There are seri- ous things in life that we can pick up from charlatans and bandits; there are philosophical insights that make fools of us; there are lessons in consistency and adherence to law that surface by chance and originate from chance. Everything lies resolved in all things. Fernando Pessoa Work in philosophy—in many ways like work in architecture—is actually more like work on oneself. On one’s own perception. On how one sees things. (And what one demands from them). Ludwig Wittgenstein Only he who understands this art of existing, treating in his acting the par- ticular thing apprehended as the utterly unique and being just as clear about the finitude of his acting, only he understands finite existence and can hope to complete something in it.
