Coleridge is a complete philosopher. He has expressed opinions in all major areas of philosophy. But, oddly, for such an original mind, his philosophy isn't really all that original. His philosophical appetite is great but his philosophical digestion - not so great. (Wellek makes this point well.)

I Heard a "Term" that would confuse Many Christians, "Christian Atheist" For Me it isn't Hard, Someone that Accepts the Teachings of Christ as a Great Philosopher without accepting that He was the Son of God! Not Terribly Complicated!

Every now and then I read a philosopher and am frustraited at thier nievity of how different people can be from each other. An example of institutionalisation by thier own experience. Models are not people. People are werid and messy and have changing motives. Planet University needs some new blood

But psychoanalysis has taught that the dead—a dead parent, for example—can be more alive for us, more powerful, more scary, than the living. It is the question of ghosts.

Where to even begin. Anthropic wants to "apply centuries of human moral wisdom to its models, as rapidly as possible," via crash courses with hand-picked religious thinkers. Why was one of the Jewish representatives an Israeli scholar who's defended autonomous weapons for armies and police?

The wisdom of the crooked tree comes from Zhuangzi, the ancient Chinese philosopher whose writings shaped Daoism. In one of his most enduring parables, Zhuangzi described a massive tree with a gnarled trunk and branches so twisted that no carpenter could make use of it.
