:krs:Omg, teach me more. Have you read Being and Nothingness by Sartre?

How did you know to ask this question brehette? :dwillhuh: I'm legit freaked out :lupe:, this is one of the first philosophy books I read back when I was 16. I don't recall much of it, except for his differentiation of the essence of man and the essence of things (he used chair and stone as an example, that much I remember).

It's a book I'll eventually have to go back to because I couldn't quite handle the concepts he spoke of, but now I've got the tools to view his work with the proper the philosophical methods.

The one thing I remember from the book was trying to understand the idea of objects just simply "being". Being En-soi (french for in-itself) and Being pour-soi (french for for-itself). To say the book was hard to swallow would be an understatement. :wow: I now wonder if the book is as hard as Hegel's phenomenology of spirit :jbhmm:...probably not. Thankfully it's a small book, so I don't mind going back to it. I gotta read Foucault too anyway, I've been slacking on the french philosophers.

You like philosophy though?

Lemme interject in saying that the Socratic method is literally questioning everything a person says down to the foundation or premise of the words, concepts and definitions in their answers. If you really wanted to be a dikk head you could make asking Gordon Ramsey how to make an omelet a 5 hour conversation :mjlol:

Bro, that would be endlessly hilarious if someone actually did that.

Nothing..















































because I dont exist :wow:

:jbhmm:

For one to claim that he does not exist, I must ask "who is making the statement?":jbhmm:


Self Identity is the cornerstone of being. One cannot become "I" whilst having no identity to call his own. :jbhmm:


By claiming you do not exist, you have affirmed your own existence :troll:
