I embarked upon a new topic of study last night, the Philosphy of Art, apparently the subject last week (which I missed due to a vast amount of confusion about which Tuesday was actually the 18th April) was that awkward old bugger Plato and his complete down on poets; I am sure he and I would have had many a scrap over that. Last night was all about me old mate ‘arry Stottle, a much more amenable old geezer indeed, and his thoughts about tragedy, all very interesting indeed.
Coming weeks are going to be devoted to some interesting old coves indeed, people like Hume, Kant, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche to name but a few. The first two are fine, the third I know very little about, but old Nietzsche, well I think he was just argumentative and would disagree with anything even if he knew he was wrong; a bit like me really, so I should be quite at home with him.
Given all of the above it is quite possible that the intellectual content here will soar over the coming weeks…
