New Blog
I have started a new blog devoted to philosophical investigations. Taking a line from Kierkegaard, I have named it “The Crowd is Untruth.” I’ll be posting on it semi-regularly (i.e., a couple times a week). So if the history of Western philosophy (e.g., Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Nietzsche, Dewey) and its contemporary trajectories interest you, then please stop by and join in the discussion anytime. Here’s the About pitch:
“The Crowd is Untruth” is a Kierkegaardian clarion to self-authenticity, self-accountability and resolute action. It suggests that only from the deepest recesses of the self can one choose to become that which one desires to be and what one is destined to be. The philosophical approach to life is an avenue worth taking.
This blog will host an exploration of our philosophical forebears as well as my own reflections, ruminations and inquiries. The only theme of this blog is that which its title suggests: a striving to understand the human condition for oneself rather than relying upon others to think for one’s self. This understanding sometimes occurs against the crowd, sometimes with the crowd. But it ought not come from crowd. Hence, the crowd is untruth.

Looking forward to it. I’ve clicked on the link before, and was disappointed no posts were up yet. Sounds interesting.
Sounds very promising. I anticipate postings.
I have a few friends who will love it. I am sorry, Poli, but it is not up my alley but good job for doing it. I do think there is a need.
Cool beans! I like the banner. I’d put Ricoeur in there, but that’s just I.
Putting aside the giants, who would you say have been the philosophers most influential on your philosophizing?
Poli,
You should check out and provide a link for the blog ‘Church and Postmodern Culture’.
And where is Theodor Adorno and Terry Eagleton (along with Fredric Jameson) on your banner?
So, you tell me that you are “too busy”; “overloaded”; “biting off more than you can chew”… and yet you have time to maintain multiple blog commitments?
Sorry, had to say something… my job.

I’m still detoxing from a Descartes article I just finished. Lately, it’s been Ortega, Sartre and Marion.

Adorno’s at the top left. No way I’m leaving out the “culture industry.”

Ha! Well, most of the early material will be papers I’ve written for my philosophy courses. Sooner or later I’ll start writing for the blog.
