The term "irregular meter" was created to keep discontented, transitionists like you happy. Look at a poem for what it is, not what it isn't.

>things analytic philosophy has done
>literally just laying out formal basis for maths

what the fuck is with this wave of neo-pragmatist "i'm a continental but i only take the GOOD stuff from the continentals ;)" hacks

Probably no more than the majority of people on /r9k/

Probably depression.

Weininger or Mainländer.

You cannot prove rea is objective?

>>9505358
he's getting talked over you retard

But these things I desire make me happy. Whenever I dream of a new thing to do, I feel happy through and through, even when I know it won't be anything special when I actually achieve it.

>>9505325

Take an advice from dear Marsilio Ficino: non felix, laboriosa.

but that's exactly why real happiness comes from within.

I don't write essays in English, so I won't share any. I got a question for you, thought. What exactly are you trying to say? It seems to be an essay on aesthetics, but it's written in such a terribly unsystematic way that most terms rest on vague intuitions, rendering the content largely unintelligible.
Perhaps I'm just not used to this more literary style of essais.

>>9505336
It's a personal essay on the topic of transcendence.

>>9505369
And why did you decide to write it down? For the philosophical significance or because you think it has literary merit?
(Please don't read these question as being condescending. That's not at all the intention. I just want to understand your essay better)
