Freedom Within The Absolute Mind

So I need to write an essay at some point. Just for fun, just to explore things.

I think I can write something about the issue of freedom and choice and free will.

I think I can write about Collingwood and Foucault and Zizek.

It will cover some stuff like this:

1. The Absolute Mind And Determinism
2. Culture, Foucault, And Determinism
3. Retroactive Freedom

I don't think that is a very good outline. I'm not sure what I think.

It fascinates me how I used to just pump out little essays. I have become less satisfied with just a 15-20 page analysis of a very specific idea. I feel myself compelled to try to form larger pictures, longer pieces.

I dunno.

About Me

I spend most of my time working as a mental health professional. I have been preoccupied with philosophy, politics, healing, and many other questions for the last 15 years or so. I am currently working on putting together my study of Plato and Aristotle with contemporary work in philosophy, psychology, psychotherapy, and trauma research. I use this place primarily as a workshop for ideas. I welcome conversation with anyone working on similar problems. The major contours of my basic project have been outlined here
