It’s been over a month since I was in Paris! I need to get back into better habits about my blog! In any case, I am finally going to get these posts up…so here it goes!
My trip to Paris with “Historische Kunst- und Bilddiskurse” was from March 22 to the 27. The first day we [...]

Oh Nietzsche…*sigh*

And by “pick-up,” I mean really in the relationship sort of since. I have determined that my relationship with Nietzsche is quite like that of [...]

The second time I had [...]

I mentioned that I wanted to write more in depth about Aristotle’s Causality and my own interpretations and theories which have sprung from it. When learning about causality, I discovered a definition along the lines of “the causes of natural phenomena, an inquiry into the nature of things.” This, of course, made me [...]
