Aug. 27th, 2013 12:17 pmI'm sort of disorganized right now. I mean, I've been like that for a couple of days, but I'm not sure why. Maybe it is because of change of environment? I'm not positive, but that is likely.
I read the middle portion of a book on Husserl last night. Surprisingly, I understood some of it despite my stupor, although I still think that his philosophy is more or less an unfinished product. Husserl had a tendency to go back to the starting point and rewrite everything; such a method would require more than a lifetime to produce something fruitful. I think that he was obviously a very smart and original man, but perhaps lacked faith and was too afraid of making small errors. What is more important is the greater picture; it really doesn't matter if such-and-such detail is wrong, unless if it is a foundational axiom. But I'm wise enough not to build a system like that.
I wrote a paper today, on Truth and Reality. I barely consider it a rough draft; my papers really only consist of rudimentary ideas to be built on for the construction of my book. I hope that it reads well later, though.
On a note on the personal side of my life, I mostly renounce my former misogynistic beliefs and feelings of violence. I thought of women as being selfish and amoral, when quite a few are not. And my personal feelings of hatred were destroying me; it was a good thing I kept them in check for if I hadn't, I would have been sent somewhere. I matter, therefore I should believe that others matter as well.
