Really Not Writing

I'm really not writing very much right now.

I have a lot of other things that are occupying my thoughts.

And plus I've been reading Naked Lunch with some friends and it has been irritating me.

Typically when my reading suffers my writing suffers.

And unfortunately I don't feel like I'm thriving with Burroughs. Oh well.

I have all kinds of thoughts still floating around about historical ontology, theory of action, habits, and so on. All kinds of messes to sort thanks to Foucault, Hacking, Smith, Collingwood, Scarry, so on.

Meh!

I don't have to patience right now.

I need to be more concerned with the basic aspects of my life right now. I can't deal with philosophical thinking in depth right now. The basics are in turmoil. I can't afford to spend a lot of time thinking abstractly.

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
