Doesn't poetry, or rap, span the gap and blur the line? I mean, to your credit, clearly spoken language (like for instance if you and I were having th...
"Birdsong" is a metaphor for how we find the utterances of birds to have some analog to the music we make as humans. They don't "sing" in a literal se...
I don't feel qualified, but I'm up for the task. Reminds me of the days when I accidentally became...the arbiter of truth in some bizarre thread of yo...
Reminds me of a viral youtube channel with drum set tutorials tied in with philosophy I wanted to start called "I Kant Play That". Woah, I was not act...
:100: I've unrealistically entertained suicide. I just say that as a friend, to attempt to give some sort of context to whatever it is you've experien...

Yes, and then, with that in mind: "The grasping of an object such as an essence or a nature, brought out in its intelligible, supra-sensual components...
Anyways, back to Maritain. I had a chance to quickly read through that lecture, @"Wayfarer". I've only read a little Maritain in the past, over 5 year...
