I'm a philosophy student that tends to post about really serious things unseriously and about really unserious things seriously.
I was once described as a "beautiful, intelligent iguana".
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
How the fuck does a professor expect me to explain the a priori/a posteriori distinction, and the analytic/synthetic distinction, and how their interlacing forms a fourfold, and explain Kant’s investigation into howa priori, synthetic statements are possible, and lay all this over Russell’s distinction between knowledge by description and knowledge by acquaintance,
in
two
fucking
double-spaced
pages?
Seriously, it’s just like “yes, let me completely gloss over some of the most fundamental concepts in the history of philosophy [sans Russell because he sucks] and somehow be completely okay with that textual violence”. Ugh. I have too many problems with page limits.
