Well... I didn't realize Dave was so fragile or I'd have been gentler I guess. Ah well, if we can't find dialectical opposition we can always create some. >From an early letter from Josiah Royce to William James I find a fitting quote for an epitaph.
"For yourself I have only congratulations and best wishes. (on James engagement to Alice Howe Gibbons) Might all who philosophize do as well. On the whole however philosophy is a cold business. The world despises the man who engages in it, and he has to do his best to try to return the compliment. This is impossible. So he has to try the other plan and idealize the world. This ends in over-coloring and resulting disappointment -- such is the eternal process of speculation... With me in any case, it is quite obvious that I should be simply insufferable company. When a youngster will talk metaphysics the best thing to do with him is to shut him up by himself, or find some place where the people are as mad as he. And you, this summer, so I judge, will be remarkably sane. Yours very truly, Josiah Royce" On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 8:40 AM, david buchanan <[email protected]>wrote: > > To whom it may concern: > > This little party has become a drag for me.
