And philosophy! You're my new best friend on the site. I like philosophy too, though I lean toward the Sartre end of things. However, I often get nasty comments that I'm not on the site for my existentialist musings We must band together.
Those Germans. Good thing they've moved on from Wittgenstein to the degenerate hedonism that I witnessed in Berlin on New Year's Eve.
Nakonets, nashla eshchyo russogovoryashchogo filosofa. I have never read Isaiah Berlin; I will add that to my already-long list, so don't be surprised if I fire philosophy at you six months from now. Pick up "The Stranger" by Camus, it's a short and interesting read. Also, what's your take on Waiting for Godot, and how it fits/doesn't fit into the existentialist paradigm? One of the reasons I love existentialism is that the big names are very keen on exploring and demonstrating their worldview through literature, and I thought Godot ... well, I'll wait to see what you think.
