Yea dog

I love Soren Kierkegaard

Picked this book up at the start of the year and I forgot I had it. I really loved this book as a kid, and now that I’m reading it again I see why my dad and late grandfather loved it as well. Truly timeless.

I’m just chilling outside a venue rn but I think I made it to page 70 in this book by now. Kierkegaard is so awesome

I’m finishing this today mark my words

Do I add my books from class to the goodreads???

Had to put this book down for a little be bc of moving but so glad to finally pick it back up; feels like I never left.

Quality is a very confusing thing then huh

This book feels so connected to my preexisting thoughts I can’t believe it. Like when he started talking about Phaedres’ obsession with Kantian ethics I was like bruh! That was literally me! I understand Kant isn’t some unknown philosopher but still it just felt so gratifying reading a book referencing another book and getting the references! Also listening to Eno while reading is def the move. 100/10 love love

Oooo we’re getting into inductive and reductive reasoning!!

Idk if it’s just this season I’m in or what but every word off these pages hangs onto my brain like an anchor. I absolutely love the way pheadrus’ philosophy is depicted and how it’s so meticulously intertwined in the ongoing story of the Chautauqua. Also can’t help but feel some form of relation with the son and his sort of mental deterioration. So incredible and introspective 10/10 already

I don’t even own a motorcycle

Hmmm ok I’m starting to understand him a little more. The perspective he gives on ego and the true intent of virtuous behavior do hold some logical merit but I’m not completely sold on his ideals.

Absolutely love these takes on simple terminology. A true test of wits is being able to explain broad topics to someone with no prior knowledge.
