The Absurd

My dad recently sent me an article by Thomas Nagel. It was titled 'The Absurd'.

It made me think about a lot of things.

My thinking is still focusing around historical ontology and the philosophy of action.

It seems that the notion of the absurd plays a role.

I'm still lost.

I'm still thinking a lot.

I'm glad my dad sent me this essay because I fucking loved reading it.

I fucking love reading philosophy.

Reading this thing I was like 'oh my god I love reading stuff like this'.

I just eat it up.

I want to start reading more philosophy.

I'm almost done with Naked Lunch.

After that I'll turn to reading some more philosophical stuff.

Then hopefully my writing will take off.

Whatever.

I just love philosophy so much.

Get over it, Riley.

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
