors, or other readers, but I'm enjoying taking time to read and respond to each essay. To puzzle things out before someone ...

Good attitude, I think. But there are Guidelines to follow, doncha know?! Sounds like it was probably the final straw. I'm just interested to know the...
From the Shoutbox: It would be interesting to hear about the book and @"Moliere"'s response. What was it? Rather than a swift deletion of the OP witho...
He has not vanished. I hope he is still around and not taken action which may be even more drastic. That people can change is self-evident. I will not...

I tend to start with the title. Then the subtitle: The author introduces us to a worldview. A study. A way of looking at power and freedom. The effect...
@"Jamal" - so sorry to hear of this dramatic turn of events. All of this and the way it has been handled is most unfortunate. I would like to add my t...
