1 good reason to use Kobo Plus for awhile
For me that is, that you can have a great amount of G.E.M. Anscombe's writings. There also a lot of lengthy lectures on her on YouTube. Her book on Moral Philosophy made a big splash, cited endlessly in those articles written for those who specialize in these fields. She was a student of Ludwig Wittegenstein also, perhaps the last of the classic thinkers, Derek Jarman made a lovely film about him too, it's fantastical in a way, there's a green martian guy who has a speech at the end which i believe is from a Wittgenstein work, and it's something i could insert into a pick and choose canon of thoughts that i would ascribe to. Elizabeth Anscombe though is the star here, some further info about her before i get back to it all is that she was Catholic, and her ism is called Consequentialism!!
And i'm using Kindle Unlimited also now for those lovely Cicero translations posted about before by some guy who lives in some place like Kentucky who has a pen name like an ancient Roman Quintus Curtius, they are read on the kindle app so the photos can be seen in full color, it's a nice touch!!
I really do want to give an exhaustive bibliography of all i'm filling my time with, it will just take time, the way to do it is to have a document i can continually edit in more names, titles and thoughts, which will be like a blueprint for being able to talk about all of these things, or perhaps that's too lofty a goal, rather it would equip me simply to follow along better in rereads.
That's it folks, all of it are going to aid each other, where one is too abstract or dense for me, there'd be a bunch of others that will clarify, as to lesser or greater degrees all of it for any specimen that comes through too weakly at any given moment.
And as a concluding thought for now, the things i am drawn to, are all about things, that's as basic as you can get, i aim to gather a huge ecosystem of thought, and when we're dealing with thought, it's not like plants and nature stuff, thoughts for us humans come with baggage, i sense that when i open up about these things someone will just have to tell me not to bother because of the implications of certain thoughts. To which i reply, i shall be selecting what is of value to me as i go through all the material, but to have a fully formed opinion before maximal comprehension isn't seen by me as being fair either to the sources or to the outlook.
When one sees the way that is regularized in one's own current times as just as faulty if not more so that it ever has been, old errors may have some corrections for current errors, the old errors may look more like truth than what is accepted so easily currently. To think differently, using the voices of the past, irregardless of their perceived value by those who's opinions i would hope at least was arrived at through some rigorous standards of investigation, i cannot speak for others just myself, and for me the jury will be out for awhile. And it will be like a easter egg hunt all the way through, to put it in a topical way for this sacred time of year for those who follow a rich tradition that i am recuperating from.
Yeah, recuperation is what this is, there's a place for it all still, but not the emphases that would conduct my sessions in the past, where the Puritans played such a role.
The Puritans spoke to believers, and i cannot say i'm one of them, not in that sense at least. What i like now is to have the bulk coming from the distant past, with some interesting figures of recent times like Anscombe, Hannah Arendt would be another goodie, Simone Weil etcetera, plus i have seen a Mary Midgley around while looking into Anscombe.
I wish i started this all when i was something like 11 yrs old, to give me more time.
