Gravity: A Falling Montage

For no other reason than its sublime beauty: “Daydream” by cellist and composer Giovanni Sollima. 

It’s important to walk  There are friends yet to meet  My dog says “Forget about it!”  My dog says “Let’s run in the woods” 

Día internacional de la filosofía 2015

Today is World Philosophy Day! In 2005, the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO), recognized the third Thursday of November as a time to celebrate philosophy. To celebrate World Philosophy Day this year, we’ve compiled a collection of books and articles on social and political philosophy, including Rousseau and Hobbes, “Why Do We Need Political Philosophy,” and “The Physician’s Right of Refusal: What Are the Limits.”

Celebrate philosophy and explore the complete collection.

The only obsession everyone wants: ‘love.’ People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you’re whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You’re whole, and then you’re cracked open.

Philip Roth, The Dying Animal (via wordsnquotes)

Day 39 _ Bicycle.

What the music says may be serious, but as a medium it should not be questioned, analysed, or taken so seriously. I think it should be tarted up, made into a prostitute, a parody of itself.

David Bowie (1947–2016) in Rolling Stone, 1 April 1971 (via oupacademic)

...it is vital not to forget another question that is to be asked both about morality and about moral philosophy, how far what we say rings true

Bernard Williams “Preface” to Morality. An Introduction to Ethics, 1993.
