"Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present." -Ludwig Wittgenstein

"Dire que le monde ne vaut rien, que cette vie ne vaut rien, et donner pour preuve le mal est absurde, car si cela ne vaut rien, de quoi le mal prive-t-il?"
-Simone Weil

Recent Work

Thought I'd post some of my recent stuff online, in case anyone is interested.

Here are two philosophy papers. (Click link and scroll down page.) The first one outlines concerns with Christine Korsgaard's recent work on the relationship between ethics and agency. The second presents an interpretation of the relationship between Classical and Romantic Art in Hegel's Lectures on Fine Art. In the somewhat unlikely event that someone does read either of them, I'd love to have any feedback you'd be willing to offer.

Though unrelated to the standard topics of this blog, I thought I'd include a link to recent pottery that I've thrown.
