Thoughts cause thoughts.

You might have a look at Sextus Empiricus and the ancient skeptics, if you haven't yet. Their work is free online somewhere, I'm sure.

Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer. La Fontaine

Philohilarity aside, thank you for the article. Arendt always writes a wonderful prose and her voice has a mesmerizing dark majesty. Like most philoso...

I've been scouring the SEP for evidence that shoes have free will.

Thank you! :smile:

You are your shoes? The shoe store must be an existential nightmare for you. :grin:

That's sound advice. We should all be careful to be wrong the right way.

I'd be interested in reading that. :smile:

Are new thoughts new information?

Compare what Nietzsche says about overcoming, also informative.

Speak for your own sphincter. I think it looks nice on the bookshelf next to my Hegel, Bergson, Derrida and Heidegger. Beautiful vast pointlessnesses.

Let's split "self-love" into: 1. Compassionate emotions and actions directed toward oneself. (Doing things that reflect a caring for self (in the same...

A love of wisdom and a fascination for power: It'd be an odd brain that could wed the two.

So many possibilities, it's easy to miss one. Who has the time or capacity to examine every possible line of play? :smile:
