If you like I could give you sections of the philosopher's I am critiqueing. So many philosopher's can't see past the surface Nietzsche or plato, or the dry arid text of Aristotle. It's a shame thy are teaching at all without that creative understanding that points why these philosophies are so important. Instead, they teach an idea like on a conveyor belt and feed you at the trough.
For god's sake. I had a philosophy of science professor tell me that that 1984 was all about how one couldn't make love in private. That's like saying Crime and Punishment is about Russia. That guy was an idiot. Are you familiar with Plato's cave? I have that nearly polished in lyrical form. I also have the beggnings of the university and it's original purpose and how we're straying away from that. What else... I have Plato symposium which is about beauty and love. I have Herodotus' Histories who is the father of history. After Nietsche I will do Plato's Phadrus, then do aristotl'es ethics and the perfect life, then a bit on romanticism all tied into a narrative in a lyrical style. The story line is pretty ****ing awesome too.
I wish I could share with you the entire storyline. Someday when it is finished I suppose. Just a few more dialgues to write and then it's all fun sotry line from there!
