Søren Kierkegaard is
one of the most intriguing philosophers in the Western tradition.
"Alas, Poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and
now, how abhorred in my imagination it
is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those lips that I have
kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen? Now get you to my lady's chamber, and
tell her, let her paint an
inch thick, to this favour she must come; make her laugh at that."
"....You cannot separate the just from the unjust and
the good from the wicked; For they stand together before the face of the sun even as the black thread and
the white are
woven together. and
when the black thread breaks, the weaver shall look into the whole cloth, and
he shall examine the loom also."
"It is
supposed to be the most difficult task for a dancer to leap into a definite posture in such a way that there is
not a second when he is
grasping after the posture, but by the leap itself he stands fixed in that posture. Perhaps no dancer can do it
-- that is
what this knight does. Most people live dejectedly in worldly sorrow and
joy; they are
the ones who sit along the wall and
do not join in the dance. The knights of infinity are
dancers and
possess elevation. They make the movements upward, and
fall down again; and
this too is
no mean pastime, nor ungraceful to behold."
I've been on Wikipedia for a while, besides vacation
I find it
very useful in finding information.
But alas, Poor Yorick, Wikipedia made me a Wikipediaholic
Damn it
Wiki, a POX on thee!!
I've been on the 12 steps to recovery,
but got stuck on number three.
What to do, what to do
What would be the prudent thing to do?
Abstain thy Wiki? Ruin thee? Cry?
On the verge of madness, was I
And then I realized, in my newfound philosophy
That Wiki was a blessing, not a curse
So I embarked on a quest for knowledge
Searching for things like Gosport and nurse
To find in much horror, that it
was BORING
I'd much rather go out and
meet a girl
Throwing one-liners and
scoring
So I decided to leave my loft, my wings unfurled
And I am
reminded, as I leave the computer
Of an
old folk parting, by two comedians, and
Shuster">Johnny and
Frank
Good Bye, so long, farewell, adieu mon vieux
Good Bye until we meet again!
(Probably next week, curse that Wikipediaholic ;) =Þ)
Counterfactuals: Needs fuller and
more accurate summary of main theories, as well as indication of philosophical importance in other topics, notably causation and
inference.
Human agency: Expand, correct, and
reference. Any support for altering the name?
