On Descartes mind and body problem:
'because we're talking about citrus fruits'
'but you wouldn't mix lemon juice with apple juice, i think'
I did enjoy the philosophy lectures ^^. but i must admit the style of lecture is an accquired taste. ^^. Some quirks like the above would come out and i just had to include them in my notes. ^^
i noted down the amount of people who would come to the lectures half way through the semester...it got to a low 9 at week nine...and then picked up to a 22 at week 12. ^^ though there is probably over a hundred actually enrolled in the course it was nice to have a quite lecture.
atually i really like the quote 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating' ^^...i would always imagine pudding and miss then next few words ^^. and 'through a glass darkly'..though i don't fully understand that one i quite like the image that would come to one's mind.
oh another. 'animals might make a mess in metaphysics' which i thought had an absolutely classic double meaning ^^
of course Descartes didn't always get off lightly talking about the mind and body 'it seems to display the crasiness of Descartes' ^^
ohhh i like the glass darkly quote.... mysterious
ReplyDeletethese lectures sound so much more imaginative than mine. although mine appear more........inventive. hm is there a difference?
