"It is a common assumption in philosophy that absolutely everything is up for grabs... there is something right about that. What I am now inclined to doubt, however, is that... any one philosopher can [ethically] open a critical challenge to absolutely anything..."

I think about things like what it takes for the lightbulb to be possible or the miracle of language and I'm beset by this growing yet overwhelming sense of enchantment, of being immersed in a dense yet fluid sea of... everything real.

It is still the case that I have to recover from doing things like going outside. Now I can't read. I wish I could preempt this change in my reading habits.

One thing I am learning from these papers on race, racism, the definition of African philosophy, context, etc: Universality must be produced and reproduced. There is a deep kinship with later Platonism here, where this is transposed to divine activity.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

It's rather jarring to realize that when many normies talk about "philosophy", they mean speculation about "vibrations" or something. It's very jarring. Drop actual philosophy, even accessible one, and its crickets.

And the people bowed and prayed To the neon God they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls" And whispered in the sound of silence...

“It is essential for contemporary Christianity to recover the wisdom of the “cosmic Christology” already intuited by theologians such as Origen (c. 183–254), Irenaeus (c. 115–200), and Maximus the Confessor (c. 580–662).” - Laurenti Magesa, "What is Not Sacred", Pg. 172

None of us counts for much. All of us will be forgotten eventually. But there's something miraculous about us being here at all; To see this world, breathe its air, smell the forest at night, feel the Sun on our skin. If we're still able to do that, there is a point in living. - Juste Belmont

The point of calling traditions "spiritual technologies" is not to reduce traditions to lifeless mechanics, but to raise technology to the "idiom of spirits", where it can signify anew an instrument of communion between the irreducible divine and human agents.

Antonio's older essays on Proclus' "theodicy" (if you can call it that) are usually incredibly interesting and also incredibly terrifying.

"This fact, that what is most essential about Beauty is ultimately the hallmark of an individual God, is the ground for Proclus' explanation that Love (or Beauty), since it is a divine principle, produces not only things that are like it, but also unlike it.

"Thus, to return to our subject, both divine and vulgar lovers are called “lovers” because each of them pursues a certain kind of “beauty” and these two “beauties” are equally called “beauty” because they share in the hallmark or “ἰδιότης” of beauty.
