I have invited a couple of friends to collaborate here. This is partially to alleviate the burden of content from myself, as my ideas come slowly and with great pains and labor. However, this is also to give you all some philosophical variety.
So, I now introduce to you: Ignass Kristensen and Aldan Shepard, two students of philosophy that I have met in my time abroad in these United States as a graduate student. Aldan is, in particular, a student of Analytical Philosophy, and I hope that he will provide a quite unique perspective on the issues which we intend to discuss. I will serve, for the most part, as a moderator and synthesizer, bring their ideas together, and -- hopefully -- maintaining harmony on this blog.
Today, you will enjoy a post from Aldan, touching on the ideas that are touched in the previous post, from a totally different perspective. His writing is meandering and thoughtful, and a pleasure to read.
As to our other new author, I must admit that I owe a good deal of the ideas and language of the previous post to Ignass (and ultimately, Kierkegaard, in case you didn't notice). I hope you will all interpret that post as characteristic of his style, until such a time as he makes a contribution complete his own.
