First Post
Welcome.....
Post One: PreSocratic rantings of an ex-Philosophy major, IT professional, working for an educational institution.
I guess I've always wanted an anonymous place to rant and rave, voice my opinion, or do "whatever", even if nobody reads it...... (If I compose and post a message, and nobody is there to read it, does it have linguistic merit?)
My favourite Philosophical Fragments
All can be pondered deeply, or taken at face value.....
Heraclitus
On Inquiry
- Seekers after gold dig up much earth and find little
- One should not act or speak as if he were asleep
- Nature loves to hide
- Everything flows and nothing abides; everything gives way and nothing stays fixed
- You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters and yet others go ever flowing on
- Thinking is common to all
- It is weariness to keep toiling at the same things so that one becomes ruled by them
- Dogs bark at a person whom they do not know
