@RyanHaecker There's Nietzsche: "Only as an aesthetic phenomenon are existence and the world eternally justified." But what if philosophy doesn't reach its highest form as thought about reality, but as transfigured participation in it? ?s=20

@jasonwblakely 1/7 A mildly contrarian take from the farm shadows. I sense the assumption here is that philosophy means a high-cultural, literate, self-consciously theoretical form—abstract, argumentative, institutionally legible, disciplined away from myth, song, prophecy, and the numinous.
