GD Alexander: Writers' Blog. What I’m Currently Reading. Gotta go slow in LIFE. May 21, 2013 · 11:12 pm. Destiny: I just don’t believe in it. Don’t waste your life pondering your fate; take risks and take everything into your own hands. Destiny. It’s a cool word, it really is. As a writer, I admire words that carry power, and among such words, ‘destiny’ is a heavy-hitting word that is both melodious and haunting in sound. I just don’t believe in the notion of destiny. These are lazy people. Hopeless ...

https://redstateironist.wordpress.com/horkheimer
I Hear It Loves Company. Riff Raff on a Full Ride. The Social Function of Philosophy. Finally, everyone knows that there is no agreement in method. The Neo-Kantians all believe that the procedure of philosophy must consist in the analysis of concepts and their reduction to the ultimate elements of cognition. Bergson and Max Scheler consider intuition (. Voilà les bêtises qui recommencent! Here comes some more of that nonsense! It is true that the definitions of many modern authors, some of which have alr...

https://redstateironist.wordpress.com/disquietude
I Hear It Loves Company. Riff Raff on a Full Ride. Excerpts from The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa. My life: a tragedy booed off the stage by the gods, never getting beyond the first act. Friends: not one. Just a few acquaintances who imagine they feel something for me and who might be sorry if a train ran over me and the funeral was on a rainy day. When one of my Japanese teacups is broken, I imagine that the real cause was not the careless hand of a maid but the anxieties of the figures inhabitin...

Fetishism | I Hear It Loves Company
https://redstateironist.wordpress.com/lukacs-on-fetishism
I Hear It Loves Company. Riff Raff on a Full Ride. From History and Class Consciousness. At the same time this structure and this hierarchy are the central theme of history. History is no longer an enigmatic flux to which. And the nature of history is precisely that every definition degenerates into an illusion: history is the history of the unceasing overthrow of the objective forms that shape the life of man. Of the very rationalism or religiosity they mean to oppose. Hence they may sometimes be a ...

Essay 17 | I Hear It Loves Company
https://redstateironist.wordpress.com/essay-17
I Hear It Loves Company. Riff Raff on a Full Ride. Montaigne’s That to Study Philosophy is to Learn to Die. The controversies and disputes of the philosophical sects upon this point are merely verbal- “Transcurramus solertissimas nugas”- there is more in them of opposition and obstinacy than is consistent with so sacred a profession; but whatsoever personage a man takes upon himself to perform, he ever mixes his own part with it. For what human means will ever attain its enjoyment? Young and old die upon...

Paine’s God | I Hear It Loves Company
https://redstateironist.wordpress.com/paines-god
I Hear It Loves Company. Riff Raff on a Full Ride. From The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine. As several of my colleagues and others of my fellow-citizens of France have given me the example of making their voluntary and individual profession of faith, I also will make mine; and I do this with all that sincerity and frankness with which the mind of man communicates with itself. I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life. I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those wh...

I Hear It Loves Company. Riff Raff on a Full Ride. A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right. 8211; – – – – – – – – – – – –. 8220;…the criticism of religion is the prerequisite of all criticism. Existence of error is compromised as soon as its heavenly oratio pro aris et focis. Has been refuted. Man, who has found only the reflection. Of himself in the fantastic reality of heaven, where he sought a superman, will no longer feel disposed to find the mere appearance. The world of man.
