Can there be redemption or absolution?
If I feel this way, how can anyone go on in the violence they've incurred in life?
I've always been more of a Kantian than an Hegelian on the question of suffering. Hence, Adorno.

I have yet to post on LiveJournal in 2019. I needed to keep my streak. 2006-2019. I'm almost double the age when I started this journal.
I am currently writing my dissertation on Hegel and Kant. I started writing the rough draft in the beginning of June, and I'm already 60,000 words of my rough draft in. The final thing will be around 100,000-120, ( Read more... ) -

for kant, reason's unity is ultimately regulative indeed--practical reason is ultimately where reason is unified, yet theoretical reason provides certain things to practical reason (like concept of god as omnibenevolent, omniscient, and so on). moreover in the third critique kant's moral proof is supposed to reveal the (regulative) idea of God who ( Read more... ) -

Well, my time in Belgium was worth it, I guess, because I'll be attending my top choice PhD program in philosophy over in New York beginning September. I'm almost finished with my Mphil thesis on Schelling, and I've been reading some Fichte on the side. Hard to believe that only a few years ago I knew nothing about philosophy or that I'd end up ( Read more... ) -

I've spent the day looking back on old livejournal posts and cringing. I think it's easy to forget how long five years is, how much difference it makes to someone, when they're willing to learn and change. I never knew how ignorant and childish I was at the time.

I'm in grad school at KU Leuven in Belgium. I got funding from the government. I'm reading a lot about Hegel nowadays and I plan on writing my thesis on his view of infinity and its relation to God.
