You are right of course. The plays are plays. And ”commercial” minus the poetry ;) and yet, the poetry is there, for the non-commercial reader. (I hear they exist)
Perhaps, but I think that is beside the point. I read the tales for the voices of the characters, and for the poetry. It’s like Shakespeare, where the plot or story is usually a bit boring, more of a pretext to the…
It it surprising that science, which is the theory of impersonal necessity, should find individual agency a rather inconceivable thing?
Indeed
I think your comparisons miss the point: those technologies improved means of production of things made by humans. Instead, these applied statistics models directly seek to emulate the humans themselves. You say ”it…
A different stance from Amherst: I’m Nobody! Who are you? Are you – Nobody – too? Then there’s a pair of us! Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know! How dreary – to be – Somebody! How public – like a Frog – To tell…
“ … I love all waste And solitary places; where we taste The pleasure of believing what we see Is boundless, as we wish our souls to be.”
Do you take yourself to be an illusion?
take a sample of Morris' own writing, from 'Useful Work versus Useless Toil' : "Worthy work carries with it the hope of pleasure in rest, the hope of the pleasure in our using what it makes, and the hope of pleasure in…
Morris' good advice is a weaker statement of Keats' last words in the Grecian Urn, where the difference between use & beauty becomes null - & belief is left out of it altogether. Morris loved Keats and towards the end…
The denial of reality may be something, (clearly in the trivial cases, denial of facts, it is a common fault) - but more interesting is to ask the converse question: just what exactly does it mean to "accept" reality?…
Thanks, I'll have to look the recording up.
Interesting, thanks. I want to know more about Lutherism, if you have any suggestions? As for my point, I'm not 100% sure there was one, except that it's nice to observe a theologian having common ground with the…
Forget the curvature of the earth. The controversy is how a belief in science, which is necessary, translates into a non-trivial understanding of human life, which is voluntary - this is where things get "religious", in…

It may well be that “Socrates, the mouthpiece character created by Plato" was more real, platonically speaking, than the historical entity that went by that name.
In the ninth book of the Republic, Socrates casually describes the mass of human beings as things without even the dignity of animals, characteristically they are " bent over their tables, they feed like cattle with…
Addendum: Bach's musical sentences are even more inspiring than Joyce's prosody, try the rhetoric of the cello suites, for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbH3JYfRjOQ - (this is a good recording, especially…
Dante is incredibly hard to read, maybe he is worth it, I admit for myself I do not know.
Oscar Wilde took it that way as well, if you value his opinion.
Interestingly, "those who kept their rage inside at all time, instead of expressing it" would come very close to Freud's general sense of repression, inhibition, and Melancholia. Thus depression. And it wouldn't chime…
Dante, one of the harshest imaginations to ever write itself into a poem believed that, for instance, depression was a sin meriting eternal punishment by drowning over and over in a pool of filth and kept from rising to…
