Never even heard of that name, haha, but will do! :]

actually, I just glanced at the index of this book (has all the concepts and people), and Schopenhauer isn't mentioned. o-o"

Oh lucky you. I don't know if it was my mindset at the time, what with me being overwhelmed with other courses, but he was just murder. We had to read forty or so pages of him a night, and with me taking continuous notes to make sure I could digest it, it took me about 7 hours :cry: You'll no doubt have to study a bit of Immanuel Kant though. He's rather complex as well. I hope you have an awesome teacher =3

Yeap, I get 20 pages in the book with him. x3

I hope I get a good teacher too.
>w<
From what I heard, there are 3, and two of them are pretty good, and the last one is just lazy.

Lazy could be good if it meant a lighter course load, but with philosophy you probably want an engaged one.

Yea.

My friend summed up philosophy in two sentences.
"How do we know?"
"we don't."

LOL. That's pretty accurate. But even if we don't know, it's fun to stretch the mind a bit :yes:

That's true.
>w<

It's a bit disconcerting reading a philosophy book though, at least for me. I read things at ultra speed, so I was really surprised that I only got to page 88 in two hours. xD
All that thinking made me slow down.

Exactly! That's why Schopenhauer took me so long. Well that, and the fact that he does not stop giving examples for his points. So you have to re-gear every time he starts one.

Haha, yeaaa.
But I dunno, I generally skip over the super formal talk and go straight to the examples - those are really what get me thinking, not reading about some abstract concept.

Aaah. I made sure I read every word. I felt that it all adds up to the larger picture with philosophy. But that's just me.

I have a really short attention span.
That, coupled with long sentences musing about abstract stuff, you get a very bored and zoned out Windy.

I have a short attention span too (ever increasingly so, it seems o.o) so that was part of the problem as well. But I loved it none the less.

Oh hey - you're selling Easter eggs. You should have said so when we were chatting in my profile. I'll buy them all, if you're willing to sell them. Just send me a trade with my total, thanks.

Stuff is happening! Aren't you excited? (see first post if you want specifics, although stuff, especially mysterious stuff, is pretty exciting on it's own)

Well, I've been so distracted running the internal affairs of the Naughty Hellfire Club that I haven't had much time to stock and such. That all changes today. Biggles would sack me if she found me out.

Oh yes? Is this where we banter before getting down to haggling, or was that just a general sentiment of "waaant"?

Oh, okie dokie. -hugs- I have a feeling it will be here for you.

I also would like to point out that I am alarmed by Socrates' lack of pants. It indicates that he is wearing him when I look in inventory...
