The 5th Stilt: May 2013
http://the5thstilt.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 29, 2013. It were all pretense, sir! Most ideas lifted from previous comments. How I sat through that preposterous mental torture astounds me. Silly plot. A different flavor from the two other Coen films I’ve watched – True Grit, No Country for Old Men. The Place Beyond the Pines. Also am a fan of the sort of prolonged agonizing tension that you find Cianfrance's Blue Valentine,. So I have to admit to being predisposed to like this one.). Empire of the Sun. It’s easy to empathize wit...

The 5th Stilt: August 2013
http://the5thstilt.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 30, 2013. Leibniz, Paley, Hume. Week #3 and #4. I guess more classic and "problematic" cases, such as The Book of Job. Or the punishment of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Old Testament would be interesting to analyze as well following the Leibnizian framework - - how does one make sense of a God who plays the dice with the accuser, or punishes great cities with such grandeur? Is it correct to say that we can't really infer that anymore if we argue by design and purpose? Good to point out the "m...

Thursday, December 19, 2013. The Pancreas and Philosophy. Andrzej Szahaj, "Richard Rorty: Memories":. When in the autumn of 2006 Dick sent me an e-mail with the information that he was suffering from pancreatic cancer, I was shocked. In the message he joked that on hearing the news that he had the same kind of cancer that had afflicted Derrida, his daughter Patricia had said, "It’s because you guys read too much Heidegger.". Jeffrey Stout, "Rorty at Princeton":. David Rigsbee, "Rorty from a Poet's View":.

Wednesday, January 29, 2014. The Falling of the Bright. Grief is different. Grief has no distance. Grief comes in waves, paroxysms, sudden apprehensions that weaken the knees and blind the eyes and obliterate the dailiness of life.
