* in boston for the weekend.
* have a horrible earache.
* bought death in venice. can't wait to read it.
* went to bu's library with ali. read 60 pages of aristotle rhetoric.
* i'm very fond of aristotle's writing style. although the content is very thoughtful and complex but the form is very simple, clear, and direct to the point.
* have become extremely interested in philosophy of mathematics. when it comes to the source and nature of mathematical truths i'm totally a realist. i think that mathematical entities exist independently of the mind. but at the same time i have a lot of questions regarding the application of this theory....
* robert solomon passed away a few months ago. he was a great scholar of nietzsche and other existentialists. made me sad to hear that he died relatively soon especially comparing to british philosophers who usually live long. utilitarian, hedonist, and egoist...after all no one knows how to maximize profit better than the british.
